By summers end the Death Angel had killed an estimated 27 million people in the Americas. That's nearly 1/3 of the total population. The quarantine had prevented the spread of the disease but it still hadn't stamped it out completely. Just as the government had promised a new vaccine was developed by Pfizer and was set for distribution starting September 1st. Before Dan was killed in the medical center raid he had sent me some copies of all of his research on the virus and the vaccine. I think he must have known he was being watched and that his life was in danger. Dan's research was indicating that the vaccine could have possible adverse effects on those of us with the mutated DNA. It was suggested that the vaccine carried a component that directly attacked the Indigo Gene and destruction of this gene could lead to serious injury and potentially even death. Not a reassuring feeling when the nation, feeling an increased aggrivation from being isolated in their homes, was eagerly awaiting their Salvation Vaccine. The magical shot that will make everything that is wrong in this world all better. I knew this was a great fantasy that would probably not end in a happiness and dancing unicorns. At least not for some of us. The media had announced that the President herself would be addressing the nation Friday evening. One could only assume it was about the vaccination programs and the details on the process. We all gathered at our house to watch.
It was all too reminicent of that night where we sat in Reubens family room and listened as our lives changes irrevocably. This time the children did not go outside and play, they each one sat in nervous anticipation. We had all changed together and their young lives, we knew, would never ever share the innocence of the world we had grown up in. The news channel hushed as the screen changed to the President, sitting at her desk in the oval office. To her one side the director of the CDC Charles Clifton. The camera panned into President Dobson as she smiled for her big moment.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the American Allegence after several months of dilligence on the part of the American people we have seen a drastic dip in the occurances of RV 16-1. While we have lost so many and nothing can be done to console those who lost loved ones to this terrible disease. We can say that we have seen 1/3 less loss of life to the virus than the rest of the world suffered in the earlier outbreaks. While dealing with a stronger virus that adapted before it reached our shores we still fought hard and won the battle. Now it is time to win the war! This week, most of you have heard that Pfizer has announced the production of a successful vaccine for Rv16-1. Here today to speak to you about the plan being set for by the CDC to get every single citizen vaccinated and protected is Director of the Center for Disease Control Mr. Charles Clifton."
The camera then panned over to the frumpy black man who was wearing a peculiar pale green tie. "Good afternoon. This is the most pleasing announcement I have had to give in a very long time. Ain't that a blessing from the Lord? We are so very proud to have this week approved the vaccine that our partner company Pfizer has produced. We have had several successful rounds of testing done on the vaccine and have seen nothing but positive results. I am certain that this drug will irradicate this disease just as we stamped smallpox out of existance a quater of a century ago. Just how even farther back we stopped polio right in its tracks from continuing to cripple American children. This vaccine will bring a victory to the human race once every single American has been dosed. That brings me to the next part, how do we vaccinate the entire remaining population? Well, believe you me, we have a plan. Just as we have ensured that every single person was provided for with food, water and the necessities to live during this tough quarantine, we have a strategic plan to see to it that every household is vaccinated by the end of this year. That is correct, we believe we can have this quarantine lifted possibly as soon as Christmas. I would like to see to it that every one of you have the ability to spend the holiday reunited with the family you have all had to be separated from for so very long. So how do we do that? Well we have labs across the nation currently producing this vaccine as quickly and massively as possible. We will then begin, on Monday, sending out trained medical personel along with the ration deliveries who will immunize each household starting with the most vulnerable, children under the age of 12, elderly over the age of 65 and immune system compromised adults such as pregnant women, or those with medical conditions. Once we have the most vulnerable vaccinated then we will proceed to the adults by a birthdate. Now I know there has been some speculation around the internet as to the safety of the vaccine and I am first and foremost going to assure you that I am so certain the vaccine is safe that I am going to have myself vaccinated right now for all of the world to see." He smiled as he lifted his arm sleeve and a nurse stepped into the screen.
"Hi, my name is Tara and I have been working dilligently to care for the sick and dying during the past four months. It is such an honor to finally feel I can say that we are fighting back." she smiled and held a package up to the camera, "As you can see this package is marked DAV Vaccine and it is labeled with the dosage for an adult over 100 lbs. I think you qualify Chuck." they laughed, "it gives me an expiration of `11/2020 so we have a nice fresh vaccine ready to be administered." she opened the packaging and took out a strange looking device that didn't look like any sort of needle I had ever seen before. "Some of you may notice that this is an unusual form of vaccination, not your typical intra muscular needle. This actually is far less painful that a typical shot. It really just has these thirteen small needles that merely prick the skin. " She took the device and placed it on the CDC directors inner wrist, "This vaccination will bubble up with a blister similiar to the blister the disease itself produces and it will leave a scar after the blister dries up and falls off. Some of you older vaccinated Americans may have a similiar scar from the smallpox vaccines you recieved when you were young. This one will leave a scar that will look like this." she held her arm up and showed a triangular shaped scar that had the thirteen prick marks darkened around it. "Well that is it, Mr. Clifton, you will now be completely protected against the Death Angel Virus."
"Thank you Tara and I hope that this will help set the minds of each and every one of you at ease that this vaccine is not only harmless but life saving." he smiled sickeningly. "So lifesaving that we cannot allow even one person to go unvaccinated. We cannot give this killer disease the ability to keep going. In order to ensure that exact thing, we will be imposing some strict standards when it comes to this mass vaccination. Every single person will be required to submit to the dosing and we will not hesitate to arrest anyone not willing to be vaccinated. Parent considering to resist allowing their children this life saving vaccine will be considered a danger to their childs well being and the children will be removed from the parents home. I know that some of you might cry a violation to your civil liberties but I say this is a matter of national security and we cannot allow uneducated ideals to compromise the health and well being of this great nation."
At that point Sage, of course, went into melt down mode and there wasn't anymore watching of the broad cast in our house. "No way! They cannot do that! they can't force us to put that poison into our children!" she screamed. And while I agreed that it was a gross injustice and that acording to the late Dr. Dan probably truely a poison to those who were like us. I also knew that there was no way we would be able to fight the government on this one. They were serious about moving forward and nothing anyone would say or do was going to stop them. And in all reality, who would back us up if we did try to fight it. Most people were so terrified of contracting this disease that they would most likely sell their souls to try to get their hands on this salvation. We were going to have to find a different way around it.
"What exactly do you propose we do? We can't fight them and we can't run away from them since a quarantine is still in effect. This is a loose-loose situation." I groaned.
"We could fight them, were the ones with powers, not them!" she argued.
Reuben jumped up furiously, "You're a complete idiot! If that component in the vaccine is in there because they want our kind dead do you think exposing ourselves and our powers is the way to save ourselves? You give them proof we are who we are and they will kill every single one of us right then and there! This isn't some conspiracy theory bullshit, this is real shit with real consequences!"
"Hey! Don't talk to my wife that way!" Jack shouted.
"You need to set your wife straight. If we don't handle this situation in just the right manner were gonna end up like the Dirty Doctor, with a bullet through our brains!" Reuben had never been a fan of Sage, much like the rest of us but he never hesitated to be vocal about it. My brother never was one to worry about whether he hurt someones feelings or not, especially when the safety of his family was at stake.
"How can I set her straight when I agree with her, we can't let those people give our kids that vaccine," Jack argued.
Reuben threw his arms upin the air, "I am not saying we should let them vaccinate us, I am saying we need to figure out the best way to avoid the vaccinations. A way without exposing ourselves and our abilities."
"Who cares if they know who we are, there are some people out there showing the world that we exist and that they are not ashamed. This group I have gotton into contact with on Skye Net called Leigon. They are fighting back and we can fight back too!" Sage huffed loudly opening her laptop.
"Leigon? What the Hell? We aren't Super Heroes, we are joining a group of radicals who are parading around in capes and fighting the corupt government! We are just a family who happens to have ended up with some weird shit we can do. A family who wants to see their children grow up and have a safe place in this world. A family who wants to survive. That's it, all that other bull shit doesn't matter. That baby, right there, that your niece is holding, your son, he wants to survive. That's what matters. Nothing else!" Reuben stormed off, Sam, Beth and Liza quietly gathered up the kids and headed back down the trail to their house.
