A Confession and a Prayer | POV

A confession.

 

She couldn’t feel anything at first. Nor hear anything.

Until suddenly it all came rushing to her, the roaring passing through her ears, the rapid thud of her heart. The grief clogging her throat.

Sofia naturally had her suspicions.

She never did believe him innocent in his trial originally.

And now there had been another murder. This one her father.

Their father.

She tried for a moment, to remember a time when she thought of the man she shared a womb with, as her brother and her mind drew blank, hazy.

What cruelty this was.

He always did have a way of ruining everything, coddled until he couldn’t be no more.

A feeling welled up, one familiar yet foreign. A moment of satisfaction.

That she was right.

He had dealt such pain to the family.

That feeling soon left, though, favored by grief.

Despite herself, she found she had occasionally missed the man she once called her brother.

What would life had been like if he was not a psychopath?

Could they have been close?

The cliche of twins you may read within a novel?

Or would it have been the same?

And as that last feeling joined the rest, she felt nothing but vengeance come over her.

If it were not for him, her father would be here this day.

If it were not for him, the family wouldn’t have splintered as they grieved.

Always, always if it were not for him..

Sofia de Pelear, daughter of Cesar and Laurelie de Pelear sat upon the pews of the church after having signed the Lorraine and bowed her head.

And so she prayed,

"DIOS, in your name I pray, free me from this grief and anger alike.

This hatred I feel for who was once my twin.

 He took life from this world, that of my Padre and does not regret it.

 Vengeance may be a sin and yet, I feel it burning through me. 

Show me your light, your guidance. 

DIOS, I plead to tu deliver me from this pain and allow me to think with a clear mind and body.

DIOS, in your name I pray.

 Amen.”

A tear slid down her cheek, growing silent within the expanse of the church.
