Disclaimer:
I do not own Left Behind: The Kids, they belong to Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. If I did own this series then we would have a book 41 and a TV series. Plus Judd and Vicki would have gotten together a long time ago.
Summary:
An old friend of Vicki's has arrived in Avery, Wisconsin with a truckload of equipment and supplies. But he also brought a surprising partner with an amazing story that will shock the Young Tribulation Force and show them that God really does work in mysterious ways.
A/N:
I am currently a college student so my schedule will be a bit on the unexpected side of things. So I want to make a couple of things very clear to you guys.
1. No matter what I will never abandon this story
2. I should have my 1st official chapter up sometime next week but don't expect a regular schedule after that.
Prologue: Nervousness and a Mystery
1:00 A.M. 6 hours outside of Avery
In the passenger seat of the eighteen-wheeler, a young woman in her early 20s is unable to sleep because of the nervousness building up in her stomach that is threatening to burst. So instead of worrying, she looks out the window and hopes that her "friends" in Avery will forgive her for all the trouble she caused them in the past. She also wonders if she should have stayed in Petra instead of coming to America.
Why didn't she stay? Because she had become a bit attached to a truck driver she had met back in Israel and partnered with during Operation Eagle. He had become something of a father figure to her after he helped her with some rough spots when she first became a Christian. So when he felt called to go back to the States and continue driving trucks around the country to deliver much-needed supplies to other believers, she decided to go with him. She didn't care about all the danger in this line of work because, for the first time in her life, she felt like she was truly doing some good in this messed up world that was only going to get worse until Jesus came back.
"What are you thinking about kiddo?"
Speak of the devil (no pun intended).
"I'm just thinking about how hard it is to believe that it's been so long since either of us has been to this part of the country."
The driver then gave her a look that clearly said in multiple languages, "You are a very bad liar. Now come on and tell me what's bugging you."
"I know what you're thinking and, yes, my skills in the art of lying are still quite sharp. You just wouldn't understand," she sighed.
"That you're nervous about seeing your friends and how they'll react to seeing you after all this time?"
Mouth hanging open she asked, "How did you…?"
"Lucky guess." He shrugged. "Look, I know you're worried about this whole thing, but you shouldn't be. I know Vicki and she's not going to hate you. In fact, she'll be the first one to start dancing as crazy as King David did when she sees the mark of God on your forehead."
"But the others…"
"No buts kid. They will forgive you and everything will be all right. So hop in the back and get some sleep, ok? I want you in tip-top shape when we get there. The sooner we unload this stuff, the sooner you can tell everyone your story."
She smiled and rolled her eyes at him but crawled into the back anyway. She then turned and said, "Goodnight Deacon, or is it good morning?"
"Get to sleep Miss Politically Correct or I'll leave you on the side of the road," he laughed.
Shaking her head and chuckling in amusement as she settled into the canopy bed, she realized then that she was pretty tired after all. As she drifted off, her last thought before finally succumbing to the dream world was, "God, I know Deacon is right and all, but I still can't shake the uneasiness and the guilt I'm feeling. Please be with me when we get there and give me peace about whether they will forgive me or not. Something tells me that I will need all the peace I can get later today."
Deacon is back and he is bringing a girl along with him. Who is she and how does she know Vicki and the others?
And what has Deacon been up too since book 5? Find out next week and be sure to leave a review or two with your guess as to who our mystery girl could be. Winner gets honorable mention in next week's chapter. I hope you all enjoy this story of mine and have a great day.
Sincerely,

P.S. The only reason this is short is because it's a prologue so the rest of my story will be at least 1000-1500 words per chapter.
