Reasurrance

"What do mean the next stop is Hell?!" Ali yelled. All she knew, was she had to get to SM Labs to tell her brothers and sister about Christ, so she hopped on this weird bus. What was happening?

"The way I see it," the driver said, not even taking his eyes off the road. "You know deep in your heart, you haven't changed one bit. And Hell is where you go if you don't believe Jesus is Christ." The driver turned to her and gave her a grin that sent shivers up her spine. She and Catterwaller huddled in a corner afraid to do anything.

Suddenly a bright light shone in front of the driver and the bus was cut in two, as if by a sword. Angels came down and surrounded Ali. Then she herd a voice that made her heart leap. "STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!"

Then Ali awoke. She covered her face with her hands, then took them away. She was safe in the Mill's guest bedroom. She was so confused. Had she really changed?

 "Wake up!" Alaina yelled and went back and forth pounding on her brother's doors. Josh's door opened first.

"All right, all right. What is it?" he asked.

Alaina pounded on Joe's door until he woke up

"It's 2 a.m. Sis. What's wrong?"

"Ali is missing!"

 Ali stood on the hill behind the Mill's house, in her pajamas. She looked in wonder at the myriad of stars. "I don't know what to do, Lord. My family doesn't know you, but they need you. I can't go back. They'll never accept me now. I need.... reassurance." A cool night breeze blew around her, and in that moment she knew everything would work out. She went back to bed, dreaming about the happy family she hoped they could be again.
