" So do you have magic powers and stuff?" Lily asked with a grin leaning her head back against the couch. Their they sit on the couch a bottle of Lily's fancy wine on the table in front of them they decided it was a good time to open it up and start the conversation. She wanted to know everything about him now that she found out about him being a angel she's been asking him about himself for the last hour and a half she couldn't help herself it's not everyday you meet a angel. She found out so much already she learned he was like five million and fifty years old he did let her know he stopped keeping track at one point so he could be older. It was honestly a shock with how young he looked he told her most angels didn't age if an older person dead they would still become a young angel, angels usually looked the age of 20-30 year old children where able to stay the age they where when they passed. She also asked him about the confusing crescent shaped mark on her neck that she saw when she woke up he said he had know idea what it was...but when did she get it then? what even was it? " Yah actually I do have a few I can heal people, super strength, to be honest I have a lot being a angel I can basically have anything I want but it makes me weak if I use a lot of magic at once. And those big wings aren't just for show I can actually fly with them if I want". Wow what would it be like to have all those powers she thought it would be super cool to have wings " Is that how you did all that stuff on our date you used your magic?" she asks before sitting up looking over at him he nods his head " Did it drain you doing that? Alex you didn't have to do that for me" she says feeling slightly guilty even though she didn't really do anything wrong. He plays with the end of her hair " I was pretty drained afterwards I had to rest to refill my energy but don't worry I'm fine now it was totally worth it". She swallowed bitting her lip eyes running over his handsome face it was crazy she hasn't seen him in so long but he still just as good looking today he was wear a somewhat casual all white outfit fitted white shirt and white jeans he looked mouth watering right now. He laughed watching her look over him " So...how did you become a guardian angel" Lily asks timidly he gives her a pressed smile while look down " Well I want to worn you to become a guardian angel it takes sacrifice this isn't a happy story" she nods acknowledgment. He looks into the distance getting lost in memory "It was a cold winter night long ago my mom and dad where both passed out on our ratty old couch in our dingy little apartment after getting drunk and high off weed with their buddies for hours. I only turned 18 a few days before and finally had saved up enough money from working at my crappy job to get me and my 16 yr old sister both out of there for good..."

Flashback...
" Leave...Leave Alex we can't just leave mom and dad" I didn't look back at her as I pulled our bookbags out of our shared closet throwing them on the bed. I finally turned my head looking at her pace back and forth a big my eyes suddenly meet the nasty purple bruise around her left eye it only fueled my passion more to leave. Our father had a little to much to drink while I was at work when and when I came home seeing the bruise on my sister face I knew we had to leave...tonight. Reaching in draws I start pulling out random articles of clothes shelving them into the bags Alice wraps her small hands around my arms to stop me I gently push her off " Please Alex lets just think about this.." I quickly turn looking at her. I place my hands on her shoulders " Alice we can't stay here look at yourself your skin and bones your pale, stressed and tired...they are fucking killing you slowly Alice open your eyes to reality please..." I force myself to hold back the tears as I look into her big blue eyes. Giving her shoulder a squeeze I turn away lefting the old mattress pulling our passports out along with two plane tickets to New York it was far enough away to give us both the fresh start we need away from our parents away from all the drugs, alcohol and pain I could raise my sister the right way. Alice wiped away her tear "But...I'm scared I don't know how to be on my own how will we make money to survive?" she shakes her head looking down as I slide my phone into my bag along with my wallet, and passports. I throw one of the bags over my shoulder and hand the other to my sister she hesitantly it "Your not alone,Alice you have me and I'll protect you" I pull her into a tight hug truth be told I was scared to. I didn't tell her just a few days prior I overheard our parents talking about selling Alice some random gang member for a large some of money and drugs. The fact that they would sell their own child was disgusting to me I'm 18 and could have left at any time but I'm glad I didn't, I refuse to leave my sister alone in this place. There was no staying here in my mind we are leaving tonight " I already called a taxi I told them to pick us up a block away just in case so dress warm" I pulled her winter coat off the bed passing it to her she quickly puts it on as I put on my own. I let out a sigh facing our closed bedroom door " You know they aren't just going to let us leave right" Alice whispers I look back at her nodding " Yes I know" I face forward again slowly opening the door. I look at her holding my finger to my mouth signaling for her to keep it down we creep down the old stairs they creek under our wight but we continue onward. We finally make it to the door I put my hand on the knob about to turn " Where the hell you think you goin boi?" I cringe hearing my dad's drunk slur Alice grabs my other hand tightly. I don't answer frozen in place " Get yo ass back in this house" my mom stands wobbly on her heels looking like the morning after dress strap falling off her shoulder hair a blonde mess. I snap out of it swallowing hard before throwing the door open stepping the first foot outside " We got a lot riden on that girl boi...you can get the hell out but she stays" my sister lets out a shaky breath her tiny hand in mine begins to sweat even in the cold air. I pull her further outside down the steps " He told you to get back In here!!" my mom yells in a screeching voice with my father standing beside her " Don't make me hit you again girl I don't wanna bruise the merchandise anymore but I will put you in your place if I have to" he said in a threatening manner I look back at him with cold eyes " She's not going back inside we are leave now" at the moment he was staring me down like he wanted to kill me but I honestly didn't give a fuck. I pull Alice behind my back as I face them as my mom yelled all sorts of profanities at me I saw my dad reaching for the side of his pants my eyes widen as he pulls out the cold metal gun "Alice run..." I whisper taking a step back making her stumble slightly "Huh" she whispers looking around me at our dad holding his gun. I quickly turn "Run Alice Run!!" grabbing her hand I pull her across the street with me through