Chapter 1
I was driving from a very long day at 's nothing special. I am working at the shopping centre near to my home town. I don't earn a fortune but it's something. That way I don't have to rely on my parents. I am twenty years old. Living with my folks and my sister. Great isn't it. I had a dream that I would go to college. I wanted to study a psychology, I would move to a big town have some sidejob to pay my rent, enjoy the student life. But all my dreams fell apart. Well , they didn't fell apart. Life stood on them. I guess I was too naive. Anyway, I was missing my sisters' birthday party. Great. It's not enough that my father hates me, now it's going to be my sister too. I am not that perfect daughter that my parents wanted me to be. I didn't get to college, I had a shitty job and was too many times in trouble with the police. OK. Most of the time it wasn't even my fault. I told that guy to leave me alone like hundred times. But he kept ignoring my requests. So there's no better way of telling him that I am not interested than punching him into his face with an ashtray. Or the other time when I was caught with a joint in my hands. It wasn't mine. I swear. I saved my younger sister by taking it from her just in time. She has a very bad taste in friends. Well at least she has some. But I am fine like that. I really am. I mean I have some friends, but I feel like I don't need them. I learnt not to trust anyone. If you don't expect anything you don't get hurt, right? This is probably the reason why I have only a few friends and that my only best friend is my dog. Maybe it's for the best. I also had a couple of boyfriends, if I can call them like that. My longest relationship lasted for four months. I never really loved any of them. I tried but I couldn't let myself too close. I don't know why I am like this, but I guess It's the way it should be.
It got dark and I had only 5 kilometers left. I could be able to catch the least two hours of the party. I turned on the radio and there was some man talking about relationship problems. ,,Awesome, that's exacly what I needed right now." I put some CD that I had in the car, on a shuffle. I love music. Music makes me feel good. I like all genres. Sometimes I prefer rock, when I am sad I'd go for some pop an sometimes I also like dance music. Green day was on. The Boulevard of broken dreams. It's weird how some songs can express exacly how you feel.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I started to sing along. I am not bad at singing. Back on highschool I was at the glee club. This didn't really help to increase my popularity among the others but I didn't care. Most of the people on highschool didn't like me. And I didn't like them. Most of them live in the same town as I do but we are just passing each other. I don't know if any of them know my name. Their bad. If they knew me. They would know that there is nothing I wouldn't do for my friends and family. I would give my life for them if nessesary. That's who I am. And I will never change.
A noise comming from the radio snapped me to reallity. It was some buzz, like when you loose a signal. But I had a CD in, so that was weird. I tried to turn it off and on but it didn't help. So I took the CD out and turned off the radio. I noticed some lightnings on the sky outside. There were no storm predictions for this evening. I looked outside again. I coudn't believe my eyes. There were hundrends of lightning objects falling from the sky. A bright, almost blinding fire was surrounding those objects. They were falling very fast. At first I thought they were a meteors but as I focused on one of the objects, it look like a human. And the strangest thing about it was that they had a wings. But the wings were on fire. I was shocked. I didn't know if it was happening or if I was dreaming. I had to stop the car or I would crash. I looked back on the road and there was someone in the middle of it. I swearved to the right so I wouldn't hit the man. I nearly crushed in to the tree. Fortunately, I wasn't going too fast because I was looking up on he sky. I stepped out of the car to check on that man. Please be alive. That was only thing I could think about. I noticed that the lightning show had stopped. Perhaps It was all in my mind. Perhaps I am finally getting crazy. My grandma once told me that I am going to end up in a mad house. Maybe she was right. Maybe what I had seen wasn't real, but I knew that the man in the middle of the road was real. I looked across the road. My eyes stopped on a dark figure. ,, Hey, are you Ok?" I called out. I crossed the road. I was a few meters away from the figure. I was scared. The man could be some murderer or a thief. It was stupid from me to come out of the car but I had to check if he was fine. I reached for my phone and turned on the flashlight. ,,Sir, are you ok? Are you hurt? Should I call an ambulance?" I pointed my flashlight at him. He had a trenchcoat. That was the first thing I had noticed. He had no visual injuries. Thank God. ,, I am really sorry I didn't see you. What were you doing in the middle of the road?"
He looked at me. His eyes were beautiful. They were blue and bright. I had never seen eyes as blue as his were. It was like he was looking right into my soul. ,,Where am I?" he asked. His voice was deep and gruff. ,,You are in California. Are you Ok?Are you lost?" He looked at the ground and back at me and said: ,,I need to find Dean and Sam." Ok. So this guy was lost and he was looking for some two other guys. My guess was that he was drunk after some really hardcore party or that he was crazy. And than there were those people on fire falling out of the sky. Too much weird stuff for a one day. ,,Have you seen the meteors?" I asked him hoping that he would say yes so I would make sure that I am not completely insane. I could have asked if he had seen the falling people but I didn't want it to sound crazier than it already did. ,,Those weren't meteors." he said. Weren't? So my theorie of fallling people on fire was right? I looked at him with a quiestion in my eyes. And he continued. ,,Those were falling angels. And it is all my fault." What? A falling angels? Ok. I thought that I was crazy but this guy was completely out of his freaking mind. And how this could be his fault? ,,What do you mean by that? There's no such thing as angels." I consisted. I never had faith in God or any supernatural creatures. Although when I was young my grandma thought me one prayer. It was a prayer to a guardian angel. I don't remember the words but I know it made me feel safe. I tried to remember the image of the falling object I had seen. I knew that I had seen a man with wings. And this other guy was saying that those were angels. I was confused but I knew what I had seen. I tried to belive but I couldn't make myself. If there were angels it means that there is Heaven and Hell. And if so, God and Devil are real. ,,This is insane!" I said. ,,Angels are not real and even if they were, why would they be falling? And how is it your fault?" His blue eyes looked into my green ones. ,,Angels are real. In fact I am an Angel of the Lord. More precisely I used to be. I should've listen to Dean." So angels are real and he used to be one. And who the hell he was talking about. I ignored all the angel stuff and asked him: ,,Who's Dean?"
,,He is my friend. Well he used to be. I failed him too many times. I should've listen to him, now the angels are here on Earth, probably confused and scared and I am-.."
,,You are what?"
,,Human..."
