Lacey walked through the isle of the church with her head down. Her body was shaking without end and the tears were rushing down her frail and fragile cheek. People neared her, asking her what was wrong but she threw her eyes towards them and they immediately sat down in their seat, diverting their eyes. She cast her gaze back down to the red carpeting that led through the church. She looked up to the cross on the front wall, holding the crucifix of Jesus Christ. Tears still ran down her cheek. She looked over to the confessional and closed her eyes for a moment, seeing someone come out of it.
She stepped up to it and entered the darkness, closing the door behind her. "Forgive me, father. For I have sinned." Tears rushed quickly. "I'm sorry, daddy." She said, breaking down. "..I'm sorry."
He opened his eyes, leaning his head against the wall separating the both of them. "..It's alright child," he said in a sorrowful voice. Many thoughts were racing through his head. He knew she was an abomination to the human race, he never knew anyone or even heard of anything like this.. Her powers were overrunning her. They were dangerous; he was actually scared of her. "It's alright, child. We shall speak of this later tonight." He whispered. "Speak of this to no one else.. Understand?"
Lacey nodded and sniffled. "..Yes, father." She crossed her heart and stepped out of the confessional. She looked over the pue's and sighed. Not many people were there, only a few men and women. Some stayed the whole night.
She didn't know what would happen. The only time she'd ever seen him angry was when she spoke of her curse, or.. when it broke through. And, it had happened. Again... Worse than the last time. She winced just thinking about it.
A few hours passed and only a few people were still there, a few crying women and some men.. That's about it. The norm. She looked at the cross that she had been staring at since she got out of the confessional. "..I'm sorry, my lord. I'm sorry, I was born." She sobbed silently, putting her hands to her cheeks.
She jumped slightly feeling the warm comforting hand of the priest on her shoulder. "Don't cry, Lacey." He said with a warm smile. "You'll be alright." He said as she rushed into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight, his eyes on the brim of tears as he pulled her into the back room. He knew what he was going to do.. And he knew it had to be done; for the good of mankind.
"I'm sorry, Daddy." She sobbed. "...I'm sorry."
He pulled away for a minute and looked into her eyes. "So am I." He said, wrapping his arms around her neck and pressing his thumbs against her throat, so she could not breath... Could not scream, nothing.
She tried to fight back, but he was too strong. "Da-a-dd-dy..."
Oni had been sitting in the church for an hour watching a girl. She was special, he couldn't pinpoint how but she was. He watched her being pulled into the back room he knew what would happen by the look on the preachers face, he knew that if he did nothing the girl would die soon, he dropped from the darkest part of the celing and startled a few people, why had he come here he didnt know but he wouldnt let this one die for the short sightedness of one man. He began to walk down the isle and into the back room to see the priest choking his own daughter, "You should put her down now and let go of her neck." he said as he emerged from the shadows, "What your doing is such a horible thing, and you call yourself a holy man, how truly pathetic now let her go or ill have to use force."
He looked to the man that had came from no where, then back to Lacey who was limp in his arms. Tears were rushing down his cheeks as he backed away, dropping her to the floor. He backed away to the wall and closed his eyes. "Oh, God. Please forgive me.." He looked down to his shaking hands and then over to Lacey, who wasn't moving. "..Take her away from here! Take her away from here, or they will come for her!" He yelled to the man. "Take her away, GO!" He yelled, breaking the silence in the sanctuary.
Lacey coughed harshly, trying to bring in the oxygen that she needed, but her breath came hard. "D-a-dd-y." She whispered closing her eyes.
Oni smiled, "Your smarter and a better man than I thought." He walked over to the girl and picked her up. "I'm sorry this may be a bit abrupt. My names Oni, I'll take you somewhere safe, for now sleep." With that, he leapt to his feet and out the back door at a high speed.
