Chapter 5: "Privi"

AUTHORS POV (right after your disappearance.)

"WHERE IS SHE?!"

Martha held the little ones in comfort while Nick was losing his cool in the middle of the crowd surrounding the dead Titan.

"Sir, please remain calm-"

"CALM?! First you people ring the bell while the Titan was still alive! Now the young girl who saved us has vanished like all the others!"

A woman spoke up from the crowd.

"Listen, I don't know what happened to that young girl! Nor do I know where the rest of the people who did what she did are!"

Nick did not like that, he took the solider and slammed him against the beasts evaporation body.

"You don't think I can't see that there is something going on within your corrupt military branch?"

Nick asked softly, thought it was loud enough for all the soldiers (all from different military branches) to hear... and glance at one another in concern.

Commander Dock looked up at Nick, the tightness of the slim man's grip stinging him with a slight bit of fear.

"I can see clearly that something isn't right here... for one, you say the same thing every time... plus you haven't put a break to this 'Holiday' in order to find out where these people are vanishing to... and you know what?... with my Father giving me the gift of discernment...I can see even more into your lying soul-"

Nile shoved Nick back, having him crash to the ground, and fixed his uniform.

"I've told you all plenty of times..."

Dock said over the crowd while fixing his creased sleeves.

"All these people have disappeared, because they used the Beast's steam as a cover up so they can get away."

"LIES!" The crowd screamed.

"You say that every time, you say the same thing without any proof!"

"TELL ME, WHERE WOULD THEY GO?!"

Commander Dock yelled, only to have Nick interrupt.

"My God helps me see things you cannot even imagine! I can CLEARLY see that something isn't right!"

Nile glared down at Nick and took a step to the old man, Martha growing fearful of the blade in Commander Dock's hand.

Slowly, Nile placed the blade under Nick's chin and whispered.

"If your God can see your pain and stort it out for you...why doesn't He help the rest of His 'Children'?"

"PANT...SIGH...Your's and the people's help...will come in the Father's way, and in the Father's time..."

"Oh really?"

Nile pulled his blade away and started walking off, shaking his head.

Immediately Martha gave the children to Sandra and went to help Nick up.

Nick stood, and yelled.

"We put ourselves here! This is our punishment, do none of you understand?! ...and the only ones who will survive this war are not the strongest or wisest... but the sheep who hear His voice!"

Nile turned around slowly, mouth hanging open in a mocking way as all the military stared back at Nick with a glare.

"So...a century is not long enough punishment?... having humanity pushed to the brink of extinction isn't far enough?
You want to act like a sheep?...then fine, cower away...lets see how far you get...
  Honestly, Nick...where is your God in this?"
