You're the closest to heaven that I'll [b]ever[/b] be.
And I don't wanna go home right now.<

At one time His love filled me, consumed me, and I knew that His way was the only way. I spend my life watching over the inhabitance of the world, devoting every ounce of my being to serving Him, and loving the creatures that He had created in His image. And for a while all was well. From the clouds I could see the beauty of the world. The sunrises, the way the waves lapped against the white beaches while couples strolled hand in hand. Fields of flowers blooming in spring time, vast orange forests that rustled and sang in the gentle fall breezes.

I wished to learn more, wished to feel what it was like to live among them, but never took it upon myself to outright ask Him if I could become one of the elite. To be a Guardian was the highest of honors, and while it was my dream to become one of them I did not press, nor did I worry. If it was in His plans for me to be a Guardian, I would be one. If not, I would be content in knowing that I was serving him in the best way possible.

And one day my time had come. I was summoned before him and told of my new title. I was to leave my loftily perch in favor of living among those in the world below. I was to protect and give aid to them whenever possible. My heart sang with joy that overflowed in the form of glistening tears that rolled down my cheeks as I took flight into the star-lit sky. My wings carried me to the ground below, feet lightly traversing on the sand of the Delphi beach as my eyes took in the sight of the world for the first time in the way that its inhabitance view it. I was awestruck. I fell in love with the world all over again, and spent my first few days on it simply basking in the wonder of His creation.

Things, however, did not remain beautiful for long. Soon I began to see the evil there was in the world, the corruption that had slowly, throughout the centuries, begun to spread until the world was at a point where His values were lost on most. At first I was confused at the amount of violence I saw, at how much hatred and spite there was in the world. I suppose then was when the first seeds of doubt took hold on my soul. I wondered why my Master wouldn’t fix the world, then I wondered if he even could. The evils of the world haunted me as I fought to help those in need. From the starving children on the street corners, to those who fought for their lives in wars, I tried to be a comforting presence to as many as was possible.

Just when I was losing my faith, he came into my life. His name was Michael, and in the darkness of the world, he appeared to be the one bright spot. Even without divine intervention, he sought to help those who were in need. I was transfixed. Out of all the selfishness I had seen, it was shocking to see someone so selfless, someone so void of greed that he would give his last morsel of food to another, even if it meant him going hungry.

And so I broke one of the first rules that had been laid out before me. I made myself visible to his eyes, and while I still appeared other worldly in a sense, my wings were the one thing that remained concealed. I sought him out, struck up conversation, and was delighted to find that he was just as friendly as I had found him to be in my observations. In-between my duties, I would seek him out, no matter the hour, and there were times that I scolded myself for seeming so obsessed. This wasn’t a female, someone I had a right to have feelings for, but rather someone of the same gender. Someone who, theoretically, could lead me away from my path were I to let my feelings for him run rampant. But when he looked at me, eyes twinkling and lips twisting into a sweet smile, I couldn’t help but melt.

I grew to love him, but couldn’t find it in me to believe this was wrong. I told myself that, in a world so dark, no love could be considered wrong in the eyes of God. I allowed myself the luxury of friendship, of love, until it came to a point where I forced myself to stop my feelings where they stood. Not for my sake, but for his. There wasn’t any way of knowing if he felt the same way, and I refused to ruin our friendship over something so silly on my part. Also, there were those of my kind, and his, who would frown upon our relationship. While most angels were accepting of these sort of relationships, loving those who participated in them all the same, others found themselves disgusted when they heard of same sex relationships.

I expected our friendship to continue. I, however, did not expect him to question my sudden change in attitude. I did not expect his eyes to lock onto mine inquisitively, late one night while as we watched the stars light the swarthy sky. I was unprepared for the hurt that filled them when he asked what he had done wrong. Pain constricted my heart as I simply murmured soft, reassuring words. I told him he had done nothing wrong, that he was just imagining things. “I thought you felt the same. I thought you…” He broke off, leaving me staring at him intently as he searched for his next set of words. “I thought you loved me.” It took a while for those words to sink in, and while they were exactly what I had longed to hear, they terrified me as well. In order to choose him I would have to abandon all that I knew in favor of him. The prospect seemed daunting. Gathering up my strength, I nudged his cheek with my nose, causing him to look back to me with a look of surprise. “I believe I’ve always loved you.”

The next morning brought bliss as I was awaken by the gentle caress of the sun. Feeling the warmth of his body next to mine, I found myself smiling in spite of what I had to do that day. Carefully I removed myself from my place of rest and took flight. I wanted to make the rounds one last time before I traded in my wings for a life of mortality. My eyes closed as I allowed myself to sail on the thermals that were created by the heat of the sun. I was so lost in my thoughts and momentary jubilance that I failed to notice the dark shadows that were cast overhead. I was hit viciously, and found myself plummeting to the ground, unable to regain altitude. The last thing I recalled was the sound of flapping wings, before my skull collided with the soil.

I awoke to a world of acute pain. I tried to flex my wings, only to have a sharp pang shoot through my body. They were obviously broken, not to mention bound by some sort of chain that ensured that I wouldn’t be flying any time soon. I looked around, trying to make sense of it all, only to find that I was lying in a significantly sized pool of blood. I struggled to stand, ignoring my various injuries and attempting to find Michael. I didn’t care about myself at that point, just him. I found my love laying not too far away, eyes glazed over in a way that told of his fate instantly. “Is this… punishment?” I whispered, voice cracking as tears threatened to spill down my cheeks.

A soft voice suddenly slithered its way into my ears, causing my skull to snap around, searching for the source of it. “Of course. What would you expect from Him? To just allow you to leave his army? This is your punishment for loving another more than Him.” I turned, stare burning into the eyes of the human that stood in the shadows of a large oak. She was thin, with skin as pale as cream, and possessed raven black hair that framed her features in a manner that caused her ice blue eyes to stand out all the more. “He did this? And who in Heaven’s name are you?” I questioned, allowing tears to openly run from my eyes. The lie slid off of her tongue effortlessly. “Of course. Who else? As for my name, you can call me Lucy.”

Turning my gaze skyward, I tried to fathom how He could do this to His children. My thoughts were sluggish, like syrup that had sat in the cold, and I couldn’t even begin to process the extent of what had just happened. “What am I going to do?” Though this was a question more to myself than anyone else, the woman happily answered me. “About all you can do. Follow me. There’s more of your kind that He has betrayed.” Turning away from me, she beckoned with a single flick of her hand. I nodded, slipping silently after her, not bothering to compose myself enough to stop the sobs that racked my body. I cast a look over my shoulder, catching one last glimpse of Michael’s body and completely missing as moonlight spilled across the faint remnants of wings upon the woman’s back.
