A Moment

Judgement Day

Asher looks at me with a deep sadness in his eyes. "We must all chose", he says. I look at will with a confused expression. "What do you mean?" I say. "Everything must chose between heaven and hell, not just you", Asher says sharply. I look down. I know what he is thinking. He knows that this means that I must chose between the demons and the angels, between the bad and the good, between he and God.

"We need to go now", says Jake suddenly. Our group starts on the way up to heaven as we watch the Timeo head in the opposite direction. No one speaks as we travel. The only sound I hear are soft sobs from Rachel, because she knows that a war is about to take place. Asher doesn't dare look at me, probably out of fear that he too will sob. Soon, we reach the big, pearly gold, glowing gates. Demons approach it, roaring with anger, some yelling about Faith the angel. I know my leaving heaven is the cause of this war. My selfish need for something more will cause the falling of angels and the death of demons.

Suddenly, the gates are opened and everyone outside is blinded by the great light. This doesn't last long, for immediately, we all pour in. I look around to see a great battlefield with two thrones at opposite ends. In one, sits Satan, in the other, the Lord sits, looking calm and level. I see all of the angels in heaven surrounding the demons. There is and invisible line keeping the two sides away from each other. All I hear is screaming, so loud, so, so loud. It's excruciating to hear the falling of angels and the squalling of demons. "Stop!" I scream suddenly. No one hears with all of the commotion going on. "Stop!" I scream again frantically. Yet again, no one looks in my direction. Asher looks at me, and I know what I have to do.

I run toward the center of all of the sudden and harsh fighting. As if out of nowhere, a demon's hand hits my face, and I fall down. The pain is burning and my head feels numb. My vision is blurred. A rage builds inside me, so intense that I get up faster than the speed of light. I let out a shriek that is high, booming, and powerful all at the same time. Only a few heads turn to me, only to turn back towards the action. Now I burned with rage. I could feel my face getting red hot. I flew up just above the center of the battlefield. Once again, a powerful wind escaped my body as I screamed in anger, fear, and exhaustion. The angels and demons were torn away from each other by this wind. This time, everyone looks at me. "ENOUGH", says a powerful, booming voice, the voice of God. He continues,"The angel who has ended the awful chaos is Faith. She ran from heaven to the Earth. She has formed ties with the demons, she is even in love with one." My face gets hot and red. "However, she is still an angel. Currently, Faith is between two worlds. She has not made a decision: angel or demon. If she choses to be an angel, demons will be forever cursed to burn in hell. If she chooses to be a demon, all angels will fall, and good will cease to exist.

Tears streak down my face. I have to chose between Asher and God. I love them in different ways. Choosing God would be better for everyone, but Asher makes me so happy. How could I send Asher to burn? This is it. This is Judgement Day.
