Prompt

A teenager discovers she is a key player in an ancient prophecy foretelling the apocalypse.

Response

Teenage bearing the mark of a rose upon the base of her neck will lead us to ending the apocalypse.

“What are you doing here, Jacob?”

“Silas, are you following me again?”

“Of course, you will not stay out of trouble. Someone has to stop you before you kill yourself. Now, what do you think you are doing at the Prophecy Testing Store?”

Silas took in the glass wall enclosing the entire front of the Prophecy Testing Store. He had to keep Jacob from getting the information about his prophecy. If he discovered his role in it, the entire plan would be destroyed, and his leader set him a goal five years ago to keep him from the Occupancy from delivering Jacob to the Prophecy Testing Store. All Jacob had to do was get into the Old Prophecy Section of the store, and he’d be drawn to the prophecy about himself. So far, he’d succeeded. Lately, it’d been hard as hell to do so. Jacob seemed to be drawn to the store. It was as if something called to him. In fact, Jacob had met this stranger a few months ago, one whom Jacob refused to introduce him to, and since then, he’d been interested in the store. Since then, Jacob had been interested in the store. Silas was sure it was a member of the Occupancy.

“I really don’t know. There is something in there calling me to it. I have to get in there, and I can’t get a pass. Mom and Dad won’t pay for one. They say it is useless for me to go there.”

Sure, they do. They know how important it is to keep him away from it. “You know they never steer you wrong. You’ve always listened to them. What is wrong with doing so now?”

‘Silas, I have to get in there. I just have to. You have the money, but refuse to loan it to me.”

“That is a huge amount of money to just dish out, Jacob. It would take me months to replace it. Mom and Dad would ask me where it went from my savings. How would I explain it?” Lame excuse, but what I can’t get is why he hadn’t asked his new friend. I’m sure if he were part of the Occupancy, he would give him the money, unless . . .

“I’ll be in there before long. That is a promise.” Jacob spun on his heels and marched away.

I followed him all the way to his house and waited in his house until his bedroom light went out. Then I called his parents’ cell phone, letting them know they needed to up their security about him escaping their house late at night. They weren’t pleased with what I had to say, but I told them it was the outright truth, and if he escaped one night and broke into there it would be their asses in a sling with the leader, not mine.

The next day, I waited outside his house for Jacob to ride with me to school, but he never came out. Finally, his mom came out and said he had left on foot an hour earlier. We had a few words, then I left, scouring the community for Jacob. No luck on that front. The last place I looked, which turned out to be the first place I should have looked, was the Prophecy Testing Store was where he was.

He walked out with an angry expression on his face. What hurt the most was how he walked right up to the driver’s side of the car and threw a fist so hard my head whipped back into the car seat. My eyes swirled in my head as my chin shattered to the point where there was no speaking.

“You kept the prophecy from me. That was why you didn’t want me to go in there, wasn’t it? You are a lousy friend. Did you want me to kill everyone?”
