Chapter 19 - A Message

Kenny woke up at around 5 am in the morning because he heard some voices. At first he thought he heard it in his sleep, but then he heard them again, so he quickly got out of bed and tried to understand where they were coming from. It seemed that they were coming from his back garden. He looked out of the curtain of the window facing the garden and saw a confusing sight. It was Angelika talking to someone who looked like an archangel. He had fair hair and shiny blue eyes. It seemed that the archangel was bringing some news to her. Kenny listened in through the glass of the window to listen to their conversation.
- “The time is running out. You don’t have much of it left.” The archangel said.
- “I know I know.” Angelika said, “just give me a bit more time.”
- “It’s not up to me to decide. You know that.” Archangel said.
- “I was just told to tell you that you have about 28 hours left. In the end it doesn’t matter that much if you fail. Your mission was voluntary anyway.”
- “I will make those 28 hours count. And I still need to destroy the fallen one.”
- “The fallen can’t stay here that long either, so don’t worry about him.” Archangel said.
- “Well why am I given so little time anyway?” Angelika wondered.
- “Your dominion says that your idea hasn’t really worked and that you are needed for more important jobs. Sorry to be the messenger of bad news.”
- “It’s all right.” Angelika sighed, “But I won’t give up. If little time is what I’m given, then I’ll put every second to good use.”
- “I really hope you’re right and wish you best of luck.”
At this moment archangel spoke something in a strange language and eventually disappeared into a bright light. Angelika still stood there. Kenny wanted to come outside and reassure her, but at that moment she flew off.
Kenny really felt the urge to help Angelika there. He was now aware that she was running out of time and was trying to figure something out that he could do to make sure that her mission wasn’t for spite. However he was still half asleep and so decided to postpone the planning till he can properly wake up and so went back to bed.
The next couple of hours went fast and Kenny woke up again, this time fully refreshed. The first thought in his mind was to help Angelika, so while getting ready he kept on thinking very hard.
That was until he heard Angelika’s sweet voice beside him.
