Torey sits on the ledge of a lake, watching the water waves. Torey has her sense of vision back, as it's a dream. As Torey dreams, Michael appears, a reflection of herself. "Hello, Torey" Michael greets her. Torey, turning to Michael, angered. "Well, aren't you fast!? Where the hell have you been!?" Torey says, getting up. "I've been circling my vessel" Michael says. "Yeah?! How long does it fucking take you to take over a person!? Huh!?" Torey yells. "Language" Michael said. "And I can't take over just any human, Torey. It'll kill them. It has to be a prophet". "Who gives a shit about that!" Torey said. "Do you know someone in our group died, Michael?! Killed by demons!". "Yes. I am aware of the death of Gavin Darwin" Michael nodded. "And you didn't do anything?! We needed you! And you just sat there and watched?!" Torey says. "Free will is not an illusion, Torey". "So what!? I get saved, but he doesn't!?". "You're a needed Prophet, Torey" Michael said. "Besides, you had a prophecy of his death". "So that means innocent people just die!?" Torey says. "If those people lived a good life, then they'll have paradise in heaven for the rest of eternity" Michael says. "And if they lived a..bad life?" Torey questions. "Then they'll burn in the fires of hell for eternity". Torey nodded. "And which one Gavin's in?". "He's in paradise" Michael says. "Well, at least you rewarded him for trying to stop Armageddon" Torey said. "What about demons? What happened to them when they die...if they die". "They'll return back to hell, back as an human soul. But this time, no escape, no turning back. They'll be back to being tortured for eternity" Michael said. "As for demons who were manifested from the fires of hell, like the deadly sins. They'll cease to exist". "And what about you? Angels?" Torey questions. "Same thing. We'll cease to exist" Michael said. "Torey, I didn't come to talk to you about death". "Then why did you come here?" Torey said. Michael walks to Torey, giving her an ancient, divine, horn. "What is this?" Torey questions. "The horn of archangel Gabriel. It was left as he departed" Michael says. "Departed? What does that mean?" Torey questions. "Gabriel's missing, and he hasn't been located by heaven". "How do you know he's not just taking a stroll?" Torey says. Michael hands Torey a feather. "That's a feather from his wings" he says. "Why you giving this to me?" Torey says. "With those two, and enochian symbols branded on you, you can summon Gabriel" Michael said. Torey chuckled. "Yea, right". Michael stares at Torey. "You're serious?" Torey says. "Very". "..Wha-..but-..I can't do this!" Torey says. "Yes, you can. You've the power to, you're a prophet". "I'm a blind woman who lives off disability checks!". "Don't doubt yourself, Torey. You're way more than that" Michael says. "Okay, but you're saying summon an angel! Archangel at that! Why can't you do it?!" Torey says. "He's hidden against heaven, he's not hidden against you" Michael says. "No. I'm sorry, but I can't" Torey says. "You made an oath to God, Torey. You can do this" Michael said. "To receive from the Almighty, and prophesy against evil. It will be your life's work. Like Moses, the ones before and after him". "Why? Why me?" Torey quavers, with tears in her eyes. Michael goes to Torey, putting his hands on her face, smoothly. "Because God's chosen you, and that makes it just" Michael said. Torey, hesitating, nods her head. "Damn...how many of you archangels are there?" Torey says. "Eight. Me, Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, Jophiel, Zadkiel, Camael, and the fallen, Lucifer" Michael said. "And many other seraphims, reapers, and cherub angels". Torey nods her head. "Apocalypse, full session. Here we go". "When you've woken up, there'll be enochian angel summoning sigils branded on your arms by me" Michael said. "May God be with you, Torey".
Phelix returned to the abandoned theater, where Gavin died. He went on the stage, hovering over the blood of the dead. Phelix fell on his knees, touching the blood. He looked at the blood as it dripped off his fingers. Getting flashbacks of Casey's cries and the killing of Gavin, regretting his actions.
As Casey's in the shower, she stands there and thinks of the death of her lover. Water dripping down her body as she remembers, with nothing but a blank expression on her face. *BANG* Jesse bangs on the bathroom door. "HURRY UP!" He yelled, awakening Casey in the shower. "Hey. Take it easy on her" Quinn said to Jesse. "She's been through a lot". "Yea. Well, that doesn't mean she can use up all the hot water" Jesse says. Quinn shakes her head, walking away. "What?! I told her that Phelix kid is no good! Maybe now she'll realize!" Jesse said.
