Chapter 26
Jerome's POV:
I stared at her in horror as I repeated her words in my mind, it was her time, her time...
"Nina, who told you that?" Nina's Gran asked, her voice trembling.
"It was him." she spoke in a whisper, her eyes like a black pit, tears streaming down her gentle face.
"Nina, did you see him?" she remained silent, time going still.
"NNNNOOOOO, GET AWAY!"
"My dear, it's ok." her Gran soothed walking slowly closer.
"What's happening to her?"
"The same thing that happened to her mother, she was warned." her eyes remembering painful memories.
"Warned about what?" I asked, hoping, praying that it wasn't what I thought.
"Has Nina become involved in something, something dangerous?" she spoke, her eyes piercing.
No, not that I know of." I said my voice shaking.
"Jerome, please I need to know." she said as she got closer to Nina.
"What was Nina's mom involved in?" I asked, trying to change the topic.
"That's the problem, I don't know."
"Why not, I thought you would've been close to your daughter."
"I sent her to boarding school when she was 8, I needed to get her away from her father, but when she came back she was distant, she rarely told me anything, she had always seemed different after she returned." she spoke slowly.
"Why did you need to keep her away from her father?" I asked.
"He was obsessed with this crazy idea that angels and demons existed." she said shaking her head.
"And you don't believe in them?" I asked.
"No, of course I do, but he was at the point where he was doing nothing, but trying to find them, he had become paranoid."
"When did he start acting like that?"
"A little after Eve, Nina's mother, was born." she said.
"Umm Gran, have you heard of an Amen?" I slowly asked her. Her eyes became wide.
"Where-where did you hear that?"
"I-I just found out that I'm one, and a very important one for that matter." I tried to sound strong, but my voice came out in a whisper.
"Amen...amen...amen." Nina started to repeat.
"Amen means "so be it", so why does she keep repeating It." her Gran asked, full of confusion.
"It's my time...so be it ." I said.
"Gran, what happened after your daughter was warned?" though deep inside I already knew the answer.
"She-she died 2 weeks after they told her."
"Did she tell you they warned her?"
"No, I overheard her and-"
"And what?"
"Her and Adam." I stared at her in shock.
"Adam and Eve..."
"Nina, what do you hear?" I asked calmly.
"I hear...I hear him, his voice was like death itself." her voice trembled.
"He's finally come." James said in my head.
"Who's come?"I said aloud.
"Anubis."
