Angel In Training

Chapter 4 Lexine's Room

Sylvia led Lexine over to the stream. They both sat at the edge of the water. Lexine peered over her knees, which were pulled closely to her. The water was crystal clear showing the light colored dirt at the bottom. She saw her reflection and for the first time with her wings. As she gazed a school of fish swam by catching her eye. Each one bright and different in its own way.

Lexine sat up slow as she heard soft music playing. She glanced over to a tree. A male angel leaned against a tree playing a flute. A mix of female and male angels were watching him. She smiled to herself and felt a hand rest on her shoulder. Sylvia was standing above her with her hand out a bright smile across her face. "Come lets get your room and we'll come back later."

Lexine stood up and followed her. "So when do I start this 'training'?" Sylvia shifted her head to face her. "As soon as possible we need all the help." She had a serious look on her face for the first time. It was soon replaced with her warm smile. "Come now hurry up." She toke Lexine's hand and tugged it pulling her along gently. Lexine was confused about what she said but left it be and smiled following her new friend.

They soon reached another building. It was half covered in vines that grew up along the walls. Sylvia led her in. "This is were you will be staying." Lexine stared in awe. The room's walls were light purple. They had nothing on them but she already knew they would soon fill up with anything she could get her hands on. Pictures, leaves, she would even write down meaningful things if need be.

A bed was up against the wall in the corner. The bed covers were light blue. Two fluffy looking pillows were at the head of the bed. A window was opposite of the bed. It let in all the bright warm light from outside. She stepped inside her bare feet now touching hard wood floor instead of soft green grass. She walked over to the window and opened it letting in the fresh air. Her room soon filled with the smell of flowers. She stuck her head out the window carefully.

Beyond her window was a meadow full of wild flowers. She smiled recognizing some of their scents. The sun light up the colors of the flowers, light purples, blues, pinks, reds, oranges, and yellows mixed together. She pulled her head back in and looked a Sylvia. Lexine smiled like a child, bright and happy. "I love it." Sylvia smiled. "I thought you would."
