[[You'll, the creator of this is in and out very rarely. If you pm him, you'll can probably hop in before it is too late...]]
Faith saw that Cody fainted. She never saw such a sensitive boy in her life, or maybe it was because she stayed with such a brutal boyfriend.
She hated to see Diedre go, and hoped that she would be okay walking to Mike's house alone. At the time though, she was just worried about Cody.
Then surprisingly, her cell phone rang, and wondered who could have gotten her number.
"Hello, this is the assistant to Nicoli Carpathea. He has heard that you are cousin to Buck Williams, and would like to meet you when you got a chance."
"Buck? He is still here..." Faith thought to herself. She never got to talk to her cousin often but she knew that he wasn't too religious himself and might need to hear about it from someone. She didn't really trust Nicoli, but if Buck was around him, she was very worried about her cousin.
"Is Buck there?"
"Not at the moment, but he is coming over and would like for you to come over as well to see that you are okay..."
"Alright..." Faith got down the address, then thanked him hanging up the phone. She looked at Cody and after talking to the pastor a bit, headed out on the street, and dialed Mike's number hoping either one of them would be there...
No one picked up, so Faith left a message.
"Diedre, Mike... my cousin is in trouble... I have to go see Nicoli Carpathea but I am not to sure about him... If you get this, please come to this address and tell them you are Faith William's friend so they will let you in..." The in fear, but determination, she headed down the street.

((Okay, I'll PM the creator, but until then here is my character))
Name: Livvy
Age: 15 (16 in about a month)
Gender: Female
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Very dark brown (almost black)
Weight/Height: 98 lbs/4'7"
Other: Long, thin scar from right eyebrow down to the corner of her lips.
Running. Its all she ever seemed to do anymore. Time after time, family after family. Livvy has always been that person where you watched her carefully to make sure she didn't steal your money. Or the little girl that you never would let your children play with on the playground because she was dirty and didn't have any parents. Even the countless orphanages thought that. Livvy just wasn't the girl you wanted to be around, in fear she had some mental disease and it would rub off on you if you interacted with her. She bounced from family to family, each one having the same excuse: "Livvy just wasn't that perfect little girl we were looking for."
Livvy didn't want a family anyways. She figured that they were just there to tie you down so you couldn't fly. Well, it didn't take long before Livvy caught onto this! About a week after the last family returned her to the orphanage, she ran off. Nobody really knew where, but they sure were glad. "A trouble maker," most families would say. So, she ran into the city, never to be seen by the perfect families and snobby orphanages again.
Then yesterday, about three years after she ran from the orphanage, she was running once more, but this time from the little old man at the fruit stand. But then, something changed. Everyone disappeared. Not just disappeared, but completely vanished. Not like Livvy did from the orphanage, no. It was like they just ran away... but how could over 500 people just run away at the same time? She turned to look for the old man behind her, expecting him to be panting and slowly quitting his chase, but instead saw a pile of clothes drop onto the gravel. She walked closer to inspect it, and could see that the half-moon spectacles he wore were laid neatly next to his wedding band and gold good-luck bracelet.
As Livvy looked around in present-day time, she was horror-struck at the thousands of cars piled up on top of eachother. It seemed that after the disappearances and the unexpected tornado, people began to just lose all hope in survival. "The world is coming to an end!" Livvy heard a woman scream before diving into the pile of cars, aiming for the area that was on fire. She looked around for any sign of human life, anybody that could give her answers. Was this supposed to happen? She hasn't seen a news broadcast, let alone a television in 5 years.
She picked up her pace and started running again, this time determined not to stop running until she found someone. Someone who could give her answers. After what seemed to be an hour, she took a break and just walked around, looking for any buildings that had some form of human life. Finally, she spotted a small, white structure. She watched as a young woman run inside quickly with a boy about her age. 'Finally!' Livvy thought as she walked quickly over to the building.
She pushed open the heavy wooden doors, hoping silently they had some food after hearing her stomach groan violently. She snuck around quietly, looking for the boy and the girl, when she heard two deep voices conversing. Follwing the voices, she watched as an older man talked quietly to the same boy she saw outside. Livvy walked in timidly and sat down in one of the pews before standing up quickly after the boy fainted. She leaned next to the boy and looked up at the older man before she spoke for the first time in over a year.
"What happened? Is he going to be okay?
((Sorry its so long! I was trying not to make it as long as I did, but I was trying to fit my character in the story to where it made sense and explained her history somewhat and where she was at the time of the rapture.))

