My Angel

Now that I think about about it I was always alone. But I wasn’t lonely or anything like that, to be honest I preferred being alone. I liked the peace and quiet while I read lots of different types of book. I would rather read about the amazing and wild adventures people went on in their life’s than think about my own. Well of course I did,my life was was far from perfect all because I was a demon. That’s right a vile disgusting horrible demon that everyone hated. They didn’t want me and I certainly didn’t need them! I was fine with being alone.

It was late afternoon when I was reading in my favourite spot. I had escaped the orphanage after lunch not that they cared where I was as long as I was back before nightfall.I was high above the ground on a large branch of a oak tree. I loved it there it was as if I was isolated from the rest of the world. No one would be able to bother me there....at least that was what I thought.

While I was absorbed in this spectacular drama I was reading, I saw someone approaching me. I assumed that they would walk past me, giving me a dirty look or two like every one else. I was wrong.

“GET DOWN FROM THERE YOU STUPID DEMON”

Great...another annoying angel trying to pick on me.

“HEY DON’T IGNORE ME”

I sighed. I knew this girl, it was the annoying rich girl whose father always came to visit and donate to the orphanage. His daughter was the famous Lilith Byron.She was well known for being the genius of her generation but to me she’s just an annoying brat who seems to feel the need to bother me every time she comes. But as much as I hate her, she is a noble so I have to treat her with respect. So I jumped down to where she was standing.

“Is there anything you need?” I asked politely.

“ You filthy deaom peasant how dare you steal from me!”she snarled at me.

“What?! I wouldn’t do that” I say half shocked, half annoyed.

“ I have no idea what your talking about!”I snap at her.

“You dare lie in front of me, know your place!!”

“Know my place?!” “ I don’t even know what your accusing me of stealing!!!”

“It was my jade necklace!!” She said, “You stole it when I was last here!”

“IT WASN’T ME” I shouted “ Why would I steal something I don’t need?”

“Give it back you vile beast” she spat.

“But didn’t take it!” I growled

“Fine if you don’t give it I will make you!”

I was so confused. What did I do to deserve this? It wasn’t my fault!! Life was so unfair! Why do I have to go through this? Why wouldn’t anyone believe me? Why did I have to be born a miserable demon!! As I stood there confused and frustrated I saw a huge stick in her hands. She lifted it up and I tried to shield my self and that’s when I saw him.......

He rushed towards me. His face red and sweaty. It was as if he’d been running for miles and miles. He had beautiful sliver hair that shimmered like the moon. And his eyes. His gleaming golden eyes. They were intriguing, but also so innocent. He ran in front of me as if to protect me from this cruel girl.

“STOP” he shouted suddenly.

Lilith dropped the stick immediately.

“WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO TO HIM”

“This isn’t what it looks like Lucian I wasn’t-“ Lilith stuttered

“I don’t care just get away from us” he snapped

“But I-”

“Just go away!” He spat. “You being mean!”

“Fine” She said close to tears and ran off

Then he sat down beside me and smiled. A smile is an expression of someones feelings. It can be good or bad true or fake, but his was warm and gentle. No one had ever smiled at me like that before. It was nice.

“Oh right, I almost fogot to introduce myself!” “My name is Lucian” He said

“I’m Axel”He told him.

“That must have been scary are you ok?”

I felt tears streaming down my face. Strange. I never cried especially in front of people.

“Um......yeah I’ll be ok”

I cried a lot that day. Lucian was with me the hold time. He didn’t say anything but it felt like if he was with me it really would be ok. I had this unfamiliar feeling inside. When I look back now I think it was happiness. For the first time I was simply happy.
