-------------------------

We walked through never-ending passageways, and down trillions of stairs, but the look on Ariel's face as he stared straight ahead told me not to complain– or talk in general. He wasn't blinking whenever I turned to look at him and the only sound that came off of him was the sound of his shoes hitting the floor. 

I couldn't even hear his breathing. 

Wait. Do angels even have to breathe?

As I was thinking about that Ariel opened a door that seemed to appear out of nowhere and held it open so that I could walk in first. Cautiously, I looked over to the bright light that filled the opening and stepped in, automatically feeling myself relax and smile– comfort and calmness taking over my senses. 

Once my eyes adjusted to this place I looked around the perimeter, jaw dropping at it's beauty. 

The grass was a bright, rich green and was growing several different types of bright-colored flowers. There was a small, but definitely beautiful, waterfall to my right and a little lake right in front of it– the water so clean that it had a vibrant blue color and detailed reflections of whatever was above it . There weren't any bugs from what I could see, but there were little bunnies and squirrels here and there, bouncing and walking around slowly with no care in the world.

This place looked so unreal. It was nothing like on Earth. If I was at a regular park or something and a squirrel or bunny saw me it would run for it's life, a survival instinct. But these guys just... stared at me. Not scared or worried at all. 

"Where are we?" I asked in amazement, looking over to him with excited eyes. He looked a little upset as he looked into the distance, but as soon as he turned to glance at me a softened look took over his face and he sighed- a weird emotion crossing his face. 

"You have no idea how beautiful you look," Ariel said to me with a smile, making heat trail up my body from embarrassment. 

"Thanks, I guess," I murmured as I looked down, just to realize I had a different outfit on. I held back a gasp as I looked at the beautiful gown. It was floor-length and flowy, going only over one shoulder- leaving the other shoulder bare. Kind of like an early Roman Empire dress, but the white was so bright and pale that it gave off a shine, almost blinding me. I lifted my dress, to see that I was barefoot- my legs flawless, no dirt what-so-ever on them. 

Giving Ariel a quick grin I ran over to where the spring was and tilted my head over to look at my face. I was left speechless. 

I never thought my face could look so naturally beautiful and innocent. My dark brown hair was spilling over my shoulders, curls looking like they took hours to make. I had a beautiful hair pin comb attached above my right ear, leaving my face open to look at. My brown eyes looked bright and full of excitement, literally glittering in the reflection of the water. My lips had a light pink pigment that look surprisingly natural, and my skin was a little bit more tan than it normally was. 

Needless to say, I felt like a princess. And I never wanted to leave this place or this look again. 

"What happened to me?" I said quietly, feeling Ariel's presence right behind me. 

"You how when you turn into a demon you have claws and fangs? Well, this is basically what you would look like as an angel. I thought you would want to know," he murmured, sounding slightly apprehensive.