the woods across from our home. Faintly I could hear my mom yell " Well what's your ass waiting for go get them!" before hearing fast foot steps following behind us my breath comes out as pants at I push myself to run harder snow crunchy under our feet. My face gets cut up by branches as I push them out our path my feet come to a quick stop as we come across a frozen lake I look back into the woods behind us out of breath but starting to hear the sound of random gun fire "Shit" I whispers looking back at the lake it was to dark for me to tell if it was fully frozen or not. But they didn't have any other options they had to across the frozen lake "Alex I can't do this...i.i." Alice says in a shaky voice looking towards the ice "I'll go first ok just follow my steps alright we'll be fine" she swallowed nodding I make my first step into the to ice it cracks underneath my foot slightly. I look back at Alice letting out a breath slowly taking off my back passing it to her "Hold onto this for me just in case" I whisper the last part setting my other foot onto the ice at the moment it seemed able to hold my wight. Her eyes widen as we start to make our way across "In case what?" she questioned but I didn't feel it necessary to relay I didn't want to put in her head that we both may not make it. Our dad finally makes it out of the woods to the edge of the lake glaring toward them " You don't wanna to this boy get back over here NOW" we make our way across the ice as quickly and carefully as possible the ice cracking every few inches. At this point I was very aware that the ice was not solid any hard impact would send them both into the freezing cold water. Their dad holds up his gun towards them " Now boy I'll give you to the count of 3 to get over here before I shot and drag you back home" my eyes widen as I look back as him focusing his gun on them "1" they still had a few feet till they where to the other side. Alice looks at their dad before looking up me "Alex what to we do" my heart was pounding in my chest as I looked down at her "2" tears roll down Alice cheeks as she squeezed my arm "Alex I don't want to die!" she yells as I noticed my mom come up beside my dad shaking him Alex wasn't sure if she was telling him to stop or go ahead and take the shot whatever the case he doesn't lower his gun "Then live" I whisper just as our dads gun goes off with a bone chilling bang. I grab the front of Alice's coat tightly throwing her making her slide the rest of the way across the thin ice cracking along the way she lands into a thick snowbank looking at me with watery sorrowfulled eyes before the bullet is shot right through my ribs I let out a scream in pain my body falls slamming through the ice into the frozen water. It shatters around me the freezing water covers my body as I struggle to stay afloat with my thick layers of clothes getting heavy. At one point I try to push up for air only to be met with ice over head I beat one of my fists against it lungs burning for air. I faintly hear Alice yelling for me finally I find the hole I fell through my head breaks the water surface for a split sec "Go Alice GO...Taxi Go!" I feel my body get weaker and weaker heavier and heavier sinking deeper into the water I hear a few more pops from the gun along with foot steps running before complete darkness consumes me.

Flashback end..
He turn turns his eyes back to her giving a soft sad smile that didn't fully reach his eyes " So that's how I died" his voice was filled with pain. Lily heart dropped in her chest for him " I'm sorry sorry Alexander" she whispers she understood nothing she said would have made him feel better. It must have been hard to grow up in that type of environment " It's alright it was long ago" he whispers looking to the side a moment. Sure Lily only had one parents but it was nothing compared to what Alex and his sister went through. Silent fill the room a moment before Lily continues with her questions " So...um no more disappeared right?" she asked trying to lighten the mood he lets go of the end of her hair looking at her " I don't know Lily I'll still be your angel but I don't know if I can be around you I could turn human or worse who knows what could happen." he let his voice trial off there was still so much uncertainty. She pouts knowing it's the truth " Your right...Um did you know that demon that attacked me" she quickly change the subject feeling slightly hurt " Lily don't brush it off like that, we'll find a way around it I wouldn't just disappear don't worry and no I didn't know the demon Lily demon's and angels don't hang out" rolling his eye with a smirk on his lips. He laughed softly she hits him softly in the arm grinning she guess that was a pretty dumb question " I'm just wondering why he was trying to drag me back to hell liiiike it's so random why would he want me?" Alex shakes his head he honestly didn't know what the demon could want with Lily. It's not like she was someone with supernatural abilities or had connections to the world of angels and demon's she was just a normal woman Lily did tell him that before the demon was tried to take her through the portal he was acting as if someone else hired him to get her and bring her back to hell but still who would do that and why? It's not like he could ask the high council about it they already advised him against being around her and honestly it seemed like they didn't have much information to go on. He didn't want to scare her with the uncertainty she was having so he told her something that he did know " Don't worry Lily anything that comes your way I'll be here right beside you...no matter the consequences". She smiles feeling slightly reassured but still mostly overwhelmed with what has happened to her life she always lived a pretty simple life but ever since meeting Alexander everything has changed and she didn't every know if that demon would try to come and get her again. At least she had Alex around to protect her but...at what cost..what was the real risks for him being around her so much she guess they would have to take it one step at a time. But they just had to be some way for her to protect herself because it's pretty obvious pepper spray won't do the trick " Is there anyway way to protect myself from those demon's" she asks as picks up his glass of wine off the table taking a long sip "I don't like this idea Lily". He didn't really want her to know about the world he lived in once you know about the supernatural community it could become a dangerous thing " Alex we are already in this now I have to have something to protect myself when your not around or your busy with angel business" he sigh because he knows it was true. He couldn't be around her 24/7 sometimes he may have other matters to attend to " Ok but I'm not leaving you here your coming with me tonight so I hope you'll be ready" he say swirling the wine in his glass she raised a eyebrow " Ready for what? Where are we going?" he looks at her over the brim of his glass taking the last big gulp of wine " To meet a few witches"