I could tell that Jack and Sage were carrying on a conversation in their minds which I assume was them judging our lack of bravery and our lack of compulsion to fight the powers that be. Jack was probably tucking his testicles between his legs and telling her how right she was and how cowardly we all were being. Jack grabbed the boys and they headed downstairs without much to say out loud. We all just sat there stairing at eachother wondering, "Now what?" We had until Wednesday when our block would be serviced to figure that out.
Most of the weekend was spent largely divided. Jack and Sage stayed to themselves, Jack didn't even come up and practice with Sol wich I could see was quite bothersome to my husband. Sage mostly worked in the garden harvesting as much food as she could. Harper came home Saturday morning and we occupied our time over at Sam's mulling over possible ideas of how to handle the situation. We thought possibly we could hide ourselves away and not be there when they knocked on the door but that would only buy us a small amount of time and would likely raise huge red flags. We were at a loss.
I had a web chat session with everyone I could reach to try and appeal to them to not allow vaccination. Oteika and Jesse seemed in wonderful spirits. They were having far too much fun together apparently Jesse had introduced her to XBOX 360 and she was hooked. I hadn't heard from Marta and May in a while and wasn't at all sure whether they made it through the virus or not. I was assuming not.
Josslyn and Rosie were still tucked away the mountains. Apparently they weren't too worried about the vaccine since they hadn't even seen rations, they didn't believe anyone knew they were up there. Josslyn told us they had been living off the food stored in the kitchen of the restaraunt and that there were a few other campers in the campground who were huntersand fishermen and that had kept them stocked in elk, venison and lots of salmon. Josslyn told us that they were staying at a hot springs resort. It had a main lodge where there was a restaraunt and gift shop. Then it had probably 30 cabins of various sizes and an RV campground also. It sounded like they other campers were like minded and all ended up having the virus and coming out of it, much like us. She said that if we could make it up there somehow that there was ample room and resources to handle the entire group. A very good option if we could find a way up there. She even said that the main road in could be completely blocked off with enough man power. Something to consider we thought but how could we get 9 adults, 11 kids, a dog, a cat and 3 frogs up into the mountains without detection?
The outlook seemed bleak, good thing we had until Wednesday to come up with a plan. So far, it was looking like the best idea would be to hide out in the woods and buy ourselves some time. We started working our way into the deep forest finding trees and hide-aways for each of us so we could get there quickly and easily. We thought that Tuesday night we would camp out in the woods so when they came Wednesday morning they would find an empty cul de sac. We began taking food and water down to our hidden camp and various other supplies. In fact, that is what most of us were doing when our plan went terribly awry!
Later afternoon on Monday all of the kids were over at our house with Ember and Azure while the adults (minus Sage who was refusing to participate in cowardly hiding) worked hard on our hide out. Ember came running into the woods crying hysterically, when I finally calmed her down enough for her to catch her breath she wheezed, "They took them! Mom, the kids, they took them!"
"What do you mean they took them? Ember, who took them?" I asked, I couldn't comprehend what was being said, it made no sense.
"The people, the government, they came to vaccinate the kids and then Sage...she...oh God Mom they took them!" she cried. Reuben began to run up the trail and we quickly followed.
When we got inside Ember was sitting at the table reading some paperwork that had been left with them, Sage sat in the chair next to the play pen blubbering how sorry she was over and over.
"What the fuck happened?" Sol demanded, he was a man of few words but when he spoke he made it count.
Azure spoke up, looking up from the documents she was examining, "They came to vaccinate the kids, Sage told them no and they argued, then they zip tied her hands and lined all the kids up against the wall."
"Argued? You argued with them! Jesus! What did I tell you, IDIOT!" Reuben ranted.
Azure continued, "They took down all of our information and called it in, they took all the kids except Jasper and Shiloh because they couldn't facilitate that young immediately."
"Why didn't they take you girls? You're still children." Sam inquired holding Shiloh so tight it looked like she was squeezing the life out of her.
"They said we could make the choice for ourselves whether we would take the vaccine or not and that if we didn't we would be tried as adults...we had to say no, right?" Ember quivered.
I hugged her, "You had to, you did the right thing."
"So Hami's...gone?" Harper said with a look of shock, her face was drained of color. Hami had been the only man in Harpers life that had stayed with her through thick and thin. Hami was her Little Man and she wouuld be lost without him.
Azure knodded sadly.
Sam teared up rocking Shiloh, "Gabe and Zeke. My babies are gone..."
"No, fuck that, I'm getting my shot gun and I'm going to find my boys!" shouted Reuben.
"You can't go after them Reub, thats not going to help. Anyways you won't have any clue where to find them. The police will have you arrested for breaking quarantine before you get out of the neighborhood." Reasoned Bethany.
"She's right." I added noticing something odd. I walked over to the terrerium. I have no idea why I was counting frogs but there was definitely four, not three, four, "Griffen." I whispered tapping on the tank. Suddenly one of the frogs sprang out of the tank and shifted into my grinning little boy. I grabbed him about as tight as Sam squeezed Shiloh, "you clever, clever boy!"
"Jonah is clever too aren't you Jonah!" Griffen said looking over toward the tv.
I heard his voice reply but I had no idea where it came from, "Ya me too! We tricked them, Griffen and I, we tricked them." Slowly I was able to make out an outline of my nephew appearing from thin air. Jonah had finally discovered his special ability and in the most spectacular way, invisibility...brilliant!
The good news that Jonah and Griffen had fallen under the radar faded quickly into the realityt that we still had five children to find.
"They have to have some place they take them to for holding. How would we find that out Harper? You work in a medical center, where do they send the people to they come take?"
"Um, there's a database that finds placements for certain patients and they send out trucks to pick them up. But I only get a truck number assignment, it doesn't tell me where the trucks go."
"Marco! Marco is a hacker, he can hack into the database and find out where they were taken! I will go email him right now!" I hopped on SkyeNet and preparred an email:
RICKY: Hey little brother we have run into a problem! The CDC showed up early to vaccinate and there was an altercation. When Sage refused to allow them to vaccinate (which in her defense it was the right choice) they rounded up the children and took them in. Need Marco's help hacking into the data base that Harper uses at work to have people placed into CDC holding facilities. I know its dangerous but it's our only chance! Have him look for Sebastian and Alexis, Hami, Gabriel and Zeke Talk to you soon. EZ
He messaged back immediately:
Nothing is too dangerous for our niece and nephews! We know if it were Fiona, Adele or Nate you would do the same. Marco said he needs you to link up to him from your work computers so he can gain access to the system. From there he said it, being a government agency, will like be heavily encrypted but he will do the best that he can. When is Harper going to be working? You need to get out of the cul de sac ASAP! They will be back to arrest or possibly kill the rest of you. It happened to other Legion members. Get Marco access then get out of town! Take care Sis! Ricky
I replied:
She works tonight, we will leave in the AM. Not sure where we will be headed but we will stay in touch. And tell Marco Thank You and that we love you all! EZ

Aftermath 2
Over the next few months we spent our time discovering our new powers and working very hard to hide them away. It became apparent very soon that whatever the reason was that our government was lying to us, they were willing to kill to keep their secrets. In late July, luckily when Harper was off for a few days, the clinic was raided by Homeland Security. They were looking for something specific and Dan must have known they were there for him. He locked the door to his lab and carried out what we all could assume was his plan B. When Homeland made it to Dan's lab they found him dead from a single gun shot wound to the head. His computers were in a barrel burning along with all of his research files and anything else reguarding his work. Dan had warned Harper that if the government that we needed to consider disappearing. It left me with a very uneasy feeling! When Harper returned to work she had to put her heartbreak away. When questioned by Homeland Security about her involvement with Dan she merely said they were having an affair and she knew nothing about his personal work. They seemed to buy it, they wrapped up their investigation. They confiscated everything in Dan's lab and then was on their way.
Jack and Sol began training us on how to develop and better control our skills. Which was crucial training to a few of us, like Ember who seemed to keep setting herself on fire with her new pyro abilities. Luckily, Azure had developed a hydro abilities and promptly put her twin sister out each and everytime.
In fact, I had nic named our five kids the Elementals because while Ember mastered fire and Azure water, Sebastian found the ability to move the earth by magnetically manipulating the metal minerals in the rock and soil. Alexis seemed to have some control over the air element, where she could use the air to do spectacular flips and occasionally could even levitate. Griffen, I labeled the Spirit Master, could somehow channel the spirit of any animal he came into contact with and transform into them. We realized this when we found two Olivers asleep together in Griffens bottom bunk bed.
