Explanations
Normal POV:
After the insects passed, you just sit at a table thinking to yourself, not paying attention to the people around you. All you could think of is how this was exactly like in your flashes. The cloud of bugs that you just encountered was the same as the one in your flashes. Jeep, Bob and the black guy, now known as Kyle, are bringing Gladys outside when you see a car coming. You go outside and see that it's a police car. You are so surprised when you see that the guy in the car is actually the guy in your dream that you make a small scream but freeze when he stares at you and starts walking toward you. "Um, Bob!" You scream, not knowing what to do. "Take one more step and I'll drop you right there," Bob says, pointing at him with his shotgun. "Is that how you greet all your costumers?" The guy asks while still staring at you. Bob looks like he is about to say something but you put a hand on his arm, smiling softly. "Sorry about this. We had some problems," You say in a small voice. "Now, let me see them teeth," orders Bob. When the guy shows normal teeth, we all calm down slightly. "Okay then, how about you tell us your name?" Says Bob, seeming like he took over the situation. Well, he has the gun so he pretty much has the situation in his hands. "Michael," Says the guy. "Wait, like the Archangel?" You ask. He nods and starts to stare yet again. I shouldn't have said anything, you think to yourself while sweatdropping. As you get out of your daydream, you realize that you should all get inside. "Guys, we should really get inside. There are probably more like that lady," You say. "They're coming," Michael says. "Wait, who's here?" Charlie asks. "More like her," You and Michael answer at the same time. Then, he takes guns from his car at starts giving one to everyone. He gives pistolets to you and Charlie and stops for a moment. "Don't do anything brave," He tells you both. Back inside, the guys barricade the doors so no one gets in or out.
Now at night, you are all waiting for the attack. Walking back and forth, you keep looking at Michael, wondering why you had a dream about him and if it really happened. You wanted to look at his back so hard to see if he really cut whatever was in his back. You were so deep in thought that you didn't realize that you stopped walking and were now having a staring contest with the guy you were thinking about. Then, the lights went out. For some reason, you followed the guys onto the roof. You just felt as if you had to stay with Michael, you trusted him. "All right, Rambo, you got us up here. You mind telling us what we're fighting?" Asks Bob. "Listen. Listen," Says Percy. When you do, you hear some kind of music. "Ice cream? It can't be fucking serious, right?" Asks Kyle. "Alright, there's a safety switch on the side of your weapon. You won't be needing it. Push it all the way down two clicks. Now, when this starts, you hold on tight. Otherwise, you're gonna blow your hand off," Says Michael. That makes everyone look at Percy. "What the fuck you all looking at me for?" He asks before concentrating on the ice cream truck. Unknown to the others, you were also there but in the back. You were not going to shoot unless needed, deciding that you would try to understand Michael like you did with the costumers earlier today. You saw how serious and determined he was, he is here for a reason. The way he talked about the things was as if he knew them, what they were. That's when you realize, he was with them. He isn't anymore, of course, but he was. The way he talks about them, how calm he is, he knows what's happening and he is helping us. Why is he though? He looks like he wouldn't just help for no reason, there must be something or someone important.
As you were thinking, the ice cream man was killed and there were now hundreds of monsters coming here. There must be a reason why they are all coming here. It's probably the same reason why Michael is here. You went back inside when you heard screaming and saw Howard and Charlie about to be taken. Then, Michael saved Charlie and Howard got taken. "Oh god," You said, getting the attention of the guy. You looked at Michael in the eyes to see if you could understand why he was here but all that you saw was determination and... love, hope, faith, something like that. "Hold on. You better start talking," Said Bob after Michael said that someone must be on the roof. The monsters left for now but they will come back.
