I shot up from the bed panting and crying...Joseph was dead. I felt something in my hand and I looked to see I had drawn the whole thing, I could have been an artist when I grew up, I was rather good at it, I sighed and stared at one of my older drawings of a yellow car, I didn't know exactly what it meant but it either happened or was going to happen soon
"When I grow up, I'm going to have all the money in the world" Job said, I looked over the bed and found they were both playing monopoly while listening to a record and wearing adult clothes, I smiled a little and let myself forget about the vision for the time being "Me too" Sarah said "You can't" Job said "Why not?" she asked annoyed
"Because I'm gonna have it" Job said "I'll get it first" Sarah said, they started arguing and I giggled "You could both split it and have the same" I said sitting next to Sarah, they both looked at me and shook their heads "I got a great idea, how about we pretend this guy is Isaac and then we'll put him in jail" Job said using one of the monopoly pieces
"What if he gets a get-out-of-jail-free card?" Sarah asked, I giggled and Job threw away the card's "What card?" he asked, they both laughed until a knife impaled itself into the board game, we all stopped smiling and slowly looked up to Malachai...uh oh.
After witnessing it all Malachai took us straight to Isaac, we've always been let off for our non-belief because we weren't there the day he-who-walks-behind-the-rows made himself known, but I wasn't sure how long they would keep letting us off for it "I found these 3 in one of the old homes, they had a game and music. And this" Malachai said,
he pulled the car drawing I had done out of his belt before handing it to Isaac "They come already" he said, he looked at us and motioned me forward, I glanced at Sarah and Job before walking forwards and standing in front of Isaac,
I stared at his feet being to afraid to look him in the eyes "You have the gift of sight, this is a blessing my child" he said stroking my chin, I looked up at him "I've seen this car upon the road" Malachai said "Go to the old man, make sure he tells them nothing" Isaac said
"What about these 3?" Malachai asked, I knew he was talking about us and I glanced at my younger siblings nervously "The girl with the sight will wait here. Take the other two back where they were" Isaac said "But they had a game and music, that's forbidden"
Malachai exclaimed "Question me not Malachai, I act according to his will" Isaac snapped, Malachai reluctantly nodded and dragged Job and Sarah out, he shut the door so I was left with Isaac and my nervousness turned to worry
"You should not fear me" he said, his voice was so calming that it scared me "I can't help it" I whispered, I hadn't spoken to any one much since the adults were killed and the only people I had spoken freely to was Job and Sarah, so when speaking to anyone other than' them my voice would come out quiet or whispered
"What is you're name?" he asked curiously "Sabina" I replied, he nodded and motioned that I sit on the chair, I sat down and placed my hands in my lap while sitting up straight "How do these 'signs' work?" he asked circling me "I dream them. They are not always clear though" I said shakily
"Mhmm, and how long have you been having them?" he asked "For 3 years, they started when the adults were killed" I said trying to calm my shaking hands by gipping my apron "I remember you now. You were outside the café when I ordered Malachai and the others to dispose of the adults. I should have seen it then when you fell to the floor" he said from behind me, I nodded and felt him playing with my hair
"You are very beautiful Sabina. How old are you?" he asked, I tensed "13" I replied "You will be great use to us" he said, I nodded "You may leave now" he said, I stood up rather fast and felt my waist long hair slip from his hand "Sabina?" he asked, I turned around "We will be keeping an eye on you" he said, he raised my hand and kissed my knuckles, I nodded before running out of the building as fast as I could.
