"Tomorrow I have some business to do. I'll probably be gone for a week or two." said Jacob, Jaiph's father. "Father I'm seven now can I come with you please?" "Absolutely Not!" "But father you..." "Silence!" Jaiph got up and walked towards the door. Jacob pushed him aside and slammed the door in his face. "Jaiph, dear, come help your brother clear the table." Jaiph reluctantly obeyed. Jaiph soon forgot his father’s departure. That night as he slept night terrors crept into his mind. He saw flashes of screaming people, of angels dieing and last he saw his father picking up his dagger with Jaiph’s St. Christopher amulet in his hand, and stab himself. Jaiph awoke in a start. "NO!" he screamed. He jumped off the top bunk, Care full not to wake his baby brother; he crept to his parent’s room. They weren't there. Jaiph begin to panic thinking that his dreams were true. He did a 180 on the back of his heels. He saw his mother dead at the doorway. He picked her up and cursed God , as he look to the sky to see dust flying through the are. Jaiph realized that he couldn't stop the attack from God. He carefully dropped his mother and ran inside. He wrote down everything that had just happened, his name, age, and why he hated God. The dust came in as he realized that his dreams were real. His dreams were real. His father killed himself and his mother because of the bond of marriage is also a bond of life. The dust swept him and his baby brother up and dropped them in the middle of a field.
Jaiph awoke later that day. Crows were pecking at his pounding head. He got up and scared the crows away. "Who am I? Where am I?" he thought out loud. He looked around the field he was in and saw a small boy. The little boy was dead but Jaiph did not realize this at first. He got down on his hands and knees to treat the boy's cuts and wounds. Then he realized there was no heartbeat. There next to the boy's jacket was a small piece of paper, which read: "your name is Jaiph Lincoln. You are seven years old. You live on Earth. This is all Gods fault. Your little brother’s name is Matt. He is 3. Your father killed himself and your mother." Jaiph looked this over a few times then he remembered. He remembered his dream of the archangels falling. He remembered his father dieing and his mother dead. Jaiph looks up at the sky and cursed God and promised that as long as he is alive he will hunt and kill God.
