Notes: I'm back, feeling a little better ( the pneumonia's gone but now I think I got a head cold- cough's still there though. My fault for working in an elementary school!) Well it's taken me a few weeks to update but not too bad right? Finals and the holidays are coming up so who knows when this will be updated again. I will say that I'm getting toward the end of the story- so I'll say 5 more chapters, but that can and probably will change. Anyway enjoy and as always review!
Sometimes Miracles Happen
By Ans4Christ
"Jonas, Jonas! Wake up- we must move quickly, come." Jonas jerked awake as he felt a hand grab his shoulder, when he looked however no one was there. "This way Jonas, come quickly." He turned to his side and saw a man standing on the path leading toward the pillars, beckoning him.
Unlike before when Jonas had been filled with exhaustion he now felt energized. He headed immediately to the path. In the distance he saw a light coming and realized that the sun must be starting to rise. He suddenly stopped realizing he had forgotten about Sam. He turned to go to her.
"Do not go back for her Jonas, she is not a part of this journey." The man spoke. Jonas paused and looked questioningly at this man. He was too far away for Jonas to make out his features, but somehow he felt as though he had encountered this man before. "Do not worry, Sam is safe. She will sleep awhile longer, and when you are finished you will rejoin her and return home. Do not bother to ask questions all will be answered in due time."
Jonas stared after this man not knowing whether he should remain where he was or follow after this stranger. But he couldn't just stay there that he knew, and he had to get to the pillars. If this man was leading the way there then that's where Jonas was heading as well.
As they walked on Jonas noticed that the light was getting brighter ahead of him, he also noticed that it wasn't rising. The light was a constant source, not a moving one like the sun would be. It hit him- it was the pillars! They were probably still radiating some sort of heat or energy, which made them bright enough to be a light source.
As they rounded a turn Jonas' theory was confirmed when he saw the pillars standing in the distance. They were magnificent to behold. Standing 20ft high they stood like towers in the clearing. The pillars resembled the remnants of a Roman temple, but rather than be broken their appearance was strong and whole. The light was not the only thing radiating from the pillars, there was a presence, a power that was felt, and unlike anything Jonas had ever encountered.
The glowing light continued to get stronger and brighter- then it seemed to spread out like a shock wave. It enveloped Jonas to such an extent that his senses were overwhelmed. He was seeing, feeling, almost tasting the light.
When it stopped Jonas didn't know where he was. It was as though he was within the pillars or the temple that used to dwell there. His first realization was- he was alone. The man had vanished. Jonas stood in a room of white. There was no ceiling, no windows, no floors, or walls- nothing but white. So he stood there- wondering and waiting.