Our powers weren't limited to one either, most of us seemed to be blessed with a physical and a mental enhancement. I felt that our abilities were in areas we already excelled in before our change. Like Ember, who was a great cook before, also had a sort of kitchen witchery ability where she could cook up all sorts of natural healing potions, tinctures, and ointments. Sebastian could pick up a book and learn or memorize every detail. He had developed a flawless memory and could absorb just about any information immediately. Alexis seemed to be able to speak to any animal telepathically which didn't surprise me since Alexis had always been an avid animal lover. At least now the animal could tell her when her hugs and loves were cutting off circulation or choking them. We always said she was like that little girl on Looney Tunes who would love them and hug them and kiss them and squeeze them.
Reuben's powers were essentially no surprise to us. Reub spent alot of his free time tinkering around in his garage working on his Nova or rewiring some gadget. He seemed to spend even more time out there now that we were basically on national house arrest. Reuben just didn't seem to know what to do with all of this time on his hands. During one of his ADHD moments he discovered he had taken his tinker to a whole new level, designing his own miniature Tesla coil out of stuff laying around the house. He seemed to even be able to use himself as a sort of super conductor which I found to be terrifyingly amazing. When one of his electronic gadgets went awry one day and knocked the Nova straight off the lifts Reuben found he also had strength abouve normal human capacity. Reub caught that Nova with freakish ease. He was quite proud of that particular accomplishment and spent the next few weeks after that lifting and moving everything he should not have been able to lift or move.
Sam probably had the most entertaining ability of all of us. She found she could make people physically do things she wanted them to just by mere will. We call it the "Puppet Master" power, and she wasn't afraid to use it either. Often, when rations would be delivered we would notice the delivery people digging obnoxiously in their noses, ears or asses. Looking over to Sam's house there she would be laughing hysterically!
Sol was pretty excited about his new skills, other than enhanced martial arts he had also been blessed with telekenisis. Which he referred to as "Using the Force" He's such a nerd. I would find him playing video games with only his mind or we would frequently witness a random object floating across the room towards his lap or hand. Luna, the cat, told Alexis that she found this ability to be quite entertaining as sometimes sol would dangle a string in mid air for her to play with. Oliver on the other hand did not care for his ball floating above him where he couldnt quite reach it.
Jack was given the gift of telepathy and he and Sage would carry on silent coversations, presumably about those of us in the room with them. This skill made me the most uncomfortable. I had to suppose he could read my thoughts which I often preferred to keep to myself especially when it came to my increased irritation with his wife Sage.
Sage who had always had a green thumb now could command plants at will. Which was very cool for our community gardening needs but she was very arrogant about her powers and constantly reminded us how we wouldnt be eating certain things if it werent for her. No wonder her other power was poisonous, toxic skin. It matched her personality. And now that her skin caused a rash she had an easy out on shrugging off any other responcibilities she would have had. Her skin was her excuse to not help anyone, do anything. The rest of us had completely taken over the responcibilities of caring for Jonah and Baby Jasper.She couldn't seem to even glove up and change her own sons diaper or feed him a bottle. Luckily Ember and Azure were at the age where they loved playing Little Mama's to him. Oh and speaking of Baby Jasper, he had found himself capable of a sonic scream. His little body could produce a screech that could knock most people within 100 feet completely unconscious. Hami seemed to have a similiar thing with a sonic laugh. We could at least appeal to him to keep his power under control whereas we were powerless against the wrath of Baby Jasper!
We had three different charmers in our group, or at least thats what I would classify them as. Liza, who was now a 20 yr old sex symbol seemed to have an uncombatable allure over the men of the group. No matter what she wanted or needed the guys would be tripping over their own feet to accomodate her. They described it as if she smelled of the loviest honeysuckle and they wanted to do was make her happy. Sam and Beth were thouroughly irritated by their gorgeous mothers new found pheromone manipulation ability.
Shiloh was alot like her Mimzy in the way that she also held a charm over people. It didn't matter what she asked for or demanded and we just could not say no. "You want to give me ice cream and brownies for breakfast" and there we were baking brownies and scooping ice cream. Then later on going "why did I do that??" Shiloh used her powers often and often for no good. But she was three and who could blame her.
And as if my lovely little sister Harper couldn't get any lovlier she found herself with a singing voice that could hypnotize a room full of people. We found this one out when we decided to occupy ourselves with a Rock Band night and when Harp began to sing everyone in the room became so mesmerized they didn't recall a thing that had gone on.
Beth who couldn't walk without crutches before RV16-1 now not only could walk but could run and not only could run but could move at such a high rate of speed that we couldn't see more than a blur.
And one day Gabe and Zeke were outside in their back yard play wrestling on their trampoline things got a little bit out of hand (as they so often do with boys being boys). Gabe somehow hurt Zeke doing a high flying trick and Zeke went berzerk breaking both of Gabe's arms, cracked a few ribs and bloodied his face up pretty badly. It was like he had his dads super strength but only in a moment of rage. But Zeke's super strength didn't turn out to be the biggest discovery during that event. When Gabe was brought in and made comfortable we went to assess the damage to his arms and we watched them heal up right in front of our eyes. It was most miraculous but then again everything that had happened to us lately seemed to be miraculous!
Our world had changed around us and our lives had literally transformed from the inside out. The rumor around the net was the government was on the verge of completeing testing on a vaccine that would give hope to an eventual end to this quarantine. Then we would have to figure out how we would integrate back into a world that we no longer fit into anymore.
Jack and Sol began training us on how to develop and better control our skills.

When Gabe was brought in and made comfortable we went to assess the damage to his arms and we watched them heal up right in front of our eyes. It was most miraculous but then again everything that had happened to us lately seemed to be miraculous!
Our world had changed around us and our lives had literally transformed from the inside out. The rumor around the net was the government was on the verge of completeing testing on a vaccine that would give hope to an eventual end to this quarantine. Then we would have to figure out how we would integrate back into a world that we no longer fit into anymore.

Egypt
I was walking down a dark corridor. I wasn't entirely sure where I was headed or what was waiting on the other side. Yet still I moved forward. There was indeed a light at the end of the tunnel, a light, bright and colorful, not like the traditional white light you expect to see when you die. "Was I dying?" I suddenly thought to myself. I couldn't really remember the moments before entering the corridor. Perhaps that was for the best, what if I had been killed in some horribly tragic way. I wouldn't want to remember that. I tried to think about where I had been but I just couldn't remember. All I could think of was the spetacular light up ahead. It was drawing me in, that psychadelic rainbow, calling to me like a siren at sea.
The closer I came the warmer I felt. I hadn't realized I was cold until I felt the warmth. It seemed as though I could reach out and touch the radiating bursts of color. I could clearly see there was an open doorway where the light was coming from. Naturally, as if I didn't even know the feeling of fear, I stepped into the colorful array. The feeling of pure euphoria flooded my soul. I closed my eyes and basked in the ecstasy of that one pure moment. Music filled my ears like a rock opera, a symphony like no other. Electric guitars entwined with violins and bass. I opened my eyes and to my disappointment I merely was standing in a room with several doors. The music faded and silence filled the room.
All the doors were closed but each had its own unique size and style. Seven doors, there were seven doors. I counted them aloud. My curiosity was getting the best of me, were these doors locked, I wondered. What was behind them? Why did they feel so...familiar? I carefully inspected each one.
The first door was green covered in vines of ivy and had a single eye centered on the door. Bizzarely it seemed like a real eye that followed me as I passed it.
The second door was gray and had a solid white star on it. It dripped as if covered with condensation. The door felt icy to the touch and invoked a feeling of sadness and panic. I didn't want to go through that door.
The third was a beautiful royal blue and had a silver fleur de lis adorning it.
The fourth was black and had a pentacle upon it made of wooden sticks.
The fifth door was an aged all white door with a chalice on it. I could have taken hold of the chalice and drank of it had I choosen that door. But I did not this time, I merely moved on.
The sixth seemed to glow more so than the others, it was solid gold and had an ornamental Ankh. I felt awefully compelled to open this door but I thought I should inspect the final door before making a decision.
The last door was Indigo and had a glimmer to it. It held the Omega symbol upon it. I wasn't sure which door to try and open, they all seemed to be intriguing in their own way.
