Chapter 48 – The Other Side of Right is Wrong (Ansel POV) Pt.4

"Surely the thought has cross your mind Ansel," Nova says to me, trying to not be insensitive, I suppose, "I mean she comes from that world. Also, I do not believe I've heard from someone banished from Zedwood that their air has become poisonous?"

In that very moment, the various scenarios from Faith's beliefs that my mind creates can all easily be explained.

The poisonous air?

Gas leak.

Dioxins, arsenic, mercury, benzene and a few more toxic air pollutants that are known to have health effects could explain what Faith was referring too. Yet, from what she had revealed to Kalenah, she said that everyone was wearing HAZMAT suits when leaving their home.

If one was to listen to Nova's take on coming events, based off of what Faith was saying, whatever was coming was going to be on a global level. This wouldn't be a pipe bursting or something accidentally.

Back where I started, I'm faced with the thought I never considered. Faith was a Seer. If no one had beat, tortured or brain washed her in any way to think of the world as divided by Loyalists and Independents, and that all came from Faith.

"I guess we have our answer," I say frowning and shaking my head in disbelief. "They thought she was so special," Cynthia's hateful sneer jump right to the front. "Honey, what do you mean?" Kalenah asks while Nova and Angela gazed at be puzzled.

"Why Dmitri kept Faith the way he did," I shrug, because in reality there were many things I had to take the liberty to guess to arrive to that final point. Dmitri somehow got his hands on Faith, knew what she was, assumed and believed the words of a toddler or possibly five-year-old girl.

Eventually, the world will be at war, split. The air will be deadly; there will be sanctioned policies that are to be followed.

Kalenah frowns, "you assume he listened to the description from Faith as a child?" I nod, seriously.

"Even adult Seers may not handle what they see Kalenah, or even are able to explain it to others. Can you imagine Amy or Simon seeing a world like Faith has saw? At such an age where her mind is just beginning to truly observe her surroundings?"

"And how would she know when it was happening," Nova murmurs, obviously having thought of this already.

"Exactly. Our Amy thinks a week is forever," Kalenah nods, her face twisting up in a grimace, "and all she knows is that when the snow starts falling, Christmas is soon, dates aren't exactly concrete ideas just yet," Kalenah finishes for me.

And she's right. How on earth would Faith know when her dream or vision would be coming? As far as she knew, the world was already like this. The air was poisonous and Loyalist and Independents presently existed.

Pulling out my phone I send a group message to the adult members in the counsel, asking that everyone be brought. "We do not tell anyone that Samson and Faith have left, or where they're going. We don't speak of them at all," I give my orders, planning.

My children, Courtney and the twins, along with my parents would be leaving tonight.

And I tell Angela, Nova and Kalenah such.

"Where are they going?" Angela asks me tightly, and I jump to my feet pacing my office as the members reply to my summons. Faith left and Samson ran with her and the danger, foresight came from Faith. I didn't quite know what was coming but if I had to go based on Faith and Dmitri's actions alone, though the area was not developed for our entire Den, it would be the smartest location.
