"Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I'd get caught up when the rage in me subsides."
~Delerium -Silence



It was raining a little too hard that day. I couldn't even see my hand if I extended it 3 feet from my face. The water was also somewhat warm. The good thing was that I was only two houses away from my house. It didn't last too long either, just a couple seconds. The strange thing was that I could have swore someone was following me. I couldn't see their whole figure through the rain and darkness, it just looked like a dark shadow. It was nothing.
I walked into the house soaking wet. It was quarter to one in the morning. I'd just came home from a party my ex boyfriend, Chris and best friend Jackie threw. Enough said.
My mother was sleeping on the sofa and looked like she was drinking all night long. She was surrounded with bottles of whiskey and beer while the TV was still on. "s**t....When are you going to stop this crap?....every ******** night.." I said quietly to my mom. I reached for a half filled beer bottle and drank whatever was left in there.
"Sarah sweetie, that beer is very old and stale...if you would like some there is a new case in the basement..." her mom said waking up and slurring her words.
I ignored her and walked to my room because I really needed the sleep. My family was the perfect definition of <******** up. My father is no where to be found. He hadn't been with us at all. I don't blame him since he got my mother pregnant when she was 16. My brother married, and was then shot and killed 2 weeks after. Some claim he was part of a gang, but I know he wasn't. As for my mother, she cannot get a job anywhere. She is a goddamn and just sits around doing nothing. The funny thing is that she is a micro nuclear engineer. Ironic isn't it? For I am just a normal 17 year old....no more no less. I get average grades and my goal is to become a journalist. I work at a local grocery store to get money for me and my mother. Its been a year since I have gotten into serious trouble in school. Even when I do its nothing too big. Despite all of this s**t that happens in my life, I still get all worked up with normal teenager s**t. My best friend is being a b***h due to going out with my ex boyfriend. Hell, I have other things to deal with.



I woke up with the sound of shattered glass coming from the kitchen. My cell phone was besides me, the time reading 12:34 pm. At least it was the middle of July, so I didn't have to worry about school. I walked downstairs and noticed my mother holding up a piece of mail. There was a shattered beer bottle on the ground.
"Uhh....What is that?" I asked.
"I got a job....For this laboratory called Stella. Its in Europe...but it pays 5 ******** thousand per hour.....It also came with pre ordered universal tickets....s**t man..." she said in shock. My mother may be a drunk, whore, and drug addict but she was still a genius. She has the most will power than any other soul on earth I have ever encountered. Some say she's possesed by something but she claims that her actions are only typical human nature. My face went blank when I heard the pay rate.
"Looks like somebody is desperate for some kind of genius..." I said with a small laugh.
"You can say that again Sarah....We should totally throw a party. I can start cleaning up the house now. I'll even call your Jackie up. I also don't think Sam wouldn't mind coming along despite the fact that it might have spoiled you guys plans for tonight." my mom said in excitement. I didn't really mind Jackie coming along. As long as she didn't bring Chris along with her.
"Oh..no that's fine...Sam wouldn't mind at all. We were just going to the boardwalk...nothing special." I said. Sam was the current guy I was dating. We have actually been going out for for 2 years already. He almost made the world seem perfect.....too perfect. At least he wasn't an a*****e like Chris. "Oh but I am working until 8pm tonight though...so I will show up a little later." I added.
"Yes yes....that's fine. You know when I start this job you can finally quit your job. I know how much you hate it." she said.
I nodded and walked to the kitchen to get something to eat. Little did I know that this would be the last real face to face conversation with my mom.

"That would be $75.12." I said to the customer. She was an obese women with oversized sunglasses on her head. Her clothes were too many sizes small. She was also smoking a cigerette. I have recently quit smoking but the sweet smell of the second hand smoke tempted me. I watched how she took drag after drag in such unsastisfying pleasure.
"Why the ******** do you people always rob up a couple cents." the woman said.
"....Huh..What?" I said. The customer startled me at first.
"Can't I just pay $75....hell, with you robbing me of 12 cents I should get everything for free!" she argued.
"It's called sales tax." I said in a dull somewhat sarcastic tone.
"I know what its ******** called! I want to see a manager now! Pick up the phone and call him now!" she yelled back.
Whats up her a**? I thought. The last thing I needed at the moment was a bad refferal to my boss.
"No need to call, I'm already here.." my manager said. His name was Bill. He was the typical nice guy boss, but he would never hesistate to fire someone. "What seems to be the problem?" he asked.
"Uhhh.....I uhh...." I hesistated.
"She is robbing me of my money!" The women interrupted.
Bill looked up at the screen and noticed that the price's caculations were correct. "I see, well our policy is to make the customer sastisfied. So your whole purchase is on us." he told the woman. She took her bags and drove off with the cart out of the door. Not even a thank you.


