I looked up at the intimidating door in front of me, took several breaths to try and calm myself. It was easily fifty feet tall, made of gold and laced with intricate designs along the top.
I took another deep breath and held it in. What was I doing here? I needed to get going. The memory flashed through my mind.
"Noel, you can't just leave." Alex said, looking at me up and down. I was holding a brown satchel and was wearing my Angel uniform. Which consisted of a white pleated skirt and a white blouse.
"That's exactly what you told me to do!" I growled out, this girl was really contradicting herself... She tossed her hair over her shoulder and looked me in the eyes. We were about the same height, not to tall, not to short.
"You have to talk to the boss to get down there stupid."
I held back my panic attacked at the memory. So that's why I was here... I pushed the door open and scanned the room. It was a normal room with a fireplace and some large sofas, but everything was white. Even the flames in the fireplace.
"Noel, it's about time." Called a voice from next to me. I turned to see a women with raven hair and black eyes smiling at me. She held a scepter that was my height with feathers covering it, hiding away whatever was at the top.
"I thought you were just going to leave and never come back." She said, pouting at me. I sighed slightly, then smiled.
"I'm sorry Nevaeh. I just didn't know, and to be blunt you scare me." I said sitting down at one of the seat near the fire. Nevaeh followed me and sat next to me in a pile of feathers, her wings were long and her feathers were sharp at the tip, but completely useless when indoors. I put my wings over the back of the chair and she followed.
"So, about my human." I said, trying to get this over as quickly as possible. Nevaeh nodded and snapped her fingers. A tea tray appeared on the coffee table in front of us.
"Yes, your human..." Navaeh muttered as she helped herself to some tea. I watched as she thought this subject over, you could almost see the gears turning.
"You are already set on what you must do?" She asked. I nodded. "Very well, go. You know what you need to do." She wrapped her arms around me and I gave her back an awkward hug.
The way to get down to Earth is simple, you must walk to the edge of our world and jump. That's it. Now, people never mention how far away the edge is from us.
I took a break and leaned against an abandoned building. I had been walking for at least two hours. But the edge couldn't be seen, I stepped forward and my foot never caught anything. I fell forward and was swallowed up by darkness. Well, at least for a moment, the next moment I was falling through the sky. Clouds surrounded me and I let my wings out, sending me up and putting me at a not so dizzying speed.
I looked down, searching. The buildings underneath me were in an odd array but were strangely beautiful. It'd be hard to navigate around down there... My heart skipped a beat and tears threatened. How was I supposed to find Allen Walker?
This was not going to be easy... I landed on cobblestone, with many humans starring at me.
"Um. Hello?" I said, and all chaos broke loose. Screams rang through the air and the crowd was either running away from me, screaming "Akuma!". Or they were running towards me yelling "God has finally answered us!" I braced myself for impact but the group stopped a couple feet away from me. Watching me.
"Hello?" I asked, looking at the group. They ranged from old men and woman to babies, staring at me in disbelief. I smiled at them.
"My name is Noel and I'm here to find someone..." I said slowly... An old man stepped forward, he looked at me approvingly.
"I'm Ox, the elder of this village. Are you an angel?" he asked slowly. I opened my mouth and it closed. I tried to pry it open with my hands but it wouldn't budge.
"You can't tell anyone one you're an angel."
I sighed and looked at the man who had spoken to me. He nodded.
"I see, you're unable to answer that question. Are you from Earth?" he asked, Is shook my head. He gave a slight chuckle.
"I see, then please come with me." he started walking away from the rest of the group. I followed him and as I walked by people crossed themselves and some touched my wings. I guess this was the reaction I'll be getting from now on.
