(This chapter shall be in first person. It's more like an experiement and if I like writing in first person for this story then I'll continue it.)

Chapter 3

Pit's eyes opened and I realized I had been holding my breath. Breathing hard, I greeted the angel girl back. What had she given him? Whatever it had been it certainly worked wonders. The wounds on his back and wing seemed to disappear except for a pink scar. I cringed at the site, the image of the beast's claws dragging his way down this boy's back.

"Pit?" Dazzle's voice was every bit it should be. Smooth, soothing, perfect, calming, joyful, but at the same time it was worried, distressed, angry. It was mesmerizing listening to the conversation between these two.

Pit's eyes met the girl above him and he smiled, "Dazzle..." He groaned, the noise so unnatural to my ears coming from such a perfect being. "The beast..."

"Is gone. You were so brave." She ran the back of her hand calmingly down his cheek and a part of me wanted just as much to do the same gesture, to feel Pit's soft, perfect skin.

He brushed off the gesture, his brows furrowing as he sat up. Suddenly, it must have been like he realized he was being watched by the most confused people on the earth. It was awkward but part of me wanted ask a zillion questions as fast as I could before I lost the chance. Usually, I could contain these urges, but the words fell out of my mouth faster than a rabit running from a hunting dog.

"What's your name? You're really an angel, right? What was it that you gave him, Dazzle? I can call you that? Are you hungry?" I pushed my hair behind my ear and blushed. The expression's on their faces were dumbfounded. Guess they couldn't understand a word I was saying because I was talking too fast. TO be honest, I can't even remember what I asked. The moment was so over whelming.

"I'm... Pit." The brunette angel began. "Yes, we ARE angel, but we prefer to be called Guaridans. And to answer your last question... No." He was smiling, but what at I couldn't figure out. He had a gorgeous smile. So warm, welcoming, free, meaningful.

"I gave him a potion." Dazzle slid her gaze from Pit's face to mine, a scowl on her lips. What happened to that perky personality she abstracted so well? "And no." She returned her gaze to Pit. "Pit. We need to go back."

"Right..." The disappointment in Pit's voice felt heartbreaking. How could their voice have such a big impact on my emotions?

"Wait!" I, before thinking about what I was doing, grabbed Pit's arm before he and his Guardian friend flew out the window. He looked down at me, those piercing blue eyes paralyzing me on the sight. "I... Don't leave."

"Pit. We can't stay out in the open like this. We're not supposed to show ourselves to the humans. You know how stupid they can be."

"For someone who protects us, you really have a bitchy way of showing it." Peach walked up beside me. "This is all sudden, crazy, strange, insane, did I mention crazy? But I agree, they should leave. If we're not supposed to see them, then I don't want to. We'll get into some more weird crap that we really don't need."

"But..." I began to argue. But instead, I let go of Pit's arm, and for a distinct moment I could of sworn he looked disappointed, but he was gone in the blink of an eye.

(Three days later)

I'm staring at the words in my science book as the teacher, Marioa, goes on in his italian accent about molecules and other things that I just can't stand to hear. Lately, my thoughts have been on whether or not I really met an ACTUAL angel. I mean, it could be just a dream, couldn't it? I asked Peach about it often but she just brushes the question off my changing the subject. I've stopped asking her. Link had been there, but Link hasn't been to school since it happened. I feel so alone.

On top of everything that's stressing me out, I have a weird feeling lately. I feel like I'm being watched. I've never been so paranoid before in my life. Peach says its just because of what happened, that was the first time she talked about what we saw in my bedroom. I sigh and brush my hair behind my ear and look up.

The teacher's by the door, reading a parchment of paper. "Class please a welcome Pit. He's a your new a classmate." I perk up. Once I see those same blue eyes from those days ago. Peach is looking at me now with a look of unbelief, but I'm too excited. And a little confused. What's he doing here anyways?

::::::::::

After school I confront Pit and yet again I'm asking several questions and somehow he ends up answering them all.

"What are you doing here? What happened? WHat were those beast things? Are you alright? Where's your friend?" That award winning smile appears on his face and I look down.

"Its a long story, prehaps we should go somewhere more secluded?" He spoke, and his voice just calmed me instantly. I nodded, and went home. My parents weren't home, they were at work till five so we had time.

I closed the door to my room and sat on the bed, anxious to hear the story. He took a seat on the floor in front of me and he began.

"When we returend to Skyworld, it was in horrible ruins. The watch towers were on fire, the buildings that held sacred artifacts had been torn apart, the palace though, had barely took any damage. It still stood tall, much to mine and Dazzle's relief. Once we entered the throne room of the palace, Palutena, the goddess, had looked distressed..."

Flashback

Pit kneeled down, ashamed of his failure to protect the portal to the mortal realm. Because of my carlessness, He thought, the beasts enetered into the realm.

"Pit, do not be ashamed. You protected the mortals, both of you, by defeating them. You did well. But listen carefully, and stand." Pit and Dazzle obeyed, vying their attention to the Godess. "This Darkness attack is not random, while you were gone, I have been doing research on the matter. Do you remember these, youg Guardians?" She lifted her hand in the air and three scrolls appeared before them, words inscripted on them.

"Every Guardian studied these scrolls at the beggining of their training. What is so important about them, your Majesty?" Dazzle inquired.

"They tell a story." The Goddess read from the scrolls, sitting down in her throne. "There is but one soul who's heart is pure. This soul is only born every four thousand years. This specific soul is known as the Pure. The pure thinks of no evil, strive for justice, and sees potential in all beings. The Pure is said to be the key to immortality, it must be protected from all forces of evil. Darkness, Demons, Witches, and Angels of Oblivion.

