# The Nun Ⅱ | 2023 Do I still have to go to confession? **I think you've confessed enough.** --- One by one the sisters found themselves murdered. Hanging from windows. Throats slit open. Acts of suicide. Sometimes worse. They learned that beneath their remote abbey was a terrible secret. A gateway to hell. And from this gateway, a demon had escaped. Now, we know that **a demon can take any form**, but **they choose their form to challenge your faith and weaken your spirits.** --- ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1705146066648/c6897afe-00d8-462e-b5ed-ecb9083df1b8.jpeg align="center") ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1705146085671/2aec1f6f-896d-4ae0-8efe-ed81c7215309.jpeg align="center") ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1705146113866/c2ab3145-d6e2-4a28-bd2d-ef2bcb9e50d9.jpeg align="center") --- Now, for the nuns of Saint Carta, this demon chose the most ungodly, the most blasphemous form. **It chose to look like one of them.** --- ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1705146157842/31aa71d0-c91a-424d-a735-f0bb54b46dbc.jpeg align="center") --- Well, the Vatican sent in a pair of demon hunters. **A priest and a nun.** --- ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1705146191531/898b9307-25ad-4794-a92c-61ef41fa431b.jpeg align="center") --- **They used an ancient relic, a vial which contained the blood of Jesus Christ.** --- Your Eminence. **The Church would like you to investigate.** Find out what it wants and where it's going next. --- But when I see the priest stand up and say he turned the wine into the blood of Christ, I mean, it's kind of hard to believe. It's an act of faith. **The wine becomes the blood of Christ because we believe.** **The most extraordinary parts of our faith are only real because we believe in them.** --- ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1705146272227/b5030310-e135-490f-b13e-9c176f6a486c.jpeg align="center") --- **Saint Lucy.** **Patron Saint of the blind.** --- ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1705146304719/dcc833db-62eb-4cec-a116-c7b677d71a7b.jpeg align="center") --- ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1705146490693/052bfeb3-e1ae-4fb6-8f26-bbfb201c309a.jpeg align="center") ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1705146374260/4d2c5cbe-3653-4415-8122-6044104c5afd.jpeg align="center") --- We're close. I had a vision. I saw what the demon whats. **It's powerful.** **Some coveted prize, some ancient relic.** It's been using Maurice to get it. Driving him. Draining him. Keeping him alive just to find this thing. It's going to kill him when it's done. --- ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1705146540390/f91f6a11-07af-4d13-ac2c-dc9ef74035ca.jpeg align="center") --- It's a family crest.

What? The eyes. When Lucy was murdered by pagans ,her family escaped. They were hunted. Scattered across the globe. All this time, they've been protecting a secret.