As Michael looks at all the guns he brought, he starts to explain what is going on. "The last time God lost faith in man, he sent a flood. This time, he sent what you see outside," He calmly says. "Are you saying this is the Apocalypse?" Asks Percy. "I'm saying this is an extermination," Michael answers. "Those things outside are just vessels. They're possessed. The weakest willed are the easiest to turn." He continues. "Possessed by what? Demons?" Asks Kyle. "No. No. By angels," Answers Michael. "What? Don't angels have wings?" As you ask this, you think back to your dream. You think back to the shadow and realize, he is telling the truth! The things outside are angels and he is the Archangel Michael! "You are the Archangel Michael, aren't you?" I say while staring at him. He turns to me and slowly nods. "Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yesterday, I was fucking Santa Claus. I mean, you know this is crazy right? I mean, I don't even believe in God." Says Bob. "Well, that's just fine, Bob. He doesn't believe in you either. He doesn't believe in any of this anymore." The Archangel says while looking at me. "I knew this day was coming. I just didn't think I'd be around to see it," Says Percy. "Oh, come on, Percy. What are we even talking about this for? It's not real! It's..." Bob says while walking back and forth. "Have you looked outside, Bob? I mean, those people aren't exactly our regular costumers," Percy says. "Wait, so, are you here to protect us?" Asks Audrey. You get closer to Charlie at that, scared of what Michael will say. "No, not you." He says and turns to you and Charlie. "Them." You just stare at him in pure confusion when he says that. "Us? Why us?" Asks Charlie. "Because your child is the only hope humanity has of surviving." Answers Michael. Thinking that this is a joke, Charlie starts to laugh. She quickly stops though when she sees that he is serious. "This can't be happening to me. I mean, I'm just a waitress. I don't even own a car," She says while starting to panic a bit. "None of that matters anymore. Either you child lives or mankind dies," He says. "But she's only eight months pregnant," you admit. "It's coming soon, isn't it?" Asks Charlie. "Yes. Listen, I simply don't care what you people believe and those things outside, they don't care, either. They just want the child dead. Now, this first attack was a test of our strength. The next will be a test of our weakness. Now, we can stay here and discuss it or you can try and help me. But, believe me, something much worse is on the way," Michael says, still very calm.
Your POV:
Later that night, I see Jeep and Michael talking. I wait for Jeep to leave and go see Michael. When he saw me, he stopped moving and stared at me. "I understand why we have to protect Charlie. But you also said that you were here to protect me and I wanna know why," I said calmly. He looked at me and made a sign for me to sit down on the ground, him doing the same. "You had visions of what happened, right? Flashes?" He asks. Surprised, I frowned but stayed calm. "Yes. How did you know?" I ask back. "You do not remember it but you were an Archangel once." He says, seeming hurt. "WHAT!?" I get up as I scream this, confused and panicking. I was about to start screaming again when he took my hand and gently pulled on it so I would sit again. I did but was still greatly confused. "Explain yourself," I say, forgetting my social awkwardness at the moment. "Alright. When Archangels were created, they were made in pairs. These pairs were made so that they could be happy. They were what you call couples. Sadly, all went wrong. The Archangels would sometimes not listen to God's orders and he saw that it was because they were in pairs so he put one of each pair on Earth. Most died because of the loss of memories and powers, they were defenceless. God also made them appear as children when they arrived on Earth so that it would be logical that they don't remember anything. You are the only one that survived. You were found by Bob and he took care of you. All the weird things that happened were because you are an Archangel," He explains. I try to take all of that in. When I do, a couple of minutes later, I realize that some things are not really logical in all of this. "Wait, why don't I have wings then? How come I had visions if I technically don't have any powers anymore? Who was I paired with?" I ask, wanting answers. "You have wings. God didn't plan on the pairs to be forever separated. You have wings, it's just that you cannot see them because they are in another dimension. You had visions because your powers are starting to come back since I came on Earth," He explains. That's when I realize something. "Oh shit, I was paired with you, wasn't I? That's why I started to have visions and saw you in my dream," I say, blushing super hard. "Yes," He gently admits, scared of my rejection. Instead, I gently put my hands on his shoulder. "Is there a way of getting my wings and memories back?" I ask while looking at him in the eyes. "There is but it is not as simple as you might think," He says. "So, what is it?" I ask. "You have to completely activate your powers. It will take some time, you can't force it to happen. So just go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow," He gets up and helps me get up. "Okay, thanks for telling me the truth, Michael," I thank him before going to the dining room and lying on a bench against the wall. I fall asleep after a long time, unable to sleep for a while because of all the information I just got. When I did fall asleep though, I felt a peace At least, until I would wake up again.
