The World As We Know It Is Over

The Broken Seals

She was so close. So damn close to arresting that son of a bitch and putting an end to all of this bullshit.

Oh how wrong she was. If she had any idea what was about to come seconds after putting the cuffs on him.... She would've gotten on her knees and begged for forgiveness from the heaven's above.

Everything was in slow motion. Her breathing heavy, her heart beat loud.
ThudThudThudThud over and over again. Deafening.

Oh god what have you done. It's your fault. Why couldn't you listen? Why did you do this Rook?

She had asked herself over and over but not coming up with any answers.

The End of the world still burned through her mind like an inferno fire. The screams, the cries, oh god, the smell of burning flesh. Animals and Man's.

In front of the preachers chapel stood Rook. After she got the radio call from him that he had taken her friend... Her family.

She listened and watched the preacher intently as he preached about the broken seals. How she still had a chance to walk away, take her friends and leave but to leave him and his flock alone. Oh how wrong she was to not accept the kind offer.

Stupid Rook stupid.

Instead she fought and fought, knowing it was too late for Joseph to win. Not knowing he just wanted to save them and all of the earth's population.

She took proud steps towards the preacher as he crawled away on the graveled ground while seeking forgiveness from his god for the sinners. For them.

"Forgive them father... They know not what they do" He slowly turned towards her on his knees and spoke. "And when the lamb opened the seventh seal..." He raised his hands high above and looked straight into her eyes. "There was silence in heaven" suddenly the bliss fog was gone. The air clear once again. "And the seven angels before God were given seven trumpets..." The sound of birds flying away in a panic caught her attention. "And there were noises, thundering, lighting." The feeling of dread and fear fell upon her when she heard the sound of emergency siren. "And an earthquake" his tone calm yet worried not breaking the eye contact.

"Joseph seed... You're under arrest" The Sheriff declared from behind the preacher. As he and his other deputies approached the kneeling man with their hand guns raised.

"And I heard a great voice from the temple say to the angels go your ways" the sheriff forcefully raised Joseph to his feet and stepped in front of him. Joseph didn't fight the sheriff as he cuffed the Cult Leader.

Joseph raised his cuffed hands in the air and said. "And pour from the vials, the wrath of God upon the earth."

BOOM

The head splitting boom that went off caused her ears to deafen and ring while her vision whitened.

Slowly her vision cleared to the large cloud of dust in the background. Too shocked and scared to realise the preacher walking towards her with a cold expression on.

"It is finished child." His voice cut through her ears like glass shards. Voices from the background cursed and cried of shock while Joseph hymned.

The powerful wave of dust and particles hit them, causing them off balance.

As if she had zoned out. She couldn't move her body, she couldn't understand what was happening. Even when the sheriff commanded her to get inside the car, she just couldn't move.

"GOD DAMNIT ROOK C'MON" he yelled as he pushed Joseph inside the vehicle. Hudson taking the drivers seat and Pratt the back.

Why couldn't she move? She felt Sheriff grab her tightly and drag her towards the car before shoving her next to Joseph. The fucker was still singing.
