Hello peoples! This is the last chapter from Guardian Angel, and I hope you've all enjoyed it!
The next day I spent in that forest. I called in at a payphone near the forest to say that I had a fever and couldn't go to school. I loved the forest of little critters and nature but I longed for the feeling of people around me. I wished I could go back to Ash's house but it would be very weird to go back and let him take me in again. I started to build a fire out of the rocks dry grass, and wood I found on the river banks. Then I made myself a vegetarian salad out of blueberries, wild strawberries, lemon grass, clovers, and dandelions. I also made a bowl out of clean grass and my trusty skills in weaving. Then I took the water from the river and put it in the crack-less bowl. I started to boil the clovers, dandelions, and lemongrass over my fire. Then when the wild plants were done, I took them out and used the leftover water as tea to drink during dinner. Before dinner, I decided to go hand- fishing for trout. So, I sat down and tried my best to catch a fish. To my surprise I caught a fat looking fish. Thinking about how the fish followed the river flow. I suddenly thought about Morgan.
I rushed back to my campsite, letting the fish go. I called to the cloud to come back and tell me what it saw and heard. When the cloud got back, it sad that everything was exactly the same. I was so relieved that Ash was safe, I hugged myself. I feel asleep thinking about happy thoughts.
The next day I knew I had to go to school. So, I walked to school enjoying the view. Until I saw Leaf and Gary walking alone. It was not like them to leave Ash out, unless… I fast-walked over to them. Leaf and Gary looked surprised that I didn't know. " You didn't know that Ash is being a jerk? I thought that's why you left! We thought you were heartbroken after Ash got…" We were interrupted by the laugh of to people. A boy and a girl. I turned around and saw the thing that broke my heart.
When I first saw it, I rubbed my eyes to see if it was real. It was real. Ash was holding hands with Melody and Melody was holding a bouquet of roses. I ignored Ash and Melody and turned around to tell Leaf," Keep going." So, she did. "After Ash got back together with Melody. Ash has never been like this to Melody, even when she was with him before they broke up. She seems to have Ash under a spell." As soon as Leaf said that, I changed the whole way I saw Melody. "A spell." I whispered through my shocked, muffled breath. As they walked past us, Ash didn't even acknowledge our presence. Melody shot me a smug look that said, "From now on, Ash is mine, and always will be." From that moment on, I was determined to find out what had happened to the real Ash Ketchum.
The next few weeks at school, I felt like there was no one that cared anymore. Gary and Leaf were there for me, but I realized how much I needed Ash next to me. He had really turned into a total jerk to Leaf, Gary, and I, but I still didn't give up in finding out what happened to him. He looked like he had been enchanted, that's for sure, but by who I still wasn't positive. It could've been anyone.
One day while I was at study hall, a note appeared on my table. It had one word in shaky handwriting, "Melody". It was then it hit me. Melody was the one. I remembered the story about the guardian angel who broke the black rule, and it was one who had guarded Ash.
Beginning of Flashback...
It was the story of an angel. She was beautiful, blonde hair and sea blue eyes. She was somewhat like Aphrodite because of her kindness and passion for love, but deep inside of her was jealousy and anger ready to be let out like the Devil. She wanted to see what Earth looked like so she went down to Earth to become a guardian angel. She knew the rules very well and vowed to do what the rules said to do. She met her charge and her heart skipped a beat. She no longer remembered the Black Rule and she cast a love spell on him. They were a couple but since no one can control love, her spell wasn't as strong and it would wear off later. One night, while she were sleeping, she was brought to Hell. There she was brought to the Devil himself.
There the Devil asked her," Did you really think that love was that easy? You can't just put a spell on him as an angel. Yet as a dark angel you can. She was happy about that thought but then the Devil warned," You will find that he will love someone else. And you will do things beyond things to kill her and get revenge on your charge and the world. " She agreed to this thought and because of this she was sent back to Earth. Before she did, the Devil said," You can start using your powers in 5 months, if you start early. You will become weak. Even though she knew that the Devil was correct, she wanted to check on her charge and make him love her again. She tried her powers but then she remembered what the Devil said. She would wait until then so that her charge could " love" her again.
End Flashback...
That would explain everything about what I heard when I first met Ash. " Another one" he had said. Also what I heard about how Melody compared me and her in the fight at school. Her description was just like the one in the story. Not all is lost if Ash was able to write this, and now all I needed was for me to confront her. I was almost there, just a little farther, and Ash would be back.
