All Chapters of Stucks Between The Two Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

I picked everything I needed in my new home and put them in my luggage. Pick some books and photos and arrange them neatly in the luggage. I dragged the luggage out of my room and went downstairs to the sitting room where all my family stood to bade me goodbye.. I bade goodbye to my family and went outside to see a carriage waiting for me outside. I got inside and carted off my belongings. I'm Susan Theodore, a human girl, who was blessed with the gift of prophecy in the town of Kansas. It was believed that everyone who was born with this gift is possessed by a demon including me. So my parents decide to sell me out to Father Antoine of the Catholic Church when they find out I have this gift of prophesying.I remember telling them about a vision I had which is related to a woman in the next villa close to us and that's how they found out about my gift. In the vision, I saw a flash of light and the woman was in labour. She died in the labour leaving the child behind. I couldn't kee

Beginning of slaveryThere are times when life looks so bleak, you can’t see the windows. This was exactly how I was feeling at this moment. It’s been three days; Three days of constant abuses and pain, with nothing to make me feel slightly better. Father Antione has become my nightmare, and every single day, I wonder what I had done wrong to deserve such hatred. It literally beats my imagination, and I’m really worried sick about it. My family had left me for dead, at the most delicate part of my life. I said dead because this was becoming a nightmare. I preferred my old life to this. “Susan!” Father Antione’s voice rang out. “Father!” I responded just as hard. I picked myself up from the dirt ground that had served as my room for months, and walked to the living room. Father Antione was one of the fathers that received visits in his house, as a way to cleanse people of their sins. And, today was no exception. Seated in the parlour were seven

There are times I felt a glimpse of hope, and this was one of those times. I was finally leaving this place. And, maybe it wasn’t permanent because I would be back during the holidays, but it would surely give me some reprieve.
 Without saying my goodbye, I stepped into the bus that would take me to my new world. A glance at Father Antione showed that he was red in the face. Was he expecting me to be all merry towards him? No, that’s never going to happen. If he wanted to save face in the public, he should have done the right thing. I looked forward, waiting anxiously for the bus to move. I didn’t want to think about anything. I wanted to have a new life, and I was going to have that.
 A couple of people came into the bus. They would be dropping along the way, so it was nice. A chubby teenager sat beside me, picking his teeth and gassing without a care. I had the undeniably urge to change my seat, but I knew I wasn’t going to be allotted that pleasure, so I slumped into my seat.

Someone repeatedly shook me by the shoulders. I sighed in response to it. I didn’t want any unnecessary stress at this point, but this person wouldn’t stop. I turned sideways in frustration. “Go away. I want to sleep,” I said dryly. “No sleep on the first day of school. Come on, get up!” The girl snapped. I quickly opened my eyes, as my heart raced. If I did something wrong, I could get punished. And… “Susan, breathe. It’s just me,” the voice sounded. My eyes flicked to the voice, and I watched as Bethany looked at me in panic. I swallowed hard. It was just Bethany. There was no-one trying to harm me here. I was safe. “I… You shouldn’t have done that. You scared me so much,” I said quietly. Bethany smiled at me sadly. “You scared me too. Is this your first time of staying away from home? There is nothing to worry about. I wouldn’t let anything happen to you, roomie. Plus, the students are harmless here. They would do nothing to you. We are a tight bunch,” she said with a smile.
