BRIDGING THE PAST

MARA

Iwalk nervously through the dilapidated house, thinking about the man and the meeting he enticed me into attending. It wasn’t so much the explanation of who charged them with hunting me down and capturing me. It was only a matter of time before Samael caught up with me. But it was the familiarity I felt when we stood so close. The unique tattoos that adorn his skin brought flashes of a familiar feeling, and I wasn’t sure how to process my thoughts. It elicits conflicting emotions of anxiety and safety. Maybe this meeting will provide me with the clarity I need to figure out the reasoning.

Unable to rest, I am grateful that my hunger remains satisfied. If I had to go to this meeting feeling starved, I didn’t know how it would end. This way I can concentrate on the real issue and what I plan to do about it.

The alarm goes off and I just about jump out of my skin at the sharp noise it emits. What’s going on with me? There’s nothing to be worried about. It’s three guys. If they try anything, I’ll just turn into the she bitch and take them out. Does it really make a difference if they were handpicked by Samael? I am perfectly capable of managing them.

I swiftly change into a casual outfit - jeans and a tight tee - and slip a couple of daggers into my brown leather boots before leaving. Hopefully, this isn’t a trap and the knives will stay hidden the entire time. It’s never a bad idea to have them as a backup, just in case.

Quietly making my way around the house from the back, I cautiously examine my surroundings to ensure I go unnoticed when I leave. The path ahead is clear, but as I walk down the sidewalk towards the church, the conflict I feel continues to weigh on me. Even though my mind is urging me to go back, I feel a compelling push to keep moving forward.

The common assumption is that God wouldn’t welcome us into his place of worship because we have fallen. Their theory would be incorrect. Just because we went against our father doesn’t mean he disowned us. We remain his children, and his love for us remains unwavering. Our actions resemble those of rebellious teenagers defying their parents. They might be disappointed and there’s a good possibility that they are frustrated, but they don’t stop loving you. All one had to do was repent to be embraced once more, but how could I atone for all my sins?

Soon enough, I’m standing in front of the pristine church. Since I knew going in through the front would be a mistake, I decide to go around and enter through the rear entrance. The door hinges make a generous decision to remain silent as I sneak through.
