As the priest left the room,Y/N looked down in disbelief at his freak out while the nun held her throat in pain.
"Why do you always have to ruin everythin'?! why won't you just leave?!" the sister yelled with a raspy voice "You're Satan! You're a mean evil bitch! Just go! Don't you see how negative your energy can be?! Leave!" she dropped to her knees and started to clean
Y/N stared into the ground,dropping the broom once again as she mentally cursed herself.And what made her more upset was that the sister was right...she could spend another 100 years in this church and she'd still be Satan's puppet.
It took her a moment but she joined the sister in the clean up.She started by picking up all the toys and placing them back in their ripped,dusty boxes while the sister put up all the bins on the shelf.Y/N kept looking over at the clock,sighing that the passed two minutes felt like hours.It was killing her inside to replay Pearl's pained and frustrated voice on the call,wishing she could be there to offer a hug,a word,a smile,a kiss.....on the forehead.
What was killing her more was knowing that the clean up would take a while,that she lied to Pearl about her arrival time...she just imagined the poor girl standing there with a smile infront of her house,waiting for Y/N to show up and she probably won't...
As she sighed,the sister turned to her "What? tired already? did the devil drain you?"
Y/N glared at her,wanting to say so little and act on so much more.The only thing that kept her going were the thoughts of how the situation would have ended if that vase never broke,if the priest never came in....and if she had killed the nun. "I guess...who wouldn't drain themselves if they had to be stuck in a room with you?"
"Would you stop bein' so mean..?!"
"Would you stop bein' so damn loud?! It's bad enough we have to clean this one room!"
"Jesus Christ! I wonder who's fault that could be!!!"
"Yours!! You're worse than these donated toys! They'd actually stop if you took out their batteries,unlike you! Stop naggin' me and get to work for fuck's sake! I know you haven't cleaned a day in your life but suck it up!" Y/N sighed deeply in exhaustion "I need to use the bathroom" she walked out and dragged herself across the church hall,walking into the bathroom as she saw herself in the mirror.Oh how she hated what she saw,hated how she nearly relapsed.Y/N had been careful with the behaviour she surrounded herself with..she kept away from anyone who mirrored the person she used to be....she just never expected it to be a damn nun.
She washed her hands along with her face,avoiding eye-contact with the portal supported by a nail.Y/N leaned against the sink,resting her hands on it as cold water drops fell from her face.Eventually she gathered her thoughts and walked out back into the hall,instantly looking up at the clock.Too much time had passed not in her favor as she glanced at the sister's poor attempt at cleaning in frustration.It took very little thinking for what she planned to do
"Fuck it."
