~Don't let awkwardness get the best of you~
She could feel the gazes on her as she entered the room.
"Welcome to the land of saints" Mary said as she welcome her in.
To surprise, the room was filled with girls dressed exactly like Mary. Elena what have you gotten yourself into?

Elena's pov.

I tapped mary on the shoulder trying to get her attention.
"sister" she said to everyone she passed, giving a slight bow.
"Mary" I called for what seems like the hundred time. She answered me?
"Yes. . . "
"Elena" I said completing her sentence
"Are we in heaven" I asked. She said we were in the land of saints. The people here aren't saints.

Elena could see and feel the sins within them. She didn't know how, but she could sense the sins which each of them committed.
Besides, where was Alexander. She needed to ask him something important.
"Erm" she was interrupted by a loud sound.
Everyone in the room put their hands together and started to whisper. From the way they sounded, Elena could tell they were praying.
*
They finally finished praying after what seemed like hours. They all disappeared, leaving only six people in the room.
She wasn't surprised at this. She has been through a lot these past few months.

Elena's pov.

A man dressed like a pope nodded to one of the girls; the girl walked towards me.
"Daughter of Zanta, what's your name" she asked
"I'm Elena" I said
"Klara"
"Elena..please come" the pope man said .
"You may go" he said to all of them.
"Yes father" they chorused

I followed him out of the room. He seemed he wanted to show me around.
"So Elena. Start with telling me about yourself" he said.
(Note:- Elena was walking around; following him wherever he went)
"I'm Elena Martinez"
"I'm 20. I study at a college in New Orleans" I said
He seemed disappointed though. He dressed exactly like a pope. Black all through, white cap, a pair of glasses. He was probably in his late 40s.
"Em. Your father was a powerful demon" he said. It seems he didn't know what to say again.
He led me to a large field. The girls were punching, kicking and doing all sorts.
"Klara, Mary, Tatiana, Vera...the others are not here" he said as he pointed at each of them.

she managed to walk away from the pope man. She needed to ask Alexander something important.
"Alexander" she called again; hoping he would come. The other times she had called him, he came.
But this time; she didn't see him anywhere.
I heard a cough from behind me, so I turned back. Alexander!
Oh its the pope man
"I'm Philip....you can just call me father" he said. How pathetic!
Is this what I came here to do; make new friends. I came to unite with people of my kind.
"Ok Philip" I said. There is no way I'm calling him Father anyway. I looked behind him and waved to Mary.

"This is where you'll be staying"Mary said as she led me to a small room.
"Ok... thanks"
I looked around the room. It would have been total darkness if not for the small shades of light that came from the window.
As I settled in, I noticed a framed picture on a stool. Mary saw as I stared that the picture so she picked it up immediately.
"I thought I got rid of that" she said.
I saw the tears in her eyes when she stared at the picture.
"Welcome" she said again and left.
On the picture was a girl with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was beautiful.
"Alexander" I yelled when I caught sight of him.
"I waited till you were alone" he said and sat on the chair.
"Are we in heaven" I blurted
"I never said we were in heaven. I only said I was taking you to a place to learn the holy ways. A place you could learn how to fight" he explained.
"Oh" I completely forgot the fact that I'm killing eighteen demons.
I lay on my bed comfortably. I totally forgot I was wearing only my underwear. In front of Alexander!
I stared at my almost n***d body and looked back up trying to see his reaction. He sat there smiling. He was just smiling. How weird!!
I averted his gaze and covered my self with the sheets. Before I knew it, I dozed off.

Elena woke up again, but this time, earlier. It was that annoying sound again. To her surprise, Alexander was gone.
She quickly got changed and found her way to were the sound was coming from. They were praying again.
She ran to stay near mary. She was the only person Elena could easily approach.

Elena's pov

After praying....
"Good morning" Mary said
"Morning"
"Get ready for today. You have a lot of training to do" Klara said. Or is it Tatiana. I wasn't sure. Although, I was head over heels for her British accent.
"Morning sister" Mary greeted her
"Morning Klara" I said and she gave me a slight smile. I guess her name was Klara after all.
*
"Now let's begin" Klara said. Leading me to a group of girls. I had to dress like them too because that was the only clothes they provided.
(Please follow the book, it means a lot to me)
Come to think of it, I've held against my free will. Maybe I could...
'Don't even think about it' I heard my thoughts. It's Alexander of course.
'Now do the right thing, smart little girl'
Little. Who is he calling little. I rolled my eyes at that.
I glanced over at Mary who was walking right beside us. She gave me a reassuring smile.
Though, I could see the sadness in her eyes. Only God knows what happened to her.
Might as well start the training.
