Tilting her head back, she allowed a snowflake to land on her pale pink lips. The cold air burnt her lungs as she breathed in deeply, then created a fog as she breathed out. The peace of the still evening was broken as someone about Ella's age quickly came up to her. "Ella!" He called out, and she rolled her eyes. "Get over it, Mike. I don't want to see you again." The boy, Mike, huffed as he stood in front of her. "Why? Why would you act like you care about me, then make out with my best friend?" He asked her, pain in his voice. But Ella didn't care. He had never really cared about her, anyways. She was beautiful, so he liked her. That was as far as it went. "Because you bore me, Mike. Get. Over. It." Ella's musical voice was sharp, and he flinched as if she had slapped him.
Ella Turned to leave, but Mike caught her wrist. "Please, Ella! Don't go!" He begged, turning her back around. "Let go of me!" She said much more sharply now, her eyes cold as she tried to twist away her small wrist. Using her looks wouldn't get her out of this one; it was what got her into this mess. "Get let me go, now!" Ell growled, trying to pull back and away from him.

She walked up towards the counter and ordered a vente sized caramel frappe; she waited and paid with the money she had 'borrowed' from the person she was staying with. Once she had gotten her coffee drink, she walked over towards the counter with the sugars and creamers. She hated the bitter taste of coffee, yet she loved the ice cream taste of it; so the only way she could drown out the taste was with sugar. She opened about five packages and poured them in, one by one before opening five more. She continued until there was about an inch of sugar on top of the whipped cream. People nearby her started to stare as she took her straw and started to stir it up.

Her train of thoughts were broken when Lori talked to her. " Thinking about your parents? " Anne nodded as she faced Lori. Lori smiled back and leaned her head on her chest. " How about I let you explore the forest? Would you like that? " Lori asked her again. "Yes! Of course I would! Thanks Lori! " Anne gave Lori a hug then she ran back to their small house. She grabbed her bow and arrows and she headed to explore the forest.

āWhat did I do?!ā He screamed within his head. Parting from heaven, heād been carefully laid in an alley by the trashes. āSo Iām as worthless as trash now,ā he scoffed as he got himself up and kicked away the metallic containers of debris, littering the asphalt rubble.
He cursed the deity and blamed it endlessly. āI donāt belong here, with these belittled creatures.ā He thought bitterly.
Finally he calmed down, once he was mindful of his fatigue. His eyes began to close and his body tilted forward and he staggered on to the ground.

He worked away tenaciously, the watering can dipping gingerly forward to release water into the pot of the plant.
He enjoyed watching this monotonous gesture and he tried to make the next go as similar as possible to the last.
Once heād water all the plants, he slipped on a thick coat, and carefully wound a scarf around his throat to prepare for the cool weather outside. Heād forgotten to bring his own coffee in the morning and same with the custard cake his father had bought him a day before, so readied himself for his journey to lunch at the nearby cafĆ©.
He hastily flicked the lights off the shop and reluctantly pushed open that little plug that kept all the cold out. Heād done this a few times but heād never gotten used to it. This didnāt rid the usual smile he had on his face.
It was as if standing in front of a big deflating balloon of frost and ice. For a second, he just blinked, perplexed and confused by the strange sensation; but he soon felt the cold against his face.
He tried to console himself, as he walked calmly on to the streets. He walked and walkedā¦but soon found himself jogging. He reached the entrance, his panic almost turning to alarm, but he soon kept his temper under control.
He began to finish his order for coffee but at the last moment added a wrap, when realizing his hunger. He quickly took two packets of sugar, torn and pour them in. He noticed a girl take five and put them all in. He quickened pace away from her and sat down at a seat by a broad window.

His phone began to ring in his pocket. It startled him and made him jump in surprise. He hated the damn thing, he still couldn't figure out how to work it. He let it ring, and left it alone.Probably Erica..... He'd been living with her since he had no where else to go. She was a nice woman and had been a friends with her for a while.
He continued walking, then stoped for a moment. There stood a little girl crying andhat' screaming. He looked around and saw people look at her, but they continued walking. He tried to get a grip on his anger, and sighed.People are that terrible. Do they not see her? How could they not do anything?He walked up to her, as she wiped her tears with her hand. More tears began to well up in her emerald green eyes. A look of sympathy croosed Christians gaze. He patted the top of her head, which surprised the little girl. He knelt down to her eye level. "What's wrong?" She looked at him and more tears streamed down her face. She looked down and managed to stammer out her words, "M...My leg...."
"Your leg is hurt? Where's your parents? Do you have a brother?" The little girl shook her head, and showed him by trying to walk. She yelped and nearly fell.Probably twisted it... He ran his hand through his black hair. He turned around and knelt so she could get on his back. He lifted her onto his back and turned his head. "Do you have a family member?" The girl nodded her little red head. "Aunty is at home. She's sick."
"Do you know which way your aunt's house is?" Fortunately the girl's house wasn't far. He returned her to her aunt who in turn thanked him as did the little girl. He said nothing in return. They offered for him to stay or to come visit, and he promised he would see them again. Walking back to where he was originally going to go he caught a glimpse of a beautiful girl with long blonde hair and beautiful violet eyes. She looked so angelic that it was almost hard to believe she was a human. He felt a pang in his chest. Was this the girl he was supposed to watch over. Almost as an answer he could feel in his chest that she was the girl, the human he had to watch over. He sighed, and began following her. He saw a boy following her yelling her name in a begging tone asking her to not go. She in response shot the boy she had reffered to as Mike a cold glance. How could she go from angelic and cute to cold so quickly? He was surprised to hear himself yell hey! and follow after her. What had he gotten himself into? Wasn't he supposed to just watch her from afar?

