Who we truly are

I know that you are asking about who we are and wondering why we needed you?, Sister Paula added.

Aha, she can read my mind!, I thought and bluntly said, well not yes but why would you need me anyway?

Let’s just say that we are not really from this world and you are what we came here for?, Sister Teresa added while munching on her pancake.

I knew it, these people are crazy, I thought again and Sister Paula laughed. Aha, there you go again, we can read your mind, so stop murmuring and asking instead speak to us directly and we will answer your questions, alright!

What, you can hear me speak and oh, my God, so, you knew what I said about you, Sister Paula?, I cried amazed and embarrassed at the same time.

I know Sister Paula is cute but silly, haha, but we certainly know what you are up to or what you think or say, yet we certainly value them!, Sister Jona added. Sorry we didn’t tell you right away but we can’t expose ourselves with the people of Favela and the soldiers who looted us can’t know who we truly are, Sister Jona said seriously.

Haa…I knew it, I know I’m not hallucinating when Sister Paula disappeared right in front of me when she visited me in my room one time. Huh, Paula, you did that?, Sister Jona yelled at the girl. Why you stubborn, mutt, you

Ahh.. sorry, I can’t resist Sister Beatrice, she’s so cute so… I just did that to check up on her and all…..ahhhh, stop, help…., Sister Paula shouted when Sister Jona ran after her to smack her in the head.

Shut up, guys, we are here for the meeting and Sister Beatrice needs to understand our mission and why we are here in Favela, Sister Teresa said calmly still seated on the far end of the long table.

Sisters?, like warriors who fight to protect people?, Is that what you meant by sisters who travel through time and fight?, I added.

You can say that! We call ourselves Sisters of the Shadow, an elite group that works under cover and the impression that we serve the poor and the youth to aid and teach them about God. Warriors is too loud, bloody and reckless but we work and kill with finesse and right judgment. Most of the time, we don’t really hurt others or the enemies but just give them a lesson and keep them alive unless they are brutal, killers and are born evil. We don’t have a choice but silence them for our work and mission is highly confidential and let’s just say, top secret, Sister Jona explained while holding Sister Paula’s shirt collar with one hand so as not to escape from her mischief.

Ah..haha, so you have recruited me to do this, ah, whatever you call it, warrior or shadow killing stuff? But I’m no killer nor vigilante, I am a servant of God and the people, so…., I said but Sister Teresa cut me off as she charged to hit me from behind.

Yahhhhhhhh……

Ah, what the f….??? Sister, what are you doing?, I said and immediately jumped on the right side to lose her and faced the sister with condescending look. Sister, I won’t fight you!, I added and closed my eyes pretending that it’s just okay and that I don’t really care what they do to me since I’m confident  can take care of myself and defend it.
