CHAPTER XX

OCTOBER

The young nun slowly turns her head to look at the woman she sees as her mother who called her name. “Sister…” she whispered with her eyes are full of pride, oozing.

And her smile is crook as if she’s saying, “I have done it, I killed the beast, they’re safe now.” Her weak smile turns crook and she let out a small laugh, just like what every winner does.

This made Mary Jane’s heart filled with both grim and concern for her. She cups her mouth to avoid letting out a sob, “Blanche…”

Mary Jane wants to cheer for her because the beast has been slayed but she can’t find the strength to do so. She was pushed aside when some of the ministers runs and enter.

And they saw her holding the cross of Luxuria with blood all over her and a corpse beneath her. Blanche’s smile was mistaken by those who didn’t knew what happened.

“She’s a devil!” one of the ministers yelled, “Get her! Get her! She killed the high priest!”

The kids who saw the scene began to cry so sister Tinkah urge them to get away from the scene. “Hurry, back to your quarters, I said back your quarters.”

And then all of the male ministers went in, “Blanche, put the weapon down!” they yelled.

“I have done it, minister…” she whispered trying to tell them that they are finally safe.

“Yes! You’ve done it!” one of the ministers is talking to her and keeping her occupied as the rest surrounds her. “So, put the weapon down!”

And suddenly they sneak and steal the cross from her and pin her on the floor pressing her face down and as they held her hair, they relentlessly hit her face until it bleeds. Kicking her not thinking where they might hit her, cursing her and calling her names.

“Devil!” they all shouted.

“Murderer!”

“Killer!”

“Fiend!”

“You’re a demon! Demon! Demon! Murderer!”

Until Mary Jane decided to step up, “Stop it!” she yelled, “don’t lay a hand on her!”

They stop for a moment to look at her for a mere second but then they continue and they didn’t listen instead they push her aside and began to accuse her, “You’re with her, right?! When did you start to plan this huh?!”

“No-!”s

One of those who are beating Blanche trod to her way and lifts his hand, he was about to hit Mary Jane when Paul, Iggy and Red stood in front of him, defending the nun. “Stop it!” Paul yelled despite his trembling knees, “how dare you hit sister Mary Jane!”

“You brats… you’re not supposed to be here…” he growled, “Gregoria, what are you doing? Take the kids out of here!” he yelled but he found the nun he’s been calling passed out just outside the room.

He clicks his tongue then grab Paul on his arms and drag him out of the room while Red and Iggy followed closely behind him trying to beat his hand and let go of their friend.

“Let him go!” they yelled.

But then in the end they were thrown outside, and Tinkah didn’t hesitate to get them away. Leaving only the four male ministers inside, a dead body, and the two nuns.

The other three ministers are keep punching and kicking Blanche to the point where she couldn’t even stand on her own and her face is already unrecognizable.

“Stop it! Stop!” Mary Jane stood up but she was kick down again.

“Call the wizards! We have a murderer here!” Minister roared.

“Wait, we can explain!” Mary Jane pushed herself up despite the pain she’s feeling, “let us explain!”

“Us?! then you’re with her!” they accused her. “Get her too! She’s a compliance!”

“Wait! Listen to me first!” she shouted. “This is not what you think it is! Daleon isn’t what you always see! He’s a-!” she was cut off when once again she was kicked down.

“Daleon is the high priest! He’s the reverend father!”

“There’s no room for explanation here,” he whispered, “seize them! And we’ll give them to the wizards as soon as they arrived.”

“No…” Blanche utters, yet the cough of blood stops her from continuing her statement. “She… she doesn’t have anything to with this.” She breaths out, blood and saliva are mixing together leaving a string of red liquid on her broken lips and floor.

“Enough with the nonsense!” she was again struck on her cheeks. “Just wait until you can see your own body from afar.”

Before the minster could walk away, she gathers all her strength to grab his ankle.

“What the hell?” he gasped and look at the crawling figure of the bloodied nun. “Let go of me!” he shouted and kick’s her hand, “a monster like you have no place here!”

