GUARDIAN|M.LANGDON

PART 20|ANGEL

All it took- all it ever needed to take
Was 4 words
And my world came crashing down on me
My chest caved slightly- and slowly it all made sense, the immense power he had, the overpowering feeling from him
The ever so unworldly beauty- all a facade to hide his true persona
The devils offspring

But then another thought popped into my mind- one even more important than this fact

I was his guardian angel?
I was the guardian angel to the antichrist

Why was I his guardian?
Why is he the antichrist?
And when
When did he figure out I was his guardian?

"He warned me of your beauty"
He was talking about- oh no

I stood up, still trying to comprehend it

I'm the guardian angel... of the antichrist

I'm unsure what he could be thinking, but I couldn't even look at him, at the disgust I felt

I felt... dirty

I put my fingers to my lips

I had kissed him

Without thinking I bolted out of the greenhouse, tears already starting to fall down my face

Why was I crying?
I knew the answer, but I refuse to speak it

I cried because I was his guardian, I was scared of falling

That's the only reasons

I shudder as I try to wave it back to my head, I needed to go home as soon as possible
To tell Cordelia this- all of it
And a nagging thought dragged about my brain

What would she do when she found out?

-TIME SKIP-
I stayed in my room for a while, trying to wrap my head around everything, I just needed space

I wasn't angry at him, how could I be? I was just... confused

Finally I had enough of my room, and I head downstairs, I spot Ariel in an empty classroom, I quickly walk up to him
"Hey Ariel, I wanted to thank you for the accommodation, but i think it's time for me to head back home" I smile nervously at him

He looks at me, and shakes his head

"No"

I furrow my brows
No?

"Why not?" I pushed the matter further, he stands up straight, cleaning up some papers he had as he continues

"Because, the boys here need training, as a woman you'll be a great example"

I furrow my brows again "I can't- I'm not a witch"

Not a lie, but I know he'll press on

I wasn't afraid to tell people who I was, I had the will to do so, but something told me I shouldn't have said it

Because I'll have to tell him

"Not a witch? What are you then? Cordelia wouldn't let a normal girl know so much"

I see someone at the doorway of the room, and I tense up at realizing it's Micheal

"Because I'm Cordelias guardian angel"

It was a lie, obviously, but It would help both me and Cordelia out

Ariels eyes widen "a- an angel?" He stammers, why is he nervous?

"Yes, I can still do all the things a witch can do... hell even something a supreme can do, but that wouldn't be fair would it? For an angel or some sort of being to take that position?" This was a dig at Micheal, he wasn't a supreme, just the antichrist, but I am quick to catch the quick glance Ariel strikes at Micheal

He knew?

I don't say anything, but Ariel talks again

"I'll try and get you home as soon as possible, unless our supreme had any sort of plans for you?" He looks up to Micheal, who simply shakes his head

Plans? Is that a code?

Ariel seems surprised, perhaps that was code "well then, Micheal can show you the way out" I bow slightly as I follow Micheal quickly behind, getting all too ready to leave

We stay in silence and I sense his aura is definitely angry, as well as annoyed

And sad

This whole thing was confusing for both of us, neither of us wanted to admit it

But we liked eachother a little too much, but were we allowed to?

This was the bit we were angry at, I can see that, but I still didn't want to bring it up

"You told him you were cordelias angel?"

I look up at Micheal, the first to speak

"Yeah, I didn't want him to get the wrong impression, of us" I cough awkwardly at the end, but I change the subject

"He knows you're the antichrist?"

I say it with such casualness that it even surprises me, he only nods

Finally we make it outside, and I breathe in the fresh air as I stretch my arms, basking in the warmth

I see a black car ready, as well as some familiar faces of bodyguards and I smile

Before I go I feel a slight graze of my hand, a sign telling me to stay

I turn to look at Micheal, so many things left unsaid, so many things we need to do

I walk up closer to him, maintaining eye contact

"Where do we go from here?"

I blink slowly, what do we do? Is this something we can move past?

I didn't have the answer

I hold his arms and tug slightly, and he moves his head down slightly to greet my height,

I kiss his cheek, feeling tears already well up in my eyes

"I don't know"

That's all I can say before I start to walk to the car, god knows when I'd see him next

But... I now know who he is

-TIME SKIP-

I run as quickly as I can back to the house,  and see coco, Mallory, queenie and Zoe all together, they seem to be smiling and laughing

At least they're okay

Mallory is the first to see me, and smiles brightly as she goes for a hug

"Eve, I've missed you so much"

I eagerly hug her back, I missed her too, more than what I needed to admit

"Hi soulmate" I smile brightly at her,
"I need to see cordelia" I look at them all with worry in my eyes, this changes everything

Zoe chimes in "she's upstairs, with Madison" I nod as I go upstairs

I burst into the room she was in, and I see her with Madison and Behold, before I can even wait I blurt it out

"He's the antichrist" I pant slightly, jeez I should work out

Madison looks at me before rolling her eyes back to Cordelia

"Yeah, he's that"
