Page 79 of Nun’s Prayer

“Sinner!” Benjamin roared.

I took off in a staggering run. It was late afternoon, and I could see around me. We were in a field tucked behind some trees. A road was present to my left, while a house stood in the distance. Praying it was the right decision, I headed for it.

“Bitch! Sinner! Come back here!” Benjamin bellowed. Not a chance in hell. If my feet hadn’t been injured, I could have outstripped him. But instead, I was slower than usual. However, Benjamin’s weight worked against him.

We ran roughly at the same pace, and I had a head start. The house got closer, and my breath came in pants, but if I didn’t make it, then he’d take me back.

“Help!” I screamed as I closed in on it. I prayed someone was home, and that I hadn’t condemned myself.

“Help me!” I shrieked as Benjamin roared threats. Glancing behind me, I saw he was nearer and forced myself to run faster. I wailed in agony as my poor feet took even more torture.

“The house! Help!” I yelled as I shoved the gate open. The door opened, and I almost collapsed as a middle-aged lady appeared. She looked horrified, as she should, and then moved backwards. I raced forward as someone grabbed my hair. I yanked free and stumbled into the house. The woman blocked the doorway, and a loud boom exploded.

I shrieked, covered my ears, and curled into a corner. A painful roar sounded from outside, followed by the door slamming shut.

“Shit on a stick. Nathan! Get me that blanket. Emma, call the police now. Joel, cover that with the shotgun! If he moves, blast him!” my heroine’s voice snapped.

“Royal Harlots. Call the Royal Harlots MC; I’m Nun. Please, please get in touch with my club!” I begged her, still curled in a ball. I was stark naked with everything on show, and I didn’t care.

“Here, Ma, a blanket. Holy fuck, is that girl naked?”

“Nathan, mind your eyes. Call the Royal Harlots MC, tell them we have their missing member!”

“What’s their number?”

“Nathan, must I take care of every single thing? Look it up!” Ma snapped. “Nun. Let me get this around you.”

“Call my club. Be careful. He’s a serial killer,” I said before passing out.

“There! It’s an open white trailer!” Blue exclaimed. I skidded to a stop, unsure how Blue had spotted that, and drove through the gates.

Blue was out before I even parked up, leaping inside. He reemerged several moments later.

“It’s his! There’re bodies inside. Not Nun’s, but there’s blood everywhere.” Blue’s eyes lit on something, and he jumped from the truck and began racing away. I turned and saw what he had. In the distance, a slight figure ran from a fatter one toward a house.

Nun! She’d escaped.

Blue and I tore after them, closing in. We heard a loud bang, and Benjamin fell backwards. He started screaming, and the front door slammed shut. We closed in as a young man appeared, holding a shotgun. He trained it on Benjamin and then caught sight of us. The gun moved, and we stopped.

“My woman, Nun, do you have her? Is she safe? Did she escape? Please, is she alive?” Blue begged.

“Ma, I got two more,” the guy exclaimed.

“Ma’am. I’m Nun’s boyfriend. We’ve been searching for her. Please, we need to see her!”

“You ain’t coming in. You might be with him. Stay there,” an older woman yelled.

“Is she alive?” Blue shrieked.

“Yes, but unconscious. That’s all I’m telling you. Joel, the police are on the way,” Ma replied.

“We can wait out here, ma’am, as long as we know Nun’s alive,” I responded, holding my hands up. I motioned for Blue to do the same and sat on the ground. Blue eyed Benjamin evilly.

“You fat, perverted fuck,” Blue yelled and launched at Benjamin.

“Oh, shit, Ma. One of the other guys is beating the pig guy,” Joel said.
