Nora Turner

Bekka held her breath as Reese delivered the news but not the kind she was hoping for. Her eyes closed tightly as she exhaled the grief. 

Nora shook her head. “No, Reese that’s not right. He’s not dead.” She said turning and looking at the people. “I don’t feel like he’s not breathing.” Her water line filled with tears. “He’s not dead! Test again!” She said and a few officers came over to console her and calm her down from the scene that was clearly upsetting Bekka. Nora shoved them away from her. “Don’t--” She said and walked out of the building to have a moment alone. Meanwhile Nova sobbed and went into Reese chest. “Old wounds can’t seem to heal around here. But I’m sure as glad your legs did. Good job pumpkin.”

Nora slid down the brick wall behind the station in the alley and pulled her legs to her chest and cried silently which turned to vocally before she was going to be able to stop needing to release her emotions.

Dusty and Rusy caught wind of what had happened to their squeeze and they were’t about to let it go down like that. Dusty Bust through that old door like a cowboy challenging a duel he knew he’d win. “Excuse me Brothers in Christ. I think you have something that is mine.” He laughed and Rusty ran over to Nora. “We’re taken her. and if you have a problem with that you can take it up with the Lord face to face.” He winked at Howard and Noah. 

Nora looked down at her baby girl as the placed and she cries because she feared what her upbringing would look like if Nora didn’t get them out of here soon. “No! Her name is Briair.” She kept it short with him. “ I want my son.” She said to Howard. “I just put him to sleep it is far too late for a child to be up at this time of night. He was disgusting putting Spencer to bed. “I see.” Nora nods.  

“Brother Noah,” He nods, “Nora, Jesus was born in a manger...Then you can give birth here. Wouldn’t you agree?” Nora wanted to die. “Yes. You’re right Howie.” She nods Let the women from the church gather around and Pray with their hands upon you as you bring this gift from the heavens into this wretched world. The women do as Howard said. It had been hours and hours of this Nora was sweating as she was dilated and pushing. Nick was going to miss the birth of his first child and it was all because she didn’t bother to tell him of this part of her past. This fucked up family. Nora grunts loudly and takes a deep breath before pushing once more harder as she screams because the pain as so intolerable  with all these bitches praying around her. “The child! She is born,” A woman proclaims and Briar let out a cry. Nora cried because she was worried about the kids and herself how were they going to ever get out of this hell? The ladies rushed around Nora getting her decent as one lady alerted Noah and Howard to come into the room. “Give me my baby, Give me my baby!” She said to the ladies. “Noah! I want to hold me baby!” she was pissed more than a mama cat being bothered by a possum.

Nora jerked the obituary from Noah’s hands reading it intensely and then again and once more. It just couldn’t be. Nora didn’t feel like Dman was dead. Nora had a connection with Dman and he was the first man she ever loved and she just couldn’t except the fact that he was dead because he wasn’t. “He was cast into the lake of fire.” She said and nods to agree with Noah. “I need medical attention. The lord has sent Doctors to us for a reason.”

Noah came back home with Spencer and smiled. “Nora Sister may we speak?” He asked handing Spencer off to Howard. “I know you’ve seen improvement this past week but for the last few days I wondered if you have felt a disturbance leave your soul.. your environment a weight lifted off your shoulders should I say?”

“Splendid idea Noah! Nora and I have some rekindling to do.” He said leading Nora away from Spencer and Noah but at least Howard couldn’t touch him that way. Howard got Nora alone and done the expected to her as she lay there without interacting because she was a woman not that she’d want to interact with Howard. Howard came inside her and Nora stood up. “I’m going to clean myself up.” She said and had a shower and cried because she hated that this life always found it’s way back to her and now it was messing with her kids. Nora got dressed and stepped back out into the room with Howard. I wonder if Nick is looking for me yet? Nora thought to herself as she fake smiles at Howard.

Hopefully Spencer was still too young to remember this right? Nora was triggered by the dress but happy to have all of that blood off her body. “Like a woman of God.” She said taking the dress. Howard stepped in. “Brother Noah it has been a day of worship has it not and a successful one at that.” He placed his hand on the small of Nora’s back showing dominance towards her. “And the child she is bearing tight now how does this work in the eyes of our Father?”

Well if Spencer was scared for life now he would be as she held him up as Noah said, Nora just wanted this awful ritual out of the way. Nora wasn’t smiling from the moment the blood spilled over them but she had to stay in character if they smiled she would also. “Thank you both and the church for placing myself and son back in the right direction.” She said pulling Spencer back into her chest away from the fire.

