The Prophecy (Chapter 1)
The Prophecy Chapter 1 - Find the girl. Richard is awoken in his sleep to the voices of two unknown people. Noticing Belle is not beside him, he grabs the shotgun and approaches to find her in a dire situation. Instead he finds something even more shocking....But what is it? Read and find out.
What's going on? Where's Belle? The old man stood up and walked around his bed as he heard the silent murmuring of two voices coming from outside his farm house. Before exiting his house he grabbed the shotgun and approached silently from the rear. The smell of fresh dew on the grass could be smelled immediately after exiting the door and he took a large breathe before approaching the voices. Maybe Belle was just talking to the pregnant cow Martha. You never know though it could be burglars looking for some good seeds for the taken. He snickered mentally. You do not want to wake an old man up from his rest.
The breeze blew his gray and white tuft of hair and he blew his bangs from his eyes and slightly clenched the gun in support. He took a large gulp and crouched behind a barrel filled with some type of animal feed. Cows mooed in the distance and the crows cawed at the scarecrows ugly faces. The sun was beginning to ascend and the sky turned a peachy color. He peered over the edge of the barrel and saw Belle looking into the safety of the barn.
"Who are you?" She asked in a slightly awed voice.
"A messenger of some sort." The angelic voice replied.
Belle began to inch backwards and he finally saw the glowing figure step out of the barn doors. He had golden hair that glowed like the sun and a robe as white as snow. His wings spanned out beside him and Belle put a shaking hand to her mouth.
"You're an angel?" She asked in a whisper.
The angel nodded and his hair fell over his back. "I am here to tell you of a prophecy."
The old man set his gun aside and began to approach the two figures. "Are you going to take her from me?"
Belle gasped. "Richard." He gently took her weathered hand into his and squeezed reassuringly looking into her blue eyes.
The angel smiled at Richard accepting that there would be two to tell the prophecy to. "There will be a day where the world will be draped in darkness and there will be no escape. God said this period of time will test the will of his children and that if they could not survive then he had failed."
The old man cleared his throat. "So what do two elderly people have to do with this prophecy?"
The angel suddenly got a somber expression still gentle but staid and unwavering. "You like me are just messengers but you will meet a young lady and she will determine the fate of man."
Belle squeezed Richard's hands in console as she saw he was beginning to shake. "How will we know who this young lady is?"
The angel smiled and looked into the distance as if recalling a precious memory. "She has light blondish-brown hair, Steel-gray eyes and is about 5' 5". She is shy and modest but bubbly and spontaneous. Her name is May and she is very special to me.
The old man sneezed and he pulled his robe closer shut."Is that all you can give us sir?"
He shook his head."She has the softest skin that is paler then the moon. She is a gentle creature and wouldn't hurt a fly. Introverted and reserved she is but you will find her in the most oddest of a place. She is not there on her own will."
Belle sighed."Is this all we have to do? Tell people of this prophecy."
The angel nodded and looked into the heavens. "It's about time I got going. It's been splendid to speak to you and please find her. Oh and her mortal name is May. "
With one last look at the couple he smiled and said. "Isabelle miss's you both dearly but she said to tell you she is safe and waiting for you." Then he was soaring into the sky and suddenly he vanished into the clouds.
Belle looked at Richard with a look of bewilderment. "Richard he said our baby...."
"Come here darling come inside you need to rest." Belle was starting to sob and Richard thought he would do anything to find this girl.
"We have to find her Richard! We can leave to town when we are both rested up."
He nodded and walked into the farmhouse to shut and lock the doors. "Let's get to the warmth of our house sweetheart."
Belle nodded and they hand in hand walked towards the house and towards a new destiny.