My glance returned to the illuminated door with the ankh. I stepped up to it and touched it's smooth golden surface. It was cool and inviting. Without applying much pressure the door began to slide open. As I stepped into the entryway. I could not have imagined what I experienced next...
With complete weightlessness I glided through time and space. Images filled my head faster than the speed of light. It was as if I watched a movie of an entire life time at warp speed. Yet every detail was engrained in my mind as if I, myself, had lived it. It slowed down and I hovered above a sacred chamber.
ANCIENT EGYPT - YEAR 10,500 BCE
The room was dark, only lit by a small torch. The walls were covered with slots that contained rolled up scrolls. Each were labeled with heiroglyphics. A woman sat at a makeshift table writing on a hemp scroll. Next to her, proped up against the table, was a staff topped with a serpent that seemed to have glowing eyes. I heard a shuffle coming down the corridor towards the chamber. I looked at her closely and the resemblance was uncanny, she was me. She was adorned with a golden head band in the shape of an asp. Her hair was braided and hung down over her left shoulder. The man that entered the room was a familiar face too, Reuben, my brother. It was comforting to see his face.
"Preistess Senephra, the great pyramid is nearing completion." Reuben (or whatever his name was) knealt down in respect to her. "My Priestess, our legacy will be preserved, until Atlantis rises again"
"I certainly hope the future will handle this knowlege more responcibly than our people did." she said with a bitter sadness.
"It is my prayer also." Reuben concurred.
As I took a closer look at the chamber I noticed 12 slots around the circular chamber. All but one held a human size crystal quartz skull. Sitting beautifully upon the table was the twelveth skull, it was a reddish orange color. Senephra picked it up with such love and care, polished it off with a soft cloth and placed it into the empty slot. In the middle of the room I noticed a strange golden chest. Two angels faced one another atop the beautifully ordained chest. My study of world religion certainly paid off this time, I immediately recognized the chest as the Ark of the Covenant. What was perplexing was the fact that the ark should not have existed during this time period and even stranger, why was it in a hidden chamber in ancient Egypt? The mention of the ark seemed to be exclusive to the Hebrew based religions(ie: Judaism, Chrisitanity and Islam). I had never heard of the mention of the ark in Egyptian mythology. This time period seemed to pre date the ancient Egyptians written record so perhaps the Egyptians didn't even realize the ark was there. Moses was legened to have been ordered to build the chest and used it for communication with God. A silly concept when you think about it, why would God need a communication devise to begin with.
Senephra opened the ark with the help of Reuben and removed a beautiful purple amethyst skull. She placed it into the center of the ark between the two golden cherubum. What happened next was astonishing, the skull seemed to activate. It lit up with amazing colors flying everywhere. Then each skull around the chamber began to glow with a stream of light connecting each to one another and a spoke came inward to the skull housed in the center of the ark. It was reminessant of a chain of Christmas lights being plugged into the outlet for the first time of the year. The Priestess placed her hands upon the energized skulls and spoke, "Lord Enki, I call upon you. We, the final reminants of the sacred Priesthood of Atlantis, ask for your presence here on Earth. We have activated the gateway so that you may pass through."
The skull illuminated even more and eerily opened its mouth and began to speak, "My child, I see you and I hear you, and my blessings I bestow upon you. Your work will be the saving grace of humanity for the next time the skulls are reunited much will be at stake. We shall take the skulls and deliver them to the sacred people all across the Earth. The hall of Records that have been preparred shall be sealed until the proper time."
Senephra bowed her head and asked, "And what, my Lord, of the Ark?"
The skull replied, "The Ark shall remain in the chamber beneath the great Lion along with the records of my holy people the Atlanteans. The chamber is to be sealed and hidden until the appropriate time."
"My Lord, how will we know when the time arrives?"
"The skulls will find their way back to one another. The portal will be reopened and the final battle will occur. This will be many lifetimes from now my child. As for this lifetime, when the chamber has been sealed your work will be complete."
A sound like thunder cracked and a bolt of lightening flashed then the room fell completely dark. When Reuben lit his torch all 12 of the skulls and their coinsiding scrolls were gone, as if they had disappeared into thin air. Left in the room was the Ark and the 13th skull. Ezra sighed as a tear fell upon her cheek. She placed the skull and her sacred serpent rod into the ark. Took a bow of reverence. Then she and Reuben left the chamber for the very last time. They did as they were asked and sealed off the tunnel, they never spoke of the ark nor the skulls or the chamber again...at least not in that lifetime.
Before I came back to this lifetime, I noticed the angelic being that I had seen knealt down next to my bed. He stepped up to me and placed his hands upon my skull in the way that Senephra had placed her hands onto the magical crystal skull. Images forced their way into my mind. I saw the tall beings with the elongated skulls coming out of a sort of space craft and handing each skull to different native people from all across the globe. Not just people, but my people, my family, as if we have been here for thousands of years working towards the same mission, lifetime after lifetime. A Mayan woman who was clearly Ember with dark hair and eyes, Sol and Jack were no surprise, two monks in Tibet, a Japanese young girl was Alexis, Harper and Azure (who seemed to be Jaspers mother) lived the life of two native American women, Cherokee I do believe which happens to be a tribe our family descends from, Griffen and Zeke were two young boys on an island that would someday be known as the easter Islands, Sam was an older Celtic or Gaelic woman standing on a site that would eventually become Stonehenge, Sebastian and Shilohstood as a married couple with their children Gabriel, Jonah and Hami in an Incan village in Ancient Peru, two Russian men I didn't recognize made me assume they would be a part of our lives someday, Ricky and Marco looked like they were in an Aztec village, Beth stood near the banks of the Ganges in India, Liza was a Sumerian queen, and the final skull was taken by my neices Fiona and Adele (Ricky and Marco's adopted daughters) into the blue-green waters of the Caribbean and tucked it safely away.
Somehow, I knew for sure that these visions were not just the hallucinations of a sick woman or the bizzare dreams that had flooded my subconsciuos throughout my life but rather memories. Memories of lives I had lived before, lives that WE had lived before. Not only lives we had lived but purpose driven lives and this present lifetime was the culmination of the work over those thousands of years.

John and the Little Book
The beautiful angel I was begining to know so well stood beside my bed. I thought I should speak to him but before I could utter a word he placed his index finger to his mouth and shh'd me, reached out, took my hand, closed my eyes and suddenly, like magic, I was no longer in my bedroom. Rather I was standing upon a familiar Pacific Northwest beach. I thought to myself how strange it was that we had not been to the beach at all this summer. It was so unusual for our family, who typically took the hike down to the beach weekly during the summer months. The Death Angel had not only taken the lives of so many it had dramatically taken the quality of life of those who had managed to survive. I missed the smell of the salt water and the feel of the wet sand between my toes. The sounds of sea gulls and the incoming waves. The feel of home. I looked out into the ocean night and wondered when, if ever, would our lives return to some sense of normalacy. I sat down on a log and took in all that I could. The sky was clear, I could see each and every star. I noticed a strange object in the sky. At first I thought it was an aircraft but then it occured to me that planes had not flown since the quarantine had being in effect. I was awed by the sight, as it came closer and closer it was clear that it was another Angelic being but this one was far larger than the one who sat next to me. In fact, this one was a giant! He seemed to be surrounded by some sort of a mist or cloud. A glowing arch adorned his head. His face was so brightly illuminated I could hardly look at him. His legs, that appeared like fiery pillars, came down to Earth with a great thunder. With one foot in the water and one on the sand he bellowed out, "There will be no delay!" He raised his right hand towards the sky and in his left hand he held a little scroll.
In an instant, the beach was filled with freightened people. They were lining up to recieve something from the giant being. The Angel who stood next to me spoke, "Go. Take the scroll." I trusted his urging, walked over and took my place in line. Each person went up and was given a piece of the parchment scroll. They were all very happy and gracious to recieve the gift. They then took the scroll piece to their mouths and ate it. When it was my turn the being uttered to me "Take it and eat it!" I did as I was told and I found the parchment to taste sweet like honey and I felt satisfied when I was done just as those before me had. I could not comprehend what the meaning of the strange experience was. But when I stepped away and looked again closely at the giant being I was able to make out a face behind the light, it was Charles Clifton the director of the CDC. I looked around to the others whom I had followed and I saw three clusters of red dots now marking their foreheads. They were moaning and groaning in pain and agony. Writing in the sand of the beach vomiting and crying. It was not long before I knew why. My stomache became bitter and sour. A sharp pain resonated in my abdomen. I crawled over to the Angel who had brought me here and I cried, "What have you done to me? Why did you tell me to eat that posion?" The people around me were falling over dead in pools of their own bile.
