Chapter thirty one: Baptism
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christine dressed in a lovely pale yellow sun dress for Sophia’s baptism that was happening that morning. Sophia was wearing a traditional white dress. Christine wished her parents could’ve been there to see their grandchild baptized. Christine hadn’t even written to her parents in the last nine months since her wedding. Christine missed them terribly but she would never show her weakness for her family to Ivan. The bedroom door opened and in walked Ivan. “The car is waiting,” he told her. Christine nodded her head. She put on her jacket and picked up her purse and walked out of the bedroom. Ivan held Sophia in his arms and handed her off to Christine when they got into the car.
Little did they know that they were being followed by Erik Orion him self. Sophia sat on Christine’s lap as they made their way to the church. The last time Christine had been in a church was when she got married again to Erik and her brother in law was shot by her childhood friend Raoul Changy. When they arrived at the church Ralf stepped out first and then escorted the couple into the church. Erik was already there hiding in the back. The ceremony began immediately. The priest was there waiting for them. Erik’s fists clenched as he watched his biggest enemy baptize his own daughter! Erik was about to pull his gun from his holster when Christine stepped in front of Ivan and held up Sophia. The priest put water on the little child’s head.
Erik clenched his teeth and tried to hold back his tears.
After Sophia had been baptized Ivan took the priest aside and wrote something down on Sophia’s birth certificate. Then Ivan made his way back to Christine. He kissed the side of her head and then touched Sophia’s. The two then left the church to go back to their home.
Erik didn’t know why he hadn’t shot the body guard and that piece of shit Ivan Merik. But Erik was in a church, his wife and child were present and if he was going to kill Ivan he wasn’t going to do it in front of them. When they had left Erik stepped out of his hiding place and looked around the beautiful church. He had only been in a church once in his entire life. It was this very same church. Erik would never have forgotten the crucifix on the wall with Jesus Christ hanging from it. Erik walked up to it and sighed deeply. “Can I help you?” a man’s voice spoke up. Erik turned to see an old priest coming towards him.
Erik stepped back from him. It was Father Michael. Erik never forgot a face. It was the same who baptized him as a child. Erik hadn’t been baptized until he was two and even at that age he had an amazing memory and was extremely smarter than most kids his age. “I know you,” Father Michael said coming towards Erik. “Rosemary Orion,” the old man said. Erik sighed deeply and sat down in a pew. Father Michael sat next to him. Erik bottom lip began to quiver and tears began falling from his eyes.
Father Michael placed his hand on Erik’s shoulder. “I…I’m so sorry, Father.” Erik cried. He buried his masked face in his hands and wept. “I shouldn’t even be here. I’ve…killed men and I’m in a church looking for sanctuary.” Erik said, almost laughing to him self. Father Michael sighed deeply and nodded his head. “Yes, but I get the feeling that you regret doing those things unlike the other murderers who come to confess to me.” Father Michael pointed out. “Father, I have to do something.” Erik said to him quietly. “I have just…one more man to kill. Please…ask my mother for forgiveness.” Erik said before he stood up and began walking away.
“Why don’t you ask her yourself?” Father Michael called. Erik stopped dead in his tracks and turned around to face Father Michael. “She’s still buried in the cemetery, Erik. She would be happy to see you.” Father Michael said before he walked away.
Erik stood in front of the old broken tomb stone that held his mother’s name and date of birth and date of death. Erik knelt down and placed a white rose on her grave. “I know I haven’t been here since I was boy and I am truly sorry. I’ve killed many men since I’ve been gone and I regret it. I do ask God for his forgiveness because I don’t care what God thinks. The only thing I want is to let you know I am sorry for everything. If you were alive I hope you would forgive me. I have one more man to kill and if I fail then I guess will see before they throw me into hell. Good bye,” Erik said standing and walking from the graveyard to finish one last kill.
