A branch snaps, making my hands shake with the need to hurry.
What are you waiting for, my friend?
Is Sister Bernadette afraid?
She has to be. Hungry for her fear, I squeeze my thighs together, then I push my face close and look deep in her eyes.
“The blood of the lamb will wash away your sins.” She gasps, and her eyes roll back. “Repent.”
My heart slams shut.
I begin the prayers.
