Saving Sarah 11 - Impending doom
“I see your roommates haven’t told you yet.” Gladys offered a sly smile, having read her thoughts. “But don’t worry, as time goes on, you’ll come to find out what this place really is. You will eventually get to see things for yourself.”“Well, I can assure you that I wouldn’t wait around too long to find out whatever it is, and as for Armo or whatever you call him, he can go to hell for all I care. I’m not going to sit back and fold my arms in despair like all the rest of you. The last thing I would do is result to being a sitting duck. My mind is made up and I’m gonna find a way out of this place at all cost.”Gladys seductively bit her lower lip with a flirty smile mixed with admiration on her face. “We haven’t had one with guts like you in here for a very long time, Sarah, and I like your determination but trust me, it will be short-lived.” As she turned and continued down the

Saving Sarah 2 - Heartbroken
They turned their heads at the sound of her voice and Fred quickly jumped off her with a shocked expression mixed with guilt and fear. Without taking his eyes off Sarah, he reached beside him, and with one hand, he quickly loosened the cord around Helen's wrists, setting her free.Helen, however, did not look the slightest bit remorseful; instead, she looked more pissed at the unexpected disruption of the wonderful moment she was having. Now free from the cords that bound her to the bedpost, she sat up with her back propped against a pile of two pillows.Covering her breasts with her arms, she averted her gaze. Sarah felt like she had been sucker-punched. How had she not recognized Helen's voice? Perhaps because of the music."Huh, babe..." Fred began with a nervous smile, wetting his lip. He was obviously distressed and trying not to panic. "I didn't know you were coming today... huh…I…thought...your trip was um... canceled?" he visibly gulped."You deceitful son-of-a-bitch!" A tear

She had always thought boys and men wanted her because she was beautiful, but Fred had proven her wrong like her other stupid cheating boyfri
Saving Sarah 4 - A father's despair
"I want to be a nun." Declared Sarah.Her father sauntered out of his wine bar, holding a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a burning cigar between the fingers of his other hand. "Another ploy you brought from Chicago to rattle my chains, uh?" He casually asked, putting the cigar between his lips for a pull."This is not a joke, dad." She said grimly. "I really want to be a nun."She knew her father would find it very difficult to believe her so she wasn’t too surprised when the old stout man threw his head backwards and barked a laughter. "You are just like your mother, always joking!" he said with a lingering smile on his face as he uncorked the bottle of whiskey and poured himself some into a glass cup.Sarah suddenly seemed annoyed, she got up and walked towards him slowly. "I. Am. Not. Kidding!" She emphatically stated each word solemnly.Sensing the seriousness of her tone now, her father gave her an intense stare then said more to hims
Saving Sarah 5 - A new life
“What do we do?” Fred asked as he paced the living room, one hand on his hip and the other on his head. He was greatly distressed unlike Helen who comfortably sat in the couch, watching him go back and forth.“Do you think she is really serious about becoming a nun?” She asked with a cringe. “That girl is full of surprises, isn’t she?”“That is not the case now, Helen.” Fred paused to say to her. “She might have forgiven us now by keeping her mouth shut but what if she comes back and changes her mind, I am fucked! There is just so much at stake.” He resumed pacing again, nervously chewing on his nails this time.Helen thought for a moment, the stated. “Then we have to make sure that she never comes back.”Fred paused again to look at her. “If she is going to the convent in the country where I think she is going, then we can make things work in our favor. I met some guy onl
Saving Sarah 6 - Something amiss
There were just so many obvious reasons for her to turn back now while she still could but when she thought about Helen and Fred, she pursed her lips firmly, trying to do away with any discouraging thought that kept popping up in her mind.She just wasn’t sure if she could cope with this new lifestyle. What if she regretted it? What if she chickened out halfway and wanted to leave, would they let her? She pondered. Most of her life, she had mostly donned pants, shorts, short and snug gowns, cropped tops, high heels and other expensive accessories but it seemed she won’t be getting any of that luxury here for none of the nuns seem to have any jewelry on, not even wristwatches or earrings. She would have to look bland for the rest if her life.This wasn’t what she had really signed up for and she was very skeptical about giving it a try. Being a nun came with surrendering her life totally to God and giving up the pleasures of the world. S
Saving Sarah 7 - Four nuns
After the tiring tour, Sister Gladys led Sarah to one of the sleeping quarters where several of the nuns inhabited. After walking down the deserted hallway, they approached the door of a room. Sister Gladys knocked then entered the room without hesitating. Sarah followed, finding herself in a large room containing four bunk beds of which only three of the beds were obviously occupied by different women.The women who were quiet and immersed in reading, looked up from whatever catholic books they were reading to curiously stare at them. The women were clad in the same casual clothes, more like plain sleeping gowns they wore in their leisure time, but it was still uniformed. One of the women slipped off the top bunk and approached them with a smile."Sister Gladys?" She said with an inquiry look fixed on SarahSister Gladys half-turned to regard Sarah as she spoke to the woman. "This is Sarah, she's new. Mother has instructed me to inform you ladies to make her co
