Today I woke up in a long, white dress the ballet flats. The dress was fitting, had a shallow V-neck and long, fitting sleeves that went past my fingertips. The end of the dress went down to the floor and I would have to kick it out every time I stepped. My hair was in waves to my mid-back and parted deeply to the side.
Grandma had woken me up. She seemed terrified. Papa was getting Jessica up and we were meeting everyone in a clearing half a mile away from our house. I didn't know what was happening. No one would tell me.
Jessica held my hand as we tried to run to the clearing. I looked back and when we were two hundred feet from the house, it blew up; starting with Sam's nursery.
"What's happening?" I shouted as Papa pulled me along.
"We don't know!" Grandma said lowly. "The angels are attacking." Jess was crying and I've never seen a more determined look on Grandma's face. Papa looked terrified; it was happening again, for him. It took us hardly five minutes to get to the clearing where everyone was already. Everyone but me seemed to know what was going on. Jo took me from Papa and hugged me.
"John," Bobby said. "This ain't gunna go over well."
Papa nodded in agreement. He turned to me and Jess. "Whatever happens, you two stick together, got that?" I nodded and Jessica's grip on my hand tightened.
Kevin, Jo, and Charlie were in a small group off to the side. Jessica and I joined them, I was still unsure of what's happening. What did they mean that the angels were attacking?
"I was just saying that maybe this could be a good thing." Kevin said, filling us in. "A way to get back to Earth. We all died before our time and MJ-" he sent me small smile. "She hasn't died at all."
"But what about Earth," Jo rolled her eyes. "Dean and Sam aren't going to take very kindly to us; they'll probably just send us back themselves." Jessi winced and Jo gave her a silent apology. "Even with Cas, I mean; what if he thinks that we just got away from heaven."
"I think Cas would be cool with it," Charlie said. "He's always been pretty chill with the whole 'coming back to life thing'." Kevin agreed.
"I'm more concerned about Dean." Jessica said, she glanced at me. "How's he going to take MJ?" That stumped them.
"Did your house blow up, too?" I heard Rufus ask Papa who nodded grimly. "Shame. It was a nice lookin' house, John."
I had gotten bored with listening to Kevin, Jo, Charlie and Jess and eavesdropped on the elders. Ellen was talking lowly with Grandma and Karen, I couldn't make out what they were talking about but Rufus, Papa, Bobby and Will were louder and much easier to hear.
"We barely got outta our house." Will shook his head, glancing over at Jo. "Ash still ain't here." He frowned.
I then noticed that Ash had not been here, making jokes about his hair and talking crap about angels. It made my insides do backflips. Ash couldn't be gone. Not again. I took a half a step closer to Jess and she wrapped her arms around my shoulders. Who knew heaven was so scary?
"Whew!" I jumped as Ash clambered out from a bush. "Sorry guys, I got lost. Kept going back to-"
"We're just glad you're safe." Ellen interrupted, going over to hug him. Ash was taken aback before hugging Ellen back. He joined us after Ellen made sure he was fine.
"Your home blow up too?" He asked, slurred slightly and I quickly realized that he was drunk that that's what took him so long to get here. Only Ash could get drunk in heaven.
"Yes." I said softly. Jo shot me a sympathetic look. For everyone else, the house that blew up was a memory, but for me it was everything I've ever known. It was home.
"What's going on?" Jo demanded.
"From what I heard on the radio," Ash scratched the back of his neck. "There has been orders from God to drop us back off on Earth. They're trying to carry it out. From what else I could pick up, MJ's a big part of the overall plan." He had no filter drunk. Jo and Charlie glared at him and Kevin rubbed his temples.
"God, Ash," Jess snapped. "Could you think before you talk?"
Ash looked down at me and blinked several times before groaning. "Shoot! I didn't know she was there!" I rolled my eyes and mustered up a small groan but really, I was scared about this 'overall plan' Asah thinks I'm supposed to be apart of. "Sorry, MJ!"
"'S fine." I mumbled, leaning into Jess. "Look down, next time, Ash."
"MJ!" Grandma called. She waved me over. Jess looked hesitant, like she didn't want me to walk twenty feet alone but she let me go and I jogged to Grandma. Papa put his bulk arms around my shoulders to keep me in place.
"What'd Ash say that made Jess look about to kill 'im?" Rufus asked.
"He said that on the radio, he could pick up that the angels are dropping us off on Earth because of an order from God." I said. "Ash said that they were talking about me, too. He thinks I'm part of something bigger."
"He said all that in front o' you?" Ellen demanded. I nodded. "Imma kill 'im!" She growled. Ellen glared at Ash and he cowered behind Kevin and Jo. "That boy has no filter!"
"He's fine," I shook my head. "I hate not knowing; at least now I'm aware."
"Smart girl," Karen smiled.
"How long do you think 'til we're pitched outta heaven?" Papa asked.
"Not long now." Will said, glaring at the walls of hedge that no cuts us off from the rest of heaven. "Now I just want to know how we're taking our leave."
"You don't think we'll be dropped, do you?" Pamela asked, smirking slightly.
"Never know," Bobby snorted. "They just might."
"Stay close to Jess, MJ." Grandma said, nodding for me to go back with the adolescents. I gave her a weak smile before slipping out of Papa's grasp and jogging back to Jess. What Pamela said made me wince; dropped from heaven? God, I hope not. But how else would we get out of it? No one here had any bodies left and I was just here.
They wouldn't drop us, would they? If they did, we'd die before we even go to see anyone. Jess pulled me into a cage of her arms and rested her chin on my head. I held myself around the middle and tried to zone out, but Kevin did a good job at keeping me in the loop of the conversation.
"MJ, are you okay?" Charlie asked after a while. The hedge was a hundred feet high and beginning to block out the sun that was in the east.
"Hmm," I hummed, looking over at her.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just tired." I said truthfully. They didn't necessarily need sleep, but I did and I think I only got a few hours of sleep. She nodded and Kevin told me that Ash would let me use him as a pillow. I snorted. "I can't sleep with that much beer on him breath. It's the only thing keeping me awake now."
"Hey!" Ash said dramatically while everyone else in the circle laughed. "I didn't drink that much!"
"Yeah, right," I said, rolling my eyes.
There was a tremor in the ground before the ground began to shake violently. Grandma and Papa stumbled towards us, wrapping us in a hug just as the ground opened up and we all fell through.
