We soon arrived at a hospital in Houston, Texas. I was definitely confused on why we were here. "What are we doing here at the hospital?" I asked. Ever since my families death, I've hated hospitals.
"There was a woman from my vision and she's here at this hospital." Josh answered. I nodded.
"All right, then let's go find this woman so we can leave. You know I can't stand hospitals." I said. Josh nodded and he took my hand and went inside. I couldn't help but savor this feeling.
We went to different rooms but couldn't find her. We went to one room that was playing the news and we saw Senior on the news. "He may be strong in spirit, but my poor son thinks he died. And he's just not right in his mind. And I apologize for his disturbing and unacceptable conduct. We just pray that he gets all the help he desperately needs." He said. I shook my head, that bastard.
"Come on Josh. Let's find this woman before he makes me puke." I said grabbing his arm and leaving. We walked until Josh stopped. "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to the Chapel." Josh said. I looked above me and saw a direction sign that pointed to a chapel in the hospital. I nodded. Josh headed that way and I followed silenty. I hated seeing Josh go through this, he didn't deserve this but I know there's a purpose to it, after all, the Lord does things for a reason. We arrived at the Chapel and I sat down a few rows back to give Josh his privacy. "Heavenly Father, please help me. I've lost everything. Is Dad right? Am I out of my mind? Or are these visions real? Please, God. Help me to understand your plan." I stood up and walked over to him.
"Josh, you're not out of your mind. I believe there is a purpose for these things to happen. When you died and came back, you learned how your Father truly is. And I think there's a reason you've been granted this gift. Sure, I won't understand any of this but I believe there's a reason we're here right now, we just gotta find it." I said while putting my hand over his. He smiled a little.
"Thanks Amber, I seriously don't know what I would do without you." Josh said. I smiled back and leaned my head against his shoulder.
"No prob." I said. Suddenly, the doors open and three people walked in. One was a man, the other a woman and a little girl, and they looked out of breath. Then, a teenage boy stood up from behind the pews. Was he here the whole time? Then ahead of us, two women appeared from the back. One was in a hospital gown and was colored and the other was a blonde.
"You're the woman from my vision." Josh said looking at the hospital clad woman.
"Yes, I am and you are the messengers." She said while smiling. Wait, what?
"We're the what?" The blonde asked.
"We're the Angels of the Apocalypse." Hospital woman said. Okay, I'm just gonna give them names. I'm calling her Rose. Blondie is gonna be Vera. The teenage boy is gonna be Peter. The lady and the little girl were gonna be Erin and Amy, and the guy next to them is gonna be Raul. I don't know why I picked those names, they just sounded right.
"Guys, a little something that she's neglecting to mention. She just woke up from a seven year coma." Vera said looking at us. Peter was about to leave until Rose said something that shocked me.
"No, wait, Peter." Rose said and I looked on shocked. That's the name I gave him in my head, but how did I... "Joshua, Raul, Erin." We all looked on shocked. The exact names and people I thought of. What in the world? How did I know their names? I've never seen them before in my life. I was snapped out of my thoughts as Rose continued, "What Vera's telling you is true. But yesterday you all died and now, here you are." She started.
"Okay, sweetie. You want to play a little game, okay?" Erin said to her daughter, taking her out of the conversation. I don't blame her, I wouldn't want my children to hear that I died.
"You mean, I'm not going crazy?" Josh asked. I looked at him shocked. Didn't I tell him he wasn't going crazy? "Something's really happening here, am I right?"
"God is angry, so he's giving us a test." Rose said. I was speechless about the whole situation.
"I am so not down with that." Peter said.
"Well, you'd better be, because this is prophecy we're talking about." Rose said. Prophecy? I thought about the bible and it hit me.
"You mean the Book of Revelation?" I asked curiously.
"Different religions call it different things, but God's message is pretty much the same no matter how you slice it. This is the beginning of the end." Rose explained and I got scared a little. This is not what I was expecting to hear.
"You need to stop wasting my time. You said you'd give me answers. You tell me where the man is who took my son." Vera said angrily. Her son was missing?
"That is no man. He is the devil." Rose said. I froze at that.
"Wait. You mean like the Devil devil?" Peter asked shocked.
