The Bible Says--Part 4







“AAAAHHHH!” I scream as cold water is being poured onto my face, “What the hell?!”



“Calm down Trunks. You’ve been out of it for a very long time and this was our last option,” I stare at Videl’s candid facial features through wet eyelashes as she hands me a towel. I dry my face off and sit up.

Seeing that everyone is here with solemn hints to their faces at the corporation reminds me of what was going on earlier….and if it is true we are in a shit load of trouble.



“So has anyone come up with any ideas?” I ask, lost to what chapter they are in.



“There isn’t anything to come up with if it’s the end,” I hear my father retort.



“So what are we gonna do? Maybe we can stop it somehow,”



“And how do you figure we do that?”



“….I don’t know,”



“I think that might’ve been the best we’ve come up with so far,”



“You aren’t taking this seriously enough!” All eyes were on Videl as she raises her voice. “We are in a crisis and you all are acting as if this is some sort of game! What are we going to do?!”



“Videl listen to me…,” Goku clinches her forearms, “we are trying our best. There may not be anything we can do, fate is fate,”



“We are in more trouble than we’ll ever get out of and that’s all you have to say?! I cant believe you! We are going to die! Doesn’t anyone see that besides me?!” We watch her in silence as the tears roll down her cheeks…and she storms out of the room.



She’s right. He’s right….I don’t know what to do or say. I am in between a rock and a hard place with my thoughts as I sit here with my legs pulled up to my chest fingering the towel that she handed me.



“What are we suppose to do then, Videl?” He says after her but she says nothing. He then resumes his position in the chair with a disheartening hint of his face. He stares at the floor for a while then back up at us. “…What if she’s right? What if there’s somethin’ we can do and we are just sittin’ around doin’ nothin’?”



“Come on dad,” I hear Goten speak for the first time since our cell phone conversation, “You heard the news just like everyone else….this might be the revelation,”



“So what if it is? We just die like everyone else?”



“We wont die right away…” My father adds, “How do you know?”



“Well believe it or not if it is the revelation there will be seven years of hell on earth…your mother was always trying to get me to read that book,”



“Maybe we should just see what they’re saying on TV?” I speak up not wanting to buy into that even though deep down I had a feeling that it was true.

I walked in a straight line staring straight ahead trying my hardest not to advert my eyes to the bodies that laid on each side of the side walk, trails of old and fresh blood in the grass and bloody handprints on the bark of the big oak tree that I remember playing on and around when I was younger with Goten…



Those days or any future peaceful days for that matter, we’ll never see again. They’re long gone. This world is finally coming to an end its just a matter of time…as my mother forewarned me of…as so many things forewarned me of and I didn’t want to listen. But not that I could be really upset with myself because an ending is an ending and there’s no room for regrets. /but maybe if I’d realized a little sooner, I could be where they are…/



The only thing to do now is to sit back and see what happens, to see how I and everyone else will die, or maybe I will be able to watch horridly as the blood sheds even more and explosions erupt until it gets to me…



I look up at the dark gray sky as the strong cold wind blows my hood off of my head and I wince as the loudness of the thunder stings my sensitive ears. I pull my hood back over my head as it begins to rain and I walk deeper into nothingness, lost with a million unanswered questions going through me like fish inside of an aquarium…and what makes it so bad is the majority of them are things that I should already know….



An umbrella would be futile, I mean what would I be saving myself from? Water? Ha, that’s the least of my and everyone else’s quandaries.



It is raining harder now as I still continue to walk not having a certain place to be or having a reason to be anywhere because it seems as though we will be where God or who ever it is wants us to be soon enough.



“Excuse me, young man?”



I come completely out of my thoughts and direct my attention to the officer approaching me. “It isn’t safe outside, can you please return to your home?” His gray eyes stare distressfully into mine as I watch a man behind him run up to the police car and smash the windows out of it, beating it like a drunk abusive husband beats his wife. “Shit!” he curses as he turns his attention to the car. I watch his chubby form run as I decide to take flight.



The cold wind burns my eyes as I fly in the opposite way of its direction, not a coherent reason for even doing so beckoned my better judgment. Minutes maybe even hours, hell I don’t know, have passed me as the treetops are left further and further behind me and the environment grows more and more familiar to me…./I know I’ve been through here before…/



I vaguely spot two small houses sitting side by side a few miles away, one with several lights on inside of it and the other looked abandoned…/Okay…/



I get a little closer and... /Goku’s house? And Gohan’s? Did I really fly all the way to Mt. Poazu?/ I drop down to the ground in front of the two houses and walk up to the house with all the lights on….which is Gohan’s house. My first thought was that someone was inside of the house looting it until I notice that it is quiet…too quiet.



I open the door and no one is in sight. “Hello?”



“Who’s there?!” I hear a familiar women’s voice and drop my guard.



“Videl?”, a long pause, “…what are you doing here?”



“I cant be in my own house?” She says grimly while coming out of the shadows, allowing herself to be seen.



“Well I’m assuming that since everyone is at the corporation that’s where everyone agreed to stay…why’d you come here?”



“I didn’t know what else to do Trunks. I’m going to die and I’m not ready! This is all too much for me…”



I watch her as she bursts into tears and collapse on the couch, wanting to help in anyway I could but knowing that there is nothing that I or anyone else can do. I sigh.



“Videl…”, I breathe knowing that nothing I say could possibly calm her but watching her like this is breaking me apart. “Don’t give up yet….there’s got to be something we can do…” I lie. I sit next to her hoping that my nearness and soft words will help her expressively.



“There isn’t a damn thing that you or I or anyone else can do and you know it….its really over isn’t it…?” She says through sobs.



“C’mon Videl! You just told Goku and everyone else that they were just sitting on there asses doing nothing when everyone’s lives are a stake…of course it isn’t over…it cant be. We‘ll get through this and we‘ll find Gohan and everyone else,”



She looks up at me with tear-blurred vision, “Okay?” I force myself a smile.



She opens her arms and swing them around my neck. I embrace her in return. Maybe I can make her feel good one last time, to get her mind off of this and make her forget about the world, even if it is just for one night I can make it seem like eternity…because we certainly do not have it.



*And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.*
