Marco’s POVI woke up from a very unusual dream. It even felt real! I know I will sound foolish if I tell anyone about what I saw in my dreams. But even if I wanted to shout out to the world that an angel visited and spoke directly to me in my dream, I could never forget the risk and consequences of my action. “Do not let anyone else know about this conversation between me and you. Not even a single soul. Because if you do, it will be like sowing seeds into their minds. And those seeds might sprout no matter what soil they landed on. Good soil will grow good seedlings, but bad soil will also grow bad seedlings….” The angel said with patent warning. I did not understand the angel’s words right away, so I asked what the seedlings meant or what they represented in his message. “You can take it as the thoughts that might get created by anyone who would hear you speak about this conversation that we are having right now. Anyone to know the truth about what happened to your parents in th
Gab’s POV“I can’t really understand why I am feeling this way, but I feel like a strong force is dragging my feet to that place. I am afraid to say that even if you guys decide to stay behind, I might still go there on my own!” Skye replied to my words with her eyes directly looking at me straight in the eyes. I felt a sense of fear cloak me. Skye did not speak in a way like she was insisting on her decision. She even appeared hesitant but without a choice. This reminded me of the words said to me by Cassiel– the angel that spoke to me that night Skye and Marco were able to speak their hearts out. At first, I thought I was dreaming. But I can still remember vividly everything that happened that night. Especially everything that Cassiel told me. “I am here to tell you that you are playing a big role in all of these things that are happening in your surroundings. You were given a second chance to live when you took a bullet for your friend a long time ago. Like Marco, you have been
Skye’s POV“You are dearly loved by people surrounding you to the extent of sacrificing everything they have in order to keep you safe,” The voice spoke to me. I did not say anything. I was keenly listening. I was a bit afraid I would miss a word from her, but I was also a bit mesmerized by listening to the enigmatic sound of her voice. She sounded like a woman but also a bit of a man. I could not clearly identify if I should address the mystical being before as she or he. “But despite everything, you are the only one to decide for yourself….” the voice continued. I summoned all the courage in me to speak loud enough to be heard by whoever owned that mysterious voice with a blinding bright radiating all over its image. “What choice am I to make?” I asked. I felt like, finally, I found my voice and the strength to speak.“You are to choose if you want to return to earth and rule against the darkness despite the risk that you might fall into it deeply. Or, if you would give up huma
Matt’s POVI was able to take Skye out of that place in an ambulance. And fortunately, I was able to speak to the crew to have an exchange of IOUs with them. Marco was willing to do anything, so I made use of that chance to offer a blank slate for the three men in the ambulance who came to assist us, to say that they had a prank call and not put anything on the record. We asked to be dropped off somewhere else and moved from there through a different vehicle. I learned later that the runaway vehicle was actually on standby for situations like this. We brought Skye to Ted’s clinic. It was literally her home now, but we had to sneak our way in to make sure no one sees us or no one was able to tail us. I was able to stabilize Skye’s condition when she was in the medical vehicle. It made me feel more confident to treat her even though there were only Marco and Gab to assist me at the operating table. But in the middle of everything, when I thought she was doing well— I almost rejoiced
Skye’s POV“Mom Yofiel?.... Dad?” I was surprised to see them both. I looked around. “Isn’t this….?” I stammered when I had a good look at the surroundings. “Yes, sweetie. This is our home sweet home…!” Mom Yofiel gleefully said as she spread her arms widely, gesturing I come closer for a hug. “Oh, how I have missed this!” I uttered as I returned the warm and tight embrace she was giving me. The last time I felt her warm embrace was almost decades ago. “No, honey….” Mom Yofiel said, shaking her head, yet her face was beaming with joy. “Have you forgotten? We had exchanged hugs recently,” she added with patent confidence. “What?!” Dad Ted yelped helplessly. “You guys met without me?”“I was given orders to make her decide and make a choice after our warriors were able to catch her from eternal fire in the land of Nephilim. I wasn’t even sure why I would be given such a task when it was not among my designated jobs, but I complied, and I guess my obedience paid off. I realized it
Marco’s POVWhen Skye woke up from a few days of sleep– after Matt successfully removed every splinter of the broken wood that injured her, I was beyond overjoyed. “Hey….” I tried to speak as gently as I could manage. I was so excited to speak to her and ask her how she felt. I wanted to ask if she was hungry or thirsty, but I was so scared to upset her as she still had her hands covering both her ears. I moved closer, though. I thought if my words would be an inconvenience, I assumed my actions would be fine. “How do you feel?” Gab asked. I glared at him. But Gab felt my darting gaze on him, and he looked up to meet eyes with mine. Gab widened his eyes as if defensively asking me, “What?!”I was nagging at Gab with the way my eyes spoke to him. And although only through eye contact, we were arguing with Skye in between us on the bed. I was to her left, while Gab was to her right. I did not see Matt nearby, but I did not have the right mind to bother. “Matt, aren’t you going to ch
Gab’s POVI have never felt as relieved as I was the moment Skye woke up. I thought that was the most joyous moment in my life, but when she groaned, and we thought she was in pain, we all panicked. Seeing her shoulders shaking, with her hands covering her ears at first, then she covered her face. I was beyond convinced she was in agony. But we did not have any idea what to do. Until….“Haha!” Skye cackled. But it didn’t last long before her laughter turned into sorrowful and regretful whimpers. Then Skye started apologizing to all of us, including Matt. But Skye firmly stated that although she was apologetic, she was going to do the same thing about excluding Matt on the missions if she ever had to go back and decide about the same matter. Matt also made his conditions clear regarding accepting Skye’s apologies. And that was for Skye never to go on any mission with him as our own medical professional with us. I could not make my thoughts heard by any of them. ‘I definitely agree
Matt’s POVWhen Marco asked me to stay with Skye, he shouldn’t have said more than that. Because even if I were Skye, I would have felt like they were going to speak about something that concerns me somehow, but they did not want me to hear anything about it. ‘That’s ridiculous! He could have just said he needed Gab’s help. What he said triggered the curiosity of my patient, and now she was not taking a “no” for an answer and was demanding to hear everything Marco was going to discuss with Gab somewhere else!’I was on my toes the entire time we were seated at the dining table. I really hoped it wasn’t something that would shock her senses again, as she was literally still in the process of her recovery. That includes physical, mental, and all! But when she stood from her seat after asking Gab if there were more of the soup she was having, my reflexes to assist her made me spring up from my seat as well. I just realized a little later that I wasn’t the only one on alert. It turned o