Noah couldn’t have been more pleased with his sisters Revelation. “THEN YOU SHALL BE!” He said and they backed up and headed to the back door leading Nora the all aligned at the door on each side and all the way out to a circle around a fire pit built on the ground burning hot. Noah walked in front of his sister all the way to the fire and took a dagger from a by standing church fellow. “Thank you, brother.” He said and they led a black Ram over to Nora. “If your words speak truth sister then you must prove them to the lord.” Noah wanted her to sacrifice the Ram. “If you remember our Dads life teachings you’ll know what to do.” Noah hands her the knife. “Repent sister, but remember you have to meant it.

Of course blood has to shed. “I must repent...” She said holding the dagger up. Oh how bad she wanted to sacrifice them all instead of the ram. Nora looked over at Spencer he was scared and she felt awful and wanted to console him. “I do mean it,” She said and slit the neck of the Ram and dropped the dagger. “May I hold my son now? please.”

If only Noah knew about her cunt tattoo, she laughed on the inside. “We should rid her from these markings brother Noah?” Howard asked only cause he wanted to inflict pain on Nora in the rightful eyes of Noah of course. Nora gave her angry, tested eyes towards Howard. “We all make mistakes. That’s why we need Jesus so we can be forgiven. Man should not try to play God.” She watched as the doors opened and her eyes widened. Holy shit. This was really happening and there are others involved. “Let me go Noah! Noah get me the hell out of here!! Burn in hell all of you!” She tugs and struggled in the chair she was tied to as she screamed. But now after her actual reaction had be done now was the time to give them the reaction they wanted. A positive response to her so called exorcism. Nora grunted, flickering her eyes before rolling them into the back of her head and letting out a wicked piercing cry, as her body convulsed for show of course. “Forgive me father!” She yelled. “Forgive me, for I have sinned!” She shouted to the people and looked over at Noah. “I want to be born again.” 

Dimitri left the hospital right after he said goodbye to Bekka. It was dark by then and he was one his way to the station when his car jolted as if someone had run into the back of him but there were no headlights when he looked in the rear view mirror but it happened again and it was clear someone was doing this on purpose. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” Before Dimitri’s Car could even shift gears to do anything about it he was hit off the road and unable to regain control of the vehicle tossing it off the embankment  smashing the front end of the car into the ground whip lashing Dimitri’s head into the wheel. His vision went black and his ears rang with a high pitch whistle and his head throbbed the kind of pain that makes you have trouble understanding even the drop of a pen. As his vision came back though it was double he managed to grab the door handle and push it open he slowly stumbled out of the car and grabbed his gun from his holster looking around. “If I see.” He breathed. “I’m gonna kill you. So don’t mess around if you plan on having a life after this.” His vision cut in and out and he wasn’t the most stable on his feet but he was trying not to show it. Then Suddenly he felt a sharp pitch in his arm and his legs start go out from under him and two men caught him he heard them talking and it sounded like Nora’s brother Noah. Howard he’s not all the way out is that okay? Noah Questioned cause they were kind of messing up but still they were struggling but managing to carry Dimitri’s limp body up the hill to Jane’s car. Dimitri could hear them but he couldn’t do anything but he was sure he heard Nora call out his name but he was in no position to understand just what was happening.

Nora pulled away to look up at him. “You-you left Spencer...you forgot about him” Nora wondered if it had anything to do with Spencer not biologically being his so he might have felt not as responsible for Spencer. “You need to brush up on being a mindful dad.” She said rubbing her belly. “At least you’re getting some practice in.” She touched his face. “I love you baby,” She kissed him. “I’ll pick Spencer up on the way back what’s a few more minutes.” she half joked. “Just stay here in case Nova needs something. Nora smiles and waved bye as she walked out the door with Dimitri.

“I thank you not to touchy me.” Nora said to Chip when he patted her head. “Well since it’s for my grandkiddo,” She looked over at the rotteness that Dimitri was holding in his arms. “Grammy will report back here no later than 30 minutes with a bag of goodies for the foodies and of course your overnight bag.” She kissed Nova on the side of the head. “Love you.” She said and stood up walking over to Dimitri and looking at the baby. “I’m going to let Nick know I’m leaving.” She brushed Arthur’s rosy cheeks before walking over to Nick’s room.

 “There’s my sexy bullet magnet. What’s with you lately? I’m starting to think you have a lead fetish.” she joked. “How’re you doing? You had me worried. I’m lucky that you’re okay.” she hugged her husband. “I have to run back to Nova’s place and pick up some stuff for them... Nick...where is Spencer?” She had left him with Nick while he was playing f13.
