Tell Tale

Jenna/Sr. Claire

"Such a refreshing memory, right Jenna?" The man named Ambrose said and deviously smiles at me. "And that is why you are here today Jenna. Poor soul. Rejected by its only family and pack. The second option to her mate....oh poor Jenna. Can't imagine what you went through." He chuckles at me.

No sympathy nor guilty or sadness is shown in his expression when saying those words but just a scornful face. The devil is mocking Jenna. I don't want to believe any of his words and I refuse to accept every piece of evidence they present before me.

However, the bastard brought in an old poor woman. These people are true monsters with no respect or compassion for anyone. They are beyond saving. I can see it through Ambrose's eyes.

At first, I thought I could change his mind but he never bothers to show any humanity in him. He and his followers are people I cannot be able to save because they are people whose minds are filled with nothing but pure darkness.

"Oh shut up witch" he harshly pushes the woman onto the floor. The poor woman cries out in pain. Ambrose then pull out a silver gun and pointed it at her.

"Go on, show her who she was and what she should hold against others" he demand kicking her in the stomach.

My heart goes out to the poor lady. The woman refuses to do it at first but the beast himself threatens her which accompany by his kick again.

"Come, on Lucia or I'll pull the trigger" he threatens her again. Lucia slowly looks up at me and when our eyes meet she cries out Jenna's name. "I am sorry, you have to go through this," she said.

Slowly she got up and move toward me. I can see her struggling to reach me. I reach out to help her. Lucia half-smile at me. She then touch my forehead which made me freeze right there. She speaks words I have never heard before but it kind of sounds like old Latin.

After a while, I feel my body numb and my soul being separated from my body. Then suddenly everything goes white which blinded my eyes and I quickly cover it with my hands.

'Sr. Claire' I hear an unknown voice calling me out. I take off my hand from my eyes. I then look around me and I am in the darkroom again. I see Lucia's hand on my forehead and Ambrose standing there. The guards are still standing. They are all frozen in their place even my body.

Am I dead' I thought but a voice calls out to me again. 'Claire.'

The door in the cell opens and I make a run for it. Instead of my way out to freedom, I found myself in an open area. I see young kids playing on the field and other older students laughing. Amid that happiness, I saw a girl sitting under a tree scribbling on a piece of paper. Looking around no one bothers to call up to the young girl.

I walk in her direction and stood before her. Slowly I get down on my knees. The young girl stops scribbling and abruptly turns up to see me.

I halted there when our eyes meet. Her eyes were mine, her face is mine and I could never be wrong that she is me. A younger version of me.

I watch as her tears drop from her eyes. I feel my hand wet by her tears which snaps me out of my gaze and turn down to see her tears made to the piece of paper on her lap.

It's a picture of a happy family on the other field with other people. The words encrypt on each figure were mom, dad, and sister. Then I slowly drag my gaze to see half of the paper.

I see nothing but black inked around a girl who looks with longing at the happy side. There were tears in the girl's eyes. I look up to see my younger version with tears dropping non-stop.

My tears betray me and I look back down again to see a name inscribed on the girl's dark picture.

'Jenna's world.'

I felt the air knocked out of me. Emotions overwhelm me with my heart-shattering in million shards. "Je-Je-Jen-a" I struggle to say the name on paper.

I glance up to see her face but something on her blouse catches my attention. There on the left pocket of her blouse stick a plate name with Jenna's name written on it. There cannot be two Jenna and I cannot believe we have the same face. No wonder why they always mistook me for Jenna.

However, it's impossible to have the same face, hair, and features the same unless were twins or I am her doppelganger.

"Jenna" shouted someone which pulls me into another setting. This time it's in her home and Jenna who is in front of me is not young anymore. We are now in her home kitchen.

I watch as she cooks the food with tears. I try to reach out to help her but it only results in a pot falling and shattering into pieces. I look at Jenna's worried face as she starts scrambling around to clean the mess.

"Jenna" a loud voice boomed from the living room.

In a minute I see a man striding toward Jenna without holding back he slap her hard which made her fall to the ground.

"Stop" I shouted at the man.

"Please stop" I beg together with Jenna.

The man harshly told her to clean up before he left. Jenna cleans up everything. I watch as she walks with tears to serve food. I watch as she looks on at the happy family with longing and tears never stopping from her eyes. I watch as her mother ignores her pleads. I watch as her sister ignores her.

Oh, blessed are those children who have parents who love them dearly. Take care of them and watch over them. I have witnessed kids taking advantage of their parent's love. Children who receive so much love and yet they give back nothing.

Here I am watching Jenna begging for someone to care for and love her, especially her parents.

I snap my attention back to Jenna and watch as people used her kindness and pure heart. I watch them taking advantage of it and only neglect her in the end.

I walk with Jenna through her saddest moments. I walk with her through her darkest moments. At every step of the way, I cry with her and I beg God to save Jenna's innocent soul. I ask God to find her salvation. I walk with Jenna through different stages of her werewolf life until I see a glimpse of hope in her eyes.

She murmurs the word 'mate' as she stares at him with admiration and anxiousness. She almost smiles upon seeing Shawn. However, the smile was gone before it reached her eyes when sees other figures emerging from behind him.

A pregnant woman and another kid came around and hold on to Shawn's arms. She kissed him on the cheek while rubbing her big stomach. Again I watch Jenna's heart shatter into pieces and slowly she withdraws from the scene with tears. When she started to run I then ran with her.

We both run through the neglect, the rejection, the isolation, and the heartbreak she felt. We run through it all as we search for someone to save us. Jenna running for her life and I want to be saved from this pain I am feeling.

I can't take it anymore. So I beg God to please save us both from this misery.

We run until she stops on that night and just as we are about to find salvation. Jenna runs to a younger version of Lucia. I watch again as things unfold in front of me.

She gives up everything for her freedom and just as we come to the end. I cry so hard until darkness filled our surroundings.

A second passed a light-filled our surroundings and I look around to see Jenna standing before me in the convent's chapel hallway. The same chapel I used to pray to every morning.

"Sr. Claire"

We both turn to see Mother Superior calling my name. I was to hug Mother Superior but she move past me. I slowly turn around just at the right time to see Mother Superior embrace Jenna in her arms. Jenna looks up at me with a content smile on her face which is filled with happiness.

"Everything is going to be alright Claire" I hear mother's superior whisper. Those were the same words she whispers to me after my ordination.

I broke into tears as everything I've been watching, going through, and running away from with Jenna sinks into me.

There is no doubt I am Jenna. The girl whom I cried with along her journey was me. I scream at nobody and just like that I am brought back to reality.

I found myself again, crying in Lucia's arms uncontrollably. "I am not Jenna" I shouted with so much pain and tears in my eyes. However, despite those cries of denial, there is one fact and that is Sr. Claire is also the girl named Jenna.

The broken girl of Clearwood Tiown that was mated to Beta Shawn.