Cody slowly sat up, everything was foggy, he heard a girl talking to the pastor, but he couldnt understand what was being said.
The conversation stopped when they saw him sitting up. "What happened?" He asked, then he remembered, Sarah... she was dead. He started crying again, He felt a hand on his shoulder, He looked up and saw the pastor, there was a girl standing a few feet away. "Cody, you know Sarahs death was not your fault, are you ready to except that?" Cody hesitated, then slowley nodded. "Ok, I'd like you to come to my office, theres somthing I want you to see. Both of you" He said looking at the girl.
They both followed behind, the girl a little ways back. When they got to the office, the pastor closed the door and stuck a tape in the VCR. It was a man sitting on a desk, Cody looked closer and relized this tape had been recorded in the very room he was sitting!
The man started talking about the bible, and how it predicted that one day, Jesus would come back for his church. Cody sucked in his breath, he knew where this was going. He was right, the man started talking about people disapearing, right out of there clothes! He explained that this was called the rapture, that it was Jesus's second coming to take his church home. The man started describing exactly how Cody felt, Lost, Scared, Confused. He explained that all was not lost, that everyone left behind still had one last chance, that they could take advantage of this chance, and no matter what happened in the 7 years to come, they would end in Heaven with Jesus.
The Man also explained the the seven years to come were called the tribulation, and the last three and a half of those seven, the great tribulation. He said that there would be many judgements to follow the rapture, and that we shouldnt put off out descicion for christ to long, because we never knew what the next second would bring.
Cody looked down at his hands when the tape was done. He figured that this tape had just been made, to help convince people to "Come to Jesus". He looked up at the pastor, "Where is that guy now?"
The pastor looked straight at Cody and said, "He disapeared yesterday. Cody heard a gasp from the girl beside him...
((sorry its taking so long, just trying to get the story rolling
))

(( Thanks so much for the compliment. No, I'm not a professional. I just love writing and I roleplay over Neopets.com (don't laugh! It's a great site for roleplaying! 
) all the time. It's really helped me a lot with my writing skills. ))
Diedre looked at Mike, "What makes us so different?" she repeated, "Well, I already told you what us Christians believe happened the other day, with the disappearances. But, it's not the end for us back here, on earth. We still have a chance. The next 7 years are going to take us through grueling judgements. It's gonna get a whole lot worse.
Now, why would such a loving God put us through this? A simple explanation: To get our attention. We've ignored Him for so long. This is the last resort. This is the only way He can manage to get our attention.
God wants us to go to Heaven. Hell was not meant for people. Hell was originally created for Satan and his followers. But God is perfect. He can't allow sin into Heaven, but the Bible says we are born into sin. So, He's giving us a chance for forgiveness. If we confess Jesus as our Saviour, and believe with our heart that He died on the cross so we could be forgiven, then God will forgive us." she explained.

((OH MY GOSH! Totally not laughing! Thats where I started RPing, too! Haha thats so funny!))
Livvy fidgeted uncomfortabley in the cold, metal chair. Who was this Jesus guy they kept talking about on the t.v.? What and where in the world was this Heaven this man is speaking of?
She pulled her long, dirty hair out of her face and stuck it under the back of her shirt to keep it out of her way. She glanced at the boy next to her, who seemed to be quite emotional, and looked back at the other man before giggling. "Do boys always cry like this?" She whispered to the man. A ghost of a smile appeared on his face before quickly slipping back to the somber look.
He cleared his throat before speaking, "Young lady, do you not understand what this video is talking about? If you do not accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour, the next seven years of your life will be even worse than if you did." The boy next to her blew his nose violently into her shirt, apparantly mistaking it for a tissue. After looking up and realizing it wasn't, in fact, a tissue, his faced turned bright red before rushing out of the room. She sensed another wave of tears coming from the boy, but brushed it off. She stared at the man, angry, but confused at the same time.
"Excuse me, sir, if I do not jump immediately to this 'oh so wonderful' opportunity. If you haven't realized," she motioned down to her dirty appearance, "I haven't bathed in about a week, let alone stepped into any kind of building. I have been homeless for the past three years, believed lies that got me absolutely no where but abused and uncared for. I don't even know how to read. So, please forgive me if I do not believe right away that what you are saying of this guy, Jason or whatever, is coming back."
The man looked at her, obviously embarrassed. He squeaked out an apology before throwing his hands up in the air and rushing out of the door, also. Livvy sighed and plopped herself down once more onto the extremely uncomfortable chair, feeling tired, hungry, and for the first time in her life, lonely. She pulled her skinny legs up to her chest and leaned her head on her knees before a single tear slid down her cheek, just waiting for someone to wrap their arms around her and love her.
Too bad she didn't know what love felt like.
((Sorry my character seems so depressed! It frustrates me, too, because I am normally a very happy person. But I really wanted to show you guys what Livvy is like. I promise, she'll warm up soon! (hopefully)))
