Part the fourth - In which the circle is no longer needed.
Sister Petra had been missing for two days now, and, as the Mother Superior laid out the morning sermon for her sole remaining Sister, she sighed. She could see the glances, not at her, nor at the symbol above them, the symbol of their faith, but the doorway. More specifically, the doorway to the hall which, in turn, led to the basement door.
She already knows. I don't know how, but she does. Well... I knew this day was coming, at least
. The Mother Superior stopped her sermon, mid sentence, and coughed. Loudly. Sister Lea, startled, looked back at her.
"You're thinking about the door." Sister Lea moved to speak, but she held up one hand, cutting her off "No, it's obvious. The records of our sisterhood are quite clear about something like this happening, each time, and I have held it from you precisely because I hoped it would be different
this
time. But it is not. So you might as well tell me
how
you found out."
Sister Lea flushed, and steepled her fingers together. It wasn't just the sinful thoughts that crossed her mind, but the embarrassment at being found out by her Mother Superior, who she respected. But she did speak, soft and low. "I... There was a scroll. In the library. Sister Petra must have read it, and discarded it, and..." She blushed harder "...It went into a lot of detail."
The Mother Superior quirked one eyebrow. And then, to the shock of Sister Lea, she threw back her head and
laughed
. "Mother Superior, what...?" Again, the hand.
"Oh, Sister Lea, I don't judge you. But I am amused precisely because our opponent, our tempter, is more cunning than even I had imagined. And I will admit, now that it is the two of us, that I have not been immune to that temptation, especially because I know more than you." Sister Lea goggled, her eyes like saucers.
"You... You've seen...
Even more
description of her temptation? How can you still stand here, Mother Superior, I... I read just that one, and..." She lowered her head again, her training over-riding her desire to speak briefly "...I was sinful, this past two nights. Many times." A hand laid on her shoulder, and she looked up sharply, in surprise. The Mother Superior's look was sympathetic.
"Sister, I have always disagreed with the idea of pleasuring one's
self
as a sin. It is a safe outlet for thoughts that might tempt to greater acts, a means of the pleasure, if you will, without the actual
sin
. Still..." The hand was pulled back, and the Mother Superior looked sternly toward the same door. "It is time. Other Mother Superiors simply left. Others still went down willingly, some before the Sisters under their charge. We will be only a little different, in that we will
both
be prepared with the knowledge of what comes." Sister Lea stood, but she was still looking down.
"And... When we go down, what then?" The Mother Superior looked at her, and her face was neutral.
"Whatever happens? Happens. There is no judgement in it save the ones we make ourselves now."
Sister Lea looked confused, but she followed anyway, as the Mother Superior strode to the basement door. To their seemingly inevitable meeting.
The stairs were still lit, which was a relief, and the journey short. Although it seemed an eternity to Sister Lea. But, soon enough, they rounded the final bend, and... Sister Lea gasped, and even the Mother Superior let out a hitched breath. Sister May was being fucked in the ass, her cries of pleasure muted, but becoming loud as she saw them enter. Her body was stained with cum, and her thighs were wet. The succubus didn't even look like she was making an effort, her hands seemingly gentle, but Sister May was energetically bounced, up and down.
Meanwhile, Sister Petra was straddling Sister Shelley, grinding her sex against Sister Shelley's face, both enthusiastically moaning as they licked and fingered each other, rubbing their bodies against one another, and enjoying each other's bodies. Sister Lea's breathing grew heavier, and the Mother Superior frowned.
Moments later, the succubus gripped Sister May hard, and held her down as Sister May's delighted, lustful cries reached a crescendo. "Thank you Mistress-aaaaa!" The succubus smiled, removed her bodily, and set her down, with a mewling moan of disappointment, of
need
, from Sister May. And she turned to the two newcomers, and smiled.
"Ahhh... Judging by the fact the Mother Superior is here, you are the last two to arrive. I hope you've been enjoying the show. So, Mother Superior... What
can
I do for you?" Her tone was arch, and her smile showed her amusement.
The Mother Superior steeled herself. This would be, to both her and the remaining Sister, the hardest part (Glancing aside, at the flushed face, she corrected herself... Only herself.) "I wish to make a deal."
The succubus nodded, and she was genuinely respectful. "Your will is commendable. No Mother Superior before you even
considered
that course of action. They'd played with themselves, as their Sisters vanished one by one, and, before I would be encircled once more, released to the wider world..." She raised a hand, cutting off further speech "No, you already know my rules. I've certainly ensured they were recorded. The deal is mine to explain, although it will be fair. I will
allow
you to place these symbols on both of the doors to this basement, above, and here, on this wall" (A finger guided the Mother Superior's eyes.) "Then, you will spend not more than two hours in the company of myself and your Sisters..." (A gasp from Sister Lea, a sidelong glance.) "And, after that, it will be explained, for the benefit of Sister Lea here, what my leaving entails. It is not, after all, a choice made lightly. If any say 'Nay' , I will let them go, and tell them of the location of a Papal pardon, still valid, and absolving them of their sins in this place."
The Mother Superior tutted to herself, tapping her chin, seemingly oblivious to the cries of desire and sounds of the room, as she thought. She raised her head. "A Papal pardon, which I was not aware of, but clearly laid here within the Pope's lifetime... While I accept most of your terms, I would ask you to explain
