Velvet was dragged by the wrist to a glass door located at the left corner of the church's lobby. A 'staff only' sign hung above the glass. It lead to a carpeted corridor with wooden doors. It had a spiral staircase made out of cobblestone at the other end of the corridor, leading up to the second floor of the building and to the building's basement. The corridor was illuminated by fluorescent office lights and felt oddly eerie for a religious building. Velvet could vaguely hear the sermon's opening choir as the Mother Superior hastily dragged Velvet across the corridor.
The Mother Superior was busy dragging Velvet up the stairs and didn't notice her sneakily setting up a white voice recorder in her pocket. Recording audios to use as some form of blackmail or evidence was a habit she developed during her childhood. Of course, if she does use it as a form of blackmail, she'll use a fake identity to prevent it being traced back to her that easily.
The second floor was similar to the corridor, but had a large area in the middle where people can peer down on the long rows of churchgoers below. Opposite from the staircase was a balcony filled with choir members awaiting their next cue. Upon seeing Velvet, the choir members shifted uncomfortably from their podium and tried to look away from her glare.
Velvet peered down and easily spotted Arianah in the row reserved for Sister Apprentices, girls that would be given an apprenticeship to become one of the Tenacity Sisters. You had to be liked by both the Celestial Priestess and the Mother Superior to be given one. As if she felt someone staring at her, Arianah looked up and her blue eyes were met with Velvet's unamused black eyes.
The Mother Superior dragged Velvet to the fourth door to the right and opened it. She then harshly shoved Velvet in. "In you go, you bothersome child. I have a lot to discuss with you." The Mother Superior said with authority in her tone. Velvet rolled her eyes as she readjusted her glasses.
The room had an oak desk with a larger chair at one end and a smaller chair at the other. The desk had a small potted snake plant. Behind the larger chair was a bookshelf filled with religious books and trinkets and portraits. A space in the middle of the bookshelf was reserved for a painting of Oswald peering down at the table. A large dark green carpet laid in the middle of the room.
The Mother Superior took a seat at the larger chair while Velvet sat at the other one. The Mother Superior leaned against the chair and crossed her arms before letting out a sigh. "Velvet Acrimony, the bane of my existence. You have yet to do an action that is acceptable or pleasing to me, but this should be expected since I don't expect a sinful being such as yourself to be sensible."
Velvet crossed her legs and propped her elbow against her lap. She leaned forwards and rested her head on her hand. "What is it this time, oh dear Mother Superior? Did I walk the wrong way on the wrong day? Did I wear black clothes on the wrong day again? Or do you just feel like bullying me again for no reason?" She replied with a mocking tone.
"I am not merely bullying you or scolding you, child. I am merely discussing an issue that has recently risen due to your wrongdoings." The Mother Superior said, her tone carrying authority and elegance. "I'm sure you're well aware of your actions."
Velvet rolled her eyes. "Well, can you be more specific? With how often you accuse me of doing sinful actions for something so petty, I'm starting to believe that you just want a reason to bully me again."
"Do not play unintelligent with me, child." The Mother Superior opened a drawer and took out the mask Velvet left. "You and your energy has lead evil into these sacred grounds and have doomed us all." She said as she threw the mask onto her desk. "This item here has been found in the garden shed. The similarities between this and the evil spirits of our scripture is clear proof that you have doomed us all. This is a sign from our dear Oswald that you are bringing us down."
