smile on his lips,
"We will try to keep you updated on the events as they occur. Please pray
for the victims of this horrific event."
    Stella turned the TV
off, but it's not her that speaks, it's Wyatt. "Shit, Revelations,
really?"
    I frown,
"What?"
    Mona gives me a look,
"Johnny Cash, the pale horse intro to The Man Comes Around. The rider is
death or something, right?"
    Wyatt scoffs,
"Yeah well, before Johnny Cash sang about it, it was a bible verse.
Jesus." Mona wrinkles her nose at him.
    Stella looks lost,
"I don’t understand."
    Constantine comes into
the room, "That is because, dear sister, you never cared for scripture.
But Uncle Vlad never let me get away with such complacency. I had to learn. The
white horse is the first. As the seals in God's hand break, the riders come
forth to bring about the end of days." He sips a glass of red wine before
he continues, "The white horse is first. He brings with him a bow and
wears a victor’s crown. He is war, conquest and war."
    I swallow hard,
"What does that mean?"
    Constantine shakes his
head but I don’t believe him. I don’t trust him. I look at Wyatt. He shakes his
head, "I don’t know. You killing the devils and sending them to hell with
the evil should stop the end of days." His phone rings as he speaks. He
pulls it out and gets up, "Hello?" He leaves the room.
    Constantine sighs,
"I agree with young Wyatt, this shouldn’t be the sequence of events as
long as the devils take their evil with them."
    Stella looks at me,
"Do we continue to allow her to kill the devils or does she die to save
the world?" Her face tells me which she would prefer, and I agree.
    I look down, wondering
the same thing over and over.
    When I look up,
Constantine is in front of me. He drops to his knees and tilts my chin up,
"The world will end and it will find a way to save itself that doesn’t
involve your death. No matter what, I say we kill the last three devils, now.
We leave now. Before the rest of the world falls apart ; kill them before they come for you. Even if they are gone and the whole world
dies, you and I will live on together."
    I nod, it's selfish
but I don’t care. I don’t want to die. I want to live. I want to feel again. I
feel like I am renting my body, not fully experiencing it. The other versions
of me are panicking inside of me too. I think it's why I can't feel everything
I used to, we are spreading the emotions too thin
amongst all five of us.
    Stella wraps a slender
arm around me, "We will help you, Ellie. No matter what, we want you to
live. Let the world save itself.”
    I nod, "Okay."
    Mona gives me a smile
too, but I can see the fear in her eyes. Michelle texts on
her phone on the couch, not really paying much attention to it all. I
smile when I see her pose, "What are you doing?"
    She gives me a look,
" Snapchatting ."
    I don’t know what that
means but she poses again, duck lips this time. Mona rolls her eyes, "That
is why the world is ending."
    I laugh as Wyatt comes
back in, "They want you to turn yourself in. The religious heads have
teamed up and spoken to my parents, and they're blaming you." I wince and
wait for him to switch sides. He looks at Constantine, "No doubt they were
tracing the call—we should go."
    Constantine nods,
giving Mona a sad look, "Rain check?"
    She smiles, "When
the world ends and begins again, and no one cares who Rayne is, we will restart
Christmas. Make new traditions. Or we will hide up here in the Alps and eat
until the end comes for us too."
    I feel sick. The other girls inside of me all agree, we feel sick.

    The plane lands in
Ciudad Juarez. Again, we somehow get to land on some strip that looks like a
dusty farm crop. The smell in the air is bad. I am hungry the minute we walk
from the plane to the car that is waiting. Tom nods at me. I nod back. He
shakes his head subtly. I realize he is nodding at the trunk. I pretend to fix
my sock as everyone gets into the SUV. He pops the trunk and a man comes
