Hana
Before the neighboring rooster could annoyingly crow, Hana was already awakened. She did not need to wake that early anymore, but her body was used to it that even her softened bed could not prolong her rest.
As she stood, even the little pup, Boy, who was curled like a yarn beside her, complained that it was too early to start the day. But she still continued on, and only gave the pet a pat.
Edith Edith had no memories other than the convent, but the farm. Not the farm where Hana was living now, but the far away farm where she fed herself by stealing young cabbages. To her mind, it was her first home and the farmer and his wife were her parents. And that they gave her away to the sisters.
GabrielSome of the knights were called for a conclave, and that included Gabriel. Gabriel was still in shock after what Mathilda did to him at the stairs of the service hall. His legs were still wobbly, making him slow as he took his every step to the prayer hall.
Gabriel said no. I watched him go to the opposite direction of my path. His back was arched unlike his usual unswerving posture and his breating was deep. Gabriel continued on until he became a blur of black in my eyes, and I did not stop him. “What is his problem?”
I watched Sir Felix like a hawk. I had no firm proof with my assumption about him. My words that I had seen him with two different sisters on different places, and that he was holding the other one vulgarly was not enough. What if that was just a coincidence? What if the sisters go against my words especially that they looked beguiled by him?
For the past days I had been watching Sir Felix closely. So far, he only had three preys that I had known of. The first one was Sister Ana. She was an obvious target for she was beautiful. She had an ivory skin that matched with her apple-like red lips. And what made her stand out more was the matured curves of her body that her habit could not hide.
We did not talk about Sir Felix and our plan against him while we were still in the mess hall. We could not risk it, for there were too many eyes and too many ears. “Is it okay if I join you?”
TinaThe girl was looking at her own reflection in a mirror that was older than her. She was not wearing any clothes on, and the only thing that she had was the crooked glasses she owned. She was smiling. And her fingers were exploring her unshut lips. In her mind was her darling moments with Sir Felix in the library.
No one wanted to sleep alone in their own quarters. Earlier, all of the girls just started entering my room with their own pillows and blankets, and then they looked for their own spot on my dense room. Agnes and Fatma were on the floor, while Abigail and Edith were on the bed with me. There was not enough room on the bed, so I only half laid with pillows on my back. Each of the girls were now looking for a comfortable sleeping position.
