Chapter 5: "The Angels Watch"
It is a Saturday afternoon… And the Angel's are assigned to just watch Nina, and Cypher. Kate, knew that Monica wasn't going to be there today.. In the room where Nina and Cypher are, the Angels are observing, and discussing all that is going on.
Nina: Well the Bible says You must be the man of the house, you need to be the one that is strong! The reason why I am the way I am, is because of you!
Cypher: Well, the Bible also says that everyone is responsible for there own selfish actions in the end times.
Nina: Do you dare tell me what the Bible says! You use it just to hang things over my head! 15 years ago, you slept with that woman and I know you did!
Cypher: That was 15 years ago! I have changed. I wasn't a Christian then!
Nina: Let me tell you something Mister! You still aren't!
Cypher: Why don't I just throw this away then? If I never will be a Christian then what is the use of having a Bible around.
Nina: You do it!
Cypher: Why do you act like I'm hanging things over your head that comes from the Bible?
Nina: Because you are!
Cypher: Hun, no I'm not. I am just trying to show you what it says.
Nina: No! You take things in the Bible, and twist it to fit what you want!
Cypher: Hun, you will be watching the preaching shows, on TBN, and sit there, and if it has the minister has anything to say, that you disagree with, you sit there and justify it, by saying the minister is wrong, and it is okay, if you are someone like you…. Then you say if it something you want someone else to do, you make them listen, but if it says anything about how you are acting, you disagree, and you always justify how you act.
Nina: Me? You fu Ba!
Tess: This is how it always is.
Monica: Is there anything we can say to make her realize?
Tess: I'm afraid not… She wouldn't believe us if we told her anything..
Monica: She is acting like she is the judge of all.. But in the Bible it says, no one has the right to judge others.. that God is the only one who has the right to do that, on Judgment Day.
Tess: You're exactly right Angel Girl.. But she doesn't use the Bible to help people, nor does she use it to help herself.. She uses it, to use people.
Gloria: How can she be this way?
Tess: Oh, there are more people in this world, like her… she isn't the only one..
Monica: And no matter what, this lady is right… or that is how she sees herself..
Tess: Now you're catching on Angel Girl! That's exactly why Kate has stopped talking what is on her mind, out loud. Everything in her mind, stays there. And it's like she has a whole library of voices that are friends, in her mind.. She talks inside her mind all the time.. She even can get answers from there..
Monica: What do you mean?
Tess: She prays to God, and she does it in her mind.. And she is very good, at closing out what goes on around her… Therefore even in a loud environment, she can still concentrate.. And just like us… She can hear God… Although…..
Monica: What?
Tess: She believes it all in her mind, but when the reality sets in, she don't know what was really real… Just like that first night you showed up.. She had no clue, after that night if it was all real or not..
Monica: But it was..
Tess: I know.. but that is just one of the problems this lady has set in place for this young lady.
Andrew: Nina, also controls Cypher's every word, and step.. And when she can't it makes her even madder. That is why he is always in the room.. The only one he is allowed to talk to is Nina… And he isn't allowed to take a shower, or eat, or sleep, or do anything without her permission.. She even tells him what he is allowed to read, and what he isn't allowed to read in the Bible. And she has tried to do the same thing with Kate.. But Kate saw it happening to Cypher, so she tried her best to stand her ground for the freedom in this house.
Monica: She wasn't always like this?
Andrew: No… She hasn't.. But I don't know what changed her… When she started acting this way, she used to blame it on all the stress she had… now its just all everybody else's fault.
Gloria: We have to do something to stop her.
Tess: There is nothing we can do right now..
Gloria: What good are we, if we can't?
Tess: We are here to comfort Kate…
Andrew: Not only has Kate tried to commit suicide many times, but so has Cypher, the only thing is.. Nina wants them to, so she will give them the things that they would need to kill themselves, and then tell them to go do it… Kate refused every time.. but after hearing Nina tell her that all the time.. She felt like she should be dead anyways, because no one cared if she lived, not even her mom…
Gloria: What about Cypher?
Andrew: He never really did anything that could kill him… all he did was stab himself, but not anything that could kill him..
Gloria: So he didn't want to die?
Andrew: (smiles) Now you are reading between the lines… And he didn't want to die, but he didn't want away from Nina, but he also loves her so much that he wouldn't leave her… … But something Kate has never been able to figure out, is why Cypher get out of this place… But as the times have passed, she has never really cared about if he left anymore, because if he did, Nina would just tear into Kate even more.. Kate knew that.
Gloria: That is horrible.
Monica: What was it like here before Nina changed how she acted.
Tess: A few fights, but nothing this serious.. they were a normal everyday family.. But even then, she still had actions, and thoughts, of getting pleasure by other's pain.. Just like she took Kate from her real mom, and dad, and told them (says in a imitating voice) "Because of this child belongs to you, and the father, I will take her.. just like he took you from me!"
Monica: But isn't Nina's daughter, Kate's real mom?
Tess: Yes.
Monica: Was she just hiding her personality this whole time? With a few slips of it coming out off and on?
Tess: Have you ever heard about how demons can effect a generation of families?
Monica: Yes, is that what has happened here?
Tess: Well this personality all started with June. June is Kate's 5th great Grandmother.
Monica: Oh…..
Gloria: But how were things when everything was "normal"?
Tess: Kate, and Cypher, used to play Nintendo games all the time.. and when she was 5yr, she used to wait with a controller in her hand, watching the door, until Cypher came home, and she would leap for joy, and run to him, and beg him to play Super Mario Brothers with him.. And this went on until she was about 11 years old.. That is about when Nina started coming in, and changing things.
Nina: (Throws Bible at Cypher) You can take it, and shove it! I will keep praying! And maybe some harm will come to you by my prayers.
Cypher: Why do you always start this?
Nina: ME! Start it? Ohhh-hooo! You started it, when you started hanging around those women in school.
Cypher: Dear, you and me weren't even together then.. And they were only girlfriends, I never did anything but hug and kiss them.. Nothing like what I do with you.. I do it all with you.
Nina: You have made my life so unhappy, it is so unbearable!
Cypher: Ya, I'm the fault for everything.
Nina: Yes! You are!
