GUARDIAN|M.LANGDON

PART 23| FOUR

"Don't make me choose" I was a mess, she had been so understanding recently of this, and my feelings

So why the sudden change?

She clears her throat "oh trust me, I won't" and she takes my hand, forcing me to go with her, I can only look back at Michael before she takes me

I'm sorry

-TIME SKIP-

We make our way to the car, and immediately I scream at her

"Why would you do that? You promised me , you can't make me choose"

It gets heated "so you would rather be with a murderer? A liar? Than your own family?"

I bounce back "I'd rather get the ability to choose!"

"Well guess what Eve? earth doesn't fucking work that way"

"Who are you to tell me what the fuck I can do?"

"Because I'm your fucking mother!"

I stop, she sees herself as my mother? I admit we were close, she was motherly

But not my mother

"I pity you" is all I say, and she looks up at me
"I pity that you have to reflect your insecurities on me, you are not my mother, you don't have kids,
A mother would listen to their kids, a mother would realize that this is more than just boy trouble, you are making me choose between the person I want to be, and the person I have to be,
You are not a mother

So stop trying to be one"

I get out the car and go to the house, not waiting for her to come as well, and I lock myself in my room, breaking down in tears, god knows how long I stayed there

And god knows how long I will

-TIME SKIP-

Four days I stayed in my room
Four days until I moved
Four days until I had a reason to go

I had been sat in one spot, looking out my window, I hadn't eaten, I hadn't slept

I just waited
I thought nothing would happen, I might die here, I locked my door

They tried to get in of course, but I was stronger
Even starving and tired I was strong

The day I moved wasn't of my accord, it wasn't something I expected or wanted
But it was something I needed

I stayed on the side of my bed, looking out the window, when something appeared

"Eve" a deep voice was heard beside me, someone I recognized

I looked to him, almost believing this was a hallucination

But it wasn't

"Gabriel?" I maintained eye contact with him, for him to be here...

Would've meant a lot

"Why are you here?" He grabbed my face softly, wiping hair out my face

"Can you not feel why Eve? He's hurt, you have to go help him

It's your purpose"

I knew what he was talking about, this pain that had been in my chest, it felt like someone had tied rope to my heart and was trying to pull me, I nearly went

But I stayed put

I see Gabriel get up to walk out the door, but I stop him

"Why am I his guardian angel? He's the antichrist"

Gabriel looks at me, and smiles

"But he's human, you need to decide how to protect him, your choices, will be the hero of them all"

"So change it, and change his destiny to save him"
"Change it"

I shudder and nod, immediately standing up to get ready, I wouldn't expect people to see their guardian angels looking like... this, so I took a quick shower and got changed

And I bolted out the house
I heard commotion behind me as I made my way down the stairs, but the dragging sensation in my chest was more urgent

I needed to save him

-TIME SKIP-

I was brought to a forest, a bit far away from where passerbys would wonder

I was trying to look, and I had almost given up, when I saw him

He was kneeling, in a ring
A pentagram

But he wasn't alone, at first I saw a young boy and girl, clad in white

The cherubs are here? They seemed to be offering him food and drinks

I then thought back to how long I had been feeling this tug in my chest

Four days? He's been here, for four days? Completely alone?

The next I saw, was a man, with black hair and large white wings

Archangel Raphael?

This is what pulled me forward, why was Raphael here? As I stepped closer, I could feel the energy change

To be in his presence, my brother
I had no control, I felt my rejuvenation, energy flowing through me

I had come here as a human, but I'm here now as an angel

I felt my wings drag behind me, an elegance followed with it as I walked to Raphael

"Leave us" is all I say as Raphael looks to me, he grabs my hand and nods, as everything else disappeared

I looked at Michael, who had been alarmed by them, I could hear him shouting several paces away

"Micheal?" He looked up at me, he looks so so rough, hungry and tired

"You're not real"

I knelt down, making sure I wasn't in the pentagram

"I am" I sniffled as he came closer to me

"Micheal, please just, break this.... this circle" I felt almost repulsed to be by it, I couldn't touch him as long as it was here

Just one small opening

He hesitated for a moment, looking at me, obviously unsure if I was actually here, and I even questioned if he was going to

Would he still? After everything that happened?

He finally changes position, doing this he kicks off on the marking, breaking the circle

I don't think twice as I lunge towards him, wrapping my arms around him as I squeeze tightly

"I'm here, I've got you, You're okay, you're not alone" I kept repeating these words, anything to make him realize that I'm here

He slowly starts to wrap his arms around me, at first he just touches my entire back, as if he was making sure I was actually there

"Eve?"
