The Hidden Past Chapter One

The Hidden Past

 

 

A cold December night, four days before Christmas a young mother who had lost her husband and son during a plane crash, the remains were never found, was reading a passage from the Bible to her daughter Annabelle

A long time ago before there was time God created the heaven and earth. But the earth had no shape, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. On the first day God said “Let there be light”. And there was light. God called the light Day and the darkness He called Night.

God said “Let there a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the water from the waters” And it was so. On the second day, God made the sky to divide the waters above it and waters below it.

God said “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place a land and le the dry land appear”. And it was so.

God said “Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing their kind, wherein is the see thereof, upon the earth” And it was so. On the third day, God made the earth, the plants, the trees, the grass and all that grows for the earth

God said “Let there be light in the sky to divide the day from the night and let them be for signs and seasons and for days and for years” And it was so. On the fourth day, God made the sun, moon and stars.

God said “Let the waters be filled with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the skies” And it was so. On the fifth, God made all the creatures that live in the sea and all the birds that fly in the skies. And God saw that it was good. And blessed them and told them to be fruitful and multiply.

God said “Let the earth being forth the living creatures” And it was so. So God made all the animals that live on the earth. Then God said “Let Us make man in Our image. Let them have rule over the fish and the birds and the creatures that live on the earth, and over all the earth” So God made man in His own image, both male and female. On the sixth day. God made all the creatures that live on land, and He made the first man and the first, Adam and Eve.  And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and told them to be fruitful and multiply. He placed Adam in the garden to rule over it and to care for it. And God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He made; and He rested on the seventh day from all the work which HE done. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it because on that day He rested from the work which He done in making our universe. On the seventh day, God rested.

“It's time for bed time, missie” said her mother, with the gentle and sweet tone as she pinched her daughter’s  soft cheeks

“But mum what about Adam and Eve? Did they live forever?” Annabelle said,

“Right now the only thing you should worry about is your dreams” her mother said and she put the Bible back on the bookshelf

“Mum don’t go……….. I’m afraid” She said while whimpering for her to stay

“Of what the big bad wolf?” she said, giggling

“No, of demons”

“If they come and attack you remember to say the holy Mary and our Father” her mother said and handled to her a cross “Hold on to these and remember what I said”

Her mother covered her daughter with the blankets and kissed her lightly on her forehead and left the room

“Don’t be scared Annabelle, God is always with you”, she said, whispering in her sleep

Outside two angels were goofy around, one was dangling for the balcony and the other one was staring at Annabelle and she slept. They both wore white tops and jeans. Their wings were covered with a dove’s feather ever inch of it.  Their skin was pale white as snow.

“You really are a big ert” Kyung said as he tried to pull himself up from the balcony

“God both gave us a set of rules to take care of Annabelle” Zico said, as he slapped Kyung on the head

“You even know her name” Kyung said, trying to recover from Zico’s slap

“That’s not important. We both are her guardian angels and we have to prevent from doing any danger” Zico said

“Fine, speaking of which when is it going to happen?” Kyung said, curiously

“Soon” Zico said

“Poor girl,” Kyung said as they both flew into the window

“Kyung, you go guard the door and make sure no one comes unless I say so” Zico commanded and Kyung ordered. Zico flew over Annabelle who was still holding onto the cross tightly and he petted her on the head.

“Zico, someone coming up” Kyung said as he dashed besides him

“It’s time” Zico said, as he lifted up Annabelle from her bed and both of them flew through the window, suddenly a scream could be heard and both of them stopped and examined the building

“So, this is was it feels like to lose your parents” Kyung said, feeling pity for the girl“She must be freezing” Zico said as he curled her up into his shoulders

“It shows you were her big brother Zico”

“Now I’m here guardian angel”

He heard a mourn coming from Annabelle who was shaking in his arms “Oh no, she’s waking up”, Zico said

“Quick there an orphanage down the street”, Kyung said

They both flew the fastest their wings could go until they reached the orphanage, Zico wrapped Annabelle with sheets from the bed and placed her gently on the pavement next to the orphanage and rang the doorbell.

“Let’s go before we’re discovered” Zico said they both flew into the night sky just in time. A nun opened the door to find a child sleeping on the pavement in the cold night.

“Darling, wake up” the nun said, as she shook her gently

“What happened? How did I end up here?”she said, looking everywhere

“I don’t know”

“Who are you?”

“I’m the head of the orphanage were are your parents?”

“My dad disappeared and my mum is back home”

“Could you show me where your home is?”

“Okay” Annabelle said as she grabbed the nun’s hand and dragged her down every corner of the street until they both reached Annabelle’s house. The door was busted and locks were broken and the windows were smashed into pieces

“Oh my! Is this your house?”

“Yes, but it wasn’t like these before” she pulled the nun into the house to found everywhere trashed. Photo frames were scattered on the floor.  They stepped on broken glass and the wallpaper was torn from its place

“I go check upstairs if my mother sleeping” Annabelle said as dashed up the stairs to search for her mother

The nun saw a closed door and immediately walked over to it to find blood spreading from underneath the door. She opened the door to find a body beaten and abused than knocked onto the floor. She was a female and she was dead. Her blood was draining out of her body and the nun gasped from air and she walked out of the room. She saw the little girl coming down the stairs

“My mum is not there I think she is in the kitchen” Annabelle almost got passed the nun, but the nun pulled her back and lifted her up

“No, your mummy is not there but she left a note saying that you can come and live with and the other children at the orphanage from a while”

“But I don’t know you”

“My name is Sister Petra”

“Okay, I’m Annabelle”

“What a nice name”

They spoke until they reached the orphanage, Petra opened the door and enter the building

Above in the heaven Zico and Kyung were being welcomed by God

“Well done, but this is not the end” God said, as put his arms on there shoulders

“You must guard her with your life until the day has arrived” He first stared at Kyung but than looked to Zico “Especially you Zico, don't want your sister to become one of HIM”

“I will guard her with my life”  Zico said and bowing respectfully to God
