Have you ever wondered what it feels like, being unwanted by your own parents?
If you are reading this, and you aren't left in the doorstep of an orphanage, then lucky you.
It was an unusual day in summertime for the clouds were black, it was raining so hard which is — uncanny.
Sister Riona went out of bed to have her morning coffee. On her way to the kitchen she heard knocks coming from the front door.
She took a deep breath and walked to the front door. She twisted the doorknob,"Good morn—" she didn't had the chance to finish her statement for no one was there, except for a basket — in the basket lies a beautiful baby girl, sister Riona took the basket from the floor and was about to take the baby inside with her when another nun suddenly showed up.
Sister Riona was fogged with confusion when she saw the other nun. She haven't seen her before
'Is she new?'
She asked herself.
"I'll take the baby inside," the nun spoke and took the basket from her hands.
"I'm sorry but, are you new here sister?" Sister Riona asked the nun whose now smiling at her.
"I am, Odia. I'm a stavrophore, you?"
"Oh I'm a Rassophore."
Odia smiled as a repsond and spoke, "I'll take care of the baby, go along and have your breakfast."
Riona nodded and oblige, still confused about how did a random nun appeared on Saint Louis' orphanage.
Sister Riona watched Sister Odia walk to the hall. Her attention was caught when a man's voice, he whispered, "look at me."
"look at me Riona."
Unknowingly she turned her gaze to the trees meters away, beside the tree is a man wearing a black cloak.
Curious who that man is she stared at him from a far, a loud noise banged at her eardrums.
Her attention was caught up by the noise that when she turned back to the man in black. He is — gone.
Sister Riona took a deep breath and told herself that maybe, just maybe she is hallucinating.
After that, she had her breakfast still the man in black lingers in her mind along with the new nun.
"Sisters!!" Reina screamed loud to wake up the other nuns for she found something — something that is completely extraordinary.
Her eyes are watering as she waits for the nuns to arrive.
Her hands are cold and are shaking.
'How is this even possible?'
She asked herself.
Reina is a 12 year old girl, left in the orphanage, her parents died because of an earthquake.
Two nuns arrived and they as well got shocked.
Sister Riona committed — suicide.
What a terrible sin.
Sister Riona's face is covered by a black cloak.
Her body is hanging and her neck is entangled with a rope.
Tears came streaming from the nuns, the other orphans awoke because of the screams and the sobs they've heard.
"What's happening?" Reagan asked Raine.
"A nun committed suicide," she whispered to Reagan's ear.
Years have passed and the room was never occupied. It was left there — empty.
As for the baby, that the late sister Riona have found outside the doorsteps grew up to be a beauty young girl named — Rose.
"Reagan, how old are you?" Rose asked Reagan whose eating her midnight snack.
"I'm 10 little lady, how 'bout you?"
Rose played with her dress upon answering.
"I'm five."
Reagan smiled as a response and said,
"Would you like to go somewhere fun?" Reagan asked the little girl who seems to be unable of falling asleep.
"Where are we going?" Rose asked.
"To Sister Riona's room," Reagan answered and went out bed.
"So, are you ready?" Reagan added and offered her hand to Rose.
A smile painted on Rose's lips when she knew that they are going out.
They walked out the room and Reagan mouthed, 'Don't make a noise'
Rose nodded as a response and the two tip toed to the room.
"Are we there yet?" the young Rose asked in a low voice.
Reagan shook her head and gave Rose a sign to stay quiet.
They arrived on Sister Riona's room and the light of tonight's moon gave light on the room.
"What the fuck," Reagan said for what she saw gave her chills.
Sister Riona's body — hanging.
"What is wrong Reagan?" Rose asked, she who doesn't see the body of the late nun.
Reagan fell into a sort of trance, the man — the man in black was in the room.
"Rose close your eyes, close them."
Rose followed what Reagan said, she closed her eyes as she embrace herself.
"Don't open them unless I told you so,okay?"
Rose nod as a response, it was a long silence, she can't take it anymore, she opened her eyes and, she is infront of her bed.
She looked around her and, no one, no one was there,she can't find her other siblings, so as she can't find — Reagan.
Scared she went back to bed and covered herself with a blanket and she fell asleep.
Morning then came, there are still no signs of Reagan, she is gone. she is nowhere to be found.
"Where is Reagan?" one of the nuns asked us.
We all answered with 'we don't know.'
Rose, doesn't know where is she. Doesn't have a clue either.
Though there is one thing she is certain.
The man in black is behind the disappearance of Reagan.
"You killed me!" Reagan screamed.
Rose awoke because of another nightmare.
She is bathing with her own sweat again.
Rose went out of bed to fetch a towel and clean herself and went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water.
Before she goes back to bed,she took the notebook above her study table.
She opened it,and wrote on an empty page.
"Reagan disappeared, her body— was never found."
