The King of Pop Is My Guardian Angel

My Dream*

I fall asleep in Michael's arms. I have a nightmare where Nicole is hanging from a cliff. "Help me you worthless piece of shit!" On the brink of death with me as her only lifeline,she still has the audacity to be rude to me. I consider walking away,but finally I pull her up. She thanks me quietly,then with a malicious grin,she shoves me over the side. As I'm falling,the figure changes from Nicole to a man. The one thing I hear before I plummet into darkness is the bone-chilling laugh. I jolt awake with Michael staring at me. "What?" I say quietly. I repeat it louder,with more confidence. "Jade. I want to tell you something. As your guardian angel,I can see your dreams and nightmares. But also as an angel,I'm powerless in your nightmares." I'm confused. "So?" "Do you know who or....in better terms,what that was? On the cliff?" "No,I've never seen that man before in my life." "You wouldn't. That was Seth,the Devil's apprentice. If he appears in your dreams,well,let's just say Seth is not the kind of guy you'd hang out with." "So lemme get this straight,this Seth thing,because he appeared in my nightmare means he's out to get me? Why? What did I do?" "That's the thing. It's not what you've done. It's what you're gonna do." "So he can look into my future?" "Yes. And I can only look in your past." "M-my p-past?" If only he can take me into the past. I would love to see Dad again." "Can you take me?" Michael looks at me questioningly. "Take you where? The past?" I nod. He shakes his head. "You can only go if you're dead. And by dead I mean angel dead. So no,you can't commit suicide." He can read my mind too? "And answer in it." Michael says. "So what are we gonna do about Seth?" "Honestly there's nothing we can do unless we finish my business. Then I go back to Heaven and he'll go back to Hell. See,there's this thing about balance. Since I'm a pure angel,then it's only fair to let out a pure devil. His job is to find and kill me then open the gateway to Hell. Now why he's after you is a mystery." "Michael I think I know why." I say quietly
