hospital Journey - night: later
Dairus, Jermaine and Liela and Marissa are walking to the hospital
Jermaine is walking beside Liela
JERMAINE
So Liela, how long have you been a guardian?
Liela
16 years.
JERMAINE
That's a long time.. any regrets?
LIELA
I have none against the orders of God.
JERMAINE
I take it that's a stab at me..
Liela says nothing.
Jermaine becomes frustrated and steps in front of Liela.
JERMAINE
Look! Only God is perfect and I've tried for many centuries to figure out a way to understand that.
LIELA
The only way to understand God's perfection is through loyalty Jermaine. You threw that away when you thought your methods were better than His.
JERMAINE
You think I don't know that? You think this is what I want for myself? For heaven? I only wanted to prove God's love.
Liela stops walking.
LIELA
The only proof you needed was to accept it.
Jermaine becomes taken aback.
Marissa is walking with Kyle.
KYLE
You said you were waiting for me? Why?
MARISSA
It's my destiny Kyle and for us Balita's destiny is everything to our existence.
KYLE
So what happens next once you've found me?
MARISSA
This.
They reach the entrance to the hosptial.
Hospital- night
Liela, Jermaine, Kyle, Dairus and Marissa are walking through the hospital.
Marissa signals the group to wait as she searches for someone.
LIELA
I guess we wait here.
Kyle and Darius walk around the hospital.
Jermaine and Liela are left alone.
JERMAINE
Can I ask.. what was it like after the war?
LIELA
Many cheered, some were filled with sorrow but we all felt the glory of God.
JERMAINE
I wish I was among them.. I'm sorry.
LIELA
You should try saying that to God sometime.
JERMAINE
I...
LIELA
Look.. I don't know if you are truly about redemption or not but God will always have His way of triumph. He's not just a leader but a symbol of our existence. When you and the others turned your backs it was our chance to prove to ourselves that that symbol was relevant and true.
JERMAINE
I.. I'm glad that you didn't go against God.. for what it's worth.
Liela looks at Jermaine.
Liela Sighs.
LIELA
Pray with me Jermaine.
Liela sticks out her hand.
Jermaine looks at Liela.
Jermaine smiles and takes Liela's hand.
Liela and Jermaine Pray.
Kyle and Dairus start heading back to the group.
Marissa show's up with three nurses.
DARIUS
How did you...
MARISSA
Beings of prophecy.
DARIUS
right.
Dairus, Kyle, Marissa and the three nurses go to a ward.
Kyle is seated on a bed.
Only one nurse is with kyle.
The other two nurses wait outside the room with Darius and Marissa.
Nurse 1
Kyle is it?
KYLE
Yes ma'm
NURSE 1
You want to know why?
KYLE
yes..
NURSE 1
Close your eyes for me
Kyle hesitates and looks at Darius
Darius nods his head yes
Kyle closes his eyes
The nurse places a finger on Kyle's forehead
Images of a war in heaven surface in Kyles mind
Kyle see's himself with wings
Kyle is killed in combat
Kyle is then reborn on earth
The nurse removes her finger
KYLE
This doesn't make any sense! I thought angels were immortal..
NURSE 1
It doesn't have to make any sense to you dear Kyle. You were once an angel in heaven who lost in combat. But God knew you'd still be useful in another way.
KYLE
But how come I never knew this? How come Darius never knew? I mean I thought..
NURSE 1
So many questions and very little patience. You must learn to be stronger than you are now.
The nurse gets up and leaves kyle sitting on the bed.
The nurse closes the door to kyles room.
The nurse locks the door.
Kyle gets up.
Kyle
Hey! What's going on?
DARIUS
What's the meaning of this?
NURSE 1
You must quickly get to the others... they're here.
Dairus looks at Marissa
Marissa nods at Darius.
DARIUS
Shouldn't one of us stay.. to protect Kyle?
NURSE 1
Don't worry.. this room is built on holy materials from our home planet. No being can break through it. We've sealed the walls.
Darius looks at Kyle
DARIUS
Hang in there Kyle! I'll be back, I promise!
Kyle
Darius!
Darius and Marissa leave quickly.
The 3 nurses smile at Kyle and leave the ward
The lights go off.
Kyle places both hands on the mirror in fear.
