A Short Story

Love

Once upon a time, in a land so far away no one even knew it existed, there lived a girl no older then 15 whose life was about to end. Her father had sin commited upon his soul, and he vowed by his word that he would sacrifice his daughter to pay off his sin, to the God of heaven. At that very moment the girls throat was to be slit, a rolling thunder resounded in the air. As a knock was layed upon the door of their humble home, the father answered, as was his duty. There stood the God's son, to whom the sacrifice was being made.

As he steped into the house, he looked at the girl with eyes so intoxicating that no one could look at them for more then a few seconds at most. He came unto the center of the room and shouted "My Father! She is perfect!" all at once only the Son was left in a sky full of stars. A conversation with his all-knowing father occured, until the plans were finished. Back of earth He came, no time had passed. As he took the girls hand her father threw the knife that was to kill the girl, and killed the son insted, not knowing He was the one who could take away his sin. As the son fell his emerald eyes shone with a constant glow of Love.

The girls father then snatched her back, and annouced it was her turn, he had more sin now, and must not have it on his head. Once again they were interupted by the son. As the father turned around at the noise he heard, he was shocked to see the son alive and well, when he was lying there in his own life's blood just seconds before. " When innocent blood is shed for the one's guilty, the most powerful weapon in the world is released, Love. My father has shed it down, and if you believe, you are already forgiven. Let your daughter go!" As the father kneeled down in worship, the son took the daughter and whispered words of love to her shackled soul. She was his bride forever more, and together, they led millions back to Him, the one true Father, who had all of these woebegone mortals in His plan from the beginning.