“I can’t believe that the person who will kill the high priest is the same person whom he nourished.” They whispered.

“Yeah, it’s really unbelievable.”

But Blanche is adamant not to let go thus she grip his ankle tighter with her bruised finger, “Let sister Mary Jane go.” She whispered. “Just take me instead… I did this all by myself. I did it all…”

And so being said, she was kicked on her head and her consciousness began to slip away.

Mary Jane crawled to her side to protect her form anymore pain, “Stop this… please.” She begged as keeps on hugging her bloody stature.

She caresses her wounded face so gentle as if she’s caressing the head of the new born baby, “Blanche…” she whispered as her tears flows from her eyes to her beaten cheek.

“I’m sorry, you have to went through this…” she cried internally, “I should have been the one who’s suffering and not you.”

“If I only have the courage to stood up then this wouldn’t happen.” She whispered solemnly, “I’m sorry.”

“Yeah, you better shed your tear while she’s still alive, because surely tomorrow she will never see the sun.” The minister clicked his tongue and went outside.

But they were greeted by furious kids especially Shaira and Bernadette, “Sister Blanche is innocent!”

“What are you talking about?! Did you see what she just did?! She killed the high priest!” the minister yelled for all the other kids to hear.

And series of audible yet unclear yells were heard.

“No, she did not!...  she has to do it!” Shaira step up to say her feelings, “can’t you see?! She protected Lossa!”

The minister only scoffs at her and this made Bernadette shout, “He’s hurting Lossa, so she has to do what she’s done! If anyone should be blame her it’s father Daleon!”

“These kids are brainwashed…” he said and put his hand over their heads, “Oh great, Luxuria please cleanse the minds of these children for they have been brainwashed by the demoness who crawl out of hell-”

But he was cut off when Bernadette pushed him away and Shaira swats his hand, “Sister Blanche is innocent!” they yelled.

“Minister Ybreg, the wizards are here.”

“Bring those murderers out.” He ordered sternly.

Upon the entrance of the convent four wizards are already there, looking as mighty as ever, “We are called her because of a murder.”

“Yes, the suspect is right there.” They threw Blanche’s unconscious body, “and her alliance” and they kicked mary jane

Btu the nun didn’t even spare them a glance instead she ccrawled and hug blanche again.

“Take the away” oen of the wozard said.

“No!” Mare steps tp the scene

“Sister Marga!” Minsiters gasped at her sudden appearance, “let her go.” She commanded them.

“what do you mean?” the minister suddennlty hesitate to give the young lady and Mary jane to the wizards. For her too is scared of her.

“I meanth what I sid,” she mumbled and trod towards them.

She held Mary jane on her amrs and pulled her up but the nun didn’t budge from letiin ggo og Blance, “Let go,Mary jane.” Sshe whispered, “let her go.”

Mary Jane was adamant from at first until she Marga pulled her away from her, “This nun has nothing to do with this!” she declared,  “I was the one who brainwashed her to kill the high priest!”

“What are you talking about?” ministers and nuns began to murmurs, “so you were saying wyou;re with them?”

“I am not with anyone, I only live for myself and nothing more, I only used them to get what I want.” She stated boldly.

“What you wanted?”

“Yes, you heard me righ. I wanted Daleon to die.”

Everyone in the scene began to get tense from the revelation she’s confessing.

“So you mea…”

“Yes, I was the mastermind behind all of this.” She proclaimed.

“What are you saying?” mary Jane breaths out.”

“Why?” wizards start to draw their weapons and pointed it to he, “why didn you do that?!”

 “why wouldn’t i?” she steps forward and sauter towar the weapons getiting flosr to the wuxars, “ isn’t it a law to kill all the beasts ramig around and hrtign ppwple?”

“What the hell are oyo tsying!?”

“She’s out o fher mind, get her too!”

Ministers ordered the wizards to yet Marga didn’t flinch, “how fool of you weeds who ewants to be a ministers so you will be able to leave under the protection of the wizards and live like your one of the nobles.”

They were taken abck from what she started,

“And you know what’s more humiliating? It is that you chose to serve a monster.”

I have to say it now.
