Chapter Two

Bethany

"You have got to be kidding me!" I muttered under my breath, as my wings and halo sparkled out of sight. "They said I could have an assignment in New York!" Then the Lord's voice whispered in my ear, "Sorry, Bethany. Gabe got promoted,so he got the spot. Naturally, he needed someone to take his assignment." I sighed in frustration. Oh well. Fair's fair. He IS more experienced than me. Besides, the country's not so bad.

I heard a shocked gasp come from one of the trees. Why does this always happen? Whenever I Appear, there is always some human who senses my presence and comes to watch me. I guess it's because of my aura... It was created by the Lord to help with my duties. It is supposed to instill calm and peacefulness in all who happen to be nearby. Of course, it works strongest with the human I have been assigned to. Confused? Let me explain.

I am a Guardian Angel, created by the Lord to help troubled humans who need guidance. Sometimes they need comfort and support, other times they need advice, and I have had a few jobs back when I was a Junior Guardian, when they only needed the calm that my aura provided.

So, back to the gasp. I was a little bit worried that the human saw me appear, but I'm not worried about him being able to see my wings. The only way a human who can see them is if they loved me, and I mean truly, loved me. Of course, this is not possible, as an angel and a human could never be in love. The Lord made sure of that.
