As darkness and fire swirlded around me in a dark inferno, my father rushed to me.

He started talking, saying that things in a different language I didn't undetstand.

Slowly the animal within began to calm and I slowly drifted downward. As my feet touched the broken earth, my father hugged me.

I looked at my twin sister Athena in astonishment as I slowly hugged my lost father back.

A man started screaming out names, "James! Joseph! Kathy! Mary! June! Jasmine! Leo! Tary! Mary!"

I felt the beast began rising again at a alarming rate and before I could stop myself, my body spun around and roundhouse kicked him.

My eyes widened as I helplessly stood and watched as my father flew backward into a wall.

A sickening crack!! Rang through the air as the wall crumbled and buried him in debri.

I got up and ran to him, tears streaming down my face and clouding my eyes.

I threw the debri aside, brick after brick and I soon uncovered my father. I chocked back a sob as his eyes began to close.

I told him I loved him and that I was so, so, so, sorry. He only smiled weakly as his strength was fading.....then he closed his eyes.

I knew what I had to do.....
