Sailor Christian Soldiers

Book One: Sailor Savior

Chapter Four

By Sere G

Before she left, Sailor Savior needed to do a couple of things. The first thing she did was go over to the family's computer, which was there, in the living room. Making sure the text was set on large print, so that it would be noticed quickly by them, she typed a short, to-the-point note.

'You were possessed, but have been saved by a Warrior of God.

Leave here and hide well… don't let them find you. This is your

Second, and possibly last, chance.

I wish you luck.'

Once she had finished the note, she detransformed so that she was Rah'eesa again. Next, she headed to the closet and rifled through the stuff hanging up until she found a hooded jacket, obviously belonging to the mother of the house. As she slipped it on, she felt pain in her lower back, where she'd earlier felt those three needle-pinpricks.

Frowning, she made her way over to a mirror and lifted the back of her shirt and jacket, peering at where the pain was coming from. Within maybe a two inch space, there was what looked a tattoo… a tattoo of her veins, placed over a couple of her real veins.

She frowned, looking at the vein-marks, then at Rael, who, from her feet, was looking up at Rah'eesa. "What are these, Rael?"

Rael looked at the marks. "They're the price of your calling, Rah'eesa."

"What do you mean?"

"As you know, Rah'eesa, our lord Jesus Christ went through suffering so that our souls could be saved. And also, as you know, your power comes from him. And so, every time you use your Wand of Salvation to save someone, you pay a price… for each person you save, that mark will get slightly bigger."

"Well, they hurt."

"But of course. If they were painless, they would cause no suffering. But look at it this way, Rah'eesa… it's a small price you pay, to be able to save these people…"

Rah'eesa sighed, lowering the back of her shirt once more. "Yeah, I guess… come on."

When she left the house, the sun had set, luckily… less people would notice Rah'eesa. She stopped by her house to get her tin chest, and found a knapsack within the rubble to carry it in.

As she loaded the chest into the sack, she spoke to Rael. "What now? I can't stay here, obviously…"

The cat nodded. "Yes, obviously. Now we must find your two allies."

Rah'eesa nodded slightly. "Yeah… I think I remember God mentioning two other maidens, or something. Where do we find them?"

Rael cocked her head. "You mean you can't feel it?"

"Huh?"

"You should be able to feel where you are to go…"

Now that Rael mentioned it, Rah'eesa could sorta feel something. A sort of… tugging… beneath her belly button, telling her which way to go. She nodded. "Yeah, I can feel it. Let's go."

And so… the lone girl and her cat simply started walking… for there was little else which she could do…

END

QS: Yep, you heard right. End. As in, this is the end of this book… The sequel, when I write it, will be called "Sailor Christian Soldiers Book Two: Sailor Eden". First, though, I gotta get the stupid thing figured out… I have the character figured out, and her background, but not a lot on the plot for that one. After that will come the 3rd book… obviously, the name of the third soldier will be in the title. Any of you wanna guess her name? I'll be surprised if you can. Sailor T.
