Chapter 42: FEELING OF DANGER

The chilling breeze had never been as deadly,

The cold roof tiles, never been so unsteady,

Even their breathes were like poison ivy,

Don't take many, for you'll slip if not slowly.

The darkness was not the problem,

Eleazar's hand glows, and they can see without hassle,

But what bothers them most was the foul smell of decaying flesh,

After all, it's hard to balance, when the air isn't fresh.

Isabelle felt like throwing up,

While Robert felt a bit dizzy,

Sleep deprived and hungry,

This isn't an easy task for many.

"Watch your steps, alright?" The angel reminded looking back,

But Stacy lost her footing,

And slipped behind me, as I yelled in surprise,

How unfortunate she lost her luck.

Even though unsure if I won't fall back down either,

My body moved on its own and swooped to reach her,

Eleazar quickly fended off the monsters who planned to eat her,

As I succesfully carried her up, I couldn't believe it, I felt stronger.

My heart was beating fast,

as I feared I'd witness her be munched as snacks,

I tried to calm myself down,

As Stacy began to cry with the moment renown.

The angel looked at us in great annoyance,

"Stop messing around, causing such disturbance!

Your life is in your hands!

For I cannot save you all at once!"

He said in a serious face, as his wings were wide open, tensed and straight,

He put his hand, covering his face,

Mumbling words, with his eyes closed.

The monsters kept moaning, trying to reach us,

As others began clawing, the actions loud and fast,

Eleazar carried the trembling Stacy, as Mar walked behind me,

Supporting me up to continue moving,

We walked more and more,

A path...that seems unending.

...

Thank God, no one fell after Stacy,

And in time Eleazar halted on a smooth looking roof,

It was made of cement, and had a few plants already growing,

There was also some dead bird, with some ants already showing.

Eleazar told us to rest there,

As we'd die if we continue on,

He warned us not to leave,

As he'll get food, to clear out hunger,

and obvios drought.

I've never felt so tired, my legs in great fatigue,

As my eyes shut on their own,

The black circles surrounding them, ever so big.

We slept that point, maybe not all, but I knew I did,

I never knew how long, and I never expected any dream,

But as my thoughts turned to a black void,

I realized another dream, I wouldn't avoid.

At first, all I hear was continuous static,

It was from my childhood,

A scene so vivid, as I hear the noise of traffic.

My neighbors were fighting again,

While I'm alone by myself again...

My brother left for school, as my mom was working.

I felt alone, although I could hear clearly the moans next room,

My neighbors loved to do it and I never have the chance to sleep,

My nanny looked at me, her eyes scared I might ask something,

But I didn't, I don't care if anything.

I don't understand what it was,

But I didn't question it, no matter what,

It was until I grew older that I realized,

Just what those heavy breathing were,

And why my nanny looked so scared,

But sometimes even laughs.

The next scene was I, seeing a young girl,

Going out with an adult man,

They kissed on the lips as he opens the car door for her,

I tried to walk away, 'cause why even bother?

But as I pass down the car, I felt my heart quicken its beat,

Is the girl into it? Or...was she forced down to surrender her gift?

I heard a girly laughter, and the familiar moans,

I covered my ears, 'cause to hear it was gross,

I couldn't believe it, how dare that man abuse his power,

She was so naive, can't believe she would betray her mother.

I thought that was the last time I'd think about it,

Until I opened the tv and the news went viral,

The little girl's body was dumped on a bridge,

The suspect fled, the case still not final.

I felt scared, guilty, body trembling,

If I saved her, I might have been dead as well,

But when I didn't she was dumped and forced to fell,

This world...is...surely a freaking hell.

From then on, even though filled with guilt I try not to bother with other's business,

Afraid to be endangered, even as a witness,

Afraid to entangle, myself with distress,

As I turned a blind eye to everyday horrors,

Wary that I might become a victim of those monsters.

But the moment Stacy slipped, I felt a quick whisper,

And I just did it, I held her,

Because I'm more afraid if I live alone,

And at that moment, my heroics won.

I opened my eyes, sweat all over,

As Mar looked at me wide-eyed,

Worried in I dream, deeply I dwell and rover.

I looked at the group, and Eleazar was back,

And yet why do I feel a tight feeling in my chest?

And a whisper so very persistent,

Saying that danger, was at its best.

I rubbed my eyes, and tried to calm myself,

But the feeling of threat, won't simply retreat,

Eleazar the angel, why do you give off such feeling?

Why is my guts telling me, that there's something you're concealing?