Bill looked back at me, "Sarah, you hav-"
"I know I'm sorry it will never happen again!" I pleaded.
Bill just laughed at this. "Sarah, don't be so tense. Relax. I was just saying that you have a phone call on the 2nd line." he said with a smile.
"Oh, sorry..." I said as I walked into the office. It was a nice cool air conditioned room. I picked up the phone. It was my mom.

"Hi sweetie, I just got a call back form Stella. They said that I just have to work a week every month. They will pay for all of the airline trips and stuff. Don't worry though, we aren't moving..I'm just going to make frequent trips from here to Europe until they start the office up here in South Carolina. Everything should be fine for you. I already have 7 universal tickets so that should last for now." her rambaling went downhill from there.
"Oh yeah that's nice mom.." I said in a somewhat annoyed fashion.
"Yep and did you know that Stella is a sister lab of Xymos*? How awesome is that? Pretty damn advanced technology right there."
"Mom, I have no clue what you are talking about but I have to go back to work."
"Right right, I'm sure Bill wouldn't mind. Anyways, the party starts in an hour. It is two right now. I told your friends that they can come at 3 to hang out and wait on you. You will be home at 8 right?" she asked.
"yea yea thats fine. Yes, I'll be home at 8." I said.
"Alright see you then"


I went back to work after that. Everything was pretty calm for the next three hours. Bill walked over to where I was with some other guy. The first thing I noticed about this guy was his wicked sideburns. Like really wicked sideburns. He was also strangely wearing all white.
"Hey Sarah, you seemed pretty stressed out today. You can take the rest of the day off. The new guy, Mike, should be able to take over smoothly. Go get some rest. I'll pay you up to 8pm." Bill said.
"Oh alright...thank you very much." I said with a smile to both Bill & Mike.


After I gave Mike the keys I went outside to get icecream. It cheered me up a little bit. I picked up the phone to call Sam until I realized that both:
a. Sam was at my mom's party
b. My cell was dead.

Since I was at the icecream parlor, I didn't feel like walking to work just to tell my mom that I was coming home early. I was over half way there anyways. It was 5:15. So I get around 3 more extra hours to party. Sweet.

It took 15 mins. for me to walk home. It wasn't too bad, there was a cold chill in the air but I didn't really care. As I approached my house, I noticed the exceeding amount of cars choking up the poor house. How many people did she invite? I thought. I was relieved to see Sam's brand new BMW convertible. He has just recieved it from his father for his birthday last month. As I walked down the side walk I noticed Chris' car. <********. This is why I didn't want to ******** invite Jackie. I knew she would bring that goddamn freak with her. My mind raged with hateful thoughts of my ex boyfriend.

As I got to the house I took out my keys and walked in through the back door into the kitchen. There was a s**t load of people there. Probably all of my mom's trashy friends she finds all over the place to drink with. Bunch of whores & losers I always say. But then again, that was way too sterotypical. After all, my mom was a genius.

I went to get a drink of water before I walked towards the living room to search for my friends. Then I saw one of the most terrible sight I have ever seen. Jackie was making out with some guy. No. Not just some guy...It was Sam. IN MY OWN ******** HOUSE.. My eyes were instantly flooded with tears. I felt nausated. I wanted to walk right over there and slap both of them in the face. Or pour my water on them. But that would be lame. My feet were frozen in its place, making me totally unable to move. Then I turned to my left.

I wish I had never turned to my left. Even though it wouldn't make anything much better. What I saw was my mom making out with some guy. This was pretty typical since my mom was pretty much a whore. Probably one of her crazy drunken boyfriends. But I noticed the guy's hair. It was too familiar. It was Chris.



I threw up instantly on the spot. All of the icecream, the old lunch and breakfast...everything. All four of them looked up at me at the same time. As if on cue. I ran into the kitchen and stole my mother's plane tickets and ran out the door into the backyard. I could barely see due to the tears pouring down my face. I felt high. I felt as if I was so high random impossible things were happening. But it was all real. As I jumped over the fence into the front yard I picked up the neighbor's kid's baseball bat on the yard and started to beat the s**t out of Sam's BMW. And I mean really beat the s**t out of it. I looked behind me too see all four of them running towards me. I ran. As fast as I could. To anywhere. It seemed like I was running for hours because when I stopped it was already dark. I was shaking in the cold, tears still pouring down my face.

"I believe that we'll conceive
to make in hell for us a heaven.
A brave new world.
A promised land.
A fortitude of hearts and minds.
Until I see this kingdom is mine,
I'll turn the darkness into light.
I'll guide the blind.
My will be done until the day
I see this kingdom has been won."
~VNV Nation- Kingdom




I woke up to the sound of a truck passing by followed by car horns. It was hard to open my eyes due to crying all night. I actually forgot most of the minor details of what happened the night before, everything seemed like a dream. Felt like I was so high and wasted that I started to see things. After looking down at my clothes I realized that it wasn't a dream. My clothes had a stain of what looked like regurgitated ice cream. I looked around and noticed that I had been sleeping underneath a tree in the neighboring town's park. It was a good 20 minute drive on the highway from where I lived.

