Hi peoples! This a something that I wrote for school, so it isn't that good. Hope you enjoy it! Oh, by the way, this is in Misty's POV.
My life had ended. My step-sister, May, and I had been walking through the park on our way back home. May had timidly said, "Misty, I feel like this isn't the right way to go this time." I laughed and said, "We go this way every time we go home from school. What do you mean it isn't safe?" May just shivered, and I told her, "Look, don't worry. If anything happens, run. I'll do all I can to protect you."
As soon as the words had left my lips, a voice chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that's impossible. Looks like both of them are going down." "RUN!" I bellowed at May. "I'll try to hold them off." "Hah," the man who seemed to be the leader said. "Boys, after them!" His two other cronies took off after my sister as I engaged in combat with the the leader. A few minutes later, I heard a gunshot. I took off after the sound, only to find my sister lying in a pool of her own blood, dead.
The only feeling I had at that moment was rage. I grabbed one of the guns lying on the ground and killed the two who had caused May her death. After the second one fell, I felt something plunge through my chest. I looked back and saw the leader smirking at me. Rage had engulfed me yet again, and I pulled the knife out of me and struck him in the heart.
I looked at the man who had stabbed me. I was dying, but with my last breaths, I had killed him. I then looked up to the sky and managed to breath out, "May, I'll be with you soon. Wait for me." And my eyes closed. I heaved my final breath, and I welcomed death.
Then I woke up in a cloudy field of white marshmallows. At least I thought they were marshmallows. They were sweet and fluffy, but instead they were clouds. I stood up walking through the clouds. Suddenly it started to fade into a scene of velvet red waterfalls that seemed to be falling down then turning into red mist floating towards my nose. Awkwardly I reached out to touch the steaming red liquid. As soon as I touched it, I knew that I'd touched it before I died. "Blood," I thought. Pulling my hand away from the waterfall of blood, I suddenly remembered my sister. The thought made my hands quiver and my heart break. "May died because of me," I thought. Not knowing what to do, I started weeping. I noticed each tear dropped down like drops of blood, staining the floor red.
Before I knew it, I was somehow back into the clouds of cotton, still bawling my eyes out. I realized that I needed to figure out where I was. I strode through the cloud field, and caught sight of a giant marble building. I approached the building cautiously. When I entered, I was in the middle of what looked like a court. Along the sides were many people with pure, snow white wings. Angels. I knew at once that I was in heaven. I turned around, and discovered that I had wings too. The only difference was that mine were almost all black, only some of the outermost feathers were white. I wondered if that meant I didn't belong here.
Then, suddenly I heard a voice. It was saying, "Will Misty Waterflower please come forward?" I took a deep breath and walked into a circle of clouds. Inside the clouds, I saw May. She too, had pure white wings. She ran to me and I hugged her. I could tell May was overjoyed to see me, and I was too. We only had each other after some thug mugged and murdered our parents. A few moments later, I heard an "Ahem" and we turned around. Another angel was standing, watching us. I quickly stood up and asked, "What is it you want with us?" He chuckled and said, "It is only you I need to talk to. Why is it that even though you wings are mostly black, you remain here in Heaven?"
To this, I had absolutely no answer. He sighed and told me, "There is only one way to keep you up in Heaven, and that is if you can become a guardian angel. If you don't succeed, you will be sent to Hell for eternity." "What will happen to May?" "Your sister is good, so she shall remain here." At this, I sighed. At least May would be safe. I knew that even if she was safe, she would give everything to be with me, so I asked, "How do I become a guardian angel?"
He told me that I was to be given a person to guard, and I would stay in Heaven if the Council of Angels thought I did a good job. There were a few rules to it, though. Rule #1: Only the person you're guarding can know you're an angel. Rule #2: You must protect the person you're assigned to protect at all costs. And finally, the Black Rule: Never, fall in love with the person you're assigned to. If I broke any one of those rules, I'd go straight to Hell the next night.
After a few months, I was ready for my mission. May was put in the care of another angel, whose name I wasn't allowed to know. I said one last good-bye to her, grabbed the backpack they gave me, and walked through the portal that would take me outside of my charge's house.
I came out in the most deserted alley ever. I was wearing regular street clothes, so I went and checked my backpack. It had some money, a change of clothes, and directions to my charge's house. It said that my charge's name was Ash Ketchum. I checked the directions to my charge's house, then I then checked the street sign to see where I was. I realized that I was right next to my charge's house. I stepped out into the street and was greeted by the sight of an enormous mansion. "Great," I thought. "I'm probably guarding a spoiled rich brat." Of course, I am not going to miss judge people but looking at the grand mansion, I couldn't have thought anything else. Holding my breath I walked onto the little pathway that lead to the doorstep in the mansion of doom.
I slowly reached out to knock on the huge, polished wooden door. The door opened and before me stood a boy that was about my age. He was wearing normal clothes and a smile. I was kind of suspicious, but I asked, "Is this Ash Ketchum?" He replied," Yes, and who are you?" I smiled and said, "Hello Ash, I am Misty Waterflower, and I'm your guardian angel."
So what do you think? Review and tell me how it was, and next chapter, you get virtual cookies! I'll try updating by next Saturday, but no promises. Thank you!
