Chapter 6: I'll never leave you...

AUTHORS POV

Towel under your arm, your new sleep wear in your other hand, and your church robe about to be thrown away since you were certain you'd never wear it again.

Through the lantern lit halls, you made your way to the showers; the sound of distant laughing echoing through your mind like the demons which were trying to spring fear into your heart.

"You're weak."

They say...

"Are you sure you're supposed to be here?"

They say...

"Why can't you just...run away..."

You hiss at their words, the evil words of doubt and worry and shame... however, your Master's voice always comes out louder than them all.

"Continue this journey, child. For I know the plans I have fo you. You need not fear, for have I not promised you that I would always be with you?
  You say it yourself, my child...
'Whatever happens, I know He will be with me and make it fit for His plans for my life. No matter if the situation is negative and hard to bear, or if it is easy to flow with.'

That voice, full of the sweetest love and care, brought about a feeling of His hand on your shoulder, letting you know that He was closer than your fingers when placed on your bruised eye.

"Tsss!" You jolted at the pain upon touching your injury.

This wasn't your first time having such an injury, counting all the times you preached about God to others and how the truth confused the people to the point where they'd get mad and attack you... it wasn't something rare.

Although, sometimes the attacks would be worse and sometimes they'd be a simple action of the lost soul shrugging you off and ignoring what you would say.

However, it's just as the Lord says:

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.  Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 

John 15:18-21

And you couldn't help but think...just how grateful, though it hurts, just how GRATEFUL you were...to be hated for such a great cause.

Though others wouldn't be able to understand...you did, the Father did, and those who listened did... that's all that mattered...

"H-Hey...you're that girl!"

You stopped in front of the girls showers and turned to look a the people behind you.

In an instant, the blond boy jumped at the sight of your black eye and the boy with brown hair and a grin stared with wonder.

You opened your mouth to speak, but suddenly you felt a cold...COLD presence.

A pale hand dropped down on the excited boy's shoulder, causing him to have a look of disgust and annoyance.

"Eren, don't bother her-"

"Get off me, Mikasa!"

You stepped back upon looking at where the hand came from, a girl with black raven hair.
