Olive ignored the fact that her shoes were much too big, her shirt was way
too heavy for her, and how her brownish wings dragged behind her. Today was
the very first day of her mission, and everything would go just fine, even
if she did look a mess. Olive did look a little urchin like. Her usual
perfectly curled crimson tendrils were now in puzzling tangles at the top
of her head. The clothing she wore was again, rather heavy and wrinkled in
the oddest places. Over all, she did look like a mess. Still, the job had
to be done.
As she walked along the halls, where many of the bodies had been hanging for years, she pulled a piece of muddy paper from her Tuscan skirt and began to read through the list. "Ok, lets see.I have to go to Gaia." Immediately, the paper slipped from her fingers, and Olivia herself fell to the floor. "Hmm. Only five seconds from the house and already I'm misplacing my feet." She grumbled at her own incompetence and pushed herself from the ground. She reached for the newly ripped paper, pulling it to her chest. "I have to go to Gaia?" Olive made a face only a teenager who was not allowed to go to the midnight movies would make. "Well, fine!" She snorted and stood up. It seemed as if she were talking to absolutely nothing, rather herself. Olivia did that a lot. For many years, she sat alone in her room, away from the other angels and even farther away from the demons. She was always alone. Talking to herself prevented her sanity from playing hide and seek every so often. Still, she did seem a little over the edge, being alone did that to people. Olive ran her slender fingers over top of the coffee drenched, ripped, and wrinkled paper once again, reading through the rest. "Ok, so I get to go to the surface, that's not so bad. There will be people.living people." She winced and glanced at the burning humans that decorated the walls. "Um, and I go to see a Hitomi, by a lake.that's where I do my job" Olive licked her peachy lips, thinking over her assignment. If she failed to ruin this Hitomi's future, then destiny would banish her for good. The thought almost brought Olivia to tears. "This bites!"
