Chapter 1: Chapter One.
I wake up, shaking. My breaths become heavy and I can still hear screams in the background. I take a huge sigh of relief and take two puffs from my inhaler. I look around and everything seems okay. I was about to go to bed, but then Mother Superior walks in.
"Are you okay Iris?" She asks.
"Yes mother." I reply, slipping my inhaler into my pillow.
"Okay. Then let's go and have our morning prayers, shall we?"
I nod and follow her. I pushed the thoughts of the dream away and decide to focus on that day ahead. After we were done with our prayers, I head to the confession box to clean it up. Just then, I hear heavy footsteps and a tingy feeling overwhelms me. Oh no. Soon after, I hear a gunshot followed by screams coming from the sisters quarters.
"Pray mercy, please don't hurt us Wallace." mother superior begged.
"I just want Agustus. Where is he?" A deep voice, bearing a heavy Scottish accent asks. I assumed it was Wallace.
"I swear I don't know. But when he returns I'll inform him about your arrival."
He chuckles coldly and I hear footsteps walking away, followed by sighs and whimpers. I was about to thank the heavens when the footsteps approach where I was, then suddenly I hear.
"Gotcha!"
I jump and curl myself in the corner.
"Please don't hurt me."
I could feel his burning stare as I shut my eyes tightly. After a few seconds of silence, he finally broke it.
"Well you are quite the beauty."
He had ocean Blue eyes the tattoo was creeping to his left side of the neck. He had an ear piercing and was wearing an official white shirt with the first three buttons open and black slacks and black matching shoes.He was built and was very tall. He had a defined jawline and shoulder length black hair. His aura screamed of power and his cologne was very expensive yet manly. He made me shiver in my hair stood on end as he locked his eyes with mine.
"What's your name princess?" he asks with a touch of lust in his voice.
"Iris." I respond, fear detectable in my voice.
"When are you taking your vows Iris?"
"Tomorrow."
"Perfect. I'll come for you very early tomorrow. Prepare for me."
With that, he walked out as if it was not a big deal.
Oh my goodness. What is this? What did he mean when he said he was coming back for me. Just then, Mother Superior walked in and helped me out of the box. She tried talking to me but I was way too bothered by Wallace's words to hear what she was saying.
She takes me to the sisters quarters where I am met with my fellow sisters who are shaken to the core. A while later Father Agustus arrives, worry written all over his face
"Did he hurt you?"
"I'm not sure. Ask Iris."
"Are you okay Iris?"
"He's coming to get me. Don't let him get to me. Please."
Just then, Father Agustus phone rang and he set it to loudspeaker.
"Peace be into you Father." a familiar Scottish accent mocks.
"Please Wallace, don't involve Iris. Just come for me."
"Pronounce my princess's name with a shiver father. Else I'll make sure you aren't able to say a word."
"But I'll pay what I owe..."
"Tomorrow? Morning?"
Father Agustus remains silent.
"Aah, thought so. I'll come to pick up my princess tomorrow. Make her ready for me."
"But Wallace please..."
"It's either that, or I will come for all of them, each for one of my men. Are we clear?"
Father Agustus looks at me and says,
"Yes sir."
No.
They can't do this to me.
"Mother, you wouldn't..."
But she just looked down. She can't be serious.
"After I came here all I have wanted was and is to serve God till the end of time. Now you want to shatter my dreams? Not fair."
"Sorry dear, but what is not fair is sparing you at the expense of everyone." Mother Superior says.
"B..but..no...the...there....ha..has to be ...another way. Please don't return Me to where I came from. Please..."
"Sorry."
I just stormed to my room and cried on my pillow. No. Not again. I take a huge sigh and I feel my chest begin to rise. Closing in. I take in a deep breath and reach out for my inhaler.
Oh no.
It's downstairs.
I am about to give up and die when someone Inserts my inhaler into my mouth. She puffs twice and I feel my chest relax. I look up to see a pair of hazel eyes staring up at me.
"Sorry about what happened Iris. You don't deserve it." a soft voice says, smiling down at me.
"How did you know about it Juan, you're just a child."
"I care enough to know everything about you."
"She hugs me. As much as I want to cry, I have to train the Children to be tough. So I force a smile, and it doesn't convince her because she just hugged me tighter.
Once she leaves I tuck myself into the covers and think a lot about what is going to happen.
Morning arrived and I didn't even get enough sleep. As I was contemplating, I heard a knock at the door.
"Please Iris, come out." mother Superior asks.
"I am not. I am not coming out not after what he did." I reply
"Well tell him that yourself." Father Agustus says.
I look outside my window and I am met with those ocean Blue eyes. He has a smirk on his face and a pistol in his hand. All the nuns are arrayed in a line before him, shivering in fear. Oh God, come down and save us all.
"Well princess, just come down and spare me the trouble." he says.
"Forget it."
"Wrong answer."
With that, he shot one of the nuns right between her eyes. I feel my whole body paralyse and I literally can't even move.
"Your answer is still..."
"N...no...you didn't..."
Before I could finish, he shot another. Why is he so heartless. My hands get a mind of their own and grab a rope, and throw it over my pane.
"Wallace if you don't stop your nonsense, then I will kill myself." I say without thinking.
"Oh princess, you don't have to. I have too much leverage on you." He signals his men, and they bring Juan forth. Oh No!
"You are an animal" I whisper.
"Well, I am hurt. So I shall hurt someone too so that I share the pain "
He aims the gun at Juan, but before he could pull the trigger I yell,
"Fine. I will come with you. Just please, let Juan go."
"I love your voice."
With that I rush down quickly and hug Juan. Suddenly, Wallace grabs my arm and puts me into one of the black cars out of the four. I sit on the window seat and wave at everyone as they all cry. I force a reassuring smile and they buy it. Immediately we were out of the church compound, I felt my eyes sting. I cried quietly as I took a puff of my inhaler after every 10 minutes. Wallace made a call to someone, but they were speaking Italian so I couldn't understand a thing.
"Well princess, it's a long way home. If I were you I would make myself comfortable. By the way your emerald green eyes are bewitching." Wallace says, then turns to his phone. I, on the other hand, give up on my inhaler and decide to sleep to at least avoid Wallace's face. I slowly sink into my chair and place my head on the window, then slowly slip to Lala land.
