Claire picks up the Video Call.
Darius- Claire you there? Talk to me.

Darius sees a bright Light coming behind Claire. Claire turns back. Claire Dad takes her hand and runs. As Darius’ phone screen glows more and more and the phone heats up, CALL CUTS. the phone falls down on the floor and Darius sits on the floor in shock. The light of the computer screen falling on his face.
8:30 PM
Sarah, in a hurry, comes into Darius' room.
Sarah - Darius the world is literally ending
She looks at her brother's face, All filled with a shock.
Sarah - Darius?
Darius - Claire......
Sarah comes toward him and slaps him to make him conscious. Darius looks up at Sarah.
Sarah - wake up Darius…..we need to leave the city, its government order, the world is ending.
Darius- why?
Sarah turns to Darius's table and picks up the ring.
Sarah - Hurry Mom and Mona are Waiting.
As Darius and Sarah come out of his house they see complete Havoc, A horde of people running in a direction, Darius looks at her mothers car and they both sits in it, As the Car moves the Beckets sees a bright light, greenish-blue with a cloud of mist and fog coming out. It gets bigger from the edge of their view. Sarah open live news
News- it's seem like this wave is trying to nearly wipe out the arga
News 2 shows people getting burned as they are engulfed by the light and then the Camera falls of and then no signal,
Sarah closes her phone and in the Havoc Beckets Car gets hit by a truck. Darius opens his eyes as he holds his consciousness. He hear the faint voice of his mom and the voice of Sarah.
Sarah - Darius……………………………………are you alright?
Mona - MOM? MOM? say something
Mrs.Becket - Yeah! I'm alright. Don't worry.
Darius- What Happened?.........Mom……..Mona why isn’t she saying something……what happened to her.
Sarah - Sis, we have to get out….she is bleeding fast.
Mona- RIght.
Darius, Sarah, and Mona come out of the flipped Car. Darius pull Mrs. Becket out of the Car, Mona looks at the wound of her mother, blood splattering out of the stomach, She tears the sleeves of her shirt and wraps and wraps it around her mother's waist to stop the bleeding.
Mona - This won't do, we need to get her to the hospital.
Darius Carries his mother on his back.
Darius- Don’t you worry mom, I’ll save you.
Sarah looks at the bright light approaching.
Sarah - OH SHIT!!!!! it's coming closer
Darius - What the hell…..
Mrs. Becket looks at the light and then her kids, the fear of death in the their eyes is absolutely visible to Mrs.Becket.
Mrs.Becket - listen Mona, you have to take Darius and Sarah with you and leave me here.
Mona - What are you saying?
Mrs.Becket - You have to protect your sibling Mona. Promise me.
Mona- Don't say that. We all gonna be fine
Mrs.Becket - No!!! listen. Mona ....in this state I’m nothing but a burden…..with me like this you all gonna die…..just leave me alone here and survive.
Darius- There is no way i'm gonna leave you here. We are going together.
Sarah - YEAH!!!! He is right…. you're mom. How can we?
Mona- Mo…….
Mrs.Becket (yells) - As I’m your mom, just for once in your life listen to me you both….. (Commanding) Mona you're mature. (request) Do the right thing.
Mona (Muffles) - I CAN'T.
Mrs.Becket - Listen Darius and Sarah, promise me you guys will always listen to your big sister, and Mona promise me you will protect them ....together you 3 can survive…..so please survive and live your life. Make me proud, that's the only thing you want the most. Right darius? and Sarah, do the most outstanding thing in whatever you do…..as long as you guys have Mona you can accomplish anything .... Right?
Mrs. Becket looks at the tears coming out of her children's eyes. She turns to Mona.
Mrs.Becket- Mona I can count on you right?
Mona (crying) - Yes.
Sarah and Darius - Nooooooo. Mom MOM.
Mona holds the hand of them both and pull them to run away from the bright light.
As Darius runs he hears the final words from his mother
Mrs. Becket - Don't cry, it'll only make it harder for me to say goodbye.
Darius looks back .
Mrs. Becket - I'll always be with you all.
He sees his mother getting burned and absorbed by the bright light, having a smile on her face, A smile that shows the satisfaction of the safety of those precious to her, and a guilt, that it's the last time she sees them.
Beckets runs in opposite direction of the light.
As they reach far away, the light stops its movement.
9:00 PM
Sarah, On the side of the road, raises her hand in order to stop a car for help. Luckily an oldman looks at her and stops his car.
Oldman - Get in.
They all gets in the back of the Oldman's car. He drives them to the west of Ardonia.
Oldman - You all good. Is anybody hurt by something?
Sarah - No. Thank you sir. we are all ok
Oldman looks back at Darius.
4:30 AM
Oldman - Looks like the judgment day is over.
Mona - Yeah! Taking a lot of things inside of it.
Sarah looks at Darius' face, unable to process anything.
Darius (Whisper) - Why is this Happening? what could she have done to be like this.
Sarah - Mom always says that God calls those first who are good with the hearts.
Sarah and Mona mourned over their Mom's death. Darius just sits quietly, Unable to process the fact that he lost his mom. He wanted to cry, but his emotions just didn't come out.
Mona - Sarah, Darius, I promise, No matter what, I’ll protect you both.
Darius envisions her Moms memories . He thinks what has she done that she deserved this.
Graveyard, West of Ardonia city
Everyone from different-different parts of Ardonia city, summoned to distinctive graves to collectively say one last goodbyes to those they lost.
As they watch the burial ceremony, Darius and Sarah see Mark in the graveyard. Darius looks at Sarah.
Sarah - Go and see Mark. guess he had lost someone too.
Darius comes to Mark.
Darius - Mark?
Mark - Darius? I see… have you lost someone too?
Darius- yeah…(Hesitantly)…what has happened?
Mark (Screams) - I don’t know but I know one thing, that I lost my uncle and (cries)......aaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!........what the hell is happening……all I’ve ever wanted is to make my uncle proud…..now I can’t do this.
Darius- You know what my mom says: God Calls those first who are good with the hearts.
Mark- I know one thing……God enjoys giving trouble to his followers, why don’t he just leave us to have a happy life.
Darius- What are you saying…..?
Mark- It's all his fault…god is not that all good, If he is good then he would never make us suffer like this, who believed this much in good. This damage that he caused, not only just killed so many but, didn’t even let us to even bury them. These are empty graves with names to remind ourselves of the loss we suffered.
Darius - Mark once said to me, that he doesn't need someone to protect him, As his uncle once said, that God will always protect him by providing him the strength to overcome any situation. For someone who is this much into a god, watching his trust broken in the one thing that gives him strength, really makes me feel sad. But on the other hand for someone who didn’t consider some thing as God, I really can’t fully understand him. Everyone close to me died in a day and now the one who is alive really doesn’t feel like alive. If god is there, maybe he enjoys watching us facing trouble. But what worse could happen than this.
That is what I’ve thought.
