Wings of protection : prologue

Halloween is comming closer and closer and as everyone knows this is an important night for the witches between us. It’s an important night for me. Yes, I’m all of those things. A fortuneteller, a herbalexpert, a believer of the magic of stones, dreams with a meaning and desteny. In one word: a witch. One of the things we believe in are guardian angels. If I could borrow some of you’re time, I would like to tell you the story of a young girl named Zara and her guardian angel. People can change your life, but angels can change a lot more.
Blessed Be

Zara’s POV

“Hello? Anybody home?”. As usely I didn’t recieved a response. My parents work both for a big company. They’re already gone when I wake up and come home when I go to bed. I know they love me, but it’s hard for a girl of sixteen to hear from your friends that they went shopping with their mom or helped their dad with something and know that your parents don’t have the time fot that. I got upstairs, walked into my room and threw my backpack in a corner. I let myself fall onto my bed and closed my eyes. “Hard day on school?”. I opened my eyes and looked at the boy who sat on the chair infront of my desk. “Realy Kaï, you’re so lucky angels don’t have to go to highschool.”. He gave me my favorite smile. “It can’t be that hard.”he replied. I gave him my ‘you don’t know where you talking about’ look. “In that case you know how to make an assignment for history and sience and to write a story for English from two pages on the same day.”. “Actualy, I do.”. He picked up my backback and took a seat next to me. “You write your story, I’ll do the other two. It’s a good thing I can perfectly imitade your handwriting.”. I took my laptop and stared at the blank screen. How on earth I’m gonna write a fantasy story for English from two pages without inspiration? Then I looked over at Kaï and an idea struk me.All I had to do was change our names and tell how we met.

*flashback*

There were a lot of people on my grandmothers funeral. She was the one who was home when I got back from school, she cared about me, was my best friend and now she was gonne. I let my eyes slide over the people who had came to the coffeetable. I barly knew half of them. “Mom?”I asked in a weak voice. “Can I go outside for a while? I need some fresh air.”. “Ofcourse you can.”. I had to remind myself to walk and not run outside. I decided to go to the park around the corner. It was peacefull and most of all... I was alone. I let myself fall on a one of the benches and started to cry. I’m not the kind of girl who cries infront of people. I keep my tears bottled up untill I’m alone. “Are you okay?”a voice asked. My head snapped up and I saw a boy with brown hair and brown eyes laining against a tree. “I don’t know you, so what would you care?”I asked still crying. “You maybe not know me , but I know you. Your name is Zara, your 15, your favorite colour is red, you want to become a teacher and you’re crying right now because your grandmother just died and you think you’re alone on this world from now on.”. “What are you? A stalker?”. He walked closer to me and showed me the mark on his wrist. A small tatoo of angelwings. I looked into his eyes. “My grandmother told me about you. You’re an angel.”I whisperd. “Not just an angel.”he said. “I’m your guardian angel.”.

“Zara?”. I looked up from my computerscreen. “Are you okay?”. “Yeah why?”. “I’m asking you the same question for about five minutes and you didn’t respond. Like you were zoned out.”. “I was just thinking about something. What was your question?”. “I asked if your test for sience went okay?”. “Ow, it was a piece of cake.”I said before I returned to my computer.

He sat next to me. “You know a lot of me, but I still don’t know you.”I said, my voice still trembeling. “Oh right, I didn’t introduce myself.”the boy realised. “My name is Kaï, I’m just as you 15 and from now of on I will always be there if you need me.”. “No you won’t.”I shot back. “People always leave.”. “People yes, but angels not.”. “Zara?!”. I heard my mothers voice yelling. I looked back at Kaï. “Go.”he said. “But remember, I will appear when you need me even I you don’t say my name.”and then he disspeard in a soft lightflash.
Later that evening, I layed on my bed, curled up into a ball and hugging my pillow. It felt like my parents didn’t care. As soon we were back home they started to work again. Like nothing happend. “Told you I would come.”. I knew it was him. “Just leave me alone okay.”I said in a monotome voice. He walked over to my bed and sat at the foothend. “Is that realy what you want?”he asked in a soft, almost whispering voice. “Do you want to be alone and cry untill you have no more tears left?”. “No.”I replied. My cracked. I sat up and hugged my knees. He gave me a small smile before he moved closer. He placed his hand under my chin and forced me to look into his eyes. “You’re not alone in this world anymore.”he whisperd. I crashed into his arms. It felt safe, warm and in some way familiar. He pulled me closer and laid his head ontop of mine. “Please don’t leave.”I said between my sobs. “Never.”he replied.