The angel picked me up and placed his hand upon my abdomen which relieved my pain momentarily. He looked me deep into the eyes and spoke, "Because Ezra, you must be warned. Even though the vaccine will be recieved eagerly by the people, you must NOT take the vaccine. You must go out and prophecize concerning this to your people."
He then placed me on the ground and the pains returned. I knew I was dying just like the others, yet people still continued to line up for their portion of the posionous scroll. I gathered what energy I could and screamed out to them, "Stop! It is a trick! Do not eat of the scroll for you will surely die!!!" The pain then overwhelmed me, I vomited profusely and then my body gave out. I fell into unconsciousness once again.

The Martyre's
The Martyre's
As I entered slumber I was greeted by the familiar face of the beautiful angelic being I had been visited by so many times before. I had concluded that this frequent visitor was not part of some strange dream but rather a sort of spirit guide. He had shown me things that I never could have known without him. He warned us that the vaccine would ultimately lead to our death, advice that Dan's science proved sound. This time I took his hand without hesitation, he smiled a half smile and led me up and out our second floor window. This time he held me protectively in his arms and we flew across the night sky. I didn't seem to fear anything when I was with him. Ultimately I hoped he would lead me to my children. Flying felt incredibly liberating. I had never really thought about how truely free it would feel to soar along the skyline. We were headed south towards Seattle. I was eager to see the Space Needle from above rather than from the familiar below. It was truely as breathtaking as I had imagined it to be. The cityscape reflected off the water of the Puget Sound. The boats that were usually all over the bay sat docked in the harbor. It wasn't long before we began to descend into the city. It was a peculiar sight to see the city streets so empty. Seattle always seemed to have a hustle and bustle about it no matter the hour of the night. But with the quarantine, the only people on the streets were military and police adorned in haz-mat and riot gear, the routine "Death Trucks" that drive around collecting the dead, and a few vehicles with travel privilidge like Harper. We came to a beautiful Presbyterian Church in downtown. As I began to worry that we might be seen his touch reminded me that it would be ok. He opened the front doors and we entered the church. It was a richly decorated church. Above the altar was an eerie life size Jesus statue hanging. His martyred face silently, suffering upon a cross. My angel friend walked up to the altar and swiftly shoved it forward revealing a hidden stairwell. The secret passageway must have been there since the church was built in the early 1900's. I wondered if it had been used for trafficking alcohol during prohibition or was it something far more sinister. Nothing intrigued me more than a good mystery. The hallway lead to a large wooden door which gauging from the commotion there seemed to be a large group meeting behind it. He pushed the door open and I followed him in. No one seemed to notice or care that we were there. We seemed to blend in with the hodge podge of people that filled the room. In fact, the room was filled with all sorts of unusual folk mingling. Some arguing about different topics, others laughing and carrying on. It was clear at least some of these people were like us...evolved. I saw a man with hair like an ape but it was green like grass, one man stood on long legs like stilts, another fat man seemed to have the tusks of a wild boar along with the piggy nose. Made me wonder what you possibly could do with piggy powers. As I scanned the room, watching the people I paid close attention to the details of the room. It didn't take me long to realize what this secret room had been used for, or at least by whom it had been used. The chisel and hammer, the pyramid atopped with an all seeing eye, a compass and square with a G in the center. This had been a Masonic Lodge.
The crowd began to hush as a tall man with long, black, curly hair and a handle bar mustache walked up to the podium beneath the sign that read LEGION.
"Family, friends, Legion Members, this is a very critical time in our lives. We are being faced with some very difficult decisions. Our kind is under attack by this New World Order. They have waged war on us. They have put forth a plan that ensures the survival of their kind and the complete annihilation of ours. We have, as I see it, two choices. The first being a route of inaction. We can hide ourselves away, in caves or warehouses or secret chambers. We can try to forge fake identifications and bare false markings so that we may attempt to blend in with the human race. Those of us who still look human. Yes, we can hide ourselves away, hide our new found powers, hide away our children, give up our every right, give away our very dignity. But that isn't much of a choice is it? That is more like a prison sentence than a life. But I do believe there is another choice, a better choice. We can chose a plan of action. We can choose to fight." the crowd began to cheer and I found myself cheering along. Perhaps partially to blend in but part of me was moved by the words the charasmatic man was speaking.
He continued, "To fight for that which is inheritantly ours. It is, after all, Survival of the fittest and we are, by far, the fittest. These powers are our birthright. God gave us these gifts, not to hide away, but rather, to display with pride! Who among you is proud of who you are? Proud of who your children are?" the crowd roared.
One man shouted, "How long until we judge the inhabitants of this Earth and avenge the blood of our fallen brothers and sisters?"
The man at the podium answered, "Soon, my brother, very soon. In fact the counsil and I have devised a plan. We will unite our people and rise up against this corrupt world government that is trying to exterminate us! We will destroy them as they are trying to destroy us! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"
He grinned as the whole room rallied behind him, "Are we not the ones with powers? Are we not the ones who have been given the gifts. We are the ones intended to inherit the Earth and they are the ones intended to die off"
A group of council members began to walk up to the front of the room. They were all dressed in white robes with the Egyptian eye of Ra upon them, "To show our unity, we will all, each and every one of us, from here on out, wear the same white robes. White robes representing the purity of our blood, the holiness of our DNA. They will be a symbol that will be associated with us. Associated with our fight. A symbol that not only says YES, we are different than you, but also says YES we are better than you!" The counsil members began dispensing the robes and people were slipping them on eagerly. "They will say "I AM NOT YOU and that YOU CANNOT BE ME! Nor can you eliminate me or defeat me! We will respond with vengence for our people. We will stage strategic attacks on this dictatorship until it falls on its knees and begs us for mercy...Mercy, which we will not give! For we are Legion! We do not forgive. We do not forget! We have been given no other choice. No viable choice. We, have been left nothing. Nothing, but, fight."
I was so swept away by the moment that my angel friend had to grab me by the arm tightly to avoid me being carried into the chaos. Suddenly we were no longer in the hidden hall. We were in a city square with hundreds, no maybe thousands of people wearing the same white robes. They were marching upon an army of soldigers. They were using various powers against an arsenal of military retaliation. They all, on both sides, were killing anyone in sight. Some of the civilians in the crossfire quickly became casualties. It was a massacre and Legion was giving those soldigers quite the fight. In fact, the soldigers really had very little defense against the various skills of the army they battled. The soldigers suddenly began to retreat and Legion took it as a sign that they were achieving some sort of a victory. I could see how they might thing so but I sensed something more was on the horizon. I could hear the roar of jett planes in the distance. Those soldigers werent retreating but rather were pulling back because they had called in back up.
"They called in an air strike!" I shouted to the angelic being beside me. "We gotta get out of here!" but he shook his head no. This guy seemed to enjoy subjecting me to rated Mature violence for the sake of a lesson learned. I stood and watched as bombs dropped all around us. It was a horrific sight, the Legion members seemed paralyzed but some kind of nerve toxin that was being dropped. They were helpless when the nerve gas was followed up by bombs, missles and gun fire. One by one they fell down dead. I buried my head in my guides shoulder and soon there was silence. I opened my eyes and found myself back in my bed. Sol was snoring loudly. I knew I wouldnt be getting back to sleep anytime soon. I got up and went to the kitchen to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I sat down at on the couch and turned on the television. And old episode of Perry Mason, why the hell not.

