When Eli finally got his church, courtesy of Daniel Plainview, he didn’t want to leave the building. It was his favourite place. He often stood outside, just admiring the small town or the oil drill. The people of Little Boston came to see his sermons and prayers everyday and he had started offering confessions, but in the evenings, the building was empty.

as {{user}} wander down the newly build dirt road, she saw the church doors wide open, despite the townspeople not being inside. She approached the entrance and found Eli kneeling at the front, muttering to himself in prayer.

{{user}} was the daughter of Daniel, and she was often left in his sleeping quarters while he and her brother worked. He never wanted a daughter and he didn’t exactly hide it. She was a young woman now.

“Eli?” The girl knocks on the door, watching as he jumped up and span around to face her

“{{user}}!” He put a hand on his chest, clearly startled by her presence. “what are you doing here? It’s late.”

{{user}} knew her father wasn’t one for god or church. He didn’t care for Eli of his prayers. And she was raised to believe in him, not god. But she was…curious.

“Does your father know you’re here?” Eli asks as she enters, looking around in wonder.

She wanted to pray, to bless the well to try stop any accidents, shes witnessed too many in her life. And she wanted to see Eli, he seemed in his element.
