As the war progresses, the fighters accidentally did something that would blow up the entire world in one hour. Instantly the war stopped and everyone started doing everything i their power to leave Earth. They used rocket ships, well armored battle planes, even a couple of those Chitauri monsterships from the Avengers. But me, Dayna, mom, and others from our church and Resurrection church, got together in a high tech hanger, you know, for planes? It was big, bronze colored and bustle with people from Eternal and Resurrection. The mood was very different here. Instead of panic there was peace and a little bit of excitement. Except I was a little sad, because Ms. Teresa had told me, Dayna, and four other girls from ZCWA that we weren't going to leave Earth with them, but in a way, we were going to leave. She didn't say where, and I kept on pointing out that if the Earth was going to blow up in less than a half hour, we were going to die! Ms. Teresa said reassuringly that even though we wouldn't be, technically, leaving, we would be gone.
What made it even sadder was that mom was leaving too. Since time was short, we said a quick goodbye, then me and the other five girls followed Ms. Theresa to a kind of large storage closet. In it were six throne like chairs, all gold, but have a kind of color scheme. There was one for each girl, and Ms. Teresa said that they were for us. Then she left to catch her ride. (I forgot to mention that back in the hangers, while everyone was boarding whatever kind of transportation they had, someone, I'm not sure who but it might have Ms. Teresa, said that they would be coming back for us someday, and that I would marry someone who would be coming with them. I pretty much just shrugged that off to think about later).
Anyway, back to the storage closet. It looks more like an attic than a closet, with one of those dangling lamps hanging from the ceiling. Something suddenly clicked and we instantly knew which throne was ours. For some reason, my throne was the leader's throne, fiery orange, and each girl got a dress to put on that matched the color of their throne. There was an American flag propped in the corner, and I wanted to attach it to the top of my throne to honor my country, even though I didn't really like it as much. But, in order to do that, I had to put a bunch of wooden boards on top of the throne, which sort of altered it's beauty, in order to get the flag to stay up. Amy Ray (who I think had the blue throne), stops me and says something very important. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what. it had something to do with 'putting' or 'laying aside'...something. It might have been 'country', but that sounds very unpatriotic. But I'm pretty sure that's what she said! Somehow that changed my mind and I just discard the flag back in the corner, where it slides down and falls to the ground.
Suddenly, everything changes. We're now outside in a wide open, very green valley. We're all in colorful dresses and seated on our thrones in not really a circle, more like an incomplete oval. I'm on the far right, with three other girls sitting in a kind of oval pattern to my left. The other two were also sitting ovalish, but facing us from the other side. Of the girls in our group I'm pretty sure of was me, Dayna, Amy, Allison, and Mikaela. The other girl I don't remember at all. The valley is very beautiful and sheltered, with some hills and mountains surrounding it, and a lot of wavy grass. Somehow I managed to bring my Bible and a notebook, and I'm very overjoyed at that.
Centuries pass, and we never age a day. Along the line we find out that each of us have certain abilities, but what they are isn't exactly clear. I've become the groups leader in a way, but all we really do is just sit around in our thrones, waiting. We're the only ones in the valley, so it becomes quite a shock when we learn that we have visitors one day. At first we hope its those refugees Ms. Teresa said would come for us, but that doesn't really prove to be the case. A gigantic robot is mining the mountains that surround our valley. We have no idea if it's from Earth or whatever, but it obviously isn't friendly.
Eventually we learn that the robot works for the government, and its holding two guys captive in the mines. while it works on building some kind of fortress inside the mountains for the government. Apparently, they want to set up shop in our little haven, and we resolve not to let them. We return to our thrones for an emergency council. We quickly make a plan to rescue the two guys (who someone, I think Ali, found out that their names were something like Pepper and Piper O_o) and in the process destroy the robot, which was up to me... thanks a lot guys... So, for some reason, we sneak into the mountain in broad daylight and find that it's actually a portal linking our hidden valley to what the think could be the remains of Earth! Needless to say, things just got a lot more serious, and we quickly continue our search for the boys. We eventually find them, but, at the same time, the robot finds us! While the others escort Pepper and Piper (who i assume are brothers) out of the mines. I have to fight the robot.
I manage to get him to chase me outside again, and somehow I start flying and I lead the robot to the top of the mountain. Apparently, though its the size of a house, the thing can't fly. Then comes the revelation of my ability: I can either veil or unveil someone's eyes! So, still, flying, I make the robot become blind and it falls off the mountain. Its extreme fall brings the entire mountain down, sealing the mine and destroying the portal forever. I eventually rendezvous with the others at the thrones. Pepper and Piper are there too, and, besides from being a little bewildered, are okay. While they stand in the center of the gathered thrones, I take my seat and I'm just about to make introductions when I wake up! ARGH!
Though a little dismal a the beginning, I'm pretty sure it had a distinctive meaning. Hopefully a good one.
