Hiding Nun! No need for Death!
"Dear lady... please, young lady... do open your eyes..." Rae's eyes fluttered open. She
sat up holding her stomach.
"Aw, I think I'm gonna hurl again!" She leant over and spewed whitish substance. The man
held her shoulders. She coughed twice, and moved away from the mess. "Where the hell am I? Who
the hell are you?"
"You're in the church basement. A young man brought you here. He carried a gun... he
forced me to go here, and guard you, so you wouldn't get out." She looked at the cross around the
old man's neck.
"You're the Pastor!" She exclaimed. "A man of the heavens! Sir, I am sorry for my
language, I'm a good girl, I really am, I took communion as a child, and I help those in need...
Father, can you forgive me?" She shook in the presence of the priest.
"My child, you are forgiven. I don't blame you for your surprise. You're an honest,
hardworking young lady. I've seen you on your farm, and meant to talk to you sooner. I don't want
you to remain here in your illness. The man who works at your farm, name of 'Clifford', has
fallen ill to the poison as well. He is in the hospital, as he has been so often." The elderly
man seemed to shiver with every sentence. "You must go to him."
"How, Father?" She listened to him, wide-eyed.
"I have an idea..." He smirked, and hobbled over to an old closet. "Old Father Cartor
used to run an little orphanage here. That's me." He added, at her odd look. "I have some old
things you might like..."
Cliff looked at the blank walls. No visitors. No flowers. Nobody. He was alone, and the
office was closing. Just then, a nun entered the building. "May I visit, with a blessing for the
patient?" Her voice was very soft. She wore a rusty silver cross, and carried a bottle.
"Certainly, dear nun. He lies in wait for a companion."
She walked over, her robes swishing. He nodded his head, acknowledging her. "What is your
name?"
She pulled off her hood slightly. "It's me, Cliff. Rae!"
He sat up disbelievingly. "Rae... it is you! Why are you here?"
"I had to see you. I can't stay long. Listen, as soon as you are well, this is my
request: Go to the church everyday. Ask the minister. He'll explain everything." She walked out.
"Father, forgive me for I feel I have sinned." It had been a day and Cliff was fine. Kai
and Gray had tagged along on this heroic mission.
"Tell me of your troubles, child." Old Father Cartor rasped.
"I feel guilty, for I request too much of your services." He looked nervous. "I asked a
nun if she would help me, and she did, but now I feel bad."
"There are no nuns here." Father Cartor smiled to himself. "You must have been being
haunted by the ghost of Sister Helen, who died a terrible death. You and your friends must come
with me to the basement." The congregated worshippers looked up as the old man hobbled away.
"Now then, boys." Father Cartor turned around. "I couldn't do this upstairs. Rae, come
out." Rae stepped out of the shadows. Her cobalt eyes shone with tears, and she instantly dove on
to Kai's chest.
"I'm scared... he treats me so bad... he threatens to shoot me, and Mr. Cartor... you've
gotta get me out of here..."
Kai nervously patted her back. "It's okay, Rae, we'll get you out of here..."
Gray gasped: something the stoic man never did. "Someone... somebody is right behind
us... Cliff! Cartor! Run!" Gray hit the dirt, AS TWO SHOTS FIRED! A merciless Silas stood behind
him, holding the gun!
"Ooh..." Cartor moaned as he hit the ground, bleeding.
"Father Cartor! NO!" Rae began sobbing over the elderly man's dying body. Silas dropped
the gun, and marched towards Rae.
"You will never escape me. I will take you away, far beyond what... oof!" Cliff jabbed
Silas in the stomach!
"Harris, now!" Kai yelled into a walkie-talkie. Cliff and Silas began to do battle with
one another. Rae jumped into the spar as well. Cliff found himself thrown out on his butt, and
Rae socking Silas in the jaw!
"This is for what you did to me!" She hit him in the stomach. "This is for Cliff!" She
hit him upside the head. "And this," She panted, looking at the figure before her, bleeding
pitiful man before her, and wiped a trickle of blood off her lip. "This is for Mr. Cartor!"
"Oooooh!!!!!!!" (Note: I cut out exactly what she did, because it was too explicitly
violent. You should know, anyway.)
"You have the right to remain silent. You will not be granted a trial. You have been
convicted for the kidnapping of this here young lady and the murder of Gershom Cartor..." Rae
sniffled as Pastor Cartor was carried out- dead.
Cliff and Gray were sad and silent, watching the poor lonely girl go to the grave of the
man she had barely known: every day. She had ignored her work, and left it to Cliff. People felt
bad for her, knowing how much of a loss it was for her.
"Hey, why the long face?" Rae looked up. A cheerful young man with long hair in a braid,
wearing a priest's outfit was hovering over her. "I'm Duo Maxwell, now Priest Maxwell. You can
call me... Duo!" He seemed very relaxed. Cliff clenched his fist. This guy was trying to steal
Rae!
"Duo!" A woman (!) stepped out of the church. "Duo, what are you doing out here? It's 7
in the morning." She smiled at him. "Come inside."
"Oh, Hilde, this is the young farmer girl. The one we've been buying from. This is my
wife, Hilde."
"A pleasure to meet you." Rae bowed.
"Now listen. Don't dwell on things past. What's done is done. Silas is in jail; you have
a business to run. Go to your work, in the name, not of God, but of love." He paused, his cobalt
blue eyes flaming with pleasure. "But I'll come and visit you, you come and visit me. We'll be
friends. Goodbye!" He walked off.
Rae watched him go. "Thank you." Cliff grabbed her arm, and she shrieked.
"Come on, you! You've got grass to weed, and a cow to feed!" She laughed. "That rhymed.
But, Rae~~ you've got work. Let's go home."