The Guardians must be willing to risk their life to protect the Pure. If the pure falls into the hands of evil, it will be used against ALL beings. Each scroll took years to find, and took years to translate and put it together."

"Your Majesty, who is the Pure?" Pit asked, looking at the drawn pictures on the scroll, telling the story.

"It is the mortal girl you two protected." Palutena closed her eyes and continued. "Pit, I have another mission for you. You must protect the mortal girl at all costs. To do this though... You must take the form of a mortal."

"...A mortal? How will I protect her as a mortal?" Pit asked. "Won't my abilities disappear?"

"Do not fear, Pit. Our most skilled Magics have created a spell for you to use to become Guardian when in danger. Simply drink this and you'll regain your Guardian powers, though you have but a few minutes."

"Why must I become mortal though?"

"The Guardians cannot reveal themselves untot he humans, their actions would lead them to horrific things. The knowledge of our people would create chaos for the humans. They are not ready, the imperfect beings, for such great wonders of our realm. It is best for you to remain close to mortal at all times."

Pit looked down at the floor. Become a mortal...? Give up his entire being? Could he really do it? He might not see his fellow Guardians ever again. He might not see Dazzle, the beauty of this world... Could he really do it?

"Goddess, what will you have me to do?" Dazzle anxiously wondered.

"Dazzle. I see great potential in you. Potential in studying under the most skilled Magics. Your abilties as a warrior are great, yes, but your strong suit is in Magic. Your duty, Dazzle, is to create a spell of protection against the evil forces."

Dazzle frowned. She hated doing Magic, she wanted to be in the battle fighting, KNOWING she was doing something to help. Magic seemed like a waste of time to her.

"I know Magic is not something you enjoy, but Dazzle, its what your gift is. Embrace it, learn to love it. Its what you have to do." Palutena demanded her.

"Alright, your Majesty." Dazzle stood aftering bowing and left the palace.

"Pit, will you become mortal?" The Godess' attention turned towards Pit.

"I will."

End of Flashback

"Oh my gosh..." I couldn't believe what I just heard. I was a pure soul? I'm the key to immortality? I'm in horrible danger? Pit gave up what he WAS just to protect me? "I can't... believe this... Its all so sudden..."

"Its who you are, Zelda. You have to accept it..." Pit's voice was gentle, and I felt over whelmed. The tears were coming down before I could stop them.

"I'm sorry, Pit." I said through sobs. He gave up everything for me! Someone he didn't even KNOW. "I'm so sorry... You had to give up everything for me..."

"I was glad to do it, Zelda." He sat beside me, his voice comforting me. "I want to protect you. Your something rare in a world full of doubt. Your amazing and its a priveledge to protect you."

I looked up at him, wiping the tears out of my eyes. "But..."

He smiled at me, wipingg a tear off my cheek with his thumb. "You don't have to cry."

I nodded, and looked down at my hands that were resting in my lap. I took a deep breath and let it go a few moments later. "Alright... I'm fine." I attempted a smile and looked up at him. "Pit, there's something I need to ask you."

"Yes?" He looked at me, that golden smile giving me the courage to ask.

"Will you teach me some self defense?"

"What for? I'm here to protect you." He asked, confused.

"I know, but I don't want to be the damsel in distress. I don't want to rely on you too much." I explain.

"Okay." he said slowly. "I'll teach you. Any other questions?"

"No... not really." I look out the window at the sun. I wonder what time it is? But that's when I remember about Peach. I have to tell her everything that's going on. "Actually, I need you to explain something to a friend of mine. She was the blonde haired girl that was here when you left..." I could tell he didn't remember.

"Is she the one that angered Dazzle?" Pit tilted his head. He seemed so innocent, and I couldn't help but smile. The way he talked was... different. It was so proper. It was going to take time to get used to.

"That was her. She's my best friend and she deserves to know." I said.

"I was told to tell no one but you. If word got out about this to anyone it could be dangerous." He said, looking serious. It was nerveracking to see his gaze so serious.

"But... She already knows about you..." I argued.

Pit sighed, closing his eyes. "The Goddess erased her memory of me. Her and the other boy here. She did not want to take chances of endangering me. I'm sorry."

"Oh... I see. I guess I understand then." He stood and I stood with him. But then I heard a rumble. The sun was out so it couldn't possibly be storming. Then it happened again, and I laughed. "Pit, are you hungry?"

"Incredibly starving." He answered, smiling again. I love that smile.

"Let's go get something to eat." I said, walking down the stairs with him. "What would you like to eat?"

"I don't know... I've never had human food before." He answered and I pointed to a stool at the counter for him to take a seat in.

"Well then..." I looked in the fridge. "Your not a vegetarian, right?"

He shook his head. "Good, because all we seem to have are eggs." I closed the door and saw a note on the fridge entitled to me. I read the letter and recognized my dad's handwriting.

Dear Zelda,

We're going to be gone until monday night, your mother left you her card in the drawer in her nightstand. Its for food and emergencies only. Be good and lock the doors. We trust you.

Love,

Dad and Mom.

"Well, looks like my parents won't be home. After we eat we'll have to go shopping." I heat up the stove and put a frying pan down, cracking the egg open and letting it fry in the pan.

"Shopping..." Pit said slowly. "Is it deadly?"

I smiled, this was certainly going to be an adventure.
