Like every Sunday morning, all eyes were on Tabitha as she came through the front doors of the town's only Catholic church. Tabitha was a stunning petite natural blonde who had celebrated her 18th birthday just a few months earlier. Even though there was not a boy in town who didn't go after the young beauty; she had never had a boyfriend. She was raised in a very strict religious household and led a very sheltered life. She was not allowed to date or attend any of the social events that were common for a teenager. She spent all of her time studying, volunteering, or helping out at the church.
On this particular day, Tabitha had something very important to discuss with her priest, Father Bernard. Tabitha's parents had pushed her to devote her life to the church and God. Shortly after her 18th birthday, she chose to follow her parent's wishes. She had spent a few weeks researching the process. After the sermon, the young beauty approached Father Bernard. He was a short, stocky man in his late fifties with a really bad comb-over. She wanted his advice about the best path for her to take to become a nun. He told her about a convent that was a few towns away that would be a perfect place for her training. He made it clear that this convent was quite different than most Catholic institutions.
"Father Theodore is very particular about who he accepts. I knew you had been thinking about this for a little while now, so last week when he was here I pointed you out to him," explained Father Bernard. "He told me that a spot had just opened up and he would be glad to give it to you."
Tabitha wasn't sure what to think about Father Theodore accepting her without any interview or even an introduction. She tried to ask Father Bernard several questions, but he kept telling her that Father Theodore will explain everything when she gets there. She was quite naive and decided to stop questioning the man who had been her mentor since she was a little girl. She wanted to know more, but before she knew it, she had agreed to attend the convent.
A week later, Tabitha was picked up by Father Bernard to take her to the convent. He insisted on driving her instead of her parents. The trip took much longer than expected. Father Bernard was not totally truthful when he said it was a few towns away. During the long trip, Father Bernard kept going on and on about how great of an experience this will be for the innocent teen. She was told that all young women like herself were sent there. She would be around women her age which should help her adjust to her new life. Tabitha didn't notice, but her priest kept glancing at her toned legs every chance he got during their journey. She was wearing a yellow summer dress that kept riding up her tender thighs a little more every time she tried to get comfortable in Father Bernard's ancient station wagon.
The convent turned out to be on the other side of the state and over 15 miles down a dirt road off the main highway. All Tabitha could see down the dirt road was miles and miles of trees. When they finally reached their destination, they had to wait several minutes at a huge iron gate. A weird looking man in what appeared to be a janitor uniform opened the gate for them. They had to drive another mile before reaching the front of a five-story building. It was a massive compound surrounded by a 10-foot stone wall. They were met by the Mother Superior at the front of the main building. There were two more large buildings that were out of sight.
"I am your Mother Superior; please call me, Mother Maria." She was a very short woman in her late forties. Tabitha could tell that she was probably quite beautiful in her younger days. Father Bernard gave Tabitha a hug goodbye and left her with Mother Maria. Tabitha had just a small suitcase with her as she was told not to bring much. After the two women had entered the main building, Mother Maria locked the front door behind them. Tabitha found this a little unnerving but decided not to say anything. The middle-aged nun gave the nubile teen a small tour before showing her the sleeping quarters on the second floor.
After entering the room assigned to Tabitha, Mother Maria told her she would be right back. A few minutes later she arrived holding clothes. "These are for you." Tabitha was given her habit. Her new attire consisted of a black tunic, a white scapular and black cowl. It was the traditional attire she had seen the nuns wear at her church.
"I thought that I wouldn't receive my habit for a few years?" questioned Tabitha.
"Father Theodore does things a little different here. You will keep your habit as long as you are faithful to the church and God. You will be referred to as Sister Tabitha on a trial basis and after one year of loyalty the title 'Sister' will be permanent. Eventually, you will be given a new name, but Father Theodore likes to give the title immediately."
"Okay."
"Is that how you address your Mother Superior."
"I am sorry. Yes, Mother Maria."
"That is better. You will not work outside of the convent for the first few months or be able to leave under any circumstances. You must devote all of your time to your studies. We don't allow any outside forces to create obstacles. You are not allowed to make phone calls, use the internet and which of course means no social media. Did you bring a cell phone?"
"No, I didn't. Can I write a letter to my parents?"
"That is a privilege you must earn from Father Theodore. And your parents were told that you wouldn't be able to contact them."
"Why I wasn't I told?"
"Are you always this difficult?"
"I'm sorry, I just didn't know I would be so isolated."
"Do you want to serve God?"
"Yes."
Mother Maria explained, "then this is your path. Not many young ladies get this opportunity."
"Yes, thank you, and thank you for all your help." Tabitha tried to sound appreciative.
"Now let's make sure everything fits."
Mother Maria stood in front of the nubile teen waiting for her to undress. Tabitha couldn't figure out why her Mother Superior wasn't leaving the room. "You want me to get changed in front of you?"
"We are closest to God when our flesh is not covered. That was God's intention before the original sin and you are in the house of God."
Tabitha turned around and slowly took off her yellow dress. She was clearly embarrassed as she couldn't stop trembling. She stood there with her back to Mother Maria almost frozen. "What are you waiting for? Take off everything. You will be wearing the undergarments we provide for you."
"My underwear too?" questioned the terrified innocent teen.
"I said everything. You just told me you weren't difficult, I am not convinced."
