(Mrs Winter was with her six years old daughter Grace reading her a Bible story to put her to sleep)

Mom: And God made Heaven and Earth in six days, He rested the seventh day which He called the Sabbath day.

Grace: Wow..Mommy, God is so powerful, He created Heaven and Earth In six days by Himself?

Mom: But before that something happened

Grace: What!!(said excitingly)

Mom: He created Angels to serve Him you see, He created a special one with all instruments that will sing and magnify Him

Grace: Wow..Mom that's amazing, with all instruments?

Mom: Yes..The angel with all instruments was named Lucifer, God made him in charge of the Earth and in some time Lucifer growed evil in his heart

Grace: oh no!( she said sadly)

Mom: He wanted the world for himself...But do you know God perceived this evil and knew he was up to something..

Grace: hmm..

Mom: Lucifer deceived two-third of the angels in heaven and made plans for war..

Grace: Did God fight him?( asked curiously)

Mom: Yes...(immediately she was interrupted by a voice)

Dad: He fought him....( Grace's father and brother just came back from a short outting)

Grace:( jumped up from her bed and screamed while running) Daddy, daddy, daddy!!( she hugged him)

Dad: Oh my honeybun...how is your day?

Grace: Fine Dad.. except for the fact Mom didn't make me eat junk...and I like junk( said mischievously)

Mom: Grace!( she said laughing) been waiting for you guys for so long...( she hugged her husband and her son)

James( Grace's brother speaks): Bet you are broccoli all day Grace..( said laughing)

Grace:( squeezed her face) You!!( she chased him..)

Mom: sometimes I wonder if they're any different...

Dad: They are...James is ten years old... there's a four year difference Hun..

Mom: But he plays... like her..so much...

Dad: Because she's his little sis...so he has to make her happy...

Mom: Right... I'm happy you're back home safe....with all that has been happening...I started becoming scared...when I didn't see you...

Dad: You believe in God right, so why all the fear...trust God Hun, you know I'll always be safe...

Mom: yeah I know...

Dad: as a matter of fact this guy is as hungry as hell...

Mom: I'm sorry... there's food...just Freshen up... I'll warm your food..in a bit..

Dad: alright ( he went to freshen up)

( the kids kept playing until their Mom stopped them...)

Mom: James go freshen up...

James: Okay mom..

( after a while...they both came down and had dinner , they chatted for so long and finally they slept off)

( The next day...Next day the kids went to school and their parents...went to work... while I'm school....a wildfire... immediately surged up and the building started collapsing.., Grace in her class room with her mates)

Grace: You know I've always dreamt of me being the world best karate fighter in the world...

John: she has such tiny body and she wants to be the best...( mocks her and laughs)

Sylvia: she can be who she wants to be... it's her choice here....at least she has plans for the future...do you?

John: ( looks at her angrily, as he stood up the building started shaking....)

David: What's happening ( he said softly and scared)

Sylvia: I think the building is coming down...I don't want to die...( said shivering)...

Grace: Oh no...( she thinks)...(immediately a male teacher rushed in and told the children to start moving out gently....and the children were about 50 in the big classroom, Grace spotted a fire), That's fire sir...

Male teacher: Don't panic everyone.... I'll take you out...( he knew not all would survive)

( at this time, James and some other children has been brought out, As the man lead the children out the building kept on collapsing...and in an instant the building fell.....38 children...were out...the other 12 including Grace were in there...and the fire..started burning all the building...)

James:( ran to meet the remaining children that escaped and looked for his sister but he couldn't find her) Grace!, where's Grace...is she....?

( Mrs Winter in her office saw the news of what happened at the school....she took her keys and left...the office, she called her husband on her way and told him, In a short while, they both reached the school...)

Mom: My children ( panicked as she saw the smoke) James!!, Grace!! where are you..? ( she ran...to the field where the children were)

Mom: ( she saw James) James!, ohh( she hugged him, his Dad came there too)

James: Mom( he cries) Gracie...( he points the building)

Dad: ( he looks at him) what happened to Gracie.... where's Gracie....

James: The teachers say her and 11 other children didn't come out( he cries)

Mom: No!, No!( she was in shock)...

Dad: ( he went to meet the teachers) Where's my daughter...?( he asked with a teary eye)

answer me!( he screams)

Teacher: We are truly sorry sir...she couldn't...

Dad: she couldn't what....( he holds him) I trusted you all that's why my daughter was placed in this school, I gave you the right over her...i put her in this building..to learn and now you're telling me you couldn't...save her...

Teacher 2: this is not also easy for us sir...we never knew how it all happened...by the time we knew it the building collapsed and...she was trapped....

Dad: Right...( he leaves them)

Mom: my Gracie.... Jack( she calls her husband)

Dad: ( he hugs her and she cried...he did too)

Mom: I .... can't believe she's gone...( she kept on crying....)

James: ( hugged his Dad too)

( after a while of sorrowful emotions....they went home at night hoping their daughter would be found after the soldiers and fire extinguisher came but...she wasn't...The whole family was in pain....and after some months they packed out of town cause it reminded them of what they lost.....)

Grace was fighting for her life and then a light shinned.....

to be continued.........

(Mrs Winter in her workplace thinking her co-worker came in)

Priscilla: Kate!, Kate!

Mrs Winter:( snaps out of her thoughts) Yes?

Priscilla: What's wrong?, you haven't completed the file the manager gave you since morning...this is almost.. closing hour...

Mrs Winter: Ohh( she sighs), I...was busy that's why...

Priscilla: what's more important than the work the manager gave?

Mrs Winter: Why are you all up on me Priscilla?

Priscilla: I'm just worried about you Kate..this is unlike you..

Mrs Winter: when I get all worked up you say I'm drowning in my work, when I don't work at all you day it's unlike me..
