Prologue
I could hear the intercom ring.
"Flight number 15 is departing in 15 minutes."
I look down at my hand, Flight number 16. I begin to wonder to myself.
'Where am I?'
"Would you like anything, sir?"
I look up and see a young a girl.
"No, not really," I pause, "Well, I do want to know, where are we?"
"Good question," the girl said, "The easiest thing I can say would be you are in the plane between Life and Death."
"It's an airport?"
"Well..." she paused," you see, the reason why it is an airport is due to your own psyche."
I tilt my head in confusion.
"I mean, if someone else were here, they might see a train, a horse carriage, or maybe even a donkey. Understand what I am saying?
I nod.
"You could say I am your guardian angel, Jessica."
"Funny, a flight attendant as my guardian angel."
"Not my fault you like to fly."
"Cheeky."
"Anyways, meet me in Office 8-93, if you don't mind?
I nod once more.
"I will see you there in a minute then, Mr. Potter."
"To be honest, I figured an office that belongs to an angel would be all white." I said
"You expect us to keep our jobs boring, Mr. Potter?"
"No, not really, but then again, shouldn't it be conforming to what I see as the plane between Life and Death?"
"No, it adapts our existence to yours, not conforming to it."
"Now, to the matter at hand." She slides a folder towards me after I took a seat. "Do you regret what has happened in your life?"
I open my mouth to speak, but no words come out.
"I assume your answer is yes, after all, who wouldn't regret having their lover murdered for being with you?"
I nod slowly with a little sweat flowing down on the left side of my head. I grew anxious, the memory of her tender smiles. The only time I saw her smile was when I was the only one looking.
"Well, Destiny seems to favor you, Mr. Potter." She smiles. "Destiny wants to ask you to rid the world of your enemy."
"But, I am already dead."
"I know, Mr. Potter. " For some reason, I begin to think I am a seeing a Cheshire Smile on her. "Which is why, we are sending you back to a time before he returns."
My eyes open widely, returning to past. Then I could...
"I see you found one of the implications this could bring." Her smile definitely resembles a Cheshire Cat. "Destiny is allowing you to save the one person you want most-"
My heart begins to pump. Her smiles, her golden blonde hair, and her blue colored eyes that reflects light like a cut sapphire gem. Her name is...
"-Daphne Greengrass."