"You thought it was a meteor, but that was Satan being cast down from Heaven once again." Rose explained. This was crazy as hell.
"Hi, I'm an atheist." Vera said. Well, I couldn't say nothing to that. Even when I was a child, I didn't believe in God even though I was friends with Josh. But after my families death, I changed my views.
"You shouldn't doubt the Devil's presence. He's a wicked son of a bitch." Rose said. I couldn't help but laugh to myself. There was no way I was laughing out loud during this serious discussion and embarrass myself. "And he will play on every last one of your worst fears and insecurities." That's when the laughter died in my head. I had plenty of insecurities and fears. I hadn't realized my hand was shaking until Josh grabbed my hand and held it. I squeezed in appreciation. "You of all people should know that." She finished, looking at Vera.
"What is she talking about?" I asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter. I'm calling the cops." Vera said.
"It's been seven years. Have they helped you find Michael? We're the only hope you have of finding your son." Rose said as Vera froze.
"Okay, even if any of this was remotely legitimate, why us?" Erin asked.
"If people like us can somehow figure out a way to work together, maybe the world deserves to be saved." Rose answered.
"Saved from what exactly?" Raul asked.
"The Rapture. When God reclaims the faithful and leaves the forsaken behind." Josh explained.
"But how are we supposed to stop something like that?" Raul asked.
"By using the special gifts he has given all of us." Rose answered. "The power to heal, incredible strength, an ability to hear thoughts, and the gift of prophetic vision." She continued. Not once did she look at me. So I guess I'm not a Messenger, so why am I here? Although I noticed that Vera wasn't looked at neither.
"Apparently I'm the only one with the gift of sanity." Vera said. I rolled my eyes. She was definitely getting on my last nerve.
"Your gift will reveal itself when you're ready." Rose said to her.
"Right. That makes perfect sense." Vera said sarcastically.
"So, if I'm not a messenger, why am I here?" I asked. If God has a purpose for them, why was I here?
"That I do not know but I sense something special about you, Amber. I believe your reason will reveal itself when the time is right." Rose said while smiling at me comfortingly. I just nodded. There was something about her I didn't trust but I would stay quiet about it...for now.
"What about you?" Erin asked.
"God has given me the gift of understanding." Rose answered.
"Understanding what?" Raul asked. She then started speaking Spanish.
"What did she say?" Peter asked.
"She understands whatever God wants her to." Raul answered.
"In every language known to man." Rose elaborated.
"Okay, well, understand this. You need medical attention." Then she turned to us. "And you four are crazy if you believe a word that she is saying." She must have added me into that little group. "And you, I know who you are." She said looking at Josh. "You're a Bible-thumper who probably believes that she's-,"
"Woah, you need to watch your mouth." I intervened stepping closer to her. I've heard enough of her judgments. Suddenly, Josh fell over and I groaned. "Not again." I say kneeling down next to Josh.
"What's wrong with him?" Vera asked.
"He's having a seizure." Erin said.
"No he's not." I said. "He's-,"
"He's having a vision." Rose said. I glared at her for interrupting me but didn't say anything. I really didn't like her. Eventually, his vision ended and he came back. "Tell us what you saw." She said. We then heard yelling outside the chapel and everyone started leaving. Josh and I eventually left.
"I need to talk to Vera." Josh said. I sighed.
"Why, what did you see?" I asked.
"I saw her son." Josh said and I nodded.
"Josh, earlier, I think I freaked myself out." I said thinking back to the fact I knew their names before they even said them.
"Amber, it's okay to be scared. This is a serious situation." Josh said putting his hands on my shoulder.
"No, not about that even though it is scary. Josh, I knew their names before we heard them from Rose." I explained.
"Wait, what?" Josh asked.
"I gave them names in my head and when Rose said them aloud, it matched the names I had given them. It was weird." I said while sighing.
"We'll figure this out. I promise. Like Rose said, you have a role in this, we just have to find out what it is." Josh said. I nodded. "Now, we need to find Vera before she leaves. Let's go." Josh said and I nodded and followed him to the parking lot. Just what is going here?
And that's the end. Sorry it doesn't have a lot of Josh/OC since its the whole being a messenger scene. Please read and review and let me know what you think. I would love to hear your thoughts see you next chapter. :)
