Chapter 3 - “In Between” Part 1/2

Bobby was dreaming. But he wasn’t. He was confused. He wasn’t supposed to hurt when he dreamed. He didn’t think he had before. And his tummy really hurt right now.

He gritted his teeth against the pain and asked God for help. Please. Because it hurt really bad. Soon, the pain lessoned and Bobby looked around.

Funny. Not in a haha funny way though. Everything was white. It almost hurt his eyes. Usually he had lots of neat things to look at when he dreamed.

What was this place?

His eyes opened wide as a figure in the distance moved closer and closer. It was an angel. He saw the neat wings and the way he almost seemed to glow now.

He had dreamed of angels lots of times before. But something was different this time. Special.

The figure closed the distance quickly and Bobby knew who it was: His special friend, Jalmari. He smiled up in the angel’s direction. Even in his dreams it was hard to look people in the eyes. And, an angel still counted.

“Little one.” The angel grinned gently at him and then bent and dropped to sit beside him. His wings fluttered behind them both.

“This dream?” It didn’t feel like one, but he wanted to make sure. And he knew the angel would tell him.

“No, little one. This is not a dream.” He paused and before Bobby could ask his next question he chuckled. It sounded nice. “Before you ask, this is not real either.”

“What is this?” Bobby looked around again, not understanding.

“This is a special place for you to visit, an in between place.”

“What in between place?” That sounded important. Kind of.

“Little one, a person tried to hurt you. While your body heals, you cannot dream, so you are here. Soon you will dream again.” The angel smiled again.

“Bad guy hurt Bobby?” He thought the bad guys should just stop it for a while.

“Yes, little one.”

“Why?” Why did the bad things and bad guys want to hurt him? Why couldn’t they leave him alone?

As if he listened to Bobby’s thoughts, Jalmari spoke gently.

“You are a special child, Bobby. The Lord expects much from you. You are a part of His plan. And the evil in your world knows it. They wish to stop you.” He looked at Bobby with a small grin. “You are chosen, child.”

“Bobby? Why?” That really was funny. He smiled. He was just a boy.

“You are truly innocent, little one. And you have great faith. Both are important. But you have a gift. You are able to use your special words. Few men speak them. But you breath them. You live them.” The angel stopped speaking and leaned forward to meet Bobby’s eyes. He smiled when Bobby met the gaze.

“They are a part of you. The words unlock God’s protection. And that scares the evil in your world.” The angelic being paused. “Anyone can pray and God will listen. The words are a special link. Because you also are innocent and truly faithful, the words unlock powerful protection. They are very old words. And very special.”

Bobby looked at the angel and his mouth hung open. He just liked the special words. And he liked using them, talking to God with them. He just really liked them. He thought he kind of knew what the angel told him, already. Deep down, the words were always a part of him.

He liked that things made so much more sense in this in between place. In the real world it was hard to understand everything. There was always too much that he had to look at, feel, smell: It was really hard. But here, it wasn’t. He really liked it here.

“No, little one, you may not stay here.” The angel understood what he was thinking again. Bobby grinned. “Already, it is time for you to start dreaming.”

Jalmari gripped his shoulder and Bobby looked up at him.

“Know that God is always with you, child. Just as your angels always watch over you. You are always protected.” His eyes flashed. “No matter what happens, remember that you are always close to God. Close to Heaven itself, little one.”

Bobby nodded.

“Bad guys or bad things¼God always there? And angels too, and Jalmari?” Bobby watched him closely.

“No matter where you are, or if there is evil close to you, yes¼little one. I will be there, and your angels and God will be close by to protect you.” The big angel grinned again. “Now sleep. And dream.”

And Bobby did.

**************************************************

Jalmari stood back behind the veil. The child was very special indeed. All of heaven was watching to see the role he would play in the coming battle.

Both he and his sister would be tested. He was just beginning to learn their purpose, together, in this battle.

The hunters and the pastor were to save them both. Together, they all would need to stop this battle from leading to the end.

The innocent and his protector.

The hunters.

The holy man.

They all had a part to play: Roles of honour and sacrifice.

The stage was set, the parts all assigned. And the audience in heaven and hell watched, waiting for the curtain to open.
