The Gospel of Mother

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Mother says the blue-eyed are deadly. Mother says they are born from the Devil. Mother says they must be feared. Serafine has spent her whole life inside the fence and just enough time outside it to know she shouldn't be there. Curiosity has always pulled her to the border, but fear has always dragged her back. Until the day she wanders too far, and meets someone with the one thing Mother forbids above all: blue eyes. Suddenly the world she thought was holy begins to crack open. In its rules, in its rituals, and in her own heart. In a faith built on fire, obedience, and punishment, Serafine must choose what burns worse. Holding on to Mother's truth, or stepping into a life she was never meant to see. Some faiths protect you. Some faiths trap you. Some faiths burn you alive. Hers does all three. ©AudreyAntonia; Nothing may be used elsewhere without my written permission. I own the copyright at all times.

P R O L O G U E

Mother lights the path of flame,

We walk in white, we speak her name.

Hands held low, our heads aligned

Mother knows the sinner’s mind.

Curious hearts must turn to stone,

No wandering thoughts, no steps alone.

Questions fall like ash to dust,

For Mother’s word is all we trust.

Attachments fade beneath her eye,

No bond shall bloom, no tear shall cry.

Desire burns, we starve it still,

For wanting leads to devil’s will.

We shed the selves we used to be,

Our names dissolve in purity.

The past is smoke the night consumes

No memory blooms beneath Her rules.

Mercy breaks the sacred chain,

So strike with strength, deny their pain.

The White Flame waits for those who stray

Mother sees, and lights the way.

Mother lights the path of flame,

We walk in white, we speak her name...

lblomme: I always love a story where good overcomes evil. The sad start, the growth, and ultimate strength of the main character was well done. The story never lagged and ultimately delivered a happy ending even for characters who were less than stellar. Well done!

Gallandro7: I originally added this because it looked interesting and I was curious how the mate process would go.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.

caldwtd: A bit of sweet in a world of violence. I enjoyed this story, and angst of each character believing they should not have these feelings towards each other.
