My Guardian Angel Chapter 4: Pit
High school sucks, sorry about the cliffhanger guys, I try to stay on top of everything but I end up failing to do so. I OWN NOTHING except for my oc who if you haven't guessed by now is me.
Darkness. Black. That is all I can see right now. I feel tired and numb, and I'm slowly getting to my senses. Where am I? I think, and I flutter my eyes open to check my surroundings. Right away, I see a huge, fancy, gold trimmed fireplace that seems somewhat far away, with a glowing red fire blazing inside it, releasing its soothing heat over to me. I look around the room and see that it is huge with walls made of smooth, polished white marble, brilliant gold, and sparkling glass that is clearer than the cleanest glass. There are pillars in every corner, beautifully sculpted, and a big sparkling crystal chandelier hanging above me on a ceiling showing a picture of the goddess of light painted on it. Before I can realize where I am, I suddenly feel much warmth and softness as well as something feathery and I look at where my position is. I am wrapped in a plush blanket and I am being cradled like a baby in the arms of someone with chocolate hair, a gold laurel crown, and soft, white wings which were wrapped around my frame. I blush at this, and even though I can't see his face very well since my head is on his shoulder, I see the familiar winter coat that he was wearing before lying on one of the arms of the big velvet sofa he was sitting on with me in his arms, and realized it is the angel who had saved me. He had also taken off his scarf, leaving him in a long-sleeved black shirt, along with his black pants and boots. He is running his hand up and down my back, causing me to shiver from the contact and breathe a quiet sigh of relaxation. I guess he hears this, because he slowly takes my head off his shoulder and folds in his wings, looking into my brown eyes with his soft, deep blue ones and smiles calmly. "ah, you're awake. I was starting to get worried about you", he sighs in relief, hugging me, "I've been waiting for you for the longest time, Alyson". Wait… what? Why is he acting like he's known me forever? I don't even know his name! And I still don't know where I am, nonetheless. "umm… if you don't mind me asking", I say shakily, "who are you, exactly? And how do you know me? And where am I?" The angel smirks, "you sure are the curious one aren't you?", he chuckles, "that's what I've always admired about you, Alyson, but there's no reason to be scared, then again, I can't really blame you, but allow me to explain. My name is Pit, servant of the goddess of light, Palutena, commander of her army, and your guardian angel" "guardian angel?" "yep, that's me! Pit at your service", he jokes, grinning widely and I smile back, "I was assigned to watch over you ever since you were born" So that's why he knows so much about me, but I can't help but wonder why he looks so young, I've always pictured angels to look a bit older, but he looks like he's my age. I ask him this and he replies with, "angel's lifespans are pretty long. I'm 755 years old right now. Pretty crazy, right? I only physically age every 50 years. Oh! Almost forgot! You're in Palutena's temple, you'll be staying here with me for now on. You're much safer here than down below where pain is ongoing, especially with your father", he says sincerely, "and I promise I'll never let you suffer through that again, never let you get hurt again", he crosses his heart to keep that promise. I suddenly start to feel all the excruciating pain from the events before kick in, so Pit carries me to a pool of golden water that looks like it's steaming. I take off my glasses and fold them up, and blush when I realize I'm still in my pajamas. Pit gently places me in the soothing water and after a few minutes he pulls me out. To my utter surprise, all the pain, not to mention all of the cuts and bruises and other injuries are gone and my skin looks normal for once, even beautiful. I'm still wet though, so Pit gets me a towel and a clean pair of jeans and a pretty white shirt that Palutena had gotten and leaves the room. I dry off and put on the clothes, then Pit escorts me to a beautiful skyview bedroom with the softest bed I have ever seen. Pit closes the bedroom door, telling me to get some rest, which I desperately need considering all the events that happened today. I tuck myself into the bed, which is even softer than I imagined, and drifted off into sleep, smiling as I dreamed about my guardian angel.