I got up and walked to the nearest convience store. I felt like a goddamn zombie, being controlled automatically while my real self was somewhere else. Kinda like a big hangover. I bought an energy drink. As I reached for the money in my pocket, I pulled out a white envalope. It was my mother's letter from Stella. Inside had seven 1st class universal plane tickets. Then I had a dumbass idea.


The next thing I knew, I was on a public bus going to the nearest airport. What's the point of running away from home without going far? Hell, I had 7 tickets to ANYWHERE. As I approached the airport, I decided to go to the first place I could think of. That was London. ******** South Carolina. ******** my mom's job. ******** everyone at that party. I felt so free I could do anything, as if nothing else matters.

It was hard to remember what happened after that. Right after I arrived at the airport I woke up on a plane to London in the 1st class section. The events that happened at the party really screwed over my whole mind and style of thinking. I just needed to sleep it all out. I needed to relax, and chill, and let everything else go by.


I watched lots of various movies during the next 7 hours. There was only two other people in the 1st class section with me, so it was pretty damn quiet. After a while I got up to go to the bathroom. As I opened the door, I felt a sharp pain at my neck. The next thing I saw was myself in the bathroom mirror and someone wearing all black beside me. He had a knife right under my neck and his other hand covering my mouth. I couldn't see his face because he was wearing a mask. Probably a ******** terrorist... I thought. I knew I shouldn't do something this stupid....Why did I have to run away...why why why.. While my mind was saying these words to itself, I personally couldn't careless. I couldn't care if I died right here. My life was pretty much over anyways. As I thought this, something in me hated that I was actually letting myself die like this.


"There is a bomb on this plane...." the man said. He continued to say some directions but I completely ignored them. Either that or I refused to hear them. I just stared at myself in the mirror. He moved the knife from my neck to my arm, making a very light cut. I could barely feel the knife cut my flesh, but the blood made it pretty clear that he did cut me.

He started to give more directions, but again...something in me made me ignore them. I felt so trippy. Hell, so trippy that I started to laugh. I was laughing so hard that tears were coming down my eyes. The hysterical laughter cause people to knock on the door of the bathroom. This startled the man in the mask. I felt 4 punches on my back, as if someone were to hit me with a baseball bat. Then I saw the pool of blood on the ground. He stabbed me 4 ******** times in the back. I fell to the ground, still staring at the man who stabbed me. My vision was getting worse & worse....but I could have sworn that he grew what looked like angel wings. Translucent, yet white.

After that I woke up to the voice of the flight attendant. "Calm down!....calm down...It's only a bad dream" I was still sitting down in the 1st class area, as if nothing ever happened.
"Ugh....What happened...?" I asked as I woke up.
"You had a terrible dream and was screaming your lungs out. You should really try to ca-"
"NO! THERE IS A TERRORIST HERE!" I yelled.
"I'm sure that's just your imagination. But I will check ******** my imagination! Something will happen to this plane!" I added.
The flight attendant shook her head. "Here, take these pills...they will make you feel better. We only have 2 more hours till we reach there."
I just nodded and took the pills. They instantly made me sleepy. Before I fell asleep I opened up the window to see the view of the clouds. As I did so, my arm has a stinging sensation to it. When I looked at it, I noticed a minor fresh open cut where the man had cut me. I laughed quietly to myself and fell asleep.

"And the life that makes us what we are,
Is the life that burns in every star.
Will it be that our legacy is just the
Dead machines of a senseless World?"
~The Morrighan - Remember



