After I walked away the last thing I wanted to do was go back into that room but I continued walking forward. I glanced over my shoulder and once Copia was gone I kept going down the hall. Being quick as I would occasionally glance over my shoulder just to be sure no one was coming, the last thing I needed was to be stopped and asked where I was going for Copia to find out I had greatly disobeyed him. The chaos as I walked down the stairs was enough for me to sneak out and get some time for myself, especially after seeing that mess and all because of Copia. How could he volunteer me for such a thing? To set me up for a task I was not worthy enough to follow through with. I held my Gruicifx close to my chest as I walked through the heavy doors, keeping my head down as I start walking back to the monastery. Once I was far enough away I remove my habit as I start to walk towards the garden of remembrance. Such a beautiful place built around sorrow, the flower grow to carry on there sprit. So many worthy lives now gone.. I thought to myself, I did not know Papa I personally however Papa II I did, I would actually go as far as to say we had quite the special bond. I already knew who was to blame that was quite clear..but why was the Third spared to only suffer such a fate? To be left to sit and waste away no longer even having his own identity at all. To think about it made me sick to my very core. As I sit down at the bench my thumb brushed over the cold surface of the Gruicifx. I felt so lost, the gathering of the storm clouds in the sky matched my soul at that moment. "Our father who art in hell.." I began as my head lowered. "Show me the way that I have seemed to lose..show me what I need to do to feel fulfilled as once before. I feel I have lost my way and the Cardinal is untrue. Please show us the way..I'm in great times of desperation..and much uncertainty.." I could feel the hot tears roll down my cheek as I closed my eyes tight. Just wanting it to all go away. Even in these times of desperation it had me questioning my own faith, did these times come to test us? Or perhaps show that we were alone. "The Cardinal is untrue..." He says in a low but smooth tone that gave me chills. "Cardinal I...-" I started to which he only put his hand up. "You spoke it therefore it must be true..as thou must bare no false witness to the unholy father." He said as he waved his cane at me. "We will get to that subject on a different time but Sister I must say I am very disappointed in you.." He began to walk up to me, a grin formed on his lips. His tone staying low as our eyes met. "You were instructed to go back..and yet here you are..I can't think of any reason for you to disobey nor do I want to hear it." He starts to get a harsh tone to his voice as he tightens his grip on my face, causing my heart to nearly beat out of my chest as I looked into his emerald eyes, they took on a predatorial gaze now. "You are getting way to out of hand sister...and that is something I will not tolerate is that clear." I gave a nod and tried to say something, only for him to tighten his grip on me. "Today we are trying a new approach to things...no just words actions and actions only..but what to do with this sister?" He began to get far more sinister, the look in his face taking on something completely new. I wanted to look away but I couldn't, everyone was used to the odd side, the goofy side of the Cardinal and this...was a whole other level as his eyes narrowed and jaw clenched. I could see the gears turning in his head. "Bend over that bench.." My eyes just widened with disbelief. "W-What? Cardinal..no this is far indecent." "Much like your behavior.." He said with a low tone. "Now if I have to repeat myself this will be highly unpleasant for you.." I had that urge to say something smart but in that moment I had enough sense to not say a word. With a trembling body and regret and fear pooling in my stomach I began to drag myself over to the bench, my stomach now in knots as I slowly start to get on my knees. "Look at that..you can be a good girl, just a little too late for that." My heart was in my throat as I looked at the flowers in front of me, not daring to look behind me. As I felt my dress start to go up my breathing caught in my throat as I felt the fabric slide up. As soon as the cold cane pressed against my skin I let out a gasp as my back arches just slightly. "Oh you won't be enjoying this when I'm done.." I felt the cane run over my ass once more and in the sickest way I was starting to get some enjoyment out of it, the tip of his cane hooked on to my panties causing me to gasp as the cold air hit me. At this point I was digging into my hand, I slightly moved my hips which was a bad move on my part. I let out a yelp as soon as the cane swiftly met my bare ass. A whimper follows as he grabs me by my hair and yanks my head up to lean into my ear and whisper. "I told you once..this is not for enjoyment!" He let go of my hair and proceeded with another hit, it came hit after hit. The first few excruciating, leaving me to whimper at the fresh sting. But with each strike the pain switched over, slowly becoming a pleasure. However I had to fight it, nearly biting my lip bloody to keep the moans insides. Finally it stopped, leaving me a panting mess. "Make yourself decent and go to the chapel, I think some reflection could be good on your part and cleansing for the soul." I closed my eyes and listened long enough for the sound of the steel gate closing.
