Guardian

Chapter 1

I don't know for sure that people believe in angels but one thing for sure is that it does. Do you ever feel the presents of someone or something watching you not mortal? Not holly but not evil either but just there. Well I do. I've only laid eyes apone it once I think. It happened when I was but of ten

The night was ever still nothing outside dared to move only the toads barked out in the poring rain of the velvet night there were no stars out and no moon for the moon would not bath this night in the sky as a sin.

"Amaterasu dear its time to go to bed" my mother called to me.

"Yes mommy." I had said

I skipped down the hall and jumped onto my bed as my mother entered the room. She tucked me in and kissed my forehead.

"Good night my little angel." And with that she shut the light and closed the door. It would be the last time I saw her.

You would think, believe, you were safe in the comfort of your own cozy home, when you have a strong and brave father who had said to you every day he would move mountains just to see you, and a overly protective mother who would blow you hot soup even if your old enough to do that yourself, but how wrong was I to believe I was safe.

I had awoken to the thick threatening smell of smoke in my nose. My eyes flickered open gazing around the fog of black gas in my room.

"Mama?" I whispered getting scared

No reply.

"Mama" I cried louder

Nothing.

I jumped from my covers and ran to my bedroom door I noticed flames licked at the floor and I screamed my mothers name louder and louder till I was in tears. I had fainted to both shock and the deadly gases I sucked in.

I remembered the swift beating a flapping noise near someone had lifted me up in their warm arms and gently carrying me off to ware I didn't know at the time. I believed it was my father. I could not see or really move not even my eyelids but the patter of the rain had died down.

I was softly set down. Its arms removing me from it. I slightly gave a sob I wanted to be with my dad. I wanted to see if he was ok but when I opened my eyes the figure I had seen was too small to be my father it was my height maybe an inch or two taller it was too dark to have apone it I could only make out the shape. It stood there for a few moments staring at me before it spread its wings or so I believe they were wings and flew off till I could no longer spot it in the darkness of the night.

I new what I had just witnessed was not mortal or even human.
