My Death Angel

All i know is that i'm not ready to die just yet. People always say that u have an Angel watching over you, that everyone has their own gardian of sorts. I don't believe that i ever got one.

My world died when I was about 5. That was the age I got to witness my parents murder by a madwoman. They never caught her, but that never scared me. What haunted my nightmares was what she said to them when she thought no one could hear her. "Come with me to Insanity, Slip the knife into your Life, and follow me into Darkness." Then she ripped them apart, literally, and wrote on the wall in HER blood. 'Tick Tock There Clocks Just Stopped' I remember her laugh. I hate when i say this but her voice was beautiful, her hand writing magical, and her laugh as she left with their hearts in her hand was pure gold.

It has been 13 years now, memories of my parents long gone. I can still remember her though, not her phisical apperance, but her voice. I wake up screaming at night for her to let them be. I cry in the middle of the day at random thought placed in my head. Some times I even have a panick-attack. I just want ONE normal day, ONE normal relationship, and ONE real person to trust. I guess thats why i was so open to them, maybe that was her plan all along.

********************* MEETING AVRIL AND DEVIN ***************************

I was at yet another stupid day at school. Teachers were horrible, students were worse. I was in 3rd period i think it was when the new girl walked in. Black hair, blue eyes, pale skin, were the first things i noticed. The teacher had asked her why she was late and she simply replied with, 'I was walking my brother to his class on the other side of the school. I'm sorry i"m late though.' After this she went to the only empty desk, which was next to me. I looked at her and she looked at me. For the rest of the class all i could think about was her and what her name might be. I tried so many names in my head that might be hers, but to me none of them were compatible with her. I finally asked during the free time before the bell to signal class was over rang. All she said to me was 'Avril.'

The period after and the next had no meaning to me. All i could thing about was how beautiful her name sounded when said like that. During lunch I looked for her, and finally found her with a guy i had never seen before. I guessed that he was her brother. I walked over and she noticed me half way through my walk. 'Hey Mike.' simple words. 'This is my twin Devin, Devin this is Mike.' He didn't say anything. Now that i think about it, Devin never really said anything.

We talked, laughed, she even got me to smile... My first smile in a long time.

*********************************** TAKING HIM AWAY*********************************

I had know the both of them for about a year when everything happened. One day Avril and Devin didn't come to school and that really startled me because Avril was obessed with good grades and such that you get at school. They didn't come the next day either, or the one after that, or the one after that. Finally it had been about a month of no sign of them when Avril walked to the school with tear stains on her face. I pulled her in to a closet and asked her what was wrong, all she said was that Devin had been missing for a few days before she went to look for him. While looking for her twin she gotten lost and had to find her way back and come home to no sign of her brother anywhere. I told her we could look for him around town after school was over but for now that we should go to my house because she looked like she needed to sleep.

After a week of looking for him together we went back to her and Devin's house. I had never been there before, but i never minded. Both of them were pretty closed off to anyone, telling me numerous times that I was the only one they had let in for a very long time.

When we walked in we heard a crash up stairs. I told Avril to stay down stairs while i went and looked for the falled object. What i found horrified me. Devin was laying in a pool of his own blood, his chest wide open for me to see all of his organs but i noticed a vital one missing. His heart. I threw up because of the site. After i was done i looked up at the wall behind him. I saw the words that i will never forget. 'Run, Run Little Man. I Can Catch You No Matter Where You Stand' My heart stopped. My mind was numb. Nothing was real. All of this was some messed up nightmare, right? That madwoan could not have followed me all these years and then murder one of my only friends in cold blood could she? The only thing that made it real was the blooy-curtling scream that was ripped out of Avril's chest as she saw her brother, her TWIN'S dead body.

**********************************YEARS AFTER**************************************

It's been about 3 years. Avril still has nightmares. I try to keep her safe but i don't even feel safe any more. The madwoman is watching us. Waiting for us to make a mistake. I just want to live happily with my love. Is that to much to ask for? Avril and I have gotten married since then. I never leave her alone. I'm starting to hear singing. Only bits at a time, but i still hear it. Last week was the first.' Come with me....' The night after i heard. 'To insanity'. I don't know why but sounds so familiar.

Yesterday i was taking Avril to work when i heard.'Slip the knife.' Now i'm getting scared. Everywhere i am i always look over my shoulder. I have asked Avril about the voice but she only looks at me and then looks away like i'm going crazy. Maybe i am and i just can't relize it. Today i heard 'Into your life.' That was about an hour ago.

Right now i'm in the kitchen getting a drink when i hear a crash just like that night 3 years ago. I grab a knife, determind to help Avril, knowing that the crash had something to do with her. As i made my way upstairs i heard, 'And follow me into darkness.' I walk into our bed room.... And the same seen from those years ago is played before me. Only this time, the love of my life is in the blood. I can see that she still has her heart but i looks funny. I walk over numb and look at it with tears in my eyes. MY name is carved into her heart. I fall to the ground shaking, holding her to me, begging her to wake up. Knowing that she won't.

I look up to the wall to see HER. "Why?!!?!?!?!?? Why are you doing this?!?!??!?!?" She only smiled, she only looked at me, she didn't even try to hide her joy.

"You will never be able to hide from me. Where ever you go i will find you. I will watch over you until my last heart beat as all these people have. And anyone who gets in my way will not live to hurt you my dear. I only want to protect you as an Angel would." With that she left walking past me and placing a kiss only my cheek. I recognise the subtance on her lips as Avril's blood. I think about what she said to me. How she compared her self to an Angel. Only she is not a Gardian Angle, sent from above to protect the ones who need it the most. No. A title to suit her would be.... Angel of Fate. Not even that. She is a Death Angel.
