Richmond, Virginia

A school Bus is riding around a neighborhood section, inside was a group full of kids. One of them is a 17 year old girl who's just staring out through the window with her dad running through her mind. Suddenly she felt a tug on her arm along with a voice going, "Emily are you okay?" Emily turned towards the voice to see her younger 12 year old brother Chase with a concerned look replying to him, "Yeah, I'm just thinking about dad." "You think he's gonna make it home before your birthday?" asked Chase. "Hopefully, dad never misses my birthday and he loves Halloween," answered Emily as she turned back to the window. Chase looked forward then and randomly said, "I miss mom." Emily turned back towards her younger brother rubbing her hand through his brown hair saying, "Me too Chase, hey were almost home."

The bus began to pull up at their house to which Emily was surprised to see a white mini van sitting in the driveway as it was their dad's. Emily immediately grabbed Chase's arm and pulled him up as they ran off the bus to see their dad Tyler walking out the front door. "Dad!" yelled out both of them as they hugged him. "Oh my sweet sweet children, I'm so glad to see you!" said Tyler excitedly as he let them go. "Sweet sweet children, Dad where did you learn that kind of language?" asked Emily jokingly. Tyler looked a bit confused at first but quickly laughed a bit before answering, "Oh I'm sorry Emily, I'm so use to learning these languages it gets you at times."

Tyler looked over at Chase and saw hanging from his neck was a necklace with a cross on it to which gave Tyler a bit of an angry look asking Chase, "What is that chase?" Chase looked down at the necklace and answered, "It's the cross that mom gave me years ago, don't you remember?" Tyler quickly changed his expression then and answered, "Oh right, I'm sorry Chase I've been around a completely different religion so it's made me forget where I came from." Both kids looked on confused as Tyler said, "Come on I got a surprise for you guys."

The three of them entered the house as Emily and Chase sat on the couch in their living room waiting for Tyler to bring them their surprise. Tyler then appeared and popped out two reddish rocks saying in joy, "TA-DA, two rocks from Mars!" Chase grabbed his quickly shouting out in excitement, "Cool!" Emily grabbed and looked at hers before saying, "Thanks Dad, It's a pretty cool early birthday present." Tyler smiled as Emily looked a bit over his shoulder to see a Golden three headed dragon like totem sitting on the kitchen table before asking in curiosity, "Dad, what is that?" Tyler turned to see it and went over to grab it before answering, "Just something NASA let me keep, thought it would be a pretty cool decoration."

Tyler went over to the hall closet and put it in before turning towards Emily saying to her surprisingly sternly, "Now Emily I want you to live that alone and do not touch it okay?" Emily nodded her head as Tyler smiled and said, "Okay well who's up for some Bugs Bunny!" "MEEEEEE!" yelled Chase as Tyler entered back into the living room. Emily looked back at the closet and began thinking about the totem she saw earlier and wanted to know what it was.

Later that Night...

Emily was watching George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead as Tyler walked by saying, "I'm going to bed sweetheart, you have a goodnight." "Okay," Replied Emily as she heard his bedroom door shut. Emily then sat the remote next to her on the couch and stood up to head over to the closet. She began to head over quietly not wanting to wake up her dad and opened to see the totem just sitting on top of a shelf surrounded in darkness. Emily stared the totem up and down touching it to feel this weird power coming from it.

Suddenly a scream could be heard as Emily jumped in surprise but it was only the movie. "Emily..." said a mysterious voice in a whisper. Emily turned back around to see the totem glowing. "Emily..." said the voice again as it was coming from the totem. Emily stared at it in confusion that later turned into fear as the glow soon disappeared. Suddenly a Face of a Golden Dragon popped out and roared at Emily as she let out a huge scream falling backwards as a result. Tyler immediately busted from his bedroom to see Emily on the floor before yelling out, "Emily what happened!?" "There's a monster in the closet!" barely answered Emily as the what she saw scared her so bad that she began to breathe really fast.

Tyler looked inside to see the totem but nothing else as he looked at Emily and said, "What did I tell you Emily?" "Dad I'm sorry I was just..." "Do not and I repeat do not go near that totem you understand?" interrupted Tyler rashly. Emily stared at her dad in disbelief that he didn't believe her but instead was getting upset at her until she nodded her head. "Good, you've seen to many horror movies honey...just go to bed and sleep it off," said Tyler as he kept looking on as Emily stood up and went to her bedroom.

"Dad?" asked Chase out of his room. Tyler headed in there to see Chase awake and frightened as he says to him, "What's wrong sport?" "Did Emily really see a monster in the closet?" asked Chase in a scared tone. Tyler smiled a bit and answered, "No she just saw my totem and got scared...probably watched to many horror movies." Chased then looked on confused and asked, "Emily usually loves horror movies, they never scare her?" Tyler headed over to his bed and said, "Well sometimes people can change Chase remember that." Tyler stared at the cross on the mini chest of drawers next to Chase's bed as Chase noticed and said, "Dad, do you think mom is in heaven?"

Tyler stared at chase without any emotion on his face until he sighed and said, "Well sport I don't know because there is no such thing as Heaven." Chase looked at his father in confusion and asked, "There isn't...but you said..." "Chase after being on Mars for a while I've come to realize there is more to life than what people see," interrupted Tyler. "What do you mean?" asked Chase. Tyler sat down on Chase's bed before explaining, "Well son I've come to find out that there is no God or the Devil...there's just Ghidorah." Chase still kept his look of confusion and asked, "From the Godzilla movies...he's real?" Tyler grew a big smile on his face and answered gleefully, "Yes Chase he is, but it's not like the movies portray him to be he is a savior and one we should worship and respect."

Chase's look of confusion turned into curiosity as he asked his dad, "So does that mean he can bring mom back?" Tyler stared at Chase and smiled as he put his hand across Chase's face and said, "Of course, now first thing in the morning I want you to get rid of that cross and then after school I'll teach you more about Ghidorah...deal?" Chase looked at the cross that his mother gave him and then back at Tyler before answering, "Deal." They both high five each other as Tyler said, "Okay, well sport I need to go to bed so you have a goodnight." "Okay, goodnight dad," said Chase as he tucked himself back in bed. Tyler then stood up and walked out of the room as he turned back around at the room to stare at Chase and then close the door as his eyes turned yellow and he left out a sinister chuckle.
