by InGodzHandz

14-year-old Melanie de la Muerte is the daughter of two of the Black Hat Organization's most notorious villains. She is also a member of an underground organization of ninja nuns who help people in secret. But when her secret is revealed, she is brought to Black Hat and sentenced to "re-education." How will she endure especially when Black Hat adopts her as an apprentice?

50. Chapter 50

Back in her cage, Sadie was hiding under her bed and looking at her phone, desperately trying to update her family and friends outside the view of Black Hat's video cameras.

Sadie sent quick messages to her friends and her family through her hidden app that thankfully Flug had not found. She sat there in anticipation as she got and gave out all the information she could before she knew she would have to cut off contact again.

There was not much Sadie could do from behind the walls of her cage besides her little update. However, there was one request she thought she could fulfill.

Her parents said in their messages that they wished they could hear her voice just to know for sure that she was okay, so Sadie did just that.

Sadie turned on the invisible app's video recording option, held the phone up to herself, and began singing, "Morning has broken like the first morning. Blackbird has spoken like the first bird. Praise for the singing, praise for the morning. Praise for them singing fresh from the world!"

Just then, 505 came into the room. He heard the singing and crept over to where he could see Sadie humming the instrumental part and hiding under her bed from the other side of the wall.

"Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from Heaven, like the first dewfall on the first grass," sang Sadie. "Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, sprung in completeness where His feet pass!"

Sadie hummed the instrumental part and looked around moved the phone to look around the room. She spotted 505 behind her and turned around startled.

505 moved back, startled only for a moment, before moving back close to the wall again and smiling as he nodded his head to the music again.

After a moment's pause, Sadie started singing again, "Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning! Born of the one light, Eden saw play! Praise with elation! Praise every morning! God's recreation of the new day!"

505 bounced his head to the rhythm of Sadie's humming. Very quickly, Sadie found herself bouncing her head with 505's.

"Morning has broken like the first morning," sang Sadie. "Blackbird has spoken like the first bird! Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning! Praise for them springing fresh from the world!"

Sadie ended the video and held the phone against herself, wondering if 505 was going to tell on her for having something she wasn't supposed to.

Sadie looked at the phone and looked back at 505.

The bear could notice the fear in her eyes and understood it. Compassionately, 505 pointed to the phone, pointed to Sadie, and held a finger over his lips. He nodded his head to show that he agreed with this plan of secrecy.

Sadie nodded her head as well and whispered, "Thank you."

Sadie then texted her parents updates in what was happening until Flug reentered the room with Melanie.
