Last night seemed like a nightmare. Nadine awoke in her bed, safe, with no sign of the terrible creature that had attacked her. And no sign of Alec or Javert, either. But the memories remained, and the stitches and bandages on her arm attested to its truth.
It had happened. Oh god. This place was hell. There was no other explanation for it. This place was hell on earth, and she was being punished for her sins.
It was on that note that Nadine chose the chapel for her first shift. She supposed she believed in God. She'd known the touch of the devil, and if one existed the other had to as well. And she'd been raised a good Christian girl.
But she doubted God thought much of her anymore. Still, old habits died hard, and she was quiet as her nurse escorted her to the place of worship. She took a pew in the back and bowed her head, hands folded in her lap.
Maybe if God knew how sorry she really was, He'd forgive her.
