Peeta
I smile as I watch over my human, Katniss Everdeen. Yes, I am her guardian angel, have been since she was little. Other angels think I'm crazy for falling in love with her, but I don't pay attention to them. There's always that one angel who is like me. There's been over ten thousand like me, falling in love with their humans.
"Hey man, still watching over her?" My friend and fellow angel, Gale Hawthorne asks me.
"You know it. She's just perfect." I hear him acting like he's gagging.
"Oh, and you didn't jump for joy once your wife died." He blushes. Gale is a few thousand years older than me, in medieval times he said, and is one of those who fell in love with a mortal. Once she died, he reveled himself as her protector, and she fell in love with him in a snap. Married a week later, and been together for about three or four thousand years.
"Man, born in the seventeen hundreds, and this is the one you fall for?" I punch him to shut him up. Yeah, as far as being a angel is concerned, I'm still a baby. It's not that bad though, but it would be nice if Gale would stop brining it up. For him, he's considered literally a God. He's been around longer than most angels, except the for the one we call master. No angel has ever seen master, unless your invited, of course.
"Hey man, is it me, or is she walking the wrong way?" Gale asks, worried. I turn around to see that he's right. Katniss was walking home after school, and took a wrong turn. Oh no, she's heading strait for a gang!
"I've got to do something man!" I say, about ready to fly on down when he grabs my arm.
"Dude, you do that, and you will become a fallen angel." I don't care. I will not let her die like this.
"Then I'll be a fallen one. But she is more important to me than this silly job." I look at him, expecting him to try and stop me. Instead, he embraced me in a hug.
"We'll meet again Peeta. Be careful." I nod, and fly at full speed to Earth, hoping I can stop her death in time.
As I continue the flight down to Earth, I see that the gang hears her approaching and they pull out their firearms. Oh no. Please, master, not my human. But I was too little, too late. As she rounded the corner, they all pull the triggers. She falls instantly as they run away. By the time I land, it was three seconds later. I am too late.
"No, no, no, NO! TAKE MY POWERS AWAY! SAVE HER MASTER!" I scream to the sky. Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in my back as my white wings suddenly turn a very dark shade of red. As that happens, I hear her gasp for a breath. The paramedics are roughly three minutes away. I sigh as I hide in the shadows, of course, not before I stop the bleeding. I may as well get used to it anyway. I've got a lifetime to protect her.
New story. Like it, hate it?
