DIED A BEAUTY, REINCARNATED AS A BEAST

FATHER FRANCIS AND MOTHER MAGGIE

I was as sad as doom after hearing that I will soon be adopted, and the thought of death and everlasting hellfire made me miserable throughout the day. 

"What's wrong with Ugly-face? He seemed unhappy since you took him to see Madam Maggie," Betty who seemed to notice my grief asked Alice. 

"I have no idea. Maybe he is sick due to his golden pupils," Alice responded, shrugged and glanced at me.

"Mother Maggie said he may be adopted anytime from now."

"Really? That's good news. At least we will be rid of his ugly face."

"That's cruel. Don't tell me you won't miss him."

Betty batted her eyes, hissed and let out, "no, I won't. Why will I miss Ugly-face?"

Alice glanced at me and muttered, "he is a kind-hearted baby, and just unfortunate to be born ugly. I have grown some kind of likeness for him."

"Why won't you? When you don't have a boyfriend."

"Ahh!" Alice exclaimed, stepped closer to Betty and asked, "have you forgotten that we are nuns, and under the oat of celibacy and chastity?" 

"Calibacy my foot!" Betty hissed and let out. She frown her face, pushed her lower lip out and asked, "why should I be bound by oats when all our leaders were free to do as they like?"

Alice raised her eyebrows and asked, "what did you mean, Betty?"

"I saw Mother Maggie and father Francis having copulation inside Mother's room," Betty let out in a whisper, darted her eyes around the room, and then resumed her speech, "they always spend every Sunday night together inside Mother Maggie's room." 

"You are lying, Betty. Aren't you?"

"No, I am not. You are the only one without a boyfriend here. Others are having fun and enjoying themselves, but you always form perfection," Betty paused her speech, smirked and asked, "are you doing it outside the orphanage?"

"Doing what?"

"Stop looking like that, Alice. You know what I mean, don't you?"

"I don't."

"Huh! Of course, you do. I am sure you have a boyfriend hidden  somewhere that is satisfying your sexual urge."

"Holy Maddona. We are nuns for christ's sake!" 

"I know, stop reminding me that."

Their chattering soon turned into whispering, and I wish I have the power to hear people's whispering. 

'I will ask the system for this ability,' I muttered to myself, shrugged and was lost in thought after. 

My sleep was sound, and it was my soaked diaper that woke me up the following morning. One thing I hate about being a baby is my inability to control some of my organs. 

After crying to attract the attention of Alice, she hurried towards me, picked me up, scrambled to the washroom, and then began to change my diaper. And I can see she was lost in thought as she was attending to me. 

"Don't worry, baby. You will be blessed for keeping to your oat," I babble out, giggled and throw my legs and arms up in the air.

"I am happy that you are now smiling," Alice mumbled, looked deep into my golden pupils, smiled and let out, "I will miss you, Ugly-face. You are the first baby I will be growing emotionally attached to.

"Oh... Alice! I will miss you as well."

"I had almost forgotten-. You are a year older today!"

"What?"

Alice peered at my shocked face, looked stunned for a while, and then asked, "can you hear me?.. I thought baby can't hear the grown-up speech."

'I am a grown-up lady that was imprisoned in the body of a year old baby,' I mumbled to myself, grinned foolishly and babble out.

Since my expression did not match her suspicion, Alice shrugged, removed my diaper, washed my buttocks, pour some sweet-smelling powder, and dressed me up in a new diaper. 

The room was filled with babies wailing when we entered, and all the nuns were busy attending to them. 

"Today is Ugly-face's birthday," Alice announced.

"Wow!.. Happy birthday, Ugly-face," Betty cried out. 

"Happy Birthday!" Alicia said.

"You have a new colour of eyes for a birthday gift. Isn't that amazing?" Agatha asked. 

"Since it's not affecting his vision, I don't see any cause for concern," Alice let out.

"Don't worry, Ugly-face. We will celebrate your two years birthday for you," Agatha announced.

"He will be adopted before then," Betty said. 

"Oh! What a lucky baby. I don't believe anyone will be so courageous enough to adopt a baby as ugly as him."

"Fuck off,  Agatha," I babble out, and then burst into an uncontrollable cry after.

"I think he is hungry. Alice, come and attend to your baby," Betty said.

Alice hurried towards me, picked up my feeding bottle, mixed my baby food with warm water, and shortly began to feed me. 

Even though I am already fed up with all this baby food, I have no choice but to gulp it down my tiny throat. 

'When will I be able to eat pizza, hotdogs and roasted chicken?' I asked myself and then sighed with despair. 

Yet, I know I am supposed to be grateful. No matter what I am passing through now, it is better than being imprisoned in everlasting hell. 

'My task!' 

The remembrance of my impossible task made me think deeply about a way out.

Maybe it's not impossible, after all. Not after what I heard from Betty and Alice yesterday. 

If Father Francis always sleeps in Mother Maggie's room every Sunday, then Mother Maggie will always leave the door to her room open for Father Francis to sneak inside. 

"It's okay, Ugly-face. You can't finish a whole bottle at once and began to ask for more after a few minutes."

"What a fuck, Alice. When did you start rationing meals for us? .. Bullshit!" I babble out with an angry look. 

"Stop glaring at me, Ugly-face. You are giving me chills," Alice mumbled, sighed, and put the feeding bottle back in my mouth.

Since today is Saturday, I need to start making the plan to visit Mother Maggie tomorrow night.

'I will achieve my goal earlier, and the system will be impressed by my heroism.'
