At The Crest Of A Cloud

Chapter 3: Life Descision

Now that I know all these new emotions, I'm going to try out the good ones. There's a girl at the park who fell of the monkey bars. She's crying. Kinda like I was when I got attacked, but not as dramatic. I need to send someone to help her. Oh, there. Another little girl. "Go help the girl who fell." That's all I have to say. The child can't hear me, but she gets a feeling that she needs to help. Good. She goes over and asks if the girl who fell is okay. She is. 

I love helping the people in Boston. They listen as if they have nothing bad inside of them. I tell them to help, they do. I tell them to stop fighting, they forgive each other. 

I wish I could be down in Boston actually helping people. Wandering the streets, shopping with friends, eating delicious food, having parties, and playing with children. I wonder if Mother has ever let anyone visit their city. I have to ask.

"Mother, has anyone ever been able to visit their city then come back?" 

"Why do you ask Arabell?"

"Well, I was wondering if I could visit Boston."

"Arabell, listen. Once you leave the clouds, you are not able to return." She told me.

"Has anyone ever left?" 

"Yes. The previous Guardian of Boston left. That's is why I created you. Arabell, if you leave, Boston will have lost two very amazing Guardians, and I can't let that happen."

"But Mother, I wan't to explore. I wan't to play with children, and shop, and go to parties --"

"Arabell, enough." Mother snapped very loud at me. I have never heard her like that before. "I don't want you to leave. But, if that is your decision, then it shall be."
