Megan sat in her bed staring at the feathers, she was almost afraid to touch them. "How did they get in my hair? Dreams don't come true like that" she thought knowing that she was right, but fearing that she was not. She did not know who she could turn to, Kail would just tell her that he did not know, and to ask Gabe. Gabe already gave his answer, in some way or form. And Mike, well she did not know how Mike would reply. "He is really smart Meg, you might want to ask him before you count him off your list."
Deciding that Mike might in some way give her an idea or straight answer she got up and went to find him. She found Mike sitting on the flight of stairs leading to what she hoped was freedom. He was reading, but what, she could not tell without asking him. Mike lifted his head hearing her approach and smiled at her. "It is good to see you up and moving Bon Ami" he said as he folded the page of his book and set it down next to him. "What can I do for you?'
Megan smiled, Mike was such a great guy. No matter what he was doing, important or not he would always stop and help if you needed it. "Mike, I have a question." Holding out one of the feathers to him "this appeared in a dream of mine, where it became caught in my hair. When I woke up it was still there." As she said this she stared at the feather hoping that he might have an answer. "Do you have any idea how it might have gotten there?"
Mike reached out and took the feather from her hand and stared at it. "Hum, you said this was in your dream and when you woke it was there?"
Megan only nodded.
"Then the only thing I can say is that maybe it wasn't a dream."
Megan could only stare at him "how couldn't it not have been a dream. I was asleep, hence the reason it was a dream...wasn't it?" "Uhm thanks Mike. I don't quite understand how it could not have been anything but a dream, but I am sure I can find out...some way." She smiled and hugged him and returned to her room.
When she reached her room the first thing she noticed was the fact that she had not regained all of her strength like she had thought; because at that exact moment a wave of dizziness hit causing her to fall into the wall. The loud thud which was the result of her and the wall connecting attracted the attention of both Kail and Gabe who had been talking in their room
Gabe took one look and her and raised an eyebrow "what are you doing out of bed?"
Megan just looked at him as Kail helped her to sit on the bed "I had a question for Mike."
Gabe looked at her and shook his head "you should get some more sleep Little One. You look about to drop."
Kail nodded "I agree with Gabe on this one Meg."
Megan just looked between the two of them and sighed "fine, but I don't know if I will be able to sleep. I'm not that tired."
Gabe just smiled and said one word to her "sleep." She fell asleep instantly.
Gabe smiled as he tucked her in "works every time."
Once again she found herself in the mist filled place, which she had decided she would cheaply call the Mist Field, since that was what it was. When she realized where she was she quickly looked around the stranger. "Hello is there anyone out there?"
Just as before, off to the distance, a lone figure appeared, as if bid by her calling. This time though Megan could see it more clearly. The odd thing about this figure was it appeared to have huge wings. Megan stared at it "uh could you by chance come any closer, I promise you I won't hurt you."
The figure cocked it's head to the side and came closer. A soft almost child like male voice answered her "I know you won't hurt me" he said.
"If you know that then why won't you come over here more?"
The figure just shrugged and came yet closer stopping just short of the light which Megan seemed to be standing in. All she could see were his toes. "Please may I see what you look like Sir?"
The figure seemed slightly unsure yet stepped fully into the light. He was tall about 6'1", with long silver white hair. All he wore was a pair of loose flowing pants, and on his bad were a pair of huge beautiful white angel wings. Only his eyes were visible because his face was hidden behind his hair, as if he were slightly shy and afraid of her.
All breath left Megan when she saw him, he was beautiful, everything she would imagine an angel to look like. "Are you an Angel?"
He just looked at her not quite sure how to answer "I think so" he answered. "All I know is that I am your guardian. I don't know anything else."
Megan was shocked "I have a guardian?" she thought. "Do you have a name?"
He shook his head no.
"Would you like one?"
He shrugged.
Megan smiled, "he's cute, but he seems so unsure of everything ." "Uhm... okay. A name for an angel..."
"I like that name."
"What name?"
"Angel, that is what you said I am after all."
"Angel? Are you sure? That seems more like a title of what you are, not a name."
Angel just stared at her "you don't like it" his voice sounded slightly hurt.
Megan paled, she had not meant to hurt his feelings. "It is a great name, I love it." she said smiling.
Angel nodded, "then Angel it is."
