The Overcomer

Prologue

"Oceania, I want you to take care of your brother for me, okay?" Her mother asked on her dead bed. Oceania shook her head, "No, Mommy, because you will be there with us." She cried as her mother asked of the one thing she couldn't deal with. Her mother asked her to take care of her brother, after she was gone. "Oceania, you must, please. The angels have shown me what your father will do, you must promise me." Her mother begged. Oceania understood, "Okay, Mama, I'll take care of Jay for you." Her mother sighed, "Thank you, Oceania. Thank you, God, for giving me this kind girl to be my daughter. You took pity on a woman with a horrible husband and gave her beautiful children, thank you." Those were her last words before she died.

A year later-

"Oceania, Jay, I'm getting married. This is Jada, your new mother." He took the hand of a girl that looked about in her twentys. Their mother was twenty-four when she died. Their father is twenty-seven. This girl was marrying a man that was seven years older than her.

Oceania hadn't talked to her father since her mother died, remembering what she said to her. She only talked to Jay and to her mother. Oceania got her mother's gift of talking to the dead but only the people in heaven or angels. Jay had it too but that was because of their father. These people were called heaven speakers.  The girl was in a black dress and dark make-up. Her heals clicked on the marble floor of their two story house. She smiled, "Hello, children, I'm Jada."

About two months later Jada and their father were married. Oceania talked to her mother about it and her mother agreed that Jada was bad news. Jada talked to their father and she had convinced him that Oceania and Jay were evil.

Their father didn't believe her so he did nothing but over a year Jada told him nothing but lies and when he finally thought they were true he banished them from his house and told them to go die. Oceania took her brother, not shedding a tear, and walked out. Jay didn't understand but that could have been from a number of things, like, Oceania not crying, their father wishing they were dead, Jada with a smile on her face as they went, or that they were six and four and their father was telling them to leave and not come back.

They walked and walked and saw a seven year old boy with his eight year old sister doing the same but most likely just orphans. They found a place to stay the night and turned on the T.V. in their room. It said the two kids they saw had been run over by a bus. When this reached their father he was filled with joy that his children were gone. Days later when he found out his new wife was going to have children he filled with grief for his late children. Jada on the other hand told him more lies about them. Her first two pregnancies were fake so she told him that his children's spirits made her lose her children. She was a hell speaker, someone that could speak to the people in hell and demons. She spoke to her mother that came up with the idea.

With this their father was angered again by this. When Jada finally really was pregnant with his children, she had a boy and he was a heaven speaker.

Heaven and hell speakers have a funny way of spreading. If the father was a heaven speaker then the son would be but only if the mother was one too, 100% male and female would be heaven speakers. If the father or mother were a heaven speaker and the other was normal then there would always be a 50-50 chance of the male or female would be a heaven speaker or normal, same with hell speakers. But if one parent was a hell speaker and the other was a heaven speaker there is a 90-10, in heaven's favor, for the child or children to be one or the other.  

Jada was angered by him and sent him away. Claiming the child was killed by Oceania and Jay their father was once again furious. The boy in reality was found by his ten year old sister and eight year old brother. They knew who he was because their mother had talked to them about it and about all the other children that was to come, where they would be, and told Oceania how to take care of them.

"Jay, this is our little brother, what do we name him?" Oceania asked her brother. "Lets name him Oliver, Mom always said she liked that name." Oceania nodded. "Okay, little Oliver, we'll take good care of you." They walked back to their foster home. Their foster parents were heaven speakers so they understood many things. They were told of the many other abandoned children to come and to let Oceania take care of them.

Over the next two years they had taken in their twin sisters and one brother. They named the girls Iris and Ivy and the boy Stephen. Oliver was three, Oceania was thirteen, Jay was eleven, Iris and Ivy were two, and Stephen had just turned one when they found the final child to be abandoned, a baby boy they name Ryan.

By this time Jada gave up on having a hell speaker. She had had five children one year apart for four years to come up with nothing but five heaven speakers. This would be her last child and if it wasn't a hell speaker then the child would be once again sent away. On that day Oceania was told that two more children would be found to her surprise. Her mother hadn't known about this. A guardian angel had told her that two more children would be found.

Her mother knew many things but wasn't sure of how many children was going to need to be found. They found the children and named them, Seraphina and Malach (pronounced Mallic).

Soon good and bad things will happen to the family of siblings and many things will be found.
