PROJECT GOD: THE BEGINING

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: ALL THE BRIGHT LIGHT

Bright light surrounded me everywhere. It was all white. I looked down, my clothes were clean and white. I checked for my wounds; the stabs and the gun wounds. It wasn't there anymore

"Ali" I knew that voice. I looked up.

"Alvin" I asked uncertainly. He was wearing the same clothes like me. He smiles at me.

"Am I dead?" I asked uncertainly.

"Not yet" Aisha said, appearing suddenly out of nowhere, "You're fighting to live"

"Aggrhh" I winced in pain as I kneeled on the ground, holding my abdomen. I took short breaths.

"Do you think it's worth it?" Al asked.

"What do you mean, Al?" I asked him.

"This is all you'll ever want Alix" Emma said. I freaked out, these people started coming out of nowhere.

"This is all you'll ever want" They all said in unison and laughed. 

I ran away only to realize that I didn't go anywhere. I shook my head and winced in pain again. A familiar touch greeted my shoulder.

"Alix" he said, "It's gonna be all right. I am here for you"

I groaned in pain as I turned around, "Skyler?" I said, the pain almost immediately went away. He smiled at me helping me up. 

"Let go Alix" he said, "Stay here with me" he held my hand and looked deep into my eyes. He was leaning in for a kiss as I looked at his beautiful eyes; although he was calm, his eyes told a very different story. It spoke of pain. 

I shook my head and withdrew, "This is not real" I said to myself.

We were still holding hands when I said to all of them, "This isn't real..... Agggrhhhh" I screamed as I collapsed into the ground due to the burning abdominal pain.

I opened my eyes to see Skyler being beaten up, Ahmed fighting and dad was devastated, but still fighting.

---------------------------------------------------

"You're outnumbered" Hamaed  Raaed said. There were seven men against dad, Skyler and Ahmed.

"Not anymore" I said, joining them. Everybody was utterly shocked; only three happy, "That's right, I am back from the dead"

"Impossible" Jake said.

"Miracles don't happen to you because you don't believe" I said and attacked Jake.

"How was heaven McHill?" He asked trying to save himself from my recurrent attacks.

"It's nice" I said, as I punched him in the face, "It's a pity you're not going there"

My years of training in Taekwondo came to use, Jake was badly beaten up. 

"Hell-bound?" He said, laughing, "I'd gladly on your hands than that American" He looked at Skyler, "Bloody Americans"

"You're fearless, McHill" he said, "It's a pity, we would have made a great team.

"It's over Jake" I said; looking around, he realized that it was over for him. Allen Smith was dead, his father almost dead and Raaed fled leaving him.

"I think on some level, I knew" he said, "It was gonna end like this" He said, attacking me. 

"Jake" I said, fighting him, "You don't have to do this anymore" 

He stopped and sighed.

"For what it's worth, I am sorry" he said.

I sat down leaning against a pillar panting. My stab wound was burning. Seconds later a gunshot was heard followed by a thud.

Skyler helped me up, "You okay Alix?" He asked.

I nodded, Mom and Dad rushed to me and hugged me.

"Oh honey" Mom said kissing my forehead.

"Let's get the hell out of here" Dad said.

---------------------------------------------

Raaed escaped the tomb with that one treasure he wanted more than anything; the holy grail. Now he had the full on intention to destroy the  tomb.

"So close McHill's" He said before detonating the explosive.

------------------------------------------

We reached where Al was; he was out cold and his pulse was gone. I sat down crying. Everything started rattling

"Oh mannnn" Skyler said, "we can't catch a break, can we?". Blocks and pillars came apart. 

"This place is gonna collapse, we have to get out of here now" he said and looked at me. I wasn't paying attention.

"No, No, No, No" I cried, "W can't leave him here" I hit Skyler as he dragged me away from Alvin's body, "Skyler stop" I screamed; he didn't listen to me. I broke my self free and screamed at him, "Why are you doing this?" Skyler sighed, "Alix, Alvin wouldn't want you dying down here" He held my hand and put a keychain in my hand, "He asked me to give this to you" I looked at it; it was from Al's favorite India; he had it specially made for him.

"Come on Alix" He put forward his hand, "Let's get out of here" I nodded with tears in eyes. We made it till the preparation room where I felt lightheaded because of the blood loss and passed out.

Picking me up, Skyler said, "Come on, McHill! Just a little more"
