Phelix

Chapter 5 (Season 2)

A man named Bradley Norris prepares to go to bed, as his family does the same. As Bradley went into the living room to turn the tv off, the tv started to static and malfunction. The lights in the house started to flicker on and off. Bradley looked around in confusion. Then, a loud ringing noise sounded in Bradley's ears, collapsing and screaming he did as he heard it. Bradley's pregnant wife and his daughter rushed to his aid, as he's the only one who can hear the noise. The noise then suddenly stopped, as did Bradley's screams. "BRAD, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!? THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK YOU'VE DONE THAT! YOU'RE SCARING MADISON!" The wife snapped on Bradley, holding her daughter, Madison, behind her. "Alecia, I'm sorry! I don't know what's going on with me!" Bradley said. "You're telling me you're not hearing that noise?! How can you miss it?!". "Brad, you need help. We'll pray for you" Alecia says. "Daddy, you're scaring me!" Madison cries. "Hey, I'm okay. Let's just go to bed, alright?" Bradley reassured them. Alecia nodded, as she sent Madison to her room. "I'm alright, honey. Don't worry" Bradley said to Alecia, kissing her forehead.

Bradley and his family finally go to bed. As Bradley went to sleep, he dreamt. In his dream, appearing was the archangel, Michael. Bradley, looking at a reflection of himself when he sees Michael. "Hello, Bradley" Michael greets him. "Who are you? And why do you look like me?" Bradley says, confused. "My name is Michael. I am an archangel of the Almighty God" Michael said. "And you're Bradley. You're a prophet of the Almighty God". "...I'm dreaming..." Bradley chuckles. "You are, but I am very real, Bradley" Michael says. "...So, you're telling me that an Angel of the Lord is really talking to me in my dream?" Bradley says. Michael nodded. "Yes". "..I really am losing my mind..." Bradley laughed. "Why is this so hard to believe? You're a very devout and God fearing man, Bradley" Michael said. "Is it possible to believe that you're important? That you're a prophet, and your will hasn't been fulfilled yet?". "Like how? What importance do I have to God?" Bradley questions. "We need to stop it. And I need you to do so" Michael says to Bradley. "Stop what?". "The apocalypse" Michael said. "The apocalypse, apocalypse?! From the Bible!?" Bradley says in shock. "Armageddon is near, Bradley. Lucifer will rise soon, for the armies of heaven and hell shall rise with him" Michael says. "THE DEVIL!? What is he planning to do!?" Bradley panicked. "To wipe out the one kind he very much hates, humanity. He wants to rule the earth and nature. To be worshipped" Michael said. "But that shall not prosper, shall we prevail against the adversary together, Bradley. All I shall need is your permission". "Permission? Permission for what?" Bradley questioned. "The permission to take over and possess your body and mind, for I'll need you to battle Lucifer" Michael says. Bradley collapses on his knees, fear in his heart. "Be not afraid, Bradley. For the earth's fate relies on your bravery" Michael said. "I'll make it pleasant for you, Bradley. For angelic possession is naturally divine". Bradley sits there, thinking. "Why me?" Bradley says. "Because God's will has chosen you, Bradley" Michael said. "...I'll accept your offer...if you promise me one thing" Bradley says. "Yes?" Michael says. "Promise me safety for my family". "Granted, of course" Michael says, as Bradley nods. "By the way, what's that ringing noise I hear? Nobody else seems to hear it" Bradley questions. "It's my real angelic voice" Michael said. "That's you talking? Maybe should lower the volume. Gives me crazy headaches" Bradley says. "What shall you say, Bradley?" Michael says. "...I accept...but I have to do one more thing before.." Bradley says.

As Bradley awakened, so he did to his family. After he got dressed, he sat them down in the living room, telling them everything from his dream. "...Brad..I've tried to be patient with you...but this..this is insane!" Alecia said. "I mean you're saying that a angel came in your dream?! Saying that you and it needs to stop the devil?! Are you nuts?!". "Why is it so hard to believe? You believe in the Bible right?" Bradley says. "Of course I do! But, Brad. How would God need you?! You sell TVs!" Alecia responds. "Nope, Michael said that I'm important. That I'm a prophet. He said that satan will bring the apocalypse, and I need to stop it" Bradley says. "How?! How exactly will you stop the devil, Bradley?!" Alecia questions. "It's God's will, not exactly my place to question it" Bradley said. "The angel's gonna take over my body. I'll be gone for...I don't know how long". "Daddy, please don't go!" Madison cried. "Bradley, you're scaring your daughter...you're scaring me.." Alecia says. Bradley went on one knee to his daughter. "Madi, baby. Daddy's gonna save the world" Bradley said. "I don't know how long I'll be gone...but I'll be back. I pinkie promise" Bradley's pinkie hugs with Madison's. "You know I can't break pinkie promises". "Bradley, it was just a dream" Alecia said. "The random screams were one thing, but this...you need therapy..medication". "No, I don't. This is real, Alecia. I need to go" Bradley says. "No, this family is real! You have a baby boy on the way, Bradley...you can't just go.." Alecia says, tears in her eyes. "I'm doing this for the baby! For you and Madison! Don't worry, you'll be safe!" Bradley said. "One day, you'll understand...when I come back". Bradley hugs his daughter, Madison, as she hugged back tightly, never wanting to let go. Bradley then hugged and kissed his wife, as she reluctantly hugged back. "I promise, I'll come back...". Bradley then suddenly lit up in a big blue bright light. Alecia and Madison had to cover their eyes and look away, as the light almost blinded them. The light lit up the entire house, as it became very windy. When the light went away, the wind stopped, as they looked back. But when they looked back, Bradley was no longer there. "Oh my God..." Alecia said, crying and shocked. Madison ran and hugged Alecia, crying tears as well.