The Death Angel Pt. 1
The Death Angel pt. 1
No one can possibly know what going through such a devestating and lethal pandemic is like. Knowing two-thirds of the world had already lost their lives to this Death Angel amplified the anxiety over the situation. My brothers family was already breaking out in painful, puss filled sores all over their bodies. I had planned on having Sage and the girls (Ember and Azure) help me with alternating 12 hr shifts but Sage refused to come over and expose herself to the infected. I explained to her that we were all already exposed but she still refused to take the chance. All I knew was my brother and his family had absolutely NO chance of surviving without a make shift nursing staff to monitor them and administer meds. I had no qualms about being over there, caring for those I loved. In fact, there was no other place I would rather be. Needless to say, I was there for the entire time and Ember and Azure were there helping me. I was so very proud of my girls who selflessly volunteered to aide me as long as needed. I could only reflect that Solomon and I had obviously done something right in raising two amazing, beautiful souls. Even alexis begged to come help but I told her she would help best by taking over at home caring for the younger children while we were gone. It would be a long and exhausting first few days but I knew when Harper came home she would be able to give us a break. We started by putting in a central line and immediately started them all on IV fluids, antibiotics and an antiviral. The most important thing was keeping them comfortable. We treated the sores with a topical cream, being careful not to burst the boils, as the fluid inside would spread the disease further. You could see where the pustules were going to erupt because it started with a bright red rash that within hours painfully arose. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before! I reflected back to when we were kids and all four of us got chicken pox. Reuben, who always had been more senstive to insect bites and such, got it so severe that he was hospitilized. Yet, it was nothing like this! By the end of the day everyone in the house was covered from head to toe with these raised puss filled sores. I had to put gloves on the kids to reduce the temptation to scratch. Zeke would scratch anyhow and how could you blame him?
I carefully collected samples of fluid and tissue that erupted from the sores, sealed them in the hazmat containers and set them aside for Dan to analyze. Even with pain relievers and fever reducers the body temperature rose and the pain was excruciating. It was painful just to watch my neice and nephews in such agony. I didnt even have time to think about the pain that I would soon endure myself. Liza was so mortified by her appearance that once we got her IV set up and all of her supplies in her room, she locked her bedroom door and opted to fight the disease alone. It certainly concerned me but Liza had always been stubborn and I knew that once she made up her mind I nor anyone else was going to change it. I did leave her one of the boys walkie talkies in her room so I could keep tabs on her progress, I knew that was the best we were going to get. Little did she know, I knew how to pick the lock if I did need to get into assist her later on. And I wouldnt hesitate to do it either. Liza had become a surrogate mother to the Gray clan when Sam married Reuben. Our mother left us when Harper was a baby and our father was such an abusive drunk and religious zealot, we were alone in the world. We often felt like a clan of orphans with no one but one another to rely upon. It was a welcome experience to have someone mother us. Liza was the Mama/Mimzy to the entire cul de sac and I wasn't going to loose her now.
I documented and checked vitals once every hour. Blood pressure, pulse, temperature, I noted each symptom and its severity as it appeared in each person. Interestingly, the symptoms seemed to display differently in each person. For example, Gabriel had the worst time with all over body pain. He cried out that he felt like his bones were breaking inside of him. Zeke ran such a high fever I had to surround him with Ziploc bags of ice just to keep it below 104*. Shiloh seemed to slip in and out of consciousness which I felt was probably for the best. Sam complained of an excruciating migraine which even the highest doses of pain medications didnt seem to relieve. Reuben had body aches and chills, being around 250 lbs he seemed to shake the bed. Beths pain seemed to be centralized in her legs and lower back. I assumed due to her already damaged legs and kidneys. Beth had her kidneys suddenly fail in her late twenties, she recieved one transplant that did not take and had been on dialysis for years. I was most concered about Beth since she had the most compromised immune system. But then again, Beth had the strongest will to fight coupled with a beautiful disposition. I had never heard Beth pittying herself and her medical issues. If anyone would or could beat the odds it was going to be her.
I got very little sleep the first 24 hrs, I think I took a few cat naps with the cat but so much was going on I just couldnt get much rest. Day two of the illness brought few surprises and complete exhaustion. Around 6 pm I somehow managed to have everyone dosed up and they all had fallen asleep. Ember was cooking us some soup, cooking was one of her special talents. Azure was the academic one where Ember was the domesticated one. Azure was asleep in the big comfy chair. I thought it was a good time to get Dr. Dan on Skynet and update him on the goings on.
"You looke terrible, Ezra!" Dan said with a cock eyed grin.
"Gee thanks, you should see everyone else in the house. I look like a beauty queen!" I laughed. How I found humor in a time like this was beyond me yet somehow I pulled it off.
"Well I am sure they are recieving excellent medical care." he smiled flirtatively.
I sighed, "I guess so."
"I know this is not an easy thing to go through. Your family is lucky to have you and your girls. Most families would have left them for dead in the art of self preservation." he was looking over some paperwork as he spoke.
"Tell me about it. My sister in law flat out refused to help out even though I know damn well she has already been exposed. I just don't understand how you can expect to survive this if we don't all pull together." the frustration was apparent in my voice. "This is the worst thing I have experienced in my entire life. But I cant let myself feel bad because my brother and his family are suffering far more. I am terrified I will watch each and everyone of them die...and then my own husband and children will be next..."
Dan stopped me, "No Ezra, I do not think any of you will die. And let me explain why."
I didn't know if I could hold onto any glimpse of hope because it was surely going to make the reality that much more painful when hope digresses into hopelessness. "How can that be Dan? No one in this latest outbreak has survived. I watch the news, they say the virus has evolved and is now at a 100% fatality rate! HOW is it NOT going to kill us also?"
"First off stop watching the news, the media is being told to report on this in a falsified manor. I'm not sure if they are being fed false data or if they are being told directly to decieve us. Nonetheless, they are not truthful. Just as some people are genetically predispostioned to develop certain diseases, you and your family are of the minority of poeple who are genetically predispositioned to fend off this disease." he explained.
"You mean like an immunity?"
"Not exactly like an immunity, let me expalin. As I began studying RV16-1 I asked Harper to assist me in recording the genetic sequences of the DNA/RNA or the viral genome . I saught to identify what disease this virus had evolved from. My first incling was smallpox as the presence of the pustules resembled those of smallpox."
"Wait," I interrupted, "I thought smallpox was completely irradicated and the remaining samples were ordered to be destroyed by the world heath organization in the late 1990's"
"You know your history"
"I am a writer and I teach a class on World History. Pandemics are part of history"
Dan smiled, I could tell he admired intelligence, probably more than any other human characteristic, "Well, Ezra, you are correct. Except for the fact that the last samples in existence, held in labs in Russia and the US, were not destroyed as ordered. The scientists thought the samples could be of use in future research. And it certainly was aggrivated by the tension and mistrust between the two super powers post Cold War. If one nation destroyed the vaccine and the other did not the chance for a biological warfare disaster increased ten fold."
"Which is what happened isn't it? So either the US or Russia did this? We purposely spread smallpox?"
"Well lets not jump the gun. There could be other samples circulating or the smallpox virus was so resilient it could have been unearthed from a tomb or some other historical requisition. The smallpox isn't even the most astonishing part of the discovery."
"More astonishing than a dead disease re-infecting the entire world??"
He nodded, "More astonishing! I not only identified the smallpox genes in RV16-1 but I also found various other markers that were not natural to smallpox."
"So the virus mutated?"
"Not a mutation. A mutation is a natural occurance that happens in the evolution of an organism. These variations display the tell tale signs of genetic modification or rather genetic engineering."
I was truely astonished, "You mean WE human beings did this?"
"One can only assume so, these changes could not have happened naturally."
Perplexed I asked, "Why modify a disease that is already so devestating to a population with no natural immunity?"
"My thought is that we have a vaccine for smallpox that was proven to be highly effective in treating and preventing and eventually wiping out the disease. The reason smallpox was easily irradicated had to do with the lack of natural mutations occuring in the virus. When the vaccine was produced the virus didn't change and the treatment was continually useful. Once you develop an immunity to smallpox, similiar to its cousin chicken pox, you will not be suseptible to the disease again. Without hosts lacking immunity, smallpox dies off. Whomever created RV16-1 was seeking the largest casualties imaginable. A super disease that could evolve quickly and would be extremely difficult to combat."
"Exactly, WHAT modifications were made?"
Dan continued, "Once we isolated the smallpox strand of the disease we began looking at the variations and compared them to genetic sequences of other disease. I knew there was a good possibility that some sort of viral hemorrhagic fever like Ebola was present due to the traits of the disease. These VHF's are very deadly and difficult to treat. Up until now most outbreaks occured in Africa and were easily isolated through geographic quarrantines. VHF's are not an airborne pathogen. But there were further sequences to identify. I suspected the bubonic plague from the eventual formation of black, swollen lymph glands. Sure enough, it was there. The plague was spread by fleas and is difficult to spread now that we have flea control."
