"In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, Amen"

A young girl kneeled in the church making the sign of the cross. She was terrified, shaking, tears running down her face.

"God, if you can hear me, if you love me, then please help me!" She sobbed.

She took a deep breath, pulled herself to her feet, and wiped her tears.
"Please save me"
Her name was Gaia Katims. She was 16 years old and a devout catholic. The only thing she ever believed in was God he was her saviour. She was an orphan her mother had abandoned her. They didn't even know who her father was.
Gaia had suffered a hard life but she believed in the greater good of the lord. That is until today.
It was a dream but it was a terrible dream…

It was dark all so very dark, she stood alone in an empty street wearing a black silken gown. Her feet were bare, the wind whipping around her delicate form. She was frightened this dream seemed so real yet she knew she was sleeping.
"Hello…" She called out causing an echo.
There was no reply…She walked slowly and carefully searching for some form of existence.
She turned a corner and saw something evil…It grinned at her an evil grin full of malice. It was large and looked almost burned. It resembled a human but was more dog like. Gaia began to back away slowly but it was to late it had already seen her.
"Master…" It growled.
"NO! No, I'm not your master"
Again the thing began to snigger inching closer and closer to the shivering girl. Finally it enclosed its long bonny fingers around her wrist.
Blood… A river of blood flowing through the street. The sun burned black and the streets were lined with demonic creatures. She saw humans being tortured it was terrifying.

Gaia had woken in a cold sweet shaking and crying. She had dressed quickly and ran straight to the church she now stood in.
What had her vision meant? Was she really this creatures master? The images she had seen seemed so real. Gaia had heard of premonitions through dreams but she had no idea what to do.
Who was she to confide in? Her foster parents were Catholic's like her, how would they react to her dream? No, she had to find someone else someone who knew of this type of thing. She knew exactly where to go.
He stood with a boy a little older than herself. He wore a black suit, white shirt and black tie. He looked so tired but remained in a tall stance.

"Listen to me Chas! This is serious you can't just rush into it. Look you can read all the books in the world but they wont prepare you for the real thing"
The boy just laughed and shook his head.
"You're so protective John"
He just rolled his eyes looking in my direction.
Now was my chance She approached him with caution these people has strange belief's but who else was she to turn to?
"Excuse me." She said softly looking at the man named John.
He looked straight at her sensing her fear and seeing the sadness in her eyes he motioned for her to go on.
"I need your help can we talk somewhere"
He nodded yet again walking towards a cab parked in the street.
"Wait here." He said to the boy beside him.
He got into the cab and opened the passenger door for Gaia to get in.
"So what seems to be the problem"
"I had a vision… I don't know if it was a premonition or if it was even real but it felt so real. There was this thing it looked, demonic… He told me I was its master and then I saw horrible images. I saw a river of blood running through the street, the sun turned black, the streets were filled with those things and I saw us, humans in cages. What could it mean"
The man looked seriously at the girl for a long while.
"The underworld could be planning something, if she is in someway connected she could be useful…" He muttered to himself.
Gaia looked desperately at this handsome stranger praying for his help.
"Okay, I'll help. Chas get in"
"Thank you." She cried relief washing over her.
"Just be ready for a whole load of shit!" He choked.

The taxi sped off towards a bowling ally in downtown LA. It's occupants oblivious to the chaos already in motion.
