The Father always seemed like such a majestic being, presiding over the Holy Eucharist and, rarely, listening to confessions of little girls like her. Most of the time the girls used the younger priests who spent a few months at the Sacred Heart School before moving on. At least, she knew she wouldn't be beaten. Other girls wouldn't talk about what happened with Father Todd, but there were whispered stories. If the sisters rapped knuckles with rulers or sometimes used a paddle, the Father didn't interfere, but that wasn't his way. His was the dunce cap, or a necklace that carried words like "Liar" or "Cheat." Shame and humilation was his style, not pain. Sister Arlene had caught her in the library copying answers from Lisa's homework paper. Lisa was in trouble, too, but she didn't get sent to Father Todd. Jill nervously checked over her school uniform to make sure she looked right, smoothing her long, brown hair and straightening the waistband of her skirt. Just as she adjusted her scarf, she heard a low voice call, "Enter!" Even though he sat behind a desk, Jill felt that Father Todd towered over her as she sat herself in a hard, wooden chair. He demanded her confession and she replied in a low voice, staring at the floor, trying not to sob. She tried not to shrink back as he quietly spoke of her transgression. He held up the infamous "Cheat" necklace, and Jill choked out the words, "Please, Father, not that." Jill didn't actually care about wearing the necklace or, at least, not that much. But she knew her mom and dad would hear about it. "You must do pennance, child. It shows pride bordering on evil to think that you must be the perfect student. And it is sinful to take another's work like that. You must be humbled before God." "I know, Father. Please don't make me wear that." "So you will accept a different pennance before God? Whatever I deep appropriate to redeem your soul?" Jill looked up hopefully at the priest. "Yes, Father." "As a priest, I am not truly a man, but for the moment I will serve as one. You must humble yourself by exposing your girlish secrets to me. Lift your skirt!" Shocked, Jill stared at the priest. "Father?" she asked, timidly. "If you won't humble yourself before the school, humble yourself before me and before God! Lift your skirt and spread open your legs!" Jill felt her face turn red with shame. She slowly lifted the pleated skirt, uncovering her long legs. She paused. The priest sat up in his chair, and Jill felt as if he was crouching over her from behind his desk. He lifted the necklace again so she could see it. With a loud sigh, she complied. "To finish your penance, you must say ten Hail Marys while you humble yourself further. Will you do this?" "Yes, Father." Jill felt limp, her spirit broken. "Place your fingertips on the bottom of your underpants. No, farther down. Good. Now rub right there as you recite ten Hail Marys. Try it." "Hail Mary fullofgrace..." Jill obediently recited as she stroked the crotch of her nylon panties. As she finished the first Hail Mary, Father Todd said, "Good. If you are old enough and you seek God's forgiveness with a pure heart, then you might feel the Holy Spirit come upon you. Do nine more Hail Marys, but you may stop if you feel the Holy Spirit overtake you." Jill wasn't sure what he meant. She'd felt a religious spirit overtake her when singing favored hymns, and thought she knew what to expect. But she'd never touched herself Down There. Her mother told her not to. But Father Todd was a priest. As she started her third Hail Mary, Jill relaxed into the chair, spreading her slim legs wider. Her fingers seemed to seek a special place, and her hips started rocking back and forth in a smooth rhythmn. As she stroked and rubbed, Father Todd sank back into his chair, his hands falling into his lap. As she started her fourth Hail Mary, it seemed like the father was also moving in his chair, matching her rhythmn. A soft, tingly feeling was growing inside as Jill prayed and stroked. Maybe the Holy Spirit would overtake her as Father Todd had said. Her back was a little sore from the wooden chair and her fingers were getting stiff, but it didn't really merit much attention. She couldn't stop, and she didn't really want to. When Jill glanced at Father Todd, she saw that he, too, was in some sort of meditation, but now he carried a much faster rhythmn than she did. His lips seemed to speak the Hail Marys along with her, but his face was tight and his hand seemed occupied with something in his lap. "Blessed ... art thou ... among women, ..." Jill was finding it harder to say her Hail Marys. She wondered if this was the work of the Holy Spirit. She tried to concentrate on the words as her fingers flew, but was interrupted by a loud groan. She looked up at Father Todd. He had stopped rocking in his chair and he was gasping for breath. Was he having a heart attack? Jill knew that older men could die from that. She'd seen it on TV. "And at ... the hour .... of our deaths." Finishing the prayer, Jill gasped out "Amen!" and wondered if she was seeing Death right now. She opened her mouth to start another Hail Mary, but Father Todd lifted his hand, stopping her. "Child, you will have to come back and finish later." Jill's heart gave a thump. How could she go through this shame and humilation all over again? But she felt a little tingle in her thighs. And she wouldn't have to wear that necklace. "After you have dressed for bed, come down to the chapel. Tell the sister that you have to do pennance. She will take you there." She was dismissed. Jill bit her lip, then hopped off the chair. After smoothing her skirt, she stood up straight as she had been taught and said, "Thank you, Father." Then she turned and left. ***** Feel free to copy and/or modify this work and redistribute it as long as you acknowledge that the new work copies some content from this story.
