Chapter 33 - May And Tank's Spiritual Journeys

Alright, if you don't notice the reference in the title, it's Bill and Ted. Now that that's outta the way, I would like some of you to... you know what. I 'll save it for the end of the story.

- Tank's Journey -


The clouds above Tank's grave begin to gather and circle around it. Tank's spirit suddenly appears on top of a large cloud, and we can see that he is surrounded by angels. He begins to ask
"Where am I?"
A quiet, yet booming voice responds
"You are in Heaven, my child. Your case will be decided here in this Angelic Court."
Tank asks
"Why is it being judged? Haven't I sinned by committing suicide?"
A light, beautiful voice calls from behind him
"I brought your case in because you saved lives in the process."
The booming voice continues as Tank begins to think about this
"Our decision will be to keep you in heaven as a Watcher, or you can be Reincarnated, or we will send you to the underworld. This case will be tried tomorrow, as we will allow you to speak with your lawyer, Angelica Ferrial. She is standing behind you."
Tank knows he has heard that name before, and he looks behind him to see a beautiful angel with long, flowing blonde hair and gorgeous light blue eyes. He walks towards her and asks
"You...You brought up my case because-"
She holds her index finger to his mouth to quiet him. She finishes his sentence
"Because I know about your problems. This time, they won't have to be taken into your hands."
Tank looks into her eyes as the voice finishes
"The trial will be held tomorrow at noon. Until then..."
All of the angels except Angelica disappear and Tank is left with her on the floating cloud. Angelica begins to walk onto a seperate cloud and says to him
"Follow me, I'll take you to my favorite cloud."
Tank follows and carefully avoids falling off the clouds, but Angelica knows he can't fall off (being a spirit and all) and giggles a little. Tank thinks
"(Even her giggles remind me of May. Why didn't May tell me she had parents?)"
Angelica reaches a cloud which is hovering high over May's house. Tank realizes it too, and asks
"How are you able to watch over her?"
Angelica looks at him and answers politely
"Luckily I got a job as a watcher in Heaven. We are allowed to wacth over certain humans and prepare them for their judgement. We are even allowed to interfere....(looks around for anyone) Come closer."
Tank leans in and she whispers
"After I left May in the care of a nice old lady, She died and no one was watching over May. I pleaded my case, and he let me become her Guardian. Guardians are those who give luck to the unfortunate. I watched over May until she made friends with Eric, and then, I set her free and am simply a watcher now."
Tank sees how much she cared for May as he did, and asks
"That voice back there, he mentioned another option. What's Reincarnation?"
She answered
"Reincarnation is for those who cannot be in Heaven or...the underworld. It's when a person deserves to be sent back as an animal related to their actions or personality."
Tank gets an idea and asks expectantly
"Isn't that possible for me? I could be sent back as the dog I was born as!"
Angelica replied, smiling
"That's a wonderful idea! That is a definitely an option! I can focus our option on that if you would like.{"
Tank smiled, happy that he had a chance to go back to the way it was, but forgot about May. His face turned to a slight worried expression, and asked quietly
"Will I...remember my past life when I am reincarnated?"
Angelica's smile turned to a worried expression as well. She looked to the ground and replied
"Unfortunately, no. You can't remember any past lives. It's against the rules...but I'm sure I can think of something for you."
Tank was happy, but decided not to spoil her surprise. Angelica continued
"How about we just go to my home to discuss your case more personally. After all, the angelic court considers your past more than anything."
Tank nods, and follows her as she walks towards a large white house.



- May's Journey -


May decided to leave earlier than the others, and goes home for the night. She walks the dark streets, a little scared but not worried. After about 20 minutes of silence in the streets, she reached her home. May got into her room, and prayed
"O lord, I know I am faithful to you and your Guardians. I pray that my sleep will be a peaceful one, In your name I pray, amen."
She lays down on the bed, and doesn't bother to put her blanket over her. She cannot stop thinking about Tank and his sacrifice. Slowly she drifts to sleep.

(DREAM)

May finds herself walking through the same dark streets from earlier that night. However, it was completely dark with no streetlights. She was reallly afraid, and began to call out
"Who's there? Anyone!?"
A dark voice answers
"You remember him, don't you?"
May turns around to see Midnight standin in the abyss. May tightens up and gulps. She asks
"Wha-What are you doing in my dreams?"
Midnight assures her
"Relax. I have a proposition for you. It's in your...Best interest."
When Midnight says that, Tank comes out from the shadows as well, apparently with his mouth taped over and looking very angry. May quivers and says
"T-Tank!?"
