Chapter 2 : An Angel's Promise
Two years later...
Kai was now seven, but he still remembered her. She was his only friend.
Nobody in the neighborhood would like to be a crazy, blue-haired boy's friend. Nobody was there to share their lunches at recess in school with him. Nobody wanted to speak, nor see him.
He was always alone.
He wished she would come back. She would hug him. She would talk to him. She would take care of him, and call him her best friend.
He wanted her back.
He didn't cry, but inside of him, he felt like dying. But he held on to his tears. Why?
Because he made a promise. A promise to her.
Once, he started doubting her return, and just before he started to say those three dreaded words-
I hate you...
the feather she had given him, which he had thrown across his room, glowed brightly, and floated towards him.
He stared at it in awe, then held out his small hands. The feather landed in his hands, and it was very warm. He brought it closer to his chest, and hugged it.
'I'm still here...i'll always be here...and promise me...you won't cry. I don't want to see you crying next time I see you. In return, I'll come to you every time you need me...'
He reminded himself of her smile, her wavy light brown hair and eyes. He smiled. He shouldn't have doubted her.
"I promise." he whispered, at the magnificent, soft, white feather he held in his hands.
He didn't doubt her ever since that incident.
And now, he learned to keep his secrets to himself. Every child in the neighborhood thought he was a liar.
A small, lying boy. A spoiled, ignorant, brat. And to top it all, they thought he was crazy.
It was the next day after he had met her, that he had told them about Sincerity. How she looked like, and how he had given her a name.
The next day, the rumors spread...the children ran away when he tried to play with them...and he ran home, sad and angry, at the same time.
Sad, at being alone. Angry, at his own stupidity.
He had cried all the way home. His parents were fighting again, so he fled to his room.
He was miserable. He didn't want to be alive. He wanted to be with her. With Sincerity.
Just before he left to go to school, he hugged Sincerity's feather again, just like he did every morning. And every time he hugged it, the feather would glow, and become very warm, as if responding to his embrace.
He smiled, and hid it in his treasure box, on top of lots of small trinkets that he put in there-
A small pink flower he wrapped in aluminum foil, which had been given to him by his grandmother, the day before she died. One of his mother's gold earrings, which she had given him, while she kept the other one in her own box. A small, wooden toy airplane, which his father had made for him when he was four.
There were other things in there that reminded of his family, and other small things that he liked to keep to himself.
His most treasured possesion is Sincerity's feather, the biggest object in his box.
He hid his box in his closet, in a far corner, hidden.
He grabbed his small green backpack, and left towards school.
He sighed as he entered the schools' gate. Another day, being ignored at.
He got used to the loneliness, and started to care less of what the other children thought of him.
The day seemed to drag by, and he hated school more than ever when this happened.
When school was over, he ran towards his house, not even stopping a bit to rest.
When he got home, his parents greeted him, cheerfully. Which didn't happen very often.
They were always fighting, and they just sended him to his room when they did.
He greeted back, and quickly ran to his room. He closed the door, and searched for his treasure box in his closet.
He found it, and took out the feather. He hugged it again, and it responded by glowing brightly and becoming warm, again.
He smiled, and put it on his desk. Then he opened the window.
He knew the feather wouldn't fly away. The feather would always stay there, wherever he chose to put it. He grabbed his backpack, and started doing his homework.
Sometimes, while doing his homework on his bed, he would stare out the window, wondering when Sincerity would come back.
He knew she had said that she would come back when he needed her. Then why wasn't she here?
Why wasn't she there, helping him with his homework? Why wasn't she there to tell him it was all going to be okay whenever the children at school made fun of him? Where was she?
"I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner, Kai. Will you forgive me?"
He looked up. She was there.
She was sitting on his desk, next to the white feather that she had given him, her legs hanging over the edge of his desk. She smiled at him.
He smiled back and stood, she stood also, and they ran towards each other.
The hugged each other for a few moments, and they both felt so happy. Each other's prescence would make them smile, and they would be so glad they were there.
Then they sat together.
"What are you apologizing for? I can't stay mad at you!" he said, smiling happily.
She smiled. His smile always made her happy. Heck, it made her feel like an...angel.
The happiest angel ever.
They both had changed so much over two years. They were both taller, and the features on their faces were a tiny bit different than they were two years ago.
They talked about how they missed each other so much. Even though they had only met twice, they felt like they had known each other forever.
Sincerity had actually been protecting him since he was born, until now. But she had only dared to let herself be seen because his life was at danger, two years ago, when he was five.
Angels weren't supposed to be seen by humans. Unless there were life-threathening incidents.
That's why she had come late. Because she wasn't allowed to be among humans. She had sneaked into his house, avoiding the other angels. He was sad, and she had promised him.
She couldn't break her promise. Especially not to him.
She extended her wings, hugged him, and wrapped her wings around him.
Whenever she was near, he always felt protected...like...as if she was his Guardian Angel...
