Boom

“What do you think of my land?” Rachel spoke pointing the sites and shaking my head I spoke, “The statue is an eyesore... Why not a dragon or lion, something nice... even Eden’s Gate cross is better” “But the flowers...” “Are controlling the people to kill each other and be mindless followers, if this collapse does happen, what use will they be in solving problems apart for being Slaves!” she looked down before nodding said, “They won’t feel any pain like I did or the other people, no more pain or **** just bliss!” I looked over to a group of angels tearing a non Peggie apart and looking over she looked away before justifying her actions spoke, “You have to squash those who disagree with you!” “So you are oppressors...” “No we freeing those who seek to be free from the government and others who would see us with nothing. God has spoken to Joseph telling him this is, he has told us that we all have a purpose and we must prepare for the collapse and when the seals are open we will be welcome into the Garden!” I thought about it before saying, “The seals of the apocalypse? So how does one open them according to Joseph ideology? He said one was open when I arrived...” she nodded before saying, “Trying to take him away was the first Seal. John is the one, I’m one and Jacob is one...killing us opens it. If you killed John you would have been responsible for opening two!” I laughed looking at Grace who laughed to, “So I would have been the lamb of God...Who opens them? And yet I am the bad guy? Wouldn’t that make you the horsemen of the apocalypse?? Still making you bad...” “Joseph says...” “Joseph is a mad man who can just speak well in front of a crowd! A bit like Hitler” Grace commented causing Faith to growl, “He will lead us into the next world a hero!” “A remember crossing over to Jacobs territory a while back and all I saw was this idea that me trying to stop the Jacob and Eden’s Gate wasn’t being a hero... I never claimed to be one!” “Deputy you are one...let me tell you this Faith! Heroes sacrifice themselves not because a voice tells them to but because it’s the right thing to do. A hero doesn’t sacrifice his own people to fulfil and supposed prophecy. A hero doesn’t stupid shit when they should have but because they are trying their best to save everyone they can. I have served alongside many and Joseph isn’t. The guy next to you could be one...he could have just walked over and handed himself in to you hoping you would take him in or walked away because he could have. He stayed and helped me, helpless Nick and Kim...he confronted John not because he wanted to because someone had to, he didn’t ask for much just somewhere for him to lay his head, free booze and me and him got close but that’s it! I thought he would have strayed from his aims but when everyone else badmouthed you, he stood up for you and hell even started a bar fight over you, he fought six resistance guys just for saying you were nothing more than a teasing evil demon! Hell the resistance refused to even work with him... I stood by him because I respect him and Nick because he made an agreement to take you and to never come back!” Faith studied me before asking, “The truth?” I nodded before saying, “Rachel...I still have the scar from the bottle shot to my head. Jerome said I was as delusional as the Seed’s but I was freeing people and stopping John so I should be respected for that!” “Look Ash... things have changed, I want out as I said but I can’t just leave this because we want to, I have a duty and that is what I must do!” I nodded before saying, “So...you are saying that you won’t stop or help stop this?” “If I do Joseph will punish me again! Please don’t make me choose!” I nodded before looking at Grace spoke, “Fine then! I’m sorry Faith, I was wrong in thinking you were still the girl I once knew... I can’t even stomach to say your true name!” “Ash don’t be like that...” “I thought I could destroy you from within and sneak away you when it crashed and burned but it’s clear you are too far gone from reality that this is all wrong, so very wrong!” I undid my belt before hearing the car stop spoke, “Come on Grace there isn’t anything to say!” she nodded before climbing out of the car spoke, “Good luck Faith... One of us won’t be so fortunate!”
