Laura is arranging some of her clothings in her luggage. Although Laura was 19, she still had the same girlish stuffs of a 16 year old girl.
She arranged her clothes into the pink luggage, then she tried to close it but is unable to. She tried forcing, so she decided to take out some of her stuff out.
Meanwhile, when she was trying to close the luggage, George had been at the door post watching her. Chuckles.
Laura turned to the direction of the sound and she saw George towering her. She stood up defencely.
What are you doing here. She said.
Nothing bad in visiting my elder sister's room, is there? He said as he smiled mischieviously.
You are terrible. She said bending down to arrange her clothings.
And I'm your brother. He replied. But you wouldn't be needing much clothings as this, so why bother.
Laura scoffs. And you think because a space rock would hit the Earth tomorrow should change whatever I do. She asked knowing what he meant.
Point! He replied.
Uhm..... just get your ass out of my room. She said.
As you command your highness. He said mockingly as he left and shot the door behind him.
She thought of what George said. Maybe he was right. So she took out some of her close to leave aside, although she had a hard choice choosing, she eventually took some out and kept them in her wardrobe. As she stepped aside from the wardrobe, she heard her name being called, by a calm but rather melodious voice. She ignored and headed to the door to exit her room.
Laura Eastman! She heard the voice again this time clearer and accompanied by chill air and silent thunder claps.
She looks around the room to be sure no one was there. Who are you? she asked.
You don't seem frightened, or are you? The voice asked.
No, no I am not. She replied. How could I possibly be frightened by someone who rather stays in the shadows to talk, than coming into the light.
Truely Laura had a point, Lucifer initially intended to meet Laura physically, but was also scared of what he felt when they saw each other at Mr T-Foods restuarant.
Who are you? she asked, breaking the awkward silence.
If I told you, you won't believe and even if you did, you won't listen to me. The voice said.
Then bye, i have got things to do. Laura said bluntly.
I need to speak with you, Laura Eastman. The voice said.
Why?
I need to know who you are. The voice said.
Who I am?! But you just called me by my name didn't you. She said confused.
Yes, I did. The voice said.
Then what else do you want to know about me. Laura asked getting impatient.
Lucifer not knowing what else to do or how to tell her, decided to just tell her everything.
For quite some months now you've been hauting me in my dreams, I want to know why and how you managed to get into my dreams. The voice said.
Laura scoffs. So you do dream. She said mockingly.
Do not force me to be rash on you Laura Eastman. The voice yelled in anger.
How could i possibly know? Mr Voice, and why am I even talking to you.
I am sorry, Laura Eastman. The voice said, with the word sorry sounding as if said for the first time.
Lucifer himself was confused, how could he apologize to a human girl. He never apologized to anyone, not even God, his father. He finds himself doing something he had never done.
Sorry?! For what? She asked confused.
For yelling at you. He said.
Umm...,sincerely, I am confuse. What do you really want for me, i don't have much time?
You are a troubled young lady Laura Eastman. The voice answered.
That doesn't answer my question, freak. Laura said fumming anger. And stop calling my full name.
How would you prefer it then? The voice asked.
Laura. She said. Name's Laura.
Then so be it Laura.
Ok, what do you...... Laura stops as George interupts.
Oh my God, Laura Eastman has gone metally disarray. That's a first. Who knows what she would do with the little time she has left.
What are you talking about? Laura blurted out.
You, in your room alone, but talking all by yourself. Or were you talking to someone? George said.
No, not at all. Just leave. Laura said confused.
Who cares anyway. He left.
Is your brother always like that? The voice resumed.
No. And don't bring him into this. He is a jerk. Laura spat.
Oh, really. Atleast he didn't seem as troubled as you are. So tell me Laura. What bothers you? he said.
What is wrong with you? Laura asked. To think that I am talking to a faceless, formless voice is enough to go mad within seconds. Now that voice wants to invade my privacy. Who are you anyway, and how did you manage to be able to get to me.
I am many. But not formless or even faceless. Who am I?! You know me, but quite unfortunate that you don't believe I exist. And how I am able to get you. I am in your head Laura, I can feel you, feel your pain, feel your restlessness, I know everything that is going on with you. The voice said convincily.
Then why bother ask me this questions, you can figure them out by yourself if you are really in my head. Laura blurted out.
Sometimes it is better you get what the want from the horse's mouth, than to assume for it. The voice said in riddles.
That is? Laura asked confused.
You should tell me, so I don't just assume for you. The voice said.
It is non of your business..... Voice. Laura said.
You are bothered about what the future holds for you, you see nothing but death and darkness. But trust me when I say this isn't the end. The voice said reassuringly.
And how are you so sure about that? Laura asked curiously.
I do see glimpse of the future in my sleep, and also when I look at someone. It's a gift from God. The voice answered.
So?! Laura said.
There is still hope for the Earth Laura, hope for you. The voice replied.
And what does that mean exactly. She said. Does it mean the meteor won't hit the Earth.
That, I don't know, but I am certain, that God has a plan. He always do. For I see the Earth, it's bright sunshine shimering on the oceans and the joy and happiness of mankind. He said.
Uhm... whatever just get out of my head. Laura said.
No, I am not done with you. The voice said.
Whatever you say, I am out of here. I am sick of listening to your trash. She said.
Do not push me Laura Eastman. The voice said with anger in it.
How, what could a voice possibly do. She said.
