Don't Let Go

Nefarious Beings

"Rose wake up, and get ready for church!" my mother sang. Sandy snuggled in my arms had his eyes wide open. "Dang it! When I finally started to believe the dream. It wasn't real." I was happy, but disappointed I have always wanted my bear to come alive. On the otherhand it would be weird. Sandy hopped up, and said "Fooled you!" He began laughing hysterically. I showed a surprised look on my face while feeling happy on tge inside. "Oh haha really funny." I said sarcastically. "I have to get ready."

I started the shower, and got in. As the soothing water hit me my mind cleared. I had to face reality that all what happened yesterday was real. After showering I put on a gold, and white dress.

Opening the bathroom door Sandy was right in front of it. I went past him. "So Rose where am I going to sit?"

"What are you talking about you're not going."

"Oh yes I am, because you need me."

Me and Sandy's argument prolonged for about 10 minutes.

My mom yelled "Rose come on!"

I looked at the bear, and he winked at me. I grabbed a beige tote bag with sunglasses on it, and growled "Ugh! Come on, and get in." He hopped in, and we went to the car. My father asked "What took so long Rosey?" I tried to think of a lie "Umm. I had to get my phone!"

Our ride was quiet, and calm.

When we got in the church my mother, and father went to the second row. I sat in the last row, because all of the other rows were full. The pastor began preaching. Everybody was focused on him. Sandy whispered from the bag "What is he talking about? I can't hear."

Without thinking "Revelation 4th chapter 11th verse.

Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created." Sandy looked at me in astonishment, and said "That's one of my favorite verses. What else is he saying?" I continued "Revelation 18th chapter 1st & 2nd verse.

After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird.

After I said the last verse the pastor grew quiet, and everybody else in the church did as well. I looked up from the bag, and everbody's attention was on me. Faces showing no emotion none of them blinked. "Sandy why is everybody staring at me?" I whispered as I took him out the bag. "Rose nobody is looking at you." They weren't looking at me anymore, but when I blinked nobody was no longer in the church. Just me, and Sandy. Confusion overwhelmed me "Rose nobody really disappeared. Its just an illusion only supernatural beings can see like you, and me."

The room grew extremely cold, and then shadows crept in the room. I looked at the windows to see dark figures on every window. "Sandy I'm freaking out." They began tapping on the windows. "Just calm down Rose. They can't come in here. It's a holy place. Though demons linger around churches." The tapping grew faster, and harder. Sandy climbed in my lap. So I clutched him to my stomach. They began whispering a name similar to mines "Rosario. Rosario. Rosario." over and over. I began panting, and my heart raced faster. I squeezed my eyes, and when I opened them everything was back to normal. A man turned around and asked me "Hey are you ok? " I cleared my throat and said "I'm perfectly fine." I picked up my bag with Sandy, and went to the restroom.

I went to the sink, and put the bag on the hook. Sandy popped out and said "I think that went well." Splashing water on my face made me feel a little better. "Yeah I was about to jump for joy!" I said sarcastically. The service ended, and somebody knocked on the door before entering. "Rose honey are you ok?" said my mother. She came in, and I instantly turned around to see Sandy. He ducked back in the bag. "Rose?" my mother called again. I chuckled nervously, and said "I'm fine mom!" We walked out the restroom as she swiftly followed me.
