Chapter Four

So, What Now?

Rachel's Point of View:

"Alright, our latest 'attack' was here," Megan said while circling a spot on the map with her pencil. "Recently, they have been coming at us from point B and E. At each spot, they have left no type of trace behind, which means that we won't be able to track them down and predict their next attack point."

"So, what do we do?" I asked.

"Kick their butts to the moon of course! Right?" Amari commented.

"Mark Nine said it himself," Megan began, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer."

"But that can't be all we can do!" Cole retaliated, "If these guys are as dangerous as you say they are, shouldn't we be doing more than just prayer?"

"Revelation sixteen, 'For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.'"

Jay ran his hand through his hair, "This makes no sense."

"It seems no occasion ever 'makes sense' to you, Jay," Zane mentioned.

Jay's cheeks slightly began to turn red and his eyebrows suddenly stitched together in a straight line.

"I swear I'm gonna-"

"Drop it, Jay."

"Got any other ideas, Megan?" Amari asked. Megan did not make eye contact and continued to pace around the room, gently holding her chin between her right thumb and index finger.

"There's gotta be something we can do!" Nya protested, "What if we-"

Then out of nowhere, a loud banging came to the door of the room were in, and slowly Amari walked to the door and creaked it open slightly, only to tumble to the ground as an effect of Lexis bursting through air and into the room; barking and whimpering constantly without end.

"What's gotten into her?" Cole asked.

"Lexis, what's the matter?" Megan asked.

Lexis did not respond, but only circled and jumped to the questioning sound of our voices. Very much like…a normal dog.

"Why isn't she-" Then something incredibly shocking occurred. In the tense air that was currently forming, Amari suddenly let out a piercing shout and clawed at her chest before forcefully hurling herself towards the ground. In an instant, I ran to her side.

Narrator's Point of View:

And the room filled with intense worry as Cole, Jay, Zane, Rachel, and Megan, waited silently for a response from the flushed faced Amari.

"Amari, can you hear me?" Rachel questioned. No response.

"What's happening!?" Jay cried.

"Megan…" said Cole.

"What is it?" Megan asked. Cole only responded by making his eyes grow wide and slowly raising his finger to point in the direction of what was going on behind her. Now scared and confused, Megan turned her attention towards her back, only to see a disturbing sight of flickering outlines of her bright yet low-lit wings.

"What the—

They disappeared and Amari's eyes snapped open, "Uh, excuse you! Your hand is on my butt!"

And quickly realizing her blunder, Rachel snatched her hand away with a constant face of disgust. Kai walked into the room, "Hey, what'd I miss?"

Kai's Point of View:

"What's going on?" To be honest, I really didn't want to ask considering that they looked like something that came out of a really bad lab experiment. "Are you guys gonna answer or….."

"Something is definitely wrong," Zane pointed out.

"What's happening to us?" Rachel asked.

"What do you mean us? We're all fine," Amari stated. Rachel gave a confused look, "What are you talking about? This stuff happened not two seconds ago, and you started it."

"Me?" She pondered, "I didn't do anything."

"You mean you don't remember?" Jay asked.

"Apparently not."

Lexis' Point of View:

What's happening to me? Why can't I understand what anyone's saying? Why can't I communicate with them anymore?

"Hey!" I shouted, "What's with you guys? Why can't you hear me!?" Nothing.

"Quit playing around! Answer me already!"
