Surprisingly Unexpected

It was a pleasant and sunny Monday morning, when Elma woke up at exactly 7:00am. This is the first time that she didn't have any glimpse upon a dream. It was like waking up without knowing how she fell asleep. For her this is sort of unusual because she always wakes up without the sun being rise up yet, but now it seems to be a very different day.

A flash from the outer space with a pure light of spirit rush down like a meteorite going in speed towards Earth has given Elma's wide radius aura a suspenseful attention.

While combing her hair, a sacred creature from Glorienth suddenly appeared right behind her.

"My wish of living a peaceful life, is it finally over?" Elma asked without even looking because she knew that the most powerful being had just stopped by inside her bedroom.

"Like I said before, you will never find that on Earth."

His voice is like a power than can transform a loud confusion into a hopeful serenity. He is Michael, he has known Elma ever since the day she was born.

"But you also said that it is possible.."

Elma turned around and face her savior with disagreement and still believe that there is a chance of living a peaceful life like what her grandson Hendrix had dreamed about and like what she had been praying since she was seventeen.

"Yes, but it will take time., and when I say time., it could be decades or centuries. Like I told you before, our future lies on my brothers decision."

Michael is referring about the possibility that his brother might change and with his mission impossible plans he could shift his brother to be with him in the good side

"Hmp." Elma nearly laugh and passed him by as she walks towards the window. "You know that's impossible, even prophets never thought on writing that."

"You don't believe me." Michael said with discouragement.

"I believe you, and that's the problem..." she said and Michael remained in silence.

"Your brother hate humanity, he hated us.. so time will come and you will have to choose."

"He has not made any decision yet.." Michael said calmly.

"Really, so what's with the fallen armies doing on Earth?"

When Elma told Michael about the fallen, she instantly notice the sudden change on his reaction. Elma knew that Michael would come and delve her about it.

"About that?" he asked.

"Is that why you came to see me?"

"Elma, Earth is my burden, my responsibility., my duty is to protect this world from destruction whatever it takes. I came to ask for your help. I need to know where to find these fallens, I need to send them back to prison."

"You won't" said Elma.

Then she place her right palm in front of Arc Michael's face.

All of a sudden...

a bright light sheen's through him and make him know the future..

He didn't speak..

"Even if my own grandson is at risk, I have faith in you.. I always have.."

"Thank you." Michael replied.

Without them being noticed, Hendrix is behind the door and then he pushed it to open like he want to see something that could surprise him.

"Hey Grams...? talking to somebody...?" Hendrix asked while his eyeballs are rolling like checking around if there is anyone around inside his grandmother's bedroom.

"Do you see anyone?" Elma acted with full confidence like she is not hiding anything. She really wanted to tell his grandson about everything but she don't have the strength yet.

Elma is the most powerful women ever lived on Earth and she can protect herself from whatever but like everyone else, she do have a weakness and that is the only one family she have right now. Her grandson Hendrix, whom she will do everything and risk everything for.

"Why are you even talking to yourself?" Hendrix asked jokingly.

"I have a speech later, I just want everything to be perfect.."

Although it wasn't really her reason, she have to say something to cover up. She will be attending an event, a doctors assembly to be exact and its true that she will be having a speech but she don't need any rehearsal to make it great.

"You want me to come with you?" Hendrix offered to accompany his grandma.

"That's lovely grandson, but Lily and Floribelle are coming and they are more than enough to accompany an old lady like me, thank you but I'm great." Elma said with a smile on her face.

"Yes you are great grams, but you are not old." While he reaches out his hand and gently put it around her shoulder. "Well I prepared something.."

"Really? And what is that?" she said pretending that she is so surprised, but she is so happy that her grandson really loves her.

"Uhmm. Breakfast?" He said and took his grandmother to the kitchen.

Hendrix grew up without a parents but he grew up happy, Elma did a very good job on raising a child who never complain on being alone. He is contented, he is thankful for everything that his grandmother has done and he couldn't ask for more.

On the other hand, Elma is struggling on how to keep the truth, the real blood that runs through her grandsons veins. She wanted to tell him, but she couldn't. With the power she possessed, she can't even find Hendrix real father.

She blame herself for everything and she will blame herself for whatever will happen. If only Hendrix knows, how many tears she shed whenever he is not around, how lonely she is after her husband was killed, how anguished and tormented she is after the death of her daughters.

Still, she remained strong..,

Michael had seen and became a witness to all the pain and heartaches that Elma had been through. He called her the most powerful women not only because of her gift but because of her strenght on facing the reality and had never surrender.

After visiting his grandma, Hendrix went back to his apartment start arranging and organizing all the stuff he bought and all the stuff he brought.

He begin with the appliances and equipment like stereos, television, computers and more. Then with his clothes organizing them one by one in his walk in closet and together with his shoes.

After six and a half hour, finally he picked up the last box. Inside the box are paintings and picture frames and other decorative stuffs.

When he took the picture frame out of the box a small card fell on the floor and he noticed it immediately.

It was white and blank as he look at it but when he took it and turn it around, he saw the hand written message.

Saying....

"Meet me at the H.E.M tree, if you still remember.. Elle.."

His eyes widened, He has never been shocked in years and he never thought that he will see him again, his first best friend.

As he start driving his Black Corvette, he can't stop from smiling and reminisce the memories especially the day when he became friends with Elle.

They were both ten years old that time and Elle was still clumsy like everything he touches falls or breaks like the one he recalls when Elle was so sad after he accidentally lose a grab on his sandwich and watch it as it fell on the grass.

Elle was hungry that time, so even he doesn't feel like talking he was force to, just to have Hendrix extra sandwich.

Hendrix never thought that Elle has this humility in him, he has been the smartest and barely make mistakes and someone who never talks to anyone unless it is important.

But that day., all Hendrix's speculations and judgement towards Elle suddenly change, he never thought that he just met a kind and humorous friend.

Aurora is sitting on the rusty metallic bench at Hilsons Park, thinking about what happened. How she couldn't save a single human being who needed her the most that time and how she screw it all up.

But she knew that she cannot turn back time, the girl she wanted to save is now dead and it is impossible to bring her back to life and even the power has no power to bring anyone back from the dead.

While taking her time to remove everything, all the stress, worries and thinking about on how to move on.

Everything suddenly disappeared, her brain suddenly become clear again when she saw the Black Corvette just passed by and even more she saw Henrix driving it.

She doesn't have to command her Element anymore, its like her brain is interconnected with her aura, that whenever she thinks of something., her golden necklace will instantly act on it and put the action out of her thought.

She didn't have to think twice...

She Immediately followed Hendrix with her jolting motorbike and she did it without being noticed..
