Come

Psalm 10: The Lost Sheep

Hello!

This chapter features guest characters from my other book, the Caravan of Hope. There will be references from that book, so if you haven't read it, please do!

And also, there are going to be a few secret reveals! Just to congratulate those who actually read this chapter.;-)

See the picture! As you can see, Mary and George's names are cut out, but you get the idea. These are images of who I imagine the Caravan to look like. And CoH readers, remember that I promised a chapter in Come with the Caravan of Hope in it? Well here it is! I will also feature them in the next chapter of EM, which is coming soon.

Luke 15:3-7

Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?  And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders  and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’  I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Recap:

As we sat down I sighed. "So.... what do we do now?

Alex:(remember him CoH readers? ;-))

Whatever Daiko was doing, she was crazy.

But I still loved her.

We somehow landed in the middle of a town that I didn't recognize. In fact, I didn't even think the architecture was from our world.

It was Daiko's birthday, and I said that we would go anywhere she wanted to go for today. We meaning the whole Caravan of Hope: me, Daiko, Hearthfell, Bella, Mary, George, and Jarred.

Unfortunately, I should've known that she'll choose some crazy place; for all I know, we're on Aqua and she's going to die soon.

"We're not on Aqua. At least, technically not the Aqua that's my Home. So the curse won't work on me. You could say that it is like a world Ignelsa created." Daiko started sucking on a red lollipop.

I widened my eyes. "You mean, this world is one from a book you've read? Like how our world is from a book created by Lu Alec?"

Daiko grinned. "Yep!" She said, popping the p. "And guess what! Lu Alec wrote this book too, before they wrote The Caravan of Hope! So naturally I read it while waiting for new chapters."

I widened my eyes, while Daiko rolled hers. "C'mon Alex! It's technically a date!!!! I've always wanted one!"

"What about us?!" Hearthfell yelled, making us all laugh. But then he shuddered.

Daiko sang for a shirt. "Here, Hearthfell! This country isn't a desert one like Wald, so it's colder. Good thing is, I don't need an umbrella!" She raised her hands to the sky. "Praise the Lord, mi Dios, and all that he has done!"

Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard her talk about her God that wasn't completely in Spanish; wonder why. I shrugged. I didn't care so long as Daiko was in a good mood.

We walked around for a little bit. I saw Daiko be super excited and shout names in Spanish. All the rest of us, on the other hand, marveled the things that we have never seen in our world.

We soon came in front of a building, where I heard a sweet sounding music. It came from the group of kids our age: a boy and a girl with red hair that was lighter than Bella's, a boy with hair as dark as mine, a boy with hair the same color as Mary's blonde, another boy with hair lighter than Daiko's, and a short girl who wore glasses.
