Little things change so much Part 64:
Blessed be

--------------------

"Patty, are you there?"
Penny asked into the only lit place in the room. The circle of 5 candles.
"Yeah, I'm here, mother"
A gentle woman voice said. Then the room was filled with gold light swirling around and then the mother of the three girls appeared in the middle of the circle.
"What did he do everything to her?"
Penny asked, not even really wanting to know
"He raped her several times, hit her with his belt on back and stomach, cut her arms with some knife and slapped her a million times"
Patty told her mother about how Jason had handled her daughter
"Is she okay enough to stay home?"
"Yeah. It's only the skin which is hurt."
Patty said
"And her soul"
She added
"I shouldn't have left the house"
"It's not your fault, mom. You forbid her to see him again. You couldn't have done more."
"I actually would have to punish her for not following my commands"
"Are you?"
"I don't think I can. Look at her. Isn't she already punished enough?"
"Thanks mom"
Penny smiled lowly
"Blessed be, Patty"
"Blessed be"
Patty responded and then disappeared into the golden light again. The candles automatically went out as well.
