"I suggest you get that goddamn gun away from Joseph's head, Eli," Jacob growled, "or you're not gettin' outta here alive."

The eldest Seed brother was obviously bluffing; he was here to kill Eli clearly...

"Put the motherfucking gun down." I snarled at the leader of the Whitetails.

"Why should I?" Eli inquired as Wheaty then pulled out his assault rifle and aimed it at Faith's head.

On the inside, I was beginning to panic even more... "Wheaty, I swear if you pull that trigger, I won't damn hesitate to blow your head off right now." I scowled, now aiming at Wheaty's head.

"Alice!" Faith exclaimed joyously, but her facial expressions soon turned to worry. "You need to get out of here!"

"No, Faith." The Father chimed in calmly. "This was exactly what was supposed to happen..." He spoke quietly, barely audible. "God wanted this to happen."

"What?" I asked incredulously, my gun still pointed at Wheaty. "What are you talking about, Joseph?"

"Everything is unfolding according to God's plan..." The Father murmured. "You judge me, Eli. You judge us. The things that we have done... but people say... that I'm crazy, but when you wake up in the morning you look at the same news that I do. Do your eyes not fill with horror? This is the world?! This? This is the world we have built for our children? Communities being torn apart. Walls being erected. Because leaders are too impotent to act. Bullies are too addled to lead righteously. I did not ask for this. I was chosen. See, everything is coming to an end. You can feel that. I know you can... See, mankind is weak... and vulnerable. And we are hurtling towards our destruction and no one is willing to do anything about it. I can see that. You can see. And we are not crazy. So what are we supposed to do? We just sit back and await the inevitable? I don't claim to be a perfect man, but I saw what was coming and I chose to act. To lead. Because society is broken and the only way forward... is to go back to the way things once were. Innocent and pure. So safe and protected... in our Garden. I could have saved you, but you have to have faith. And you didn't... and you still don't, Eli... There is no salvation for you. You will kill me, Eli, and once I am gone, that is where Alice steps in. Our one and only Hope." Joseph explained, gazing at me the whole time as my eyes widened. "God gave me a vision. And He showed me that when I die, she is your true guidance..."

My jaw dropped at the Father's words as I shook my head in confusion. "No, Joseph. You're not dying here today." I replied hastily. "You cannot die."

"Child, it is not your decision; it is solely God's." Joseph responded with a genuine smile. "I love you brother Jacob, brother John, sister Faith, and sister Hope. It is, indeed, my time to head to Eden's Gate... And the Lamb broke the sixth seal and lo, there was a great earthquake... The sun became black and the moon turned to blood..."

"Father!" John screamed, struggling against the ropes that bound his wrists and ankles together.

"No! Father!" Faith yelled, while tears streamed down her delicate cheeks.

"Joseph," Jacob stated sadly with anger evident in his voice, "I won't let you down, brother."

Eli dug the gun into Joseph's temple even harder. "You all are fucking crazy."

"You're not here by accident or by chance, Eli. You are here by the grace of God. You've been given a gift. Now it remains to be seen whether you choose to embrace it... or to cast it aside..." The Father informed Eli.

Then, Eli's finger grazed the trigger, on the verge of killing Joseph.

The Father's eyes closed impassively, "Forgive Eli, God... Judge not, and you will not be judged. Condemned not, and you will not be condemned. Forgive... and you will be forgiven... You know what this means? It means the politicians will be silenced. It means the corporations will be erased. It means that the world will be cleansed by God's righteous fire... But most of all... it means I am right. The Collapse is nearly here. The world as we know it will be over. I waited so long... I waited so long for the prophecy God whispered in my ear to be fulfilled... I prepared my family for this moment. And they are ready to rule the Project at Eden's Gate, along with our Hope... And when this world is ready to be borne anew, they will step into the light. Alice is your Hope, I am your Father, and you are my children... And together, we will march to Eden's Gate together... When the Lamb opened the seventh seal... there was silence in Heaven... and the seven angels before God were given seven trumpets... And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake... and I heard a great voice from the temple say to the angels... go your ways... and pour from the vials, the wrath of God upon the Earth... It is finished, children." Joseph now opened his eyes as he looked at me with a grin on his face; he then started to sing 'Amazing Grace'.

In the blink of an eye, Eli pulled the trigger... Immediately, Joseph's body fell to the ground with a loud thud. In an instant, I pulled my trigger and down went Wheaty as Jacob shot Eli right in the heart...

What just fucking happened?
