"You are the universes only hope" "We need you" an angelic voice is heard.
Lightning strikes in the void of the angelic realm. "I will destroy you, I will find you" "You will never be able to escape your destiny" "I will make sure your destiny is ended right here and now".
A face is seen in flashing in the lightning. A boy let's out a cry for help. "HELP!"
Tears roll down the boys face. "SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE!" The tears keep rolling down the little child's face. No one is near but the god's above, watching silently in the darkness.
"Please, I beg of you! Do not do this please! I am only me, I'm just a child, I don't know any better! I need help!"
A shot of dark lightning hits the boy, "HELP!"
The boy is lifted into the air and is seen sprawled out like a chicken, about to be killed by a dark horned shadow. "I ALWAYS WILL FIND YOU!"
"You are me!" A dark voice is heard chanting in tongues.
*rebirth plays*
"Cookie, wake from your nightmares, little trickster, your mind is safe and so are you!"
Lightning strikes and wakes up the boy from his never ending nightmares.
"Agh, what was that dream" The boy wakes up and is in a cold sweat!

"Hello, my name is Cookie Angelo, I am currently 5 years old. I like writing music and dreaming about food! My life has been a rocky roller coaster.. my dad is a drunk and my mom is the best woman I have ever met! She takes care of me".
The boy is in shock, from the nightmare. "It seemed a little too real" the boy thinks to himself.
The nightmare played out like a movie, one that seems to never end in a happy ending. The way it felt was like real life. It never ended. Cookie has had nightmares before, but none like the one they just had. Lightning strikes the ground and the boy shivers in the cold. "I just want to sleep" the boy sweats out the fear and tears roll down their face.
Cookie is a soft and sensitive child, they only care about games and music.

The boy rolls in their bed and eventually falls asleep.

"Wake up Cooks!" A gentle yet strong female voice calls out.
The boy shivers in a cold sweat from the night before. "Divine we all are" a voice is heard from the boys mind. "Wake Cookie", the voice calls out, one unfamiliar  to the boy!
"COOKS! WAKE UP PLEASE! It's almost time for school!" The female voice is once again scolding the boy, not to crass though.
"I'm up mommy!" Cookie calls out. Sweating from the night before. The nightmare shook the boys core! It made them feel like there was something more to these dreams that they have been having lately!
"Momma! Can you come here?" Desperation flows through Cookies voice! They only want their mom after a bad nightmare.
"Hey, what's wrong sweetheart? You look pale and sweaty!" Moms voice softly spoke to the boy.
"I had a nightmare, it scared me! The lightning was so bad last night it scared me! I don't feel safe.." the boys eyes fill with tears. "Baby, you are safe with me!" Angela, is the mothers name, she is tall and skinny. She is the only safe place in Cookies life! She is gentle, caring, sweet and somewhat stern when need be. She has beautiful brown skin, she is indigenous.
"I promise you are safe Cooks! I won't let anything happen to my baby!"  She says sternly yet softly like a momma goose to the babies.
"You are my sunshine! You are my gumdrop, you are my little sweet angel, you make my heart stop!" She sings.

Cookie didn't know what to feel. They were terrified of the dream they just had. They were only 5 after all! It was like something was speaking to them.

"Alrighty Cookie, I'm going to get breakfast ready and we will start the day! I promise today will be a good one!" Angela smiles, she knows that the best thing a child needs to hear is their mom telling them that the day will be a good one! She knows her child, her baby! Her one and only!

Angela has always had a rough past, she suffered way to much for a woman her age. She and her husband are divorced and living apart form one another. Cookies dad is the meanest drunk ever, they live apart due to his alcoholism. He never hit Angela, but the emotional abuse was extreme to the point where she felt so trapped everywhere she went! It was like a plane was crushing her every time that man spoke. Cookie only stays with him if something bad has happened with Angela. She always promised to keep her baby safe! She loves Cooks and Cooks loves her.

"I'll see you in a minute baby." She calls out to her child.

The day goes by and it's another regular day, school was okay. But the food, the food is always the number one thing in life that Cookie loves! It is a dire necessity. It is life, and death.

The scene changes into a dark narrow hall. Cookie has just gotten home from school. As the boy walks through the hall to get to their bedroom, they spot something in the corner of their eye. The floor creaks with anger. A horned shadow is seen.
"AGH!!!" The boy let's out a yelp.
"Look for me!" A dark voice is heard. The pitch of the voice is like nails on a chalkboard. It scared Cookie so badly they instantly fall to the floor and start crying.
"Agh" the boys tears fall out like a never ending stream of water.
"COOKIE! What's wrong??" Angela calls out.
"Nothing mommy! I promise..".
The boy can tell their mom what they saw. She's been through enough. What if it was just the boys imagination? What if it was a vision? What if it was an illusion and their mind is playing tricks on them?
"I promise mommy, nothing is wrong. I just tripped and stubbed my toe!" The boy says in urgency. Trying to find a lie that suits the situation.
"Oh no, that's no good is it? It must be painful if you are making the hallway flood..." The mom says in a caring tone. She picks up the boy and takes him to his room. "I promise! Everything will be okay!!".
The shadow follows Cookie into the bedroom just behind his mom. The shadow hits Angela and she feels this ungodly weight in her shoulders. "Hmmph" she thinks to herself. Serious like a hawk. She feels faint. "Let's put you down!"
A sudden change in the air fuels the shadow to laugh in the pairs ears! Cookie still crying from the moment before, and Angela feels the air in the room is demonic. "I'm gonna put you down and go grab some sage... okay?.. baby!".  Angela soothes the boy. She always has had that energy about her. She knows nothing will stop her for caring for her baby. Even a ghost or whatever was bugging her that night. Not even a man could keep her from her baby.

The night shifts into bedtime. After supper  is Cooks bedtime.

"Goodnight my baby! I love you always!" Angela softly tells the boy. The boy responds in a gentle yet silly smile. Lifting one half of their mouth.

"Goodnight mommy! I love you.."
That night the air was silent. You couldn't even hear a mouse. The air was silently filled with bad energy and it will transform.
"Goodnight mommy..." Cookie calls out.