The next day, I went up to Melody in study hall to confront her once and for all. I went up to her and said, "I know who you are, you Hell's Devil! You…" Melody looked surprised and shouted,"Well lets go outside to fight." Then she added in a whisper," You don't want anyone to know about the true you. Right?" So, we settled it outside.
"You can't just put a spell on Ash for him to love you. You're not playing fair!" I said in rage. Morgan looked sad for a moment but then she yelled," Well, then why are you defending him?! Are you in love too? Has the Devil paid you a visit? Oh, are you sad because your crush defies you? Did my Ashy-poo break your heart?" Melody taunted. I wanted to yell back, but all that happened was tears down my face. " I'm not fair huh? Well I'll tell you what's not fair!" She suddenly had a flaming ball of red fire in her hands. " LOVE IS NOT FAIR!" Melody yelled as she threw the flaming ball at me. I put my hands up in hope that I had powers. As the flaming ball of fire came closer, my eyes closed. Then, I felt nothing. I opened my eyes and I had a glowing, white shield in front of me. I had powers of an angel!
Melody looked really shocked. I heard her murmur, "That's not possible! Only the daughters and sons of a royal angel and a royal dark angel can have stronger powers than the Devil's pride in battles!" I was shocked too! Could it be, mom and dad, angels. No way. Maybe mother and father didn't die they could have just left back to Heaven and Hell! In that minute I had my strongest will to fight. In a few seconds, Melody was laying on the ground. Then there was a blinding light.
I had not planned for the world to glow. I realized that my wings were fully showing and I was dressed in a beautiful long white gown. That shimmered in the sunlight, it was dark black at the very top then it started to turn white at the bottom. At The bottom of my gown and sleeves was golden embroidery. I was glowing like silver luster dust. Melody was gone, maybe even back to Hell forever. I was dressed in a silk white gown and to my embarrassment, Ash kissed me.
There was good and bad sides to this kiss. First the good side: I finally knew Ash liked me, he finally kissed me, and lastly, I got his kiss before I went back to Hell. Bad side: I would go to Hell. Well, I thought I would go to Hell, but I didn't, nothing happened. I found out something I didn't know. Daniel had wings, white feathery wings. He didn't know he had wings before I did though. Somehow he just got wings. (Possibly from mother and father from above.) Then, he and I got transfered to Heaven.
We woke up in a grand room filled with sculptures of angels and precious items. In front of us stood mother and father. They were dressed like regular queens and kings, except mother in white and father in black. They happily greeted Ash and me. And as mom touched my shoulder, she said, "My dear, we've missed you so much. We've been watching over you and May." "I missed you too, but why did you bring us up to Heaven?" I replied.
Father answered my question with delight saying," Misty, dear, we know who you love. Ash loves you too. Your mother and I have noticed how foolish we were to keep you apart and how foolish our rules were. So, we've decided for you and Ash to live in Heaven." I could see Ash blushing, he looked like a red rose. Then he piped up, "But, sir, I have friends on Earth that need me." Father smiled and said," That's okay you can go back to Earth but Misty has to stay in Heaven. I will take your wings too, but when she wants, she can go down to Earth and guard your family and friends. "
Ash started to leave, but he looked back at me. I smiled but I knew I had to stay up here in Heaven. Yet I dared to ask, "Father, Mother, I love you very much, but I'd like to live down Earth for a while and come back. I have made friends, and I want to get a better connection with them. Also, I mighthavesortoffalleninlovewithAsh." I nervously twiddled my thumbs. "So, may I go back to Earth with Ash?" My parents looked at each other, and seemed to be speaking to each other telepathically. Actually, considering that I'm from a family of angels, they probably were. At last they nodded and turned back to us.
"Yes, you may," said my mom with a small smile on her face. "However, if you go to Earth, I cannot guarantee that you can come back up here until you die again. Is that okay?" I nodded yes and embraced them one last time. Then Ash and I walked down a golden spiral staircase that appeared before us. When we got back, we met up with Fallon and Elana. First thing I did was tell them that I was an angel, and they clapped and cheered. They were so happy to know the truth, and to know that Melody finally won't bother them anymore.
So, maybe dying isn't that bad. I became an angel and I fell in love with Ash. I made new friends with Leaf and Gary and made enemies with Melody. I am Hell and Heaven's Angel. The hero of the angels, the savior of devils. I, Misty Waterflower, am Hell's Angel.
To all those people who thought May would be back, I'm really sorry! I didn't know what to do with her, so she just remained in in Heaven. Sorry! Anyways, thank you everyone who Favorited, Followed, and Reviewed! I appreciate them all. I hope you guys will read the stories I've written and the ones I will write.
