A/N: I was once Midnight Moonstar but I changed my name.Okay this is my first fan fiction so please be nice to me! This chapter is in John's POV, I'm not a very good writer but give it a try anyway.
This chapter wasn't beta read so it might have a few errors.
Yea my first day of preschool, I wonder what it'll be like?
"John sweetie, we're here," my mommy said. She bent down to my height and with tears in her eyes she said," be a good boy for mommy." With that she opened the door.
We walked in to the classroom and nice lady greeted us. "Hello my name is Miss Ani" she said. All in time span of a second she turned into monster with long white hair with rotting flesh and eyes glowing red.
I clung to my mommy's leg. The thing looked down at me, and for a second you could see hate in her eyes. She quickly blinked it away and bent down and said," Who is this?"
I screamed into her leg. "Mommy, don't make me go in there", I cried.
"John baby, what's the matter?" She asked," He must be nervous" she directed toward the teacher. "Nu-uh!" I screamed," She's a monster!" I began to cry into my mommy pant leg. She bent down and picked me up. "Maybe your not ready for this," she said.
She turned and walked away with me in her arms.
I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as their falling tell a story
"Don't worry sweetie you don't have to go to preschool today" my mommy said soothingly.
We walked like this all the way to the car. The ride back home was silent except for my sniffling every once in awhile.
We finally arrived at my house. She unbuckled my car seat and helped me out.
My father spotted us as we walked into the house. "Why isn't he at preschool?" He asked. "He's scared," she answered," I'll take him in a few days."
"Jesus Christ, Mary he will never learn to get along in this world if we don't make him do things he doesn't want to do."
"Not now Peter, we'll talk about this later. You're late for work anyway."
"This conversation is not over"
"It's time for John's midday nap!" she said as though that would end the conversation, and walked away.
I yawned tiredly as she laid me down for my nap.
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
I wonder what that thing was
"There you go honey" my mommy said as she pulled the covers up to my chin.
I slowly drifted off to sleep.
I was walking down a long hallway and mommy was holding my hand." Are you ready" she asked. "No" I answered.
"To bad" and she pushed me into a black abyss and it felt like I was falling forever………………
I landed in what looked like a field, and sitting right next to me was a women with long feathery wings folded behind her. She was dressed in long wispy white dress, her long golden hair flowing over her shoulders, her beautiful blue eyes have glints of gold in them.
"Don't be afraid John Constantine", she said," They can't harm you."
"W-who are you" I asked shakily
"I am Aanaya your guardian angel….. I'm here to help you."
"Why?"
"It's a gift John I'm here to help you with it"
"What!"
"You will see in time." She said as everything slowly faded into darkness….
"John baby, time to wake up", my mommy said.
Don't say I'm out of touch
With this ramped chaos- Your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I've built my own world to escape
. :A few days later:.
"Okay baby, we got you changed to a different class so you won't be seeing that mean lady again" mommy said to me as she led me back up those treacherous stairs to the building. "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't make go back in there, please!"
"Oh sweet heart you won't see her again, I promise"
"Okay, I'll try"
We walked up to a different class room. This time the door opened before we got there. A man that had wings like the angel in my dream; "hello my name is Mr. Gabriel", he looked down," you must be John."
"Y-yes" I stammered.
Out of no where I heard a voice in my head "don't fear me I'm here to help also."
Mommy jerked me out of my revere "honey me and Mr. Gabriel would like to talk why don't you go play" she said
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
I was in the sand box with my new friend Becky. "Jown look what I made!"
I faintly heard her say but I wasn't paying attention to her. I was watching the monster across the playground. It was her, the one my mom said I would never again.
My vision swirled. Blinding pain.
"Hello John" said Aanaya. Her wings were spread as though she were about to take flight; the wind whipping her white dress all around her.
"How have you been John" she asked casually.
"That monster won't leave me alone" I answered hoping she'd help me
"Don't worry she won't hurt you, she can't."
"She looks like she wants to kill me"
"You'll get used to it……well John it is time for me to go. See you tonight." She said as she slowly disappeared.
I slowly returned to conscience.
"You okay kiddo" said Mr. Gabriel the gold glint in his eye twinkling with concern.
"My head hurts"
"I'll say you took a nasty fall, come on I'll take you to the nurse"
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Can not cease for fear of silent night
Oh how I long for my deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
A/N: I'm such a sad and pathetic writer! Review, Review, Review! And FYI John is about 2 ½ or 3..
Love always,

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters-Norman Maclean (A River Runs Through it)
