Heavenly love in the crepuscular arch

Prologue

I am God's creature. He created me out of pure goodness, honesty, compassion and love towards the ones he brought to this world first – all humans. I was there to protect them and take care of them cause beasts unlike me were hidden in the shades waiting ready to kill, to murder, to slaughter the innocents. It was my job to prevent any human life to be taken away from a man, a woman or a child. Each time they needed God's help I had come and given them my hand to defend them, take away their problems and pain. Their smile was my biggest reward as needed nothing more than to know that my duty is done perfectly. As a weapon I used a golden bow and silver arrows which torn the bodies of different demons threatening people apart. They used to shiver at the least sound of my big, feathery, white wings. Normally they were not on by back all the time. I had to change from my human form to get them to the sight of others. He saw me during that tranformation.

The light was all over me as I curled myself up. Single beams of my true glow reached his face. It started to shimmer as if it was covered with a million of diamonds. My wings appeared first. Then one beam covered my body with a short dress all in white. Small dove came down from heaven and put small crystal coming form my heart on my foreheard catching it in its small, now silver beak. I had my bow hanged across my back together with arrows. Small tear-like pieces of gold were plastered to my hands and feet in places where nails met Jesus' skin when he was crusified 2000 years ago. As soon as the transformation was over I flew away to help another innocent in trouble and left him there amused by the miracle he had witnessed a moment ago.

Yes, I am an angel.

Indeed, he is a vampire.

He calls me his love while I named him my sunshine.

My true name is Alexandra, his is Edward.

Chapter One

"Hello… hello…" all I could hear was a low hiss and a sound of someone breaking the call. It was not a first time. To be honest situations like that have taken their place few times a day, usually late in the afternoon when it was already dark, for about two months.

Well known melody sounded nicely in my ears. I opened the flap of my phone to see the face of my beloved sunshine calling. It was Edward.

"Another strange call?" he asked in a serious and sad voice. He was really anxious about me forgetting that I can handle myself as I fight with the powers of evil every single day.

"As if you hadn't known." I wanted to quit this uncomfortable theme before he would start his I-am-so-worried-about-you speech though sometimes it was highly appreciated.

Hung up. I heard in my head. Although it was more Edward's gift to read other people's minds we could stay in touch like this since we started dating and finally became a couple. It was our private way of communication. Telepathy. Another wonder - as Edward used to call it. He seemed to relate each, even the smallest amazing thing to my presence in the his and his family life.

I missed you all day long my love and I am running out of patience. Fly home or I will pick you myself up. He was so funny using those cute threats on me. Nevertheless, he knew they were perfect for I couldn't reveal either mine or his existence to the people. They believed in angels due to the fact that we were mythical creatures serving in God's name to take care of them. It was impossible and forbidden for them to know anything more. In other case we would not protect them from demons waiting to take their souls away and burn them in hell.

Patience is a virtue, Edward. I reminded him. I adored to tease with him. He was aware of that, obviously. That is why a loud growl sounded in my thoughts.

Come home, come to me. He pleaded.

I looked around carefully not to be seen. I jumped slightly on the other side of the pavement, where the small road was hidden from the sight of the innocents. I transformed there and flew high in the sky to speed into the forest for it was the place where the Cullens built their beautiful home. Now it was mine place to live, too as they fully accepted me as their sister, daughter and Edward's true and only one soulmate after he was left broken by Bella when they changed her into a vampire.

Sky was friendly today. The air currents pushed me quicker through the firmament towards Edward's opened arms. I didn't stop to use my wings to reach my destination even faster. I missed him as much as he felt my absence. That means severely.

I saw him in the porch looking at the sky. His delicate vision let him see me when I was making my flight slower and lower. The moment his caramel eyes met my silhoutte his face brightened with a huge smile and I felt overwhelmed with his need to touch my skin, to smell my scent, which was like a breeze of life to him, to kiss my lips. He loved me so much and still kept confessing his feelings to me.

I didn't even managed to touch the ground when he caught me in his arms, hode his head in my hair to breath in my smell and embraced me warmly.

Finally… I heard him whispering into my ear.
