"What happened, my dearest follower?" i sobbed more as i heard the sound of the mysterious priest.

"Don't tell anyone, please." i begged, tears strolling down my cheeks. "Talk to me as if i was your lord; and it will stay between you and the father." My breath shaked, i grabbed the shark tooth as i surrendered it. "What about this tooth?"

"Ive killed somebody with this tooth." The priest stayed silent. "He was forcing me to the wall and touching me inappropietly- it was raining. I doubt anyone would hear my call for help. I had no other defense that that. He followed me from the red light district." I explained, stuttering and scared.

"Father?" He was silent, as i heard the other side of the door unlock, a man in church clothing, walking towards me. It was the saint. Saint malthus.

"I'll pray for you as you should pray for yourself too." He said, as i walk outside, trembling as i got down on my knees, begging for forgiveness. "What shall i do? I didn't mean it."

"If you didn't mean it then you shouldn't have done it." My heart burned, "But, Our father forgives." He looked down at me, taking a rosary out of his pocket. "Take my hand and i shall lead you to god and forgiveness." He reached out for me, with the rosary in hand.

I immidietly gave in, as i stood up, wiping the tears off my face. "Pray, for forgiveness. Then learn how to forgive yourself."

and that, he never promised to never tell anyone. That morning, Theodorre was found dead within the streets with no proof of family or evidences found of his murder.

i lived in guilt. After that incident, i prayed every morning to night. Id go attend a mass by 3 in the afternoon, my duty was to be forgiven for what i had done.

i was scared and anxious. I entered the church as i saw Malthus; looking at me nervously and a bit guilty. Did he tell them? Every other sakristan and sisters were staring at me too.

i kneeled down infront of the chairs, praying my rosaries and personal prayers, speaking to god. Maybe it all happened for a reason? Or was it temptation?

Everything happens for a reason. Just in two days, Theodorre Salvatore, an unknown man from italy was recieving a charity funeral this sunday.

all i knew was that i was sorry, and scared. I looked up upon the altar of the church, Saint malthus; holding the shark tooth with holy water in his hand. Did he tell everyone what happened to that shark tooth? Will i be sent to prison?

i left the church early, not wearing my usual summer clothes as i came by my home, hiding from the world as usual. I threw away the card Theodorre gave me. Was it my fault he didnt get to live?

a second date?

I heard sounds of police cars dropping by the building of my apartment, hearing them talking to the lobby workers, "Dianne Ivory,"
