hatred.” After she finishes the Hymn my arms feel unscrewed and my legs wobble, and seconds later I am on the ground.


“I watch as my sister, Destin falls to the ground. I walk next to her where she lays on her back and I kneel on one knee and give Aphrodite a nod and say, “Thank you my goddess.” I tell her and bow. Justin walks out the bathroom and walks over to me. “What happened here?” he asked. I kiss him and say, “I don’t know if I can trust her, I almost killed her, then my gods saved her, I guess this isn’t the time for her to leave this planet.” “You know it won’t be for a long time.” he replies. “Remember what Tara told you.” he continues. ‘She will be different, you will be patient.’” he quotes. “Yeah, I know.” I say rolling my eyes. Seven years of being with him and 100 times he has told me that quote. Sometimes I just wish I lived in a big tree and my best friend was an acorn and I was married to a bottle of ketchup. Also sometimes I think I belong in a Mental Facility. I hear a clicking noise and notice my eyes are closed. I open them and see Justin snapping his fingers in front of my face. I lift my hand up and grab his as a warning to stop doing that. “What do we do now?” he asks. “Huh?” I say dazing in and out. I fall this time, but backwards and Justin catches me. “Are you ok?” Justin asks. “Of course. My skin is made of iron, my heart is made of steel, and my bones are made of gold.” I say smiling. “You used to always say that when we were kids, and you didn’t like me.” he says whispering the last part. I don’t have time for sympathy right now. I stand up all the way and give him a long kiss then tell him I’m sorry. For a few minutes we decide how to get Destin in the car, then we realize we can just pick her up. We grab her cell phone she brought, and bring her to the car.
We drive down the highway singing songs from when we were kids. Destin is still asleep, so I cover her up in a thick blanket and a soft pillow. Justin turns the radio off. “I love that song, it’s awesome, and it tells you about life.” he says smiling. “And the electric guitar solo! My favorite part, I think that’s the best part in the whole song.” I reply. “Eh, it’s all right. I like it when it’s whispering, those words.” he says. “What words?” “I don’t know, they just whisper.” he answers me. “What do you mean?” I ask. “I don’t really have a clue. I mean, they’re just words. Right?” he says. “Now I want to know what they’re saying. Thanks a lot. Maybe they…” I lose my train of thought. “Right?” he asks. I travel back to a different time. I feel someone. Someone with an angry hateful spirit. Someone who wants to kill. Who will do anything, to kill, me. Why do they want to kill me? I don’t know but I want to. I don’t want to die. But I will do anything to kill THEM, if they hurt Destin. I know Justin can take care of himself. Or neither of us would still be alive. I can see them, the, Demon Spirit. Attached to a loving, caring woman. She is scrawny, with black eyes and hair. Death surrounds her. I

think about Osiris, the God of Death. Thou Osiris, thy shall love and cherish thy god of death. I get it now, Aphrodite overpowered Osiris to save Destin from my anger. Now I shall die, in her place. I still don’t get it though. Before I said my hymn, I was being watched. Not wanted to be dead I think, but watched. “Serenity, hello?” My vision fazes in and out, for a moment I can’t see. Who is that voice? For a couple of seconds I see white flashing, a white background, with a pale little girl wearing a white dress, that looks like a mini wedding dress. She has crimson eyes and brushed-down silky brown hair. She gives me a smile and says ‘I’m the angel.’. it still flashes as she says it, just the feeling of her makes me shiver and if I could see, I would probably have goose-bumps right now. I know I can only say the hymn every 3 years so now I’m stuck. Great, I use it on my sister who likes to abandon people. Especially me. Actually just me. I just wish I didn’t have a sister, at times, but I love her and she’s the only family I have. I feel myself move, out of nowhere and everything’s blurry again. I can make out the figures though. Justin is still driving, and Destin is clinging to the backseat, I don’t think we’re going that fast but then again I can’t even make out the speed meter dial. I feel nauseous and now I feel what Destin probably feels. Guilt, abandonment, sadness, something that kills your soul, that makes you see the past, on what could’ve happened. Something that makes you wish you did do that. Something we all hate, TIME. Death that is what I feel. “What are you trying to do?” I ask. “Destin?” I ask screaming for her to answer me. “Serenity, help, I feel sick. What’s he doing? help me.” she kept repeating that last part. ‘Help me.’. I grabbed her hand crying. Not to be rude, but I guess Miss I’m-not-scared of-anything-cause-I’m-a-special-agent-girl found what she is afraid of. We both look ahead, our future, and a cliff. I shake Justin, but it looks as if he can’t feel me pushing him. Prying his hands off the steering wheel. Then it seems he can’t see. Destin and I fly into the water.
