Chapter 8- Darkness

The frost season already started and just like the heavy weather, the atmosphere at the La Papillonne is dread. The memories of death lingered through the minds of the orphans and cause solemn fear to everyone including Elise.

Elise did not sleep and keep awake until morning. Beth who is quiet now with tears in her eyes didn't move because of the shock. Elise hardly gets her grief together and started to move to change clothes disposing of her plain pajama.

The whole estate is quiet. The fear and terror didn't leave their minds. The unknown people who trespassed the estate still in the vicinity of the orphanage guarding the whole place. Elise still doesn't know the situation. A few days ago, Alicia went to the Forbe estate then the orphanage got attacked by unknown men.

"Go to the hall! All of you!"

A sudden shout and knocked at the door made Elise jump in. She put her guard and decided to help Beth that still not in herself.

"You better brace yourself, Beth, we still in danger. Change your clothes and let's go outside."

They walk out the door of their room and go to the hall with the remaining children. The orphans are scared and obediently sitting on the ground. Beth and Elise followed the line and sit quietly.

"It's still morning and all of you stinks. I hate doing this job."

The man Elise saw last night commented with disgust after eyeing them. Elise feels hatred toward the bastard. She is frustrated and helpless. How can she live now? She wanted to blame the book or the author for making this kind of story.

"I will divide you per age. Do not sneak out, do not ask for help, do not asaskuestions, and just follow orders. You orphan ss me. Why does the reader say that a low will get divine power? Tsk"

Elise heard the man keep blabbing about readers and divine power. Isn't it about the Saint? She listened carefully. She quickly analyzes the situation and got a conclusion. Alicia after celebrating her thirteen birthday got adopted and leave the estate as soon as possible. Alicia also mentioned her awakening. Alicia, who thought she was awakened as a magician leave the place to study at the academy. Then later the night some unknown men attacked them and killed the children age fifteen which was in the original story, the book said that Alicia will become the Saintes after fighting the attackers on her fifteen years of age.

The book never mentioned the readers but it did make sense now. How do the people assume Alicia to be the next Saint if no one predicted it?

Magician? the Church? Elise is thinking too deep that she didn't pay attention to her surroundings. The children are moving already to the designated group leaving them behind.

"Hey, bitch move!"

Beth startles at the voice of the man after seeing the annoying glare, the stare goes to Elise. He pointed out Elise to be in the last group and order her to move with them.

Elise didn't know what will happen to them. There are ten children with age twelve to thirteen that are walking in a dark alley. Elise didn't know that this place exists at the orphanage. it's like a secret passage and to some point, Elise is so nervous. She never says it but her whole body is trembling dramatically.

They finally arrive at the dark alley. The light spread to Elise's eyes and her face scream in panic. A prison...

There are twenty prisoners in the dark alley. Elise who is in her poker face blink many times and her heart continues to beat vigorously.

"Welcome to your new rooms!"

A terrible laugh echo at the place of endless darkness. Elise wanted to run away and leave the place faster. She is never frightened all her life even after waking up in the new world but now. She will die. All her instincts scream how dangerous her situation but Elise didn't say anything. Her voice is paralyzed just like her body. After a moment, Elise is thrown inside the prison cell. Elise heard the plead of the children and beg for mercy.

"Please sir, I will do anything... just please don't leave me here"

An orphan tried to beg the man to spare her life and planned to escape but it's all futile. Elise witness magic and suddenly the body of the girl lift into the air and explode. The blood splash at the ground and a true sound of the lifeless body of the girl cruelly drop in the ground.

"Fuck! I got stink"

Elise trembles in her prison cell. She wanted to vomit. Her eyes witness how the body of a girl blowing up and she is dizzy at the scene. after a while, Elise in distress burst into tears.

"What the hell is this?"

Elise is scared and desperate, she witnesses a gruesome murder and cried miserably.

"I don't want to be here. .."

A true sound of the door echoes the place and the darkness reigned in the entire surroundings. Loud cries from the children's misfortune would be heard at the fearsome cold prison.

Elise fainted afterward.