"So this is smallpox, ebola, plague"
"Each of those diseases, albeit quite deadly in their own right, had one weakness or another. They did not spread easily and did not mutate quickly. That is where the simple influenza virus came into play. Just as I had isolated the plague, Harper discovered the flu genes, namely the genes that made for the adaptability of the disease. Enabling it to evolve as the human immune system builds up a new immunity each season."
My mind tried to wrap around the concept of a super disease, created by man with the sole purpose to destroy man. It was as if the human race was committing mass suicide. "How can we ever expect to survive something like this?"
Dan's serious tone was taken over by a smirk and he lifted up a sketch, "that my dear is the MOST interesting thing. The very first thing I noticed was RV16-1 appears to be a retro virus."
"Like HIV"
"Yes. It appears to behave like HIV in the way that the virus pirates the cells they infect. The viral genes are permanently inserted into the DNA of the host cell. That means you cannot cure this disease. Because the cells are forever genetically altered, those cells then go on to replicate the new mutated genes."
I interrupted him, "Again, then how can ANYONE survive this?"
"Not just ANYONE can survive this. But I am fairly certain YOU can survive this." He smiled.
"I don't understand. Why me..er us? What makes you so sure?"
"Before RV16-1 my pet project was called the Indigo Anomaly. I had isolated a unique indigo colored gene that had begun to show up in the human population over the past 75 to 100 yrs. It was unclear where the mutation had come from or how the mutation effected the people hosting it. What we did know is the Indigo's seemed drawn to eachother, they tended to seek out other Indigo's for mating thus passing along the gene to their offspring. Still only a very small percentage of people carried this gene. I found that when the Death Angel virus pirates the Indigo gene it mutates in a unique way compared to a normal cell."
"What...unique way?"
He shrugged his shoulder, "We will find out soon enough. See, Harper and I got to know eachother because when studying various employee samples (something we often do here for research purposes), I found that Harper was the only other Indigo here other than myself so we began to work together researching this gene. We had several subjects that we worked with, one being Brian, the man who escaped the CDC and returned with orange skin and superior strength. Changed yes, but alive. I assumed your family would also carry the Indigo gene since Harper did, after DNA analysis you all carry the gene. I have to assume we may have found the use for the Indigo gene...survival of RV16-1."
Again, I just didn't want to allow myself too much hope. I couldn't be so sure that the one case of this orange man Brian could be the proof needed to believe we would beat the odds. "Perhaps, only time will tell."
"Well keep me informed Ezra!" If you have any further questions feel free to ring me on Skynet. Harper and I are finishing up our clinical requirements for the night and will be heading home to prepare for our own battles with the Death Angel."
"Will do Dan...um...take care." I sighed and signed off. I closed my eyes and without even time to ponder all of the information I had just been given, I drifted off into a deep, slumber of exhaustion.

Malachi
Malachi
As I was pulled to safety within the dusty box car, I fell into the arms of a lone transient who had clearly made the railroad car his home. There was a sense of familiarity in the eyes of the strange man. "Thank you." I replied as I gained my composure. He hesitantly stepped back and gruffly mumbled, "You...you're welcome"
I couldn't put my finger on the familiarity at first. Then he headed over to the door and gazed out into the darkness of the night. The side profile brought forth the clarity, I had seen this homeless man before, several times. Although, there was something clearly unique and different about this time, he was certainly someone I had seen before. I stomped over to him and grabbed his arm, "Who are you?"
He was startled by my aggression, "Who am I, who are you? My Dear, you jumped into my train car and I have to answer the questions."
"Stop playing games with me." I demanded, "I saw you before, in that dream, the vision. And on the ship. You were by my bedside and you had wings. You aren't just some hobo." He turned away, as if to retreat into obscurity, "No, you are something else. What are you? One of us, is that your power, the wings. Why are you following me?"
He lowered his head and then suddenly transformed into the familiar face I had seen in my visions. His long, silvery hair flowed gracefully down his back. His eyes turned into a beautiful shade of Indigo. And his wings erupted from his back like a mother giving birth, the sense of relief overcame his beautiful face. "My name is Malachi, what your people call Angels. In actuality I am of the race called the Pleaidians. We are Watchers, I am a Watcher...your Watcher." He brushed my cheek with his warm hand "I see over your earthly exsistance, Ezra. Keep you safe and on your path."
"My path, of course." I steeped back in aggitation. I just didnt think I could handle one more deviation from the status quo. "This is insaine. First super powers now a freaking guardian angel."
Malachi's compassionate tone was comforting, "Many changes have occured very quickly in your world. Time is so valued here isnt it. But I do assure you that this is all a part of a much bigger picture. Ezra you are special, you are one of the Chosen Ones."
I rolled my eyes, it was just my natural reaction, "Chosen by whom? Chosen for what? No wait let me guess, you are an Angel so it must be God. I've been chosen by God. Lovely." I threw my hands up in the air and stomped over to the corner and sat down on a crate.
Malachi gracefully glided over to me and sat down next to me, "God is perhaps what you might call them. But they are not exactly how you see God. I suppose I should back track a bit."
"A bit! Let's start with "In the Begining...you know...God created the heavens and the earth" that part.
Malachi chuckled then continued, "That was a bit of a fabrication. Why dont we start with in the begining your solar system was much of what it is today. Dinosaurs and the big animals ruled the lush, over grown landscape. Evolution occured naturally as it has on many other planets inmany other galaxies. The "Gods" are a race known as the Anunnaki. They resided on their home planet of Nibiru which orbited in our very own solar system of Pleaides. We were in all reality neighbors. Until a tragic cosmic event occured, a comet hit Nibiru knocking it out of our solar system. It hurled through space until it was drwn into an eliptical 3600 yr orbit in this solar system. The Anunnaki used up all of their natural resources just trying to survive the catastrophe. They sent out scout ships to look for resources in the inner planets. That is when the Gods first came to this planet." he explained.
"And we evolved thinking they were gods?"
"Not exactly. Nibiru's first transit into your inner solar system was a geological disaster . The big animals didnt survive. The massive Climate change severly effected the livelyhood of Earth. But it was still found to be rich in gold and that is what the Anunnaki saught. Mines were quickly set up all over Earth and Anunnaki workers were brought in to work the mines. The system left the miners here for thousands of years. The conditions in those mines were wretched and the miners soon revolted and walked out. This left the Anunnaki leader Enlil (he who had earthly conrol) in a tough situation with highest priority to keep the mines running. The Anunnaki counsil was left to come up with a quick solution. Enki and his sister Ninti , master geneticists, came forward with a solution. Enki believed he could take the cro-magnon man and alter his DNA to make him a viable worker drone. The worker drone would be able to follow direction well enough to maintain operations while the Anunnaki were in Nibirus outer orbit. They would merely return every 3600 yrs and collect their gold." he explained.
"So we were created to be slaves?" I uttered, what a lousy blow to the human ego. God didnt create us out of love or companionship. Just of a need, we were merely a lowly working beast.
Malachi continued "Yes, and the system worked very well for quite sometime. It was actually Enki, your creator, who wished better for mankind than the animalistic life Enlil was allowing you. And thus a bitter rivalry arose, one which is coming to conclusion, a final battle that will put an end to this epic saga."
"And that is why the Death Angel virus is here?" It all seemed to make sense. This virus was no different than the white man giving the Native Americans smallpox infested blankets in order to cripple their population.
"Throughout human history Enlil and his shadow demons have attempted to exterminate the human race by many different means. Mostly biological, in order to avoid suspicion on the part of the people."
"Wait, Shadow Demons?"
"The Shadow Demons are similiar to we Pleaidians in the way that they do not require a physical body to exsist. They cannot die and are not limited by time nor space. Yet just as similiar as we are, we are completely different. They are the yin to our yang. Rather than being beings of Light Energy, the Shadow People are beings of complete darkness. Where we emit a sense of peace, love and light they emit a sense of dread, fear and darkness. Enlil knew the Shadow Demons were the only beings that could truely combat us therefore he entered into a partnership with them so be his Watchers here on Earth, working towards Enlils goals as we do Enki's."
Everything Malachi was saying seemed to blow my mind. It answered so many questions I had spent a lifetime seeking. "This is so unreal."
"We, Pleaidians have been equally vigilent in combatting these attacks on your people. The existence of plague spans the entire recorded human history and every disease can be traced back to Enlil's quest to wipe out mankind. The first attack was directed at Egypt and was semi-documented in the Hebrew Old Testament. Cleverly, Enlil synchronized the release of Plague with the eruption of Santorini, a volcano north of Egypt in Greece. An erruption which caused sizable climate changes and various volcano related anomolies. This proved compelling enough for Moses to convience Pharoah to release the Hebrew people from the slavery they had fallen into during the time the Anunnaki were away."
