Apocalypse

He ran his way to the sitting room he entered the room with panic and worry within him but looking at the room he had the surprise of his life. This was the most surprising attack he'd gotten. The wall and the environment of the room...

"James..." He looked behind his back to see who called his name

"Gramps..." He ran to his grandfather giving him the hug he'd ever given him. Both about the same height, the gramps was a bit taller since he was much tall than 182cm height and James, the two hugged each other heart to heart and James he felt his heart calm down after every emotion he had.

"Gramps,...you...you scared me...only to give me this." He said looking at the room which was filled with decorations for a birthday party. Ribbons everywhere and then posters all for the celebrant.

"Happy birthday James!!!." He turned around to look at the room again seeing every one of his friends and family there, well they were his second family after his gramps. Mika his childhood friend had black curly hair, pump lips, black eyes, a long bridge nose but had a perfect fit on her, and also red hearted-shaped lips even though it's a pump. Joel who was also his friend, had brown short hair, grey eyes, and a flat nose with a limp lip he wore black eyeglasses that covered half of his face. Joyce is also a friend, with golden hair long one but she had her hair curled in a stay flat on her hairstyle, black eyes, a flat nose with a slim heart-shaped lip.

"Oh...." James looked at them with surprise as Mila came in from the back door.

"Happy birthday James." She said giving him a sweet smile that set the sunshine shining, James looked at her and then he walked up to her with a pouty lip.

"Miss Mila..."

"I know I shouldn't have scared you like that but what else could we do since you're acting all grown up so we just wanted to give you the horror of your life. Besides you've always wished to have a total scare and now you'll be scared, so it seems you'll not be all grown up after all we just wanted you to have the scare and now we've seen how scared you became, and how much you care about gramps."

"What? Miss Mila, you guys are my family and I care for you guys even though you decided to give me an attack on my birthday. You know if I go or die or there is an apocalypse that takes place right at this moment. All I hope is that I end up with you guys in paradise living the best life with my family."

"Ummm..." Every one of his friends said as his grandfather gave him a smile at what he said and also Miss Mila.

"We would all reach paradise with you James and besides no matter the obstacles I know all of us are strong and we got the power to defeat." His grandfather said with a smile as James returned the gesture.

"Okay, what are we doing? We've prepared a feast for your birthday, so what are we waiting for c'mon let's dig in." His grandfather said as he walked up to the table in the dining room that had a variety of dishes James missed that food when he was running around the house he didn't even see there was a table filled with food. They sat on the chair not forgetting to say a prayer.

"Dear Lord, thank you for this food you've provided another year to celebrate James' birthday. Thank you because you've protected us from all dangers."

"Amen..." They all chorused digging the food that was on the table sharing each food with happiness and smiles on their face.

Thirteen Minutes later...

James saw his grandfather staring at the television with the remote in his hand so he walked up to his grandfather.

"Gramps, what's going on..." He asked casually looking at the tv.

"It's just that these days many people seemed to be disappearing.." his grandfather responded

"Many people from different continents of the world have not been seen for a few days, they searched for them and it seems no matter how they try they aren't found. There's this archeologist Mr. Bones who claimed to be the end of the world according to certain research he made."

"So what do you think gramps?."

"Being an archeologist too and reading from the Bible. I think I will have to agree with him, what he's saying is approximately right."

"Tsk, gramps. He may be right but what if they are just lost or something."

"You might be right but what he's saying is approximately right."

"But if you say so why are they disappearing."

"Well for protection, the world is going to be in a lot of difficulties before God officially comes without the use of messengers."

"Umm, but why?."

"There would be major troubles and let's say an apocalypse, so some will have to go to Heaven just to be safe. Others may have to work hard to paradise."

"Is not like they can just find Heaven on earth." He murmured picking up the banana and he started peeling the banana to eat.

" Is possible for them to find their way to paradise on earth but it will take a lot of difficulties before they could reach there and surely a lot of challenges. Besides only the one with the pure heart could go."

"Pure hearts?."

"Yeah, the one who truly knows they're faith in God."

"Hmm.."

"But still you could make it up with the apocalypse just make sure once you're trying to find your way try to be clean. From seeing of it after all they may be clues from the Bible."

"Why are you saying it like I'm the one who's going to face it, gramps?." His grandfather chuckled at his reaction to James, which made him react with pouting lips like a kid.

"Sorry, son if it annoys you."

"Fine, since it's summer I need you to help me do something. This summer break with your grandfather, after all, gramps to son."

"What?."

James stood up from the couch and went to take his bag taking a wrapped gift from his bag only to reach the sitting room with his eyes full of shock.

"Grandfather?." He said in shock as he dropped the gift in his hands.
