Third God

CHAPTER 14

GABRIEL'S P.O.V

I was standing in front of a tree, staring at how big it was and how green its leaves were. I was also in awe of the location I was, given that I didn't know how I appeared here.

'What's with the environment and why is everywhere so chilly,'

I looked on the floor, seeing the whole place filled with twigs except a narrow line that leads to the big tree. I was at the narrow line, of course, not wanting to be injured by the twigs that laid around.

I head the sound of creaks behind me and I turned to see an old man walking towards me, he was walking on the twigs but there was no reaction on his face. It wasn't hurting him and I begged the question why.

"Be careful there, old man. The...." I said and he looked up to me with a smile on his face.

"You are much caring now. You would care if were you of before,"he said and I shrugged.

Okay..

"You sound like know me,"I said and he chuckled.

"Of course, I do," he answered. My eyes were still fixated on his legs and whether he was hurt or not.

Oh no... I am being caring.

"You should really come out from those twigs," I said, extending my hands to help him.

"A dog can't hurt his owner," he said and I scoffed.

"That isn't right, plenty dogs have hurt their owners," I said and he laughed.

I moved slowly towards him, stepping on the twigs mistakenly, making me yelp and drawing back, limping.

"Now you get what I mean. The words might not have been accurate but it was surely precise," he said and walked out of the twigs, leaning towards my leg. "It is bleeding," he said and I sighed.

"I noticed and my caring caused it," I said and he chuckled slightly before extending his hand and touching my feet. Slowly, I felt the pain fade away and the bleeding stopped immediately. I looked at my leg and there was no sign of injury on it. I stared at the old man, surprised and wondering who he was.

"Just ask me," he said, walking to towards the tree. "I can hear your thought , you know," he added and touched the tree, rubbing it slowly.

"Who are you?" I finally asked and he turned to face me.

"Your maker," he said and I chuckled in disbelief.

"My maker?" I asked and he nodded. "You don't mean God, do you?" I asked again and he smiled.

"Any name you want to call me. As long as it is a nice name, I think I will be okay with it," he said, facing the tree again.

"I don't even think you exist," I said and I heard him laugh. His laugh was fearless and his expressions were shouting out the aura of love. Was he truly God?

"Most people believe that. But believes are meant to be, people are meant to have their point of view, that is why I gave them free will. Humanity won't stop believing, more people will believe," he said.

"What do you want from me?" I asked.

"You have heard when the priest of earth talks about the coming of jesus which was my son?"

"Yes"

"Well, since people have started going far towards the extend of making my world a true fantasy. I just decided to bring the fantasy to them,"

"And how so?"

"You.. "

"Me?"

"You are my third send down. You are the third God,"

This is when it all occured to me. I was dreaming, just an imagination based on the fear in my heart. I don't why why heart turned to God for peace but I guess it was just because it was all I grew up with.

"I am dreaming, aren't I?" I asked and he smiled.

"Dreams has nothing to do with me, that is just you entertaining yourself in your sleep. I show you revelations, the truth, things to come. Those are much more powerful than dreams," he said.

"This is surely a dream," I scoffed.

"Usually, when you realise you are in a dream that is when you wake up," he said and thought about it for a moment. He was right. If this were a dream, I would have woken up. Why I haven't I woken up?

"You haven't woken up because I have not let you go,"he said. "Just think about what I have said and if you need more light onto your powers, which I think you got covered already, come back. I am always here,"he added.

"What is this?"

"You can go,"

******

He fucking let me go. I only woke up when he said I could go. I walked into my bathroom and poured water on my face . I stared at the window and then on my palms.

'What the fuck is happening,'

"Third God," I remembered the words of the guy that I faced recently at the gang house. He also said they used gun better than the pistol against him. He was faster than I could imagine a human sprint. I can't even believe that I making myself believe this.

(Bang)

I flinched as I heard screams downstairs and a lot of noise. I immediately got out of my room, running to the leaving room to see what was happening. I sighted my mum on her kneels and my dad in the same position. I looked forward amd saw the same guy staring at me, his smirk looking very mischievous.

"We meet again, Third God,"