"Why the Hebrew people?" I questioned. That would mean the God of the Hebrews, Jehovah was in reality Enlil and he was the bad guy. The Bible that our drunken father shoved down our throats our whole lives was a complete crock of bullshit written to keep the slaves in line. I drew a tad bit of satisfaction thinking about that aspect.
"The Hebrews are the choosen bloodline of Enlil. A covenant was made between Enlil and Abraham and this covenant is still honored today. When the dispute over Earth was finally settled Earths territories were divided up among the Anunnaki royal bloodline. That is when many Gods resided over many lands. Each trying his or her own way of governing. Sadly, the bitter rivalry between the two brothers never truely came to an end. Enlil, still angry over loosing complete rulership, took his people on a quest to regain eartly control."
"Why are the Anunnaki so interested in Earth? This whole thing is over gold?"
"The gold is a need, not just a want. Natural resources, namely gold which is grounded into a fine powder and released into their atmosphere. You see, when Nibiru was knocked out of its original orbit and drawn into an orbit in your solar system the Anunnaki were nearly brought to extinction. Most of the working class died during that catastrophe. Those who were much richer suddenly became the new working class beneath the Anunnaki royal bloodline. They sent those newly demoted out on the dangerous expeditions to explore the innner planets with Prince Enki. Your primative planet proved to be rich in natural resources, fertile , beautiful and untouched."
"So these "Gods", the Anunnaki are not omnipotent?" I inquired.
Malachi chuckeled again, "Not at all, the Anunnaki are quite mortal. All be it, an incredibly long lived race, living some 150,000 to 200,000 years. To humans this may seem immortal in the way that a human must seem immortal to a house fly whose life merely spans 24hrs."
"I see. Are you immortal?"
"We are, what you would call immortal. We Pleaidians are beings of Light. Pure energy, life force, consciousness, chi. Energy cannot die, nor cease to exsist...it merely moves to another place or returns to the whole. We exist in purity in the light realm but we also choose to incarnate into the material realm. "
"Incarnate? So I...we, humans are essentially incarnations of you?"
"We Pleaidians along with those from the Shadow realm are who you are, beyond this physical, temporary form. Your higher self, your higher consciousness, your soul...you." his smile radiated, he loved seeing the look of enlightenment in my eyes.
"So why are we here? Trapped in these bodies?"
"You Ezra, along with 144,000 other Pleaidian souls are uniquely here for a purpose. Let me continue, it will all make sense once you remember who you truely are. Creating a hybrid capable of maintaining gold production while the Anunnaki are in the outer reaches of their orbit was simple. Enki had been experimenting with combining the DNA of different species and creating new species. None of which had much use or survived long term here on Earth. They are creatures of legend but you, humans became Enki and Ninti golden prize. Enki used his own male Anunnaki DNA as the donating father, combined with a female ape woman to create human kind. Enlil had very little fath in the pseudoscience his brother and sister engulfed themselves in. He was quite apprehensive about the possible monster that could be born out of such dabbling. But the Anunnaki need for gold was his top priority and he allowed the experiment to go on provided the new creature was forbidden one thing..."
"Fruit?" I joked, referring to the Genesis account.
"Indeed, fruit, the fruit of Knowledge. Knowledge that comes from consciousness, and consciousness is only accesible when a being possesses a soul. Enlil believed so long as you were denied a soul you would remain animals, obident, trained workers. And he was right, for thousands of years the system worked flawlessly. Your species did as they were told and the Anunnaki showed you no favor other than to provide food and shelter. But it saddened Enki for he was the father of your race. No father would wish a meaningless slave exsistence for his children and grandchildren."
"And that is where you came in?"
Malachi nodded, "Enki enlisted our help to give man a soul...well actually woman. See the story of Adam and Eve was not the story of the first humans but rather the first humans with souls. The forbidden fruit was the soul itself. When Eve took on the soul and Adam followed suit Enlil was furious. That's when this long spaning feud became an all out war."
"So the Death Angel virus was just another attempt to wipe us out?"
"Yes. The final attempt before the Gods return." he whinced.
"Return?"
"Yes, return. The Anunnaki will be within traveling distance of Earth by 2015. The plan was set into motion 3500 yrs ago before the Gods departed. They would release a plague that incorporated all of the best traits of the previouss diseases then couple it with war, famine and conquest."
"The four horsemen of the Apocalypse."
He nodded, "The Anunnaki plan to take back Earth from the humans. But what Enlil does not know is that we too have a plan to restore peace, love and harmony to the Earth. Return Earth to the pardise it was eons ago. An Ace in the Hole as you would call it."
The peices of the puzzle began to all fall into place. I knew exactly what the Ace in the Hole was..."US?"
"Yes, Ezra, you. See during the time of Atlantis we Pleaidians saw humans reaching a critical point. We had watched over you from the begining and we could not stand back and see you loose this great battle. A special group of Pleaidians voulenteered to incarnate into this physical realm with a mission to rescue Earth. This team was called A.D.E.M. (Advanced Division of Evolutionary Mechanics) You are part of that mission, Ezra. The unfortunate thing about this 3D realm is the physical body that you are born into is limiting. You only hang on to faint reminders of who you really are and what you're here to do. You and those 144,000 other souls that are here incarnating together lifetime after lifetime have a mission. A mission of love, to aide in the evolution of the human race. We needed you and those like you here in the physical realm working towards the goal of human advancement. But sometimes you just forget. Sometimes we have to watch over and guide you towards the directive."
"Is that how did we survived the Death Angel virus?" it wasn't any surprise that survival came from some sort of divine extra terrestrial force.
"Over the past 100 years we have been altering the bodies you incarnated into. Abducting, altering DNA, equipping you with the ultimate defense mechanism for biological warfare. A defense that not only defends, but activates a weapon deeply encoded in your DNA. It unleashes the true Light being that has been trapped inside that material shell. Gives you access to all of that brain rather than only the 10% the Anunnaki design allowed."
"So thats how we survived..."
"THAT is how you EVOLVED. Survival will not be enough when the Anunnaki return. Because when they do they will show up with all of their weaponry and any number of ways to completely exterminate you. The only chance this planet has is within you and those like you. But you will need time to learn to harness it. To learn to work together for the greater good." he placed his arm around me and pulled me into his shoulder.
"This is all so, overwhelming," I sighed.
He laid his head on the top of mine, "Ezra, you have been chosen for an even greater task."
"Even greater than saving the world with my super human powers?" I giggled. What more could life possibly throw at me.
"Even more," he whispered, "You, will be the mother of humanities one true hope."
I popped up in surprise, "One of my kids? It's Griffen isnt it...no wait Sebastian, he's the smart one..."
"No, Ezra, listen." he took both my cheeks in his soft pale hands and gazed deep into my eyes, "When you awaken on this train you will be with child."
I tried to shake my head but he help my face straight, "That cannot be I havent been with my husband since before the sickness. I would know if I were pregnant."
"This child will not share you and Solomon's human DNA. This child is a being of pure Light whose soul is noble and enlightened. He will lead your people into the great final battle. He will bring you to victory." the excitement in Malachis voice could barely be contained.
All I could think of was Sol. How could he ever understand something like this? "But what will my husband think? He will think I've been unfaithful."
"He too is being visited by his Watcher. Solomon will understand the divinity of this child you carry. He will know that this is the seed of the Chiristos"
He leaned in and smiled, I looked into his violet colored eyes and felt a sense of peace. I watched as the wind blew through his silvery hair. I felt pure love erupting from his soul. Calmness flooded my body and the tired heavy sense of slumber overtook me. He softly kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes yet I could still see him. Dazzling color and light entwined with my own whole being. We floated over our bodies, suspended in time and space. He held up his glittering hand and I saw a delicate purple spiral cushioned in his palm. It snaked out towards my abdomen. It was by far the most breath taking thing I had ever seen. When it entered my body I was flooded with emotion that hit me so hard I feel into unconsciousness.
The next thing I knew I was startled awake by the sound of the scrathcing, clawing and two loud thuds. The Wolfe boys had made it back to the train safely and my Angel was no where to be found.
