   That's it. Everyone was officially crazy. "The End?", hell no. Not today.
This must've been all a big prank, yes, or a dream. Wake up Angel! I tried pinching myself and closing my eyes but when I opened them the Muslim guy in front of the car was still kissing the ground.
"Angel, please repent.", Owen begged, but I didn't want to hear this now. Not ever. I hopped out of the car and ran toward the clear school doors, when I tried to open them they were locked. I spotted Lloyd From the inside and banged hard enough for her the hear me above the sound of crumbling cement. She ran towards the door, panic over her features, she couldn't seem to open it either.
   A female voice abruptly sounded, "Do not fear, it will all be over soon.", the voice was in my head. I look toward  Lloyd on the other side of the glass door, she seemed to have heard the same thing as a look of confusion crossed her features.
Then it all happened. The shadows. Dark shadows. They were hovering over people, the praying people, happy people, crying people, then their bodies just vanished. POOF. Just like that.
My heart nearly stopped at the sight, I turned back around to face Lloyd, except she wasn't there anymore. I ran back to my car to check on Owen, he wasn't there. My chest felt tight. My breathing, heavy. What was going on?
Buildings went crashing, cars honking, the sun darkening the sky red instead of bringing light, clouds paused in the air. The voice sounded again in my head,"It's okay Angel. We mean good."
I felt a presence behind me. The shadow. No, this is not happening. I ran and ran until it Swallowed Me whole. Everything went blank.

         "Hey darling, you okay?", My eyes opened to find Owen standing in front of me, Owen! It was Owen! "What did you do to her?", he asked the pale man sitting beside me. It was all a dream.
"Nothing, I was reading bible verses and she fell asleep.", the pale man answered. A dream.
My palms were sweaty and I felt sick but I still went to hug Owen. I was happy it was all a big dream.
"C'mon Angel, let's go.", Owen dragged me to the car, his eyes never leaving the pale Christian.
"Hi Owen.", I probably had the creepiest expression ever. I felt a smile cross my features as I stared at him.
"Hi Angel.", his own smile grew to match mine, then he pecked my lips before starting to drive off.
"So.. I had A Dream.", he didn't look surprised, he answered with a nod.
So I continued,"... It was really weird.. Everything was happening at once..", I told him everything while he listened intently but never taking his eyes off the road.
"Me? Did the darkness get me?", he finally answered.
"I don't know, I didn't see. I just came back and you were gone.", he replied with a deep breath.
"We're praying tonight. No if and's or but's Cathia.", I knew he was serious, he only called me by my last name when he was. I couldn't argue, it was final. I hated praying it reminded me of my last family.

Flashback:

         "Get back here you brat!", Pastor John chased me down the house with the burning holy water. I didn't want to do this. Not tonight. He finally caught me by my pig tails and dragged me to the bath tub. "How can you be such a devil with a name as pretty as Angel?", he called me a devil but I know I didn't do anything wrong. Did I?
He started to speak in tongues, it all sounded like Garbage Latin. He then poured the holy water on my head, he called it holy water but it was always this black and icky goo. I can't wait till  he burns in hell!
It took me by surprise when he threw me into the tub, he didn't let me come up for a very long time. I could see little sparks then the darkness seeps in.
He brings me back up just in time to pour hot candle wax on my arm.
Please God. Take me out of here.
