“This is crazy, Jubes!” Penelope threw her hands in the air helplessly.”What are we going to do?”
Juliana shook her head and quietly thought to herself, Gosh! If she had known that they were going to die so soon… but her thoughts were interrupted by another expected entry of someone.
A bright white light emerged through the wall and as the light dimmed a little, they realized that it was a simple looking lady engulfed in white light. Was she a ghost?
“Fear not,” said the ghost-like entity.”I’m here to help you.”
“Are you a demon?” Penelope wanted to know.
“My name is Chastity Mary Jane and I’m the Angel of Chastity. You can just call me Jane.” The angel floated closer to them. They backed away in fear, not knowing what to expect.
“Erm J-Jane?” stuttered Penelope, “If you’re an angel, will you help us get out of this mess? We’d like to get back to our dimension.”
“Yeah, we don’t think we’re cut out for this sort of mission,” added Juliana quickly
“I’m afraid that is not possible.” The angel took a seat where Nicolette sat earlier and motioned them to sit near her. “You’re both the chosen ones and there is no turning back.”
“And what if we don’t fulfill this mission?” asked Penelope.
“Then it is with great regret that the human race will face its end.” The angel watched the two girls sink lower in their chairs hopelessly. “But fear not, the angels from heaven will guide you on this journey.”
“But how do we get this silly pair of pants back? We don’t even know where to start,” argued Juliana.
“You must first seek Repissog, the gypsy lady. She will give you all the answers you need to know. We suspect that one of the other demons must have taken the pants but Repissog will know better. Here,” Jane pulled out two backpacks from her robes and handed it to them.”This is your survival package, courtesy of all the angels for this trip. In it you will find all the things that you will need for this journey.”
They both rummaged through their packs and found an assortment of stuff that surprised them. The survival pack looked very much like our National Day Parade backpack but even better. Haha! Ok, that was a bad joke for a time like this. In the bag, were rubber bands, a catapult, an iPad , a sword, a 300 page survival guide and some gold coins.
“A 300 page survival guide?” Juliana was stumped. No wonder the bag was so heavy.
“That was meant to pull you leg,’ chuckled Jane. “You didn’t think we angels could have a sense of humour?”
Both Penelope and Juliana glanced at each other.
“A PDF version of the survival guide is also found in your iPads. The iPad, which is the latest model with its impressive memory, is GPS connected and it’ll show you the way to where you are going,” explained Jane.”If you should get lost or should need more information, just hit the explorer icon. There is internet in this dimension too.”
“What’s this?” Penelope held up a bottle of pink liquid.
“That’s Orf,” replied Jane.”It will give you confidence and strength to face whatever dangers that lie ahead. It will also give you the knowledge and reflex to use that sword to defend yourselves. You should both drink it now.”
“We’re required to fight with bad guys?” Juliana gulped.
“Only when you are needed to.”
They were eager to get over with the whole situation fast so they did as they were told. The Orf tasted very much like Strawberry and it certainly made them feel a lot better.
Penelope waved her sword confidently like how she had seen characters do in movies.”I feel like a warrior already!”
“We’ll send help from heaven whenever we can, “promised Jane. “You must now set off for your journey.”
Reluctantly, Penelope and Juliana got up to leave. What choice did they have?
