11 Hideous Scars

Sister Leia sat in the dark room focused on the videos playing in front of her. She was the one controlling the cubes. She had a stern face that showed no kind of emotion. This was what made Sister Liz trust in Sister Leia. She was young but she knows what she's doing.

Sister Leia came from a family of magi but she chose not be one, instead she wanted to become someone completely opposite from her family's belief. It was a personal matter so Sister Liz never bothered her about it. She accepted Sister Leia and she doesn't regret her decision.

Sister Leia looked at the people in the cubes helpless faces so she decided to put it to a halt first. The people in the cube fell on the floor and they felt the bones in their bodies crack one more time. The worst is they're not dying but they are feeling the pain.

"Guard the doors for now. Make sure no one enters except me and Sister Liz."

"Understood." the leader of the hooded men answered.

She went into her room and checked the time. '3 am' Sister Leia gave out a soft sigh. She removed her clothes and went for a shower. She has milky white beautiful skin but behind her clothes were hideous scars only she knows where it came from. Quickly finishing her bath, she slept the night out.

---------------------

The next morning Sister Leia reported what had happened the night before. Sister Liz knows how Sister Leia works so she didn't really mind about it.

"Thank you Sister Leia for your hard work." she smiled at her and continued

"When in the future something happens to me, I'm expecting you to become the next head. You should promise me this." Sister Liz spoke smiling but with a tone of seriousness in it.

Sister Leia was taken aback with what Sister Liz had said. Sister Liz was known as someone strong and smart. A lot of people had tried to stab her from behind but none of them ended victorious. It was as if Sister Liz was hinting her that something big would soon happen. Was it just her or something really is amiss here. She didn't linger on the thought any longer but she kept in mind to start being careful this time around.

"Nothing will happen to you and I'll make sure about that." Sister Leia assured.

Sister Liz gave out a gentle laugh. Sister Leia was young and firm. She has an aura that when she says something she would definitely stand up to it even with her life on the line.

"By the way, the Stedore's called and requested if they could pick up Sera tomorrow already. They were hoping to bring her to one of the events they're going to attend soon." Sister Leia continued.

This changed Sister Liz's expression. She turned sad but shifted to her normal expression in the next second.

"Okay then, the adoption had been approved already so I think I don't have any say in this matter anymore." she responded.

"Please call Sera here. I wan to talk to her. Also prepare a grand dinner later for the children." she continued.

"Yes, I will." Sister Leia answered as she stood up and walked of the door.

'She really loved Sera. I wonder why she agreed for her to be adopted' she thought as she walked away from the head's office.

-----------------------

Soon Sera came knocking on the head's office door.

"Come in Sera, I've been waiting for you." Sister Liz opened the door smiling.

Sera smiled back at her. They both sat on the sofa and became silent for a few minutes. Then they looked at each other the same time and soon they started laughing.

"I will miss you old sis." Sera was the first to break the ice.

"I will miss you more than you know." Sister Liz said blissfully.

"The Stedore's called today and they were asking if they could pick you up tomorrow already. I agreed since it was them who requested. Was that fine?" Sister Liz asked.

"Yes old sis." Sera answered.

"So what would you want to do today then?"

"Nothing, maybe I could help you with your work since this might be the last." Sera said.

"You silly child, you have to come here once in a while to help me, okay?" Sister Liz said jokingly.

"I will try old sis."

"Okay then let's go play with the children then. That's my work for today." Sister Liz added.

-------------------------

After Sister Leia finished all the preparations, she went back to the black room and checked on the people in there.

She sat on the chair behind the desk she had set up there since she know she'd be coming back there for a while. The people in the cubes weren't looking good. Their faces had aged a lot compared to when they first entered the black room. They were such in a pitiful state at the moment. Nevertheless, the punishment needs to continue.

Inside the cubes the prideful Father Sev had turned into a very undesirable state. He no longer had the authoritative aura he always had. The same goes with the others. They were lying weakly onto the cubes. Just then,

"Level 3 – Gluttony." The automated voice came to life. "You reap what you sow."
