Beyond The Golden Gate

Chapter 4.

Annabelle's POV

I stare at Conner like he was a person that just escaped the looney bin. I mean you would do the same thing if you were me at the moment, so you can't really blame me. Conner was looking back at me with his bright green eyes that looked worried he was expecting me to start freaking out on him and call the looney bin place. (A/N: I don't know the places name)

"Say something, don't just stand there and stare at me like I'm some kind of a manic," he says hopefully.

I laugh, "if your gonna make up something like that then do something that actually exists, Conner."

Conner's jaw drops to the floor, "What?! How can you not believe me?!" He shouts, baffled.

"Conner, those things only exist in fairy tales, not real life," I say, shaking my head at him like he is a child.

"Let me show you then," Suddenly there is a bright blue light surrounding Conner starting from his feet to his head. After it goes away, there is Conner but different. His black hair and bright green eyes are still there, but this time he has big white wings behind him attached to his back, he has a gold halo above his head and a sheath for a sword with a golden handle sticking out of it I could see a little bit of sliver. I stood there staring at Conner with my jaw this time on the floor.

"There is no way that is real, is it?" I say, closing my eyes and opening them again to see if they wings, halo and sword with sheath is still there. They were.

Conner laughs, "look," I look at him and I see the wings flap and Conner smiling like a manic. "Now do you believe me?"

I nod, cracking a smile. "That is actually pretty cool. How long have you been an angel?" I ask. Conner smiles.

"I've been an angel since the year 1882," He says, frowning. "I died from tuberculosis when I was 17. If you were wondering how old I am? I am 17 right now."

"So, angels never age after they die?" I ask.

"Yeah we never age, this is how it works if you died from after you were born-4, you go to the age of 5. If you died in between ages 5 and 65 you stay the that age forever, but if above 65, you go to the age of 65. Cool isn't it, Belle?" Conner informs.

I nod, "yeah that is, so basically you are forever young, lucky duck."

Conner laughs, "so how old are you?"

"16," I answer, smiling.

"Have you ever wondered what it will be like to fly, Belle?" Conner questions me.

"With or without an airplane?" I ask.

"Without," he says.

"Yeah I have always wondered what it will be like to fly, why?" I confirms.

"Then in that case, I want you to meet someone." He says, "Pride!!!" Conner screams.

I hear a neigh that came from a horse. I look around trying to find the animal, because if I do recall there is no farms around this area so I do find it weird that there is a horse nearby. I hear the flapping of a pair of wings and look up, what I saw was something I never expected in my whole life to see. In the sky, getting ready to land right beside Conner was a beautiful white female horse with a black diamond shaped spot on her forehead, 4 black socks on her legs, 3 black splotches of different sizes on her body, big brown eyes, white wings attached to her back and a gold halo above her head. She lands with grace and nudges Conner with her head.

"Belle meet Pride, beautiful isn't she?" He asks.

"Yeah she is, how old is she?" I ask.

"Pride is 6 years old," he answers. I smile at the both of them.

"So, about the one day trip, when will we leave?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

"How about tomorrow morning first thing after breakfast?" Conner says.

I nodded, "perfect, that will give me time to pack some stuff for the trip."

He smiles, nodding. "Wonderful, I'll meet you here in the morning. See you till then, Belle." Conner then gets on Pride and waves at me, "bye Belle!" Pride starts running off, flapping her wings lifting the two of them off the ground and into the air.

I wave back at Conner and smile to myself, I turn to go back to the road I was walking on before I met Conner and Pride and continued on to the orphanage and pack for my adventure that is about to begin.
