Turning Saints To Sinners

Chapter 48: Finding Zelda

Mary called out for Adam. He entered the room slowly, watching her. 

"Adam...I want you. I...this...she is wrong for me. I was manipulated by her. I see that now." Adam smiled, walking over to the bed. He sat down on the edge, watching Mary. 
"Maybe...we could start over? I'll go to church. Cleanse myself of my sins." Adam nodded. 

"You made the right decision." He leaned down to kiss her and Mary had to fight the urge to spit in his face. She let his rough lips press against hers. His hands traveled up her nightgown again. 

"Uncuff me." Adam hesitated. "It's uncomfortable." 

"How do I know you won't run away?" Mary pushed her legs apart. Adam smiled down at her exposed skin. She knew Adam had tore off her panties and she was bare underneath the nightgown. 

Adam slowly reached up, uncuffing her  Mary gasped as her wrist was released. Adam's hand went between her legs. Mary reached her foot up and kicked him hard off of her. He fell to the ground. Mary got up to rush out of the room when his hand grabbed her nightgown. It tore, thankfully, and Mary ran out of room. It was extremely dark and her bare feet slipped against the marble floor. She came to a large stature of a goat. 
The Academy. I'm in the Academy. 

Mary ran down a hall filled with rooms. She opened one and closed the door firmly. A crescent shape made of beds was in the middle of the room. Thirteen girls stared at her. 

"Shh. Please be quiet. Don't tell him I'm here." Mary crawled under a bed, praying the girls wouldn't tell on her. 

Adam stormed down the hall in a fit of rage. "Where are you, Mary! I'm going to find you!" 

She heard doors slamming. She wanted to scream but she held her hands over her mouth. 

He got to the room she was in and kicked the door open, "Where the fuck are you!?" 

"Who the fuck are you?" Prudence raised a brow at him. 

"Get out, perv!" Dorcas threw one of her pillows at him. Adam left, Mary could still hear him yelling down the hall. She crawled out from under the bed, thanking the girls. 

"Who are you?" Prudence asked. 

"Mary." 

"Duh...are you...mortal?" Mary nodded. 

All thirteen girls stared at each other. 
"Well, maybe we should call your little friend back in here." 

Mary shook her head. "Please don't. I'm...you must know Zelda Spellman? I'm her girlfriend. That man..he is my ex-husband. Him and Faustus Blackwood are trying to kill Zelda. I need your help to find her." She could see Prudence soften. 

"I'm Prudence. These are my sisters, Agatha and Dorcas. We'll help you. Do you know where Ms. Spellman is?" Mary shook her head. 

"No but...something happened early while Adam had me in one of the rooms. I could hear her. Talking to me." Dorcas awwwed. Agatha glared at her. 

"What? True love." 

"What?" 

Prudence sat up, "That only happens with true love. That is sweet. Anyways, we'll contact her family. Agatha can bring you to the witches cell for safely." 

"I need to help you find her. Please. I need to." Prudence hesitated but nodded. 

"Then you'll be our bait." Mary furrowed her brows. 

-

Zelda gasped for air. Faustus sat in his chair, taking about some plans he had for the church and coven. 
Every once in awhile he would say 'under' or 'lift' in the middle of his sentences. 

Zelda cried out for Mary and Faustus yelled back, "Under!" 

-

Mary stood at the end of the hall, shaking. She looked back at the three girls. Prudence gave her a thumbs up. 

"Adam!" She heard footsteps running up the hall, then he turned the corner. 

"Mary...I knew you couldn't hide forever." He walked closer to her. She grew extremely nervous watching him. When he got ten steps or so away from her, the three girls stepped beside her. Mary watched their eyes turn white and their faces turn demonic. They threw their hands up, sending Adam flying through the air and onto a large spear. Mary wanted to throw up watching the blood shoot out from his stomach. He howled in pain. She had to turn her head away from him. 

"Come, Mary. We must get to the Spellmans." The three grabbed her and all of a sudden she felt as if she was being whipped through the air. She 'landed' at the Spellman home and that was enough to do it to her. She threw up all the contents of her stomach. Prudence groaned and started up the path. Agatha made a handkerchief appear in her hand and handed it to Mary. 

"Thank you." Mary wiped her mouth, throwing the cloth onto the ground. 

-

They told the Spellmans and Mary was shocked at how quick they moved. They talked fast among themselves. It was like watching soldiers gear up for battle. 

Soon they were leaving the Spellman residence. Hilda turned to her and said, "You need to find her." 

"Why me?" 

"Because you can reach out to her." Mary grew nervous, stepping closer to Hilda. 

"What if I can't do it again?" 

Hilda rested a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I believe in you. Zelda believes in you. We all believe in you." Mary took in a deep breath. 

Mary laid down on the gravel road, taking in a deep breath. 

She reached out as best she could for Zelda. Searching for her and calling out. 

After a few moments, she felt her. 

Zelda? 

Mary? Mary! Are you okay? 

Yes. I'm here with your family and three girls from the Academy. We are coming to find you. 
Where are you? 

I don't know. 

Where do you think you are? 

I'm not sure. It's dark and there are water tanks. 

Zelda, I know where you are. Sit still. Wait for us. 

Okay - aaaaah!

Zelda! 

Mary shot up. "I found her."  

The end part reminded me of Stranger Things lol. Anyways, they are going to rescue Zelda yaya!!!
