The Zios Cult (Creepypasta)

(Slight gore warning,proceed with caution if squeemish.Hope you enjoy the story,this is my first one :) -biscuit)

Jiffy, a small innocent bunny was hopping along,feeling a tad off.Something was bothering her and she was set on finding out what.She soon looked around to realize every animal in jamaa was giving her a strange glare,their bodies seemingly trembling in fear.this frightened the small rabbit,believing it was her mind playing tricks on her,she shook her head and looked around shakily,everyone seemingly normal,chatting with their buddies and overtrading items,wolves calling themselves cats,advertising their shops that sold items in unimaginable amounts.she sighed a breath of relief before hopping along into the temple of zios,turning her glance to the giant mask like god hovering above her. She felt a soft tap on her shoulder,making her flinch.She turned to see a tall and lanky deer,seemingly wearing all types of zios attire,including a cloak,armbands,and most importantly-A mask,that looked to be lazily sewn on to the face,the stitches in jagged positions with tiny open wounds that were slightly infected. She quickly stepped back,brushing off her shoulder as her tiny eyes widened.

"What seems to be the matter?" The deer asked,in a surprisingly welcome voice.Jiffy suddenly felt safer.She took a large gulp,before asking in a shaky voice: "M..may I know why you tapped my shoulder?"The deer walked closer to her,the mask's beady eyes staring at her. "Why for enlightenment,of course!" The deer flung his head up in happiness,raising his hoof. "Enlightenment..?" Jiffy asked curiously. "Don't tell me you don't know the great word of zios...Oh of course you don't! Any young mortal these days pays no attention to the research of old! Which is why i've come to spread the word,to jammers like you.." The deer's sudden change in emotion frightened jiffy,she tried hopping off,but the deer pulled her back quickly. "I promise you,the ways of zios will change your life for the better.." He muttered into the bunny's ear..

She realized she had no other choice but to listen to him. She spoke up. "I..I believe I'm ready.." She said,her body trembling profusely as the deer threw her onto his back. "WONDERFUL~! Now you've gotten ready for the ways,it's about time you start to accept them." He started prancing off,seemingly to one of his buddy's dens,as Jiffy held onto him tightly. She closed her eyes,and before she new it the deer exclaimed loudly.."We're HERE! Isn't it simply amazing?!" she fluttered her eyes open,looking around,they were in a stone room, banners along the walls,several golden statues, and a golden rug plastered onto the floor with the sun's rays shining onto it making it shimmer.It was pretty clear they were passionate about this,because they spent all of their gems on the statues and decor. "y..yeah actually..I was expecting something different.." Jiffy exclaimed softly,before hopping off his back."Why in zios' name would you think that? Only the best for our lord and savior!" The deer said before prancing inside,a brown great horned owl wearing zios attire as well swooped down from the top floor. "WELCOME!" He yelled,before landing in front of jiffy,holding out his long wing to introduce himself. "I see my priest here has brought you to learn the ways of our savior hmm?I hope you'll enjoy your time here.." He smirked. "I..I'm jiffy,a rabbit as you can see,I come from a long line of-"The owl suddenly interrupted her. "We must go over rules.." He raised his voice slightly,placing his talon on Jiffy's paw making her flinch."This is your life now,you sleep here,eat here,you never leave to the outside world again,and most importantly you stay in the quarters we assign you,you don't go upstairs,and you worship zios everyday.you sit and pray to him,you send your best wishes to him,you leave your best items to him and you stay away from mira..She is nothing but a fool,unneeded to us,useless,you understand?" Jiffy nods,her eyes tearing up as she realizes what she got herself into."Alright then,it is about time we begin the enlightening classes,follow me." He leads her to the gold rug,motioning for her to take a seat as the deer got seated on a pillow behind a podium. "Zios," He begins,looking up to a banner. "Our lord,our savior,he watches over us,he takes care of us,tells us our wrong doings and keeps us in well health,and blesses us in battle.Those who do not pay attention to him have no luck in life and only believe in wrong doing." Jiffy begins spacing out,staring at the upstairs quarters which was heavily bordered up with wooden planks nailed against door frames."You got that?.." The deer exclaimed,glaring at her. She faced him nodding quickly.
