Sisters of the Shadow

That’s just it, why we chose you to join our team. Confident, brave and unrelentless. You don’t fear death and you let your enemy feel that they are on the winning streak when in fact, with one move of my hand you can automatically strangle and kill me even if you seem to not see me yet feel and sense me fully. We need someone like you, Beca, your abilities will help us and our cause to infiltrate and penetrate the Canudos and any other groups that are posing as threats to the world and the communities that serve and help the poor and the youth, Sister Jona replied and smiled at me. Sister Teresa was about ot hit me from behind but I was able to catch her hand and pulled her to my front as she back flipped and fell to the ground, her body aching all over.

That’s what you get, you over grown, stubborn bitch!!!!, Sister Paul said and laughed. Sister Teresa held her butt and back while she complains with the pains. We all laughed and giggled with her pertinence but knew right away that Beatrice is indeed an asset to the team.

The pandemic,  struck and stayed  in the world on years 2019-2023, we knew that things would be chaotic after. Economically and politically, the world is struggling. Why I knew about it, I just came from year 2023 and hell the world is in great shit. Storms, forest fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, etc happens and kept on happening which are crazy when you think about the events that as if Jesus is on his second coming.

But I don’t think that’s the case. I think whatever is happening in the world is the cause of our negligence and abuse of the earth and its natural resources. We keep on ignoring the fact that we have greedily overused and abused the earth that it can no longer protect itself from the calamities that we the people of the world chose to do and keep on doing for selfish gains, money or for power…..We are indeed stupid and evil, Sister Chelsea thought while Sister Jona and Beatrice are discussing about the mission of the Sisters of the Shadow. And she will soon know our hidden secret and how we came about as a group of vigilantes, not against the church but against the out-laws and evil men, women of the world. We have sworn to protect the innocent and those deprived of justice. We were all chosen to be in this community of women, sisters, with only one goal, mission, that is to uphold the peace, and defend those who need saving in the most sophisticated and silent way possible. Why we call ourselves Shadow Sisters is because we are like magicians, shadows that can disappear and appear whenever we want to or wherever we desire to as long as it is for the good, upholding justice and for peace.

It’s like a vortex when I tried to reach for it but the moment I touched its luminous and mercury-like texture, it disappeared. I was left in awe and I couldn’t believe what I saw until today…

Sister Teresa, what are you doing here alone?, Sister Chelsea said and smiled at me. Ah well I just couldn’t figure out what I saw a couple of days ago in our cellar, the old community building we were supposed to live in since the civil war began against Canudos and the Brazilian government happened. Well, you don’t need to worry about it since we all wonder why we are here and some of us came from the future and the past, that we aren’t sure where and when we happened to appear and stayed in this time because we are destined to. Maybe the universe is fucked up and that we are living in a crazy world after all, sister Chelsea added and shrugged.

Hmm…fucked up! Well, if it is, I don’t really want ot be a part of it!, sister Teresa sighing.

Aha, but you are a part of it already, you are here now and defending every little souls we rescue or fight for in Favela, more over the world, when the portals open up and close whether here or anywhere in the world.

You got me there, hell, okay, let’s go now, it’s about time for dinner!, sister Teresa said and tapped the dirt on her skirt on top of a fitted pants to go along with the outfit.

It was December, 1980, when Christmas was about to come, and the Canudos tried to take our food and enslave, rape our women. The late Commander Gonzales was the head of the militant group who is a fierce leader but didn’t have control over his soldiers that they did everything in their power to loot, molest our women or girls and disrespect even the sisters or brothers serving the Lord.

He died due to an ambush set by his enemy, General Mendoza, who was the newly appointed military head for the Brazilian Army during those chaotic time in Favella community.