She reached for the door, but as she got to the door, it locked itself mysteriously. Laura stretched her hands to open it with the keys, but her hand freezes. She tried to control it to open the door, but it seemed to have had a mind of it's own and had decided to rebel against Laura. The keys turned redhot, and she dropped it immediately because of the heat it emitted. As she tries to struggle with an unknow force now controlling her body, her kneels felt weak so she fell on them. She is panting for air as she is released by the unknown force.
I told you Laura Eastman, To not push me to hurt you and you did. The voice said, sounding regretful.
What do you want? she said still panting.
You! said the voice.
Laura, was confused. What would a voice want to do with her she thought.
I want you to tell me how exactly you got into my dreams. I do not dream like humans, my dreams are mere glimpse of the future. But now I dream more like a human than a divine being, and you Laura Eastman, you are the one who haunts me in my dreams. How is that possible? The voice said trembling with confusion.
I.....I have no idea of what you are talking about. Laura stammered.
Spare me that nosense. The voice yelled, accompanied by indistant thunder claps.
Seriously!, I have no idea what you are talking about, how could I possibly haunt anyone, not even a voice. I am nothing special. I am just a teenage who is trying to do something with her life. Laura blurted out.
Lucifer could sense that she was telling the truth.
You are special. He said confused at why he made that statement.
No I am not. I am just a regular teen. Laura said.
I will leave you to you faith now, but I will be back. He concluded.
No you should'nt come back, why should you. I want to be left alone, not talking to strange voices. Laura retorted.
No, you won't. I will come in person.Β He said.
Uhm.... if so, when do you intend coming. I don't like unexpected guest. Laura snapped.
Lunch. He said as he left.
Lunch?! What is that suppose to mean anyway. Laura asked. But it is followed by an awkward silence, then she heard the door lock opens by itself.
She was still confused at the statement "Lunch" so she got up from the ground and exited the room.

Later that day, Laura, George and their mom, were in the car heading for Ohio, were there grand parents live.
Laura sat down in the front passenger sit with her mom who was driving. George on the other hand sat behind them with an headset on his head and his ipad, playing some video games.
Laura sat down there contemplating on what the voice told her, who was he? she thought. And again she remembered he said Laura knew him but doesn't believe he exist.
She was bothered.
Are you okay Laura? Her mom asked noticing her troubled face.
I am mom. She said.
Are you sure, coz you look so pale. Her mom said.
Yes you look like a ghost. George said from behind. He had noticed Laura and his mom talking and he stopped what he was doing and pulled the headset off his head.
Shut up George. Laura said weakly.
Mom, how long do we have before we get to Ohio. George asked.
Maybe 2 hours, and an extra 30 minutes to get to your grandparents residence. His mom replied.
They sat down in silence for an hour, this time Laura had picked up a book she was reading. She tried to read it but the conversation she had with the voice still flashes across her head, she also remembered the mystery man she saw the previous day. Why is this happening to me. She wondered.
After some time, she dropped the book back, it was getting dark anyway so why bother. She reasoned.
Laura, are you sure you are alright? Laura's mom asked again very worried.
Laura decided to tell her mom. Mom I have been having nightmares, for a while.
Dreams?! her mom said.
Laura nods.
Dreams makes you worried? She asked. That's a first, do you mind telling me about it?.
No mom. Laura replied.
I'm all ears. Her mom assured.
Last two nights I......she got interupted by a very sharp loud noise overhead.
The Earth shook vigoriously and what happened next, happened in a jiffy. The car tyres screeches, and ran into the woods, After a while, the car crashed into a tree. If not that they were on their sit belts, they could have bumped there head really bad.
What the hell just happened, George asked holding his head.
They all slowly crept out of the car.
Mom, look. Laura pointed at the sky.
The meteor was now in piece, and another approahing them.
Oh, my God. George exclaimed. Watch out!.
They bend their head to dodge the meteorite. Then they raised there head, and heard a loud explosion made by the meteorite as it crashes.
Laura, dial 911. George get my camera and handnote. Their mom ordered.
Sweet! George said as he picked up the handnote and camera and followed his mom to the direction were the flame glowed.
Laura scared, not wanting to be left alone in this dark woods picked her phone and followed them.
They arrived the scene,
Mom look, the lake. Laura pointed.
It's....it's on fire. George said.
Yeah it is, what are you waiting for? my camera. His mom said.
Wait look, there is a man in the fire. We should...... Laura is interupted by a loud roar from the fire.
The fire intensifies, they couldn't believe their eyes, the man spreads apart his huge angelic wings, which as far as they could tell was made up of only flames.
George raised the camera to take a pic of it, but the camera bust into tiny bits on his hands.
Now what! He exclaimed.
One moment the man with the huge angelic wings of flames was in the lake, the next moment he was right in front of them.
Oh no. George panicked,
But he didn't seem to want to harm them, instead he slumps and fell unconcious. His tan skin which once glowed darkened, theΒ fire on the lake dies.
After a moment of silence, they recovered from their shock.
What do we do now. Asked Laura.
I think we leave him here. George concludes.
But we can't just leave him here to die. Laura pointed.
Laura, you are not blind. are you? Didn't you saw what happened. Whatever he is, we are not taking this freak with us. Mom. George called out, to know if his mom was in support.
I think your sister is right. Look at him, he is so helpless. His mom said.
What if he later wakes up and decides to kill us.
That won't happen. Laura assured.
You are always the optimistic one, you never can tell from the outside. George remarked.I think, we leave him here, he sort his problems out himself.
We can't just do that. Laura said.
They heard an indistant sirens, and also the blade of an helicopter.
Hurry, come on. There mother said as they held the shoulders of the man and draged him to the direction were there car had hit the tree.