Finally breaking her hard stare from him and closing her eyes, she took a deep sigh; not yet ready to loose him from her sight. This was all very irritating and aggravating. Her cup crushed a little and she could feel the coffee touch her hands. Another thought had occurred to her; why was she getting so aggravated over this small matter of a thing? What are the chances that this boy is the person she is suppose to protect? Close to zero right? She took another deep breath and started to suck down her coffee quickly, almost ignoring the sticky feeling that was developing in her hand from the spilled coffee. Once again, her gaze rested on him for a few minutes, maybe longer.

For a moment she stood there, her guard down for a moment as she took in the boy in front of her. He was very handsome, with dark hair and golden eyes that melted her heart- even if she only left her expression surprised and vulnerable for a moment. In that moment she stood with her long hair hair cascading down one shoulder, her long eyelashes catching small snowflakes with each blink, and a rather innocent expression on her face. It was rare someone to catch her with her guard down- but this was a small town where everybody knew everybody. And she didn't know him. It was odd feeling, and she stopped herself just before she could make a fool of herself. She covered her innocence with the face of a flirt, and she gave him a seductive smile that could break the strongest of hearts.
"Following me, are you?" Ella's musical voice chimed out in the cold evening, like a clear bell. She took a slow step forward, a daring look in her eyes.

He shot her a cold glance.Every horrible memory he had of that woman came flooding back to him. He sighed trying to get a grip on his anger. It seemed that fate wanted to torture him with the horrid details of his past. Still...he needed to redeem himself so if it meant that he had to deal with this girl then hhe would. He tried to drop the annoyance and anger out of his tone at her remark,"Just wanted to make sure you were okay. That looked bad back there, so i thought if I helped you I could stay at your place."
It was true, he needed a place to stay and he could protect her better if he stayed with her. Not to mention, Erica would be pretty eager to kick him out of the house. It seemed like it could work out.

A grey beast, who's back was higher then Ella's waist galloped out of the house, straight towards the boy. He jumped up on the fallen angel, easily knocking him over. The Great Dane stood over him, his massive paws on his shoulders as he licked his face. "Mouse! Go easy on him!" Ella laughed, clearly enjoying this.
Deciding the handsome boy had enough, Ell whistled and the massive dog followed her into the house. She left the door open, so the boy could come in. She took off her jacket and boots, so wearing only a thin tank top, jeans, and fuzzy socks. "Come on in, you'll freeze out there!" she called, leaning against the open door.

She was also looking for the other fallen angels. She hadn't seen any lately, and she was beginning to worry maybe they had all already found their people to protect. Rosie clenched her teeth together and continued down the street. She flipped her beach blonde hair back and forth and kept walking up and down the street.

" Are you alright? " Anne asked him by poking him in the side a little. She knows it was a stupid question to ask, but she needed to know the answer to it. The guy did not reply. And Anne got worried. Even though she did not know him, she felt concerned about him. Tucking some strands of her hair behind her ear, she leaned down to check if he still had a heart beat, and if his pulse was normal. He felt alright to her. Anne immediately felt relieved after. Now, she had to wait for him to wake up.

Wrap in one hand, he stared out at the scenery outside, feeling glad that heād chosen a window seat. He sighed when he felt a certain stare towards him. It disappeared after a few seconds.
A little irritated that the girl hadnāt left yet, he turned to tell her that she made a mistake, but when he saw, he realized, she was a very lovely girl with something other worldly about her.
Irritated more, turned away. He was certain heād never met, yet he didnāt have the heart to chase her away.
He sat, thoughtlessly gazing at the view abroad, and with a strange urge to speak, he turned and faced.
Heād been so sure that he needed to speak to her. But he didnāt know what to say.
āExcuse meā¦ā He began carefully.
āDo you know meā¦?ā

āThis painā¦ā He cried with hysterical eyes.
āGet rid of it!ā He paused to breath, and then he glared at her again.
Getting up, he staggered nearer and grabbed he arm tightly.
āGet me out of hereā¦I need to get outā¦ā He whispered faintly. The pain in his head prevented any clear thinking, as he leaned towards one wall, his grasp still firm on the ladyās arm. He wanted to go. He wanted to leave this tainted land. But he knew didnāt know where to go. He know longer had a place. He no longer had an objective in life.
āLady, guide meā¦ā He began again. āGuide me somewhere where I can be at peace.ā
He began to cough uncontrollably. He couldnāt adjust to the empty back he now had. How did other fallens adapt?

" I hope this will lessen what you feel, at least for now. We have to get you to my place and get some real treatment " Anne told him, it was almost like a whisper. She didn't even know if he heard her, but she wanted to help him get well, as soon as possible. She had many questions to ask him. What's his name? Where did he come from? Does he have a family? But all that would have to wait until he gets better.
