This chapter is from Alice's PoV. Thank you and please give reviews on how well I'm doing.


Earth

******Beginning of Recap Intro

"I am a guardian angel dear."

"…like God and the Bible?"

"Yes, God created me and I was sent here to guide you and protect you."

***Genesis

"You've been watching me and you, an angel, didn't help my parents stay together or my mom's ALS?"

"YOU DIDN'T HELP ME AT ALL!"

"…please realize I wasn't allowed to interfere in family business and even if I did…"

***Water

"Alice, you want to be as far away from Icarus as possible then I'll help…You hate him for a reason and I'll remind you why… Now do you see why I'm doing this Alice, Heaven is harsh and cruel just like His creations."

"I-I couldn't just because of Icarus, and what about my mother?"

"If you wish, she can come too."

"No!"

"Well if you won't go by yourself then I'll have to give the command."

"This is it, my life is over and my mother will waste away all alone."

******End of Recap Intro.

I looked through the pages of the book Icarus had given to me before I left the infirmary on board the Eden. It was a fantastic place out there in space surrounded by angels. An angel, apparently a friend of Icarus, June explained something's like why and how the spaceship was created for angels, and most importantly when. Angels were given a book sort of like a journal in which they wright major events or what they think really matter to them or God. That book is infinite and will never be full until an angel completes their unknown mission from God. Those that haven't completed their mission and book are restricted from just going back in forth to earth and back to Heaven. At first they could go as they pleased under God's watchful eye but after Lucifer rebelled with his followers all that changed.

After that long explanation she continued with answering my train of questions. I finally asked her when I was going home. She was sad and yet looked beautiful at the same time when she answered with a simple "You're not." I freaked after that thinking they were actually kidnapping me. Then she told they had orders from Him to give me the option to stay on the Eden or go to a cabin back on earth in Wyoming. I took the cabin considering that Earth may be the only thing normal left in my life. June told me that undercover angels would give my mother care 24/7. It gave me comfort I guess. She told me that were trying to keep me safe from demons and William, but deep down I knew were trying to study what was wrong with me.

The Eden had technology at her disposal than anything on earth probably, including a vast medical database with details of every disease in existence. Only they couldn't find anything wrong with me. They were ready to release me when June's twin, Jo-el, spoke up from the corridor leading into the infirmary. "She's been walking around ship when we are asleep or not paying attention. Alice is studying this ship; I've seen her zone out around some of the technology in corridors. You all would hate to admit it but something's wrong with her." And with that I'm here in Wyoming reading a book describing the civilization of the Lanteans. They were apparently a bunch of Greeks who were offered advanced machines if they stopped believing in their gods and took Satan as a god over all them. God then wiped them out after they began building an immense naval fleet capable of taking over the Mediterranean. Pretty farfetched is what I would have said a month ago.

I look at my watch, only two o'clock. I was waiting for June to show up and entertain me with games and stories of what was happening in the world. Then there was a knock at the door. I jumped up and turned the knob to see Icarus standing there in his white angel outfit. "I'm sorry if I haven't seen lately;" he said "I've been busy trying to find William." I could the sad, dark crescents under his eyes. He obviously had been awake for at least a week.

"It's okay, come in." I watched him hand me a box wrapped in silver paper. I looked from it to him confused. "What's this?"

"A present for being out here alone without anyone," he looks passed me at the couch that probably looked really nice right now. "I should really go now."

No, I'm not going to risk the fact that if he does find William that he could end up like me. "Wait! Please stay a while." I realize just how begging and childish that sounded. Well whatever makes him stay I guess. "We haven't talked in a while and you really should rest."

"I could stay for a minute or two I guess." Icarus passed me to the couch and flops down onto it exhausted. I pull a chair up to sit next to him and see he's asleep already. I push some hair out of his face and admire the beauty of God's creation. Oops. Forgot about that present he gave me. Then something catches my attention. The silver ring and cross he wears all the time. I reach for it without thinking, removing the ring from his finger and then the cross from his neck. Suddenly all my will to control my body goes away and I'm sliding the ring on. Then my vision goes black and then nothing.

"It's time!"
