so i've decided to post up the next chapter to make things a little more entertaining so that you guys wont be bored out of your minds with the first chapter XD
remember, this wont continue unless i get feedback!

The next few days, I continued to observe her. She was rather interesting for a human, not like any of the others I have had to protect. The usual people I was assigned to usually have many problems in their lives. But this girl was very ordinary, and each day, I wondered what was going to happen to her that put her life in danger.

Over these last few days, I had learned that she was a very caring and kind person. She visited a homeless shelter every other day and would drop off some food and some clothing to the shelter. She would always greet the people around her and it seemed to make the others in a better mood. She was selfless and understanding towards people and she was never afraid to help someone in need.

This confused me in so many ways. First of all, she did not put herself first. She put others first before herself. Second of all, it seemed like she did not know how to say "no" to others. I mean, it was very interesting to me that she had this sort of personality and it made me very curious to get to know her better. But she needed to learn how to take care of herself sometimes.

I picked up some of her interests as well. Once, she had brought home a rabbit which I had assumed was her friend. I overheard their conversation about the watching the latest "chick flick". She liked to go shopping for clothes, and I would see her come home with numerous bags filled with clothes. She enjoyed dancing to music. I would see her dancing in her home, the curtains wide open. She hollered the lyrics to the song extremely out of tune. I found her to be quite an entertainer.

Deciding that I had had enough of watching her and not actually talking to her, I jumped off of the building and right in front of her building. I had watched her gone out to the corner store, so she was not at home, where I would wait for her arrival.

The second step for me was confrontation. I had to tell her who I was and why I was with her. At this point, I would be with her at all times, protecting her. We guardians did not keep any secrets between the mortal and us. We wanted the relationship to be as open as possible.

I entered her apartment and shook my head when I opened the door. She had left it unlocked, making her vulnerable. I entered her warm home and looked around. The walls were soft cream colour. The couches were orange and the wooden floor was so shiny, that it looked like it was wet. A medium sized television was in the corner and the window was large and the light lit up the entire room. The glass-top table in the middle of the room had some magazines and a large vase with white roses in the vase. I took my time to explore the rest of the apartment, taking in every detail.

I had saved her bedroom for last. I slowly opened the room and wrinkled my nose when I smelled all of the mixed scents of perfumes and other products. The room was a lavender color and the queen sized bed was completely white. Her dresser was white and the small counter beside her bed was also white. A tall mirror stood beside her closet and I made my way toward it. I reached for the handle, when I slightly jumped at the sound of the door opening.

I poked my head out of her bedroom and saw her make her way to the kitchen to put away her groceries. I quietly made my way to the living room. As I stood there, I heard her hum to herself as she I heard the sounds of cupboards opening and closing. I heard her pour something into a plate and she exited the kitchen.

She saw me in her living room and threw her plate up in the air, her potato chips scattering all along the floor. Her widened eyes turned into a frown.

"It's you!" she exclaimed angrily. I frowned at her.

"You've been following me around, haven't you?" she said as she approached me before I even had the chance to speak. She poked me in the chest and I caught her hand with mine.

"Do not touch me" I hissed through my teeth. I looked into her eyes and saw no fear in them. Just anger.

"Then don't barge into other people's homes!" she hissed back. I let go of her hand.

"You are Amelia Rose, correct?" I asked her.

Her eyes widened in shock and her mouth opened slightly.

"H-How do you…" she babbled.

I bowed on one knee before her, but felt foolish for doing so. "Amelia, my name is Shadow. I am your guardian" I told her.

She just stared at me, like I had just spoken in another language to her. A small smile appeared across her face and I looked at her confused. "Look, I don't know what drug you're on right now, but I have nothing here that you want" she said as she folded her arms across her chest. I smacked my forehead with my hand.

"I'm not on drugs you fool! I am here to protect you!" I said as I got up to meet her at an eye level.

"Protect me from what?" she exclaimed

"Amelia-"

"Don't call me that!" she snapped

"That is your name, isn't it?" I told her

"Well, yes, but I don't like it!" she said as she clenched her fists

"Then what do you want me to call you then, Amelia?" I slurred her name which annoyed her even more

"Just call me Amy" she finally said, calmly

"Alright then…Amy. I am an Elite Guardian. My job is to protect people who are in grave danger. I get assigned to someone whose life is at risk in the future, and I have to protect them" I started off. It looked like some of this was starting to sink into her tiny brain.

"I have been assigned to you. I am here to protect you from any harm that will come your way" I said. She opened up her mouth to say something but I put my hand up to stop her.

"Now, don't ask me what it is that I have to protect you from, because I don't know that myself" I said quickly and she closed her mouth.

"So…let me get this straight" she said as she put her hands on her hips. "You have to protect me, no matter what?" she asked me.

"Correct…?" I told her.

She then walked past me and stood in front of the window. "So if I jumped out of this window, you would catch me?" she then asked me.

"You wouldn't dare…" I said as I narrowed my eyes at her.

She opened up the window and swung her feet off the ledge. She looked back at me, smirking. She obviously had no common sense either.

"Amy, get back in here" I told her sternly

"See you at the bottom" she said and before I knew it, she jumped off.

I panicked and quickly teleported to the bottom of the building. I looked up and saw her hanging from the ledge.

"So you really are my guardian!" she called from up there.

I groaned. "Amy, just jump down" I called out to her.

"Umm…did I mention I was afraid of heights?" she called back nervously.

"I won't drop you" I called as I reached up my arms.

"Promise?"

"I promise"

"Do you pinkie promise?"

By now, people were starting to stop by and look up at Amy. They were mumbling things like "lunatic" and others asked if this was a suicide attempt. I felt my cheeks go red from the embarrassment.

"Just jump down, Amy!"

And with that, she let go of the ledge and I gently caught her in my arms. People around me started to cheer and applauded. She looked up at me and smiled.

"No wonder I was assigned to you…" I muttered under my breath as I walked into the building.

"What was that supposed to mean?" yelled Amy as she pouted.

At that moment, I had a sudden impulse to hold her tight. I shook off the feeling, confused why it came in the first place. We returned to her apartment and I put her down.

"So, are you like, my guardian angel or something?" she asked me

"Not exactly. I am only protecting you from the certain event that will cause you harm. When it happens, I will be notified by my master" I told her.

"What's your master like?" she asked me

"He's very wise and old. He has many powers and he gave some powers to me" I said as I took a seat on the couch.

"What kinds of powers do you have?" she asked me as she took a seat on the floor in front of me.

I raised my eyebrows at her. She sat cross-legged and her sparkling emerald orbs were just filled with curiosity. I chuckled at her childish appearance.

"Well, I have super speed and I can teleport to any place I want" I told her

"Could we go somewhere?" she asked me as her eyes twinkled with excitement.

"Maybe some other day" I said as I gave her a small smile

"Okay…will you be staying here with me?" she asked and couldn't help but feel confused at the slight anxiety in her voice

"Yes" I told her

She giggled to herself. "Oh boy, oh boy! This is going to be so much fun!" she squealed in excitement.

"How will this be 'fun'?" I asked her

"Well, I've been really lonely lately and I've always wanted to have a roommate or a something" she said as her ears dropped slightly. "But now that you're here, it'll make the home a little more lively!" she said and her ears perked right up along with her smile.

I just looked at her. Was that why she always went out and helped others? Because she didn't like being alone? I could sort of relate to her because I too at times felt lonely. I snapped back out of my thoughts when I felt a hand shaking my leg.

"Hey, hey! Let's play 20 questions!" said Amy with much enthusiasm.

Great…I thought to myself.