I woke up and was quite energetic after that. Even though my energy was present, I still felt terrible of what I have done. Occationally I would shed a tear or two, but I was getting over things pretty quickly. Life goes on. I have had to deal with much worse in the past.
The plane had stopped at an airport in Norwich about 150 kilometers from London. Being a VIP on the plane, I recieved train tickets (although they weren't 1st class). My mom's job was in Leeds, I was lucky that the train goes city to city before going all the way to Leeds. The flight attendants made sure that I got off the plane safely. They probably though I was crazy.
The train station wasn't hard to find since it was just a 2 minute bus ride from the airport. The train ride was to be about 2 hours. When I went to the bank earlier to get my passport I took out about 600 pounds and a couple hundred dollars. If I were to get mugged I would be screwed.
As I got on the train I realized how I didn't plan this whole idea out at all. I was just a ******** runaway. The only thing I had with my was the clothes I was wearing, money, and a small backpack I usually take to work with useless objects like my dead cell, a pen, and random papers. I kept thinking, What will I do after I get to London? What will happen next? Eventually my thoughts wandered away.
I sat down on a random seat looking out the window. The train was kinda set out like an airplane (but not like harry potter style trains) unlike a typical subway train in NYC. I noticed that almost everyone on that train stared at me as if I was an alien. Or as if I was drenched in blood after commiting a terrible murder. When I turned in their direction they glanced away. There was this one guy a couple seats across from me who kept his glare towards me. It wasn't a direct glare, because he was kinda reading a book at the same time.
This little girl, about the age of 5, and her mother sat in the seat infront of me. She had a big purple balloon in her hand. I watched as it was swinging into my seat, but I didn't mind. Instantly the balloon popped, and the girl started to cry. I saw a black smoke come out from the balloon. It was building up at a pretty fast rate. Somehow, I wasn't startled by it strangely enough, no one else seemed to notice it. Eventually, a random human sized figure appeared from the smoke. It was a guy in all black, he had a leather jacket like a biker, leather gloves, and wicked sideburns. Then I realized.. wicked sideburns. I saw this guy somewhere before. ********, he was the new guy from work. I opened my mouth to say something but he interrupted.

"Promise to not say a word as I give you the explanation in which I owe you. . .If you do speak...." He trailed off and pulled out a knife. The knife was exactly the same from the terrorist on the plane in my "dream".
I nodded nervously. I hated how no one else on the train could see him.
"If I need a reply from you simply shake your head and nod....Anyways, moving on. Where to start..? Well lets see, I know that we are both going through hell right now and we have both screwed over each others lives and....I'm not making sense am I..." He instantly spread his wings on his back. The train was barely big enough to let them spread them fully. The color was a clearish shinyish whitish. I just stood there sitting very still while listening.
"To get to the point, I'm a guardian angel. But something has gone terribly wrong...to the both of us." he said. "Oh by the way, the name's Mike."

"How the ******** are you a damn angel when you tried to kill me!" I yelled.
Everyone glanced in my direction again while telling me to shut up. Strangely, the other guy a couple seats across from me was reading his book as if nothing happened.

"My gosh, there are children in here!" the women in front of me said.

"As I said before, please keep quiet. I have no time to explain now, they are getting closer. There is a war that is about to take place. If you need further instructions go to this club. It's in London and only a 20 min walk from the train station." He handed me a slip of paper. I wondered how he knew I was going to London. But then again, he seems to be stalking me for a while. He knew that I wasn't going to follow his directions. "If you don't go, they will kill you."
I glanced at the paper. It had strange directions to the club which involves going through several alleys. I looked back at Mike, but he was gone.


"So much for that..." I said to myself.
"You can say that again!" the woman in front of me replied rudely.

I though about this for a while. One of the minor reasons for running away was because I wanted adventure, but I didn't think it would sum up to these extreme measures. I always wanted to go to a club in the UK....but this one didn't look to promising. The hell with it. I wanted to take chances, I made it this far, I'll go to this club. It was either that or being killed by whoever Mike was talking about. I still didn't trust Mike at all, I kept thinking he was behind what happened at the party for some strange reason.

"Get down and close your eyes whatever you do don't open them!" the guy with the book yelled to me.
"Wha-" I said as I looked behind me. There was these worm like, jellyfish like, animal like, watery like, tube like, things. I tried to make out what they were but their form was indescribable. I also noticed that no one else on the train noticed them except for that other random guy. Yep, this is a dream alright.


They had a color which I have never seen before. Kinda spectrumy, but gray at the same time. The color reminded me of though glowing rainbow jellyfish deep in the ocean. All of a sudden, someone covered my eyes.
"I see you don't get the concept to close your eyes." a voice said.
I was going to say something but a terrible screeching noice was heard. It was unbearable. Strangely, the noise was followed by laughter, wind breezing, music, and many other sounds. After 20 seconds it all stopped.

I opened my eyes. The train was normal, everyone was normal. The woman and her child were sitting quietly as if nothing happened. The guy with the book was sitting next to me.
"What the hell was that?" I asked cautiously.
"Those were artifically man made living wormholes. Not my favorite thing in the world." he said.
"I see....." I honestly had no clue what he was talking about. I was still confused about Mike.
"Your guardian angel, the one that you saw earlier....yes I saw him. You should follow his directions to the club. That's the only save place for when the war starts. In fact, that's where I'm heading right now." he replied.
"Oh umm....he's not my guardian angel...If he was he's the worst one I have ever seen." I said coldly.
"So I bet you have known a couple angels in your lifetime.....your pretty lucky to see at least one."
"Well....I....uhh......Who are you again?" I said nervously. I looked out the window and noticed that the train had stopped. We were in London.
"How rude of me! My name's Shakespeare. And you are?"
"I'm Sarah" I said as I followed him off the train.
