Just then the Priest came into the church. He was saying prayers and the people repeated what he was saying. Tabitha was able to catch on quickly. She didn’t want to seem out of place.
The service seemed to be long and boring. She almost fell asleep at a few points but she was able to keep herself awake long enough. But they were speaking in Latin as well and she didn’t understand a word that they were saying.
“I should have paid more attention in Sunday school,” thought Tabitha to herself. “But this should get me closer to the Lord.”
But then she began to feel the earth shake. She thought it was in her head at first but then she saw everyone begin to panic. She felt her arm get grabbed by Harold.
“Get down if you want to live,” said Harold.
Tabitha then quickly got down to the ground and she covered herself. She could hear others screaming in terror. She felt helpless since her powers could do nothing to stop an earthquake.
When it stopped some people began to come out of hiding. They gave out a sigh of relief although a few of them had minor injuries. Thankfully the earthquake wasn’t that powerful. But they were still thnakful.
