"I am your Creator," Azra'il said soberly. I came up and stood beside him, watching the blond headed young half'life I saw in my vision. His eyes widened considerably.

"What?" he said. He's a keeper!

"Do not make him say it again, young one," I said, stepping in front of Azra'il. The others around him broke out in whispers, the main question being did she just call Carlisle young? "Yes, you are young—compared to us," I added.

"A… Are you angels?" he asked hesitatingly.

"If my wings are not enough proof for you, ask your mind reader. I know all about you, half'life. You are called Carlisle Cullen, you have a wife named Esme Cullen, maiden name Guantic (Okay, I was too lazy to see if Esme even had a maiden name, so I just came up with this one. Deal with it.). Shall I continue?"

"N-No," he stuttered. I never thought it was possible for half'lifes to stutter. Hm, Death made weaklings. We'll have to work on them. "May I ask why you are here?"

I smiled at him, probably making him more nervous because my wounds had closed up already and the golden blood disappeared off of my skin, not leaving a single blemish. "Ah, you are a curious half'life." My smile dropped. "A war is coming. We are here to prevent it, or it may be the end of the world as we know it."

"And what do we have to do with it?"

I hissed. "Foolish half'life. Why speak to me as an old friend? I am God's first angel, millennia's old. My mate has made you with only a thought. He could take you off of this earth with a thought. From now on, you may say Guardian at the end of each sentence you speak to me, or face my wrath."

Death laid a hand on my shoulder. "Relax Gabriel," he muttered under his breath. The half'life picked it up, though, and his eyes seemed likely to pop out of his head.

"Y-Yes Guardian," he stuttered, bowing. I relaxed from my crouch.

"The same goes for the rest of you," Azra'il ordered. They all muttered 'yes' and bowed, the women curtsying.

"May I ask who your companion is, Guardian?" Carlisle asked, bowing once more.

"He is the Angel of Death. Do not keep bowing to me, young one," I added. "I am not God. The only one you should worship is God."

"Yes Guardian," he said, tipping his head in a much smaller bow. Then he checked himself and jerked his head up, apology set in his eyes. I smiled at him.

"The only questions that will be answered are the only ones we can answer, young one. For now, though, burn this body." I waved my hand at the vacant body of Ari. "He will be coming back in a different form, so I suggest you keep his scent in your noses. Azra'il and I will be leaving. When the time comes, we will return."

"But—"

"—No 'but's," I interrupted. "Do not speak to me so carelessly. We will return when the time is right. We only came to see what we were dealing with, and so we could see how close the enemy was. This is very bad for you, though, because Lucifer is getting stronger and closer. Time is running out.

"Azra'il," I ordered. "We must leave. Goodbye, young half'lifes. I wish you the best of luck."

With that, we did a standing liftoff. Rolling my shoulders, I let my wings out with a woosh, and took to the sky, Death following. The half'lifes at the bottom stared, open-mouthed, at us. I smirked at the scene, and then focused ahead.

It was time to grab my Angels and haul butt to Forks, the tiny town housing the half'lifes that were most likely going to end the world.

But not if I had anything to say about it.

Okay, I know it was short, but I had to leave it at that, because the interesting stuff is coming up in the next chapter. I hope this was satisfactory, though. Sorry for the long wait! Oh, and welcome a new member to FanFiction, my sister, animalcrackersoup! :D

Three whoops for animal! WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP!

Any questions, just ask. OH! And before I forget, in the last chapter, the Latin words 'mea', 'mea custodem angelus', and 'angelum meum', meant 'my love', 'my guardian angel', and 'my angel'. I hope that clears up some confusion. :D

Random Question: Which do you prefer? Peanut butter or bananas? I like both. Especially on a piece of bread. XD

R&R?
