The Dark World

The Mystery of Polly Cooper

I got up early the next morning and put my hair in a hug pony. I put on some light makeup and a light pink sweater and some darkish blue jeans and grabbed my bag and phone.

"Hey honey, your up early? Do you want me to make you some breakfast?" My mom said. I clenched my fists tightly by my sides as I dug my fingernails into my skin leaving bloody crescent marks in my skin. "No thanks I have to get to the blue and gold I'm working on a important article." I lied as I but my bottem lip. "Okay hunny have a good day at school!" She said as I ran out the front door.

I had placed the peice of paper in my bag earlier and it was probably being crushed inside my bag. I walked to school and finnaly got to the building. I walked up the steps and tried opening the door but the school was locked because it was so early. All of a sudden I saw a teacher come and I gave her a soft smile and a wave. She opened the door for me and walked away her heels klunking on the floor as she walked off in the halls. I shut the door and walked to the blue and gold and now my heels klunked as they followed me to the blue and gold.

I walked into the room and turned on the light as the heater turned on noisely. I walked in and shut the door behind me and put my bag on the desk and sat down on the wooden chair. I scooted in as I took out a loose leaf paper and a pen from my bag and the peice of paper I found in my moms purse. I turned on the old dusty computer and it warmed up with a loud noise and I searched in the browser The Sisters of Quiet Mercy. I grazed over the results and one caught my eye. GREENDALES NIGHTMARE
OPPERATION THE SISTERS OF QUIET MERCY SHUT DOWN IN GREENDALE! I clicked on the link and started to write down key notes.

Greendale has seen weird and shady, but nothing quite like this. The Sisters of Quiet Mercy opened up as a home where kids and teenagers could go if they have a bad life at home and stay as long as they want learning prayers and doing bible studies. A group of nuns opened it up claiming that they would give the children the gift of god, and that was what they were meant to do. But soon the Sisters grew hungry for more then just that. When a inspector came to the Sisters for a routine check up he noticed something weird. He saw a nun go down into a basement which was not part of the building on his chart. He went down and saw something tragic. The Sisters had a secret operation being held where they tortured girls saying they would mold there souls by the power of god to be perfect again. But the power of god wasn't enough. One the police were called to investigate they did a whole sweep of the building and found many illegal substances of drugs in large amounts and medicine concoctions that could be extremely deadly to a patient or harmful. The Sisters of Quiet Mercy was shut down in Greendale. The Sisters weren't identified or taken into custody while they took several patients with them while some managed to escape. Today we have Anna Mangro a former patient at the sisters of quiet mercy secret operation. Today she's speaking on the subject.
"I was only 10 when I went to the sisters. Not because I had a bad life though. I had parents who wanted me to be somthing I was not. Forced me to do extra work in school, get straight A's, and if I got a B or lower my parents would ground me for weeks. I thought they were just weird at first but then one day, they dropped me off at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy. They gave me a uniform and then led me to the basement. There was many rooms and they locked from the outside, like a jail so nobody could escape at night. They would open them during the day so we can do "exercises" and medications. And if we were good we got candy. Which was some type of harsh drug making you go lucid almost. But if you disobeyed the Sisters ever, they would take you for a "punishment". Sometimes the kids that went in there never came out. I don't know exactly what happend to them and I don't think I want to know either. I always hope they escaped but I don't think that was the case I just purely was in denile. I have gotten a few punishments before but nothing that harsh, just hard manaul labor usually hauling bags of flour back in forth a dark cold room making my muscles ache for days, but I was greatful because I knew it wasent even close to some of the kids punishments and I was lucky to even survive another day. They would also skip meals if they thought you weren't progressing making kids starve and some to die. I had a few meals taken from me but not that much, but it did make me ill. Once the police came the Sisters fled trying to grab and take most of us but I managed to escape. It was like a circus in there when we were all trying to break and run free, to start fresh and be alive again. A lot didn't escape and went with the Sisters. I escaped and I went to the Fosters and Friends center in Greendale. I spent 4 years of my whole life rotting in a cell never knowing if I'd ever actually live my life again. And now I am. I just want them to be caught and shut down for good. Especially Sister Woodhouse."

Many of the patients who escaped and do not want to be identified said that they saw the sisters going into Riverdale, most likely to start where they left off in a brand new town, most likely not suspicious of what they were actually doing showing up out of the blue.

All of sudden I heard the door cream open as I jumped knocking my pen and papers off the desk. "Betty! I didn't know you would be here I'm so sorry I scared you." He said apologetically closing the door behind him. "It's okay Jug." I said smiling and fixing my hair trying to restart my heart. He had a box of computer paper in his hand and he put it down on a desk near the door. "Let me help you with that-" "Its fine I got it Jug." I said waving him off as he tried to grab for the paper as I quickly retrieved it and shoved it in my bag. Me and Jughead we're finally getting close I don't want him to know about my sister just yet and only stay friends with me because he feels bad for me. "Is that a new assighnment?" He asked. "Um well yeah but no, I'm just doing some research on a topic I found intresting." I lied biting my bottem lip nervously. He studied my face. He furrowed his eyebrows. "Mhm" he said figuring me out. "Well Mrs. Shady do you need help?" He laughed at his joke and smiled at me opening the paper and putting it into the printer. "No it's kind of, a personal thing you know?" I said. "Okay." He said putting his hands up and surrendering as I laughed.
