• (In order) Katie Fairfield, Cassie, & Alex Nobles •


The sound of metal clanking against metal wakes Katie up. Her eyes open slightly, her face scrunched up.

Please let me be dead. Katie thinks. Please let this either be a dream or the step before Heaven.

The other girls rise from their beds, fresh and already full of smiles. The blonde sits up, dressed in one of the uniforms the nun, Sister Sarah, had given her the night before. Her green eyes are bloodshot, puffy from crying herself to sleep.

A curvy girl with short, curly brunette hair walks in. She smiles at Katie, her fingers lancing together in front of her.

"Hello, sister!" The curvy brunette girl greets Katie cheerfully, grinning happily. "I heard you joined us last night. We're so happy to have you!"

Katie hangs her head, wanting to be left alone. The brunette girl walks over and sits down next to the blonde, causing the bed to bounce. Katie continues to remain silent.

"My name is Alexandra Nobles, but everyone just calls me Alex." The brunette continues to push Katie to interact to her, "I'm one of Sister Sarah's happy helpers. What's your name?"

"Katie...Fairfield..." The blonde sniffs as she keeps her head down.

"You seem like you could use come candy." Alex says to her with a small smile, "I'll share some of mine later if you'd like."

Katie shakes her head, her lip pouting. "I don't want candy...I don't this bed...I don't want these clothes...I just want Lane."

The blonde's face scrunches up, softly crying for what feels like the millionth time. Alex puts a hand on her shoulder.

"Whose Lane? Is he your father?" Alex talks quickly, being nosy. "Most girls who come here don't have parents...I had a mother once, I think? Whatever. Don't matter now."

"I may never see Lane again..." Katie stares off onto the abyss, her voice distant. "...and just when he first made love to me..."

"Well, I can see what kind of family you have." Alex chuckles nervously, her small button nose wrinkling. "Maybe it's a good thing that you are away from him."

"I love Lane, but I may never get the chance to tell him that." Katie begins to cry, her eyes closing. "I don't care what he's done to me! He's the only man whose done me right! I want Lane! I want Lane!"

Suddenly, Sister Sarah rushes in. She glares at the two girls. She puts her hands on her hips angrily.

"What is with all that yelling?" Sister Sarah glares at a crying Katie.

"She's an abomination, Sister Sarah." Alex smiles twistedly, "She and her father had sex and they're in love!"

Both Katie and Sister Sarah give Alex a confused, disgusted look.

"Lane's my boyfriend." Katie tells her, "He's not my father."

Alex stands up, walking to the door. "Whatever you say, Abomination."

Sister Sarah turns to Katie, her bead like eyes narrow at the blonde. She remains a Katie of a mouse. An angry mouse.

"Just because you're a disgrace to the eyes of God and you're only here temporarily until Mr. Barclay comes back, you still have to abide by our rules!" Sister Sarah barks at Katie, her voice high-pitched. "Now get up and go to the mess hall for your breakfast! Hurry now! I'm going to put you to work on our floors!"
