*Shadow*
I feel so very close to the small child named Lilac. She is wonderful and beautiful. Her brother Drane has still been trying to get me to date him, and I have to keep letting him down gently. I feel that if I am too harse I will no longer be allowed to stay with them, and I have yet to figure out a way to get to Crimson City to save the life of the man I love.
I remember the very moment that I had seen him. His shaggy flaming red hair with bright yellow tips that are completely natural. Match that with his cat green eyes and perfect straight and white teeth. He is a picture of perfection in this world. He gets whatever he wants and I know that for a fact. When women look at him, they see a man that they desire above all else.
But he doesn't seem to mind the attention, and I have to sigh at that. He doesn't understand that he could find love. I remember the moment when I first appeared in front of him. He was a beautiful sight, and I couldn't believe that his past is so harsh.

It was a warm night in Crimson City and I had been watching him longingly. When I had gotten up enough courage to appear to him, I found that he was sleeping on his couch, a towel wrapped losely around his waist. I could feel my heart begin beating rapidly. He was just so beautiful.
It was easy to understand why women loved his looks so much. But I wish that he knew how much he actually means to someone, and that someone being me. I knew even back then that he had a wish to die, and I knew that I had to do whatever I could to try and save him from himself. Yet I also knew that there wasn't really a way for me to do that.
While I was lost in my own thoughts, he had awoken. I suddenly was thrown back into the real world and was met by his beautiful cat green eyes.He stared at me in wonder, and I knew why. The glorious glow that used to surround me before i was kicked out from Heaven, was always so wondeful.
After my few moments of shock ended, I snapped my gaze away from his. I wasn't supposed to be doing this, and I began to fade out of his view, and in no time, I was back in Heaven. I didn't allow myself to think about him, or watch over him like I used too.
~end of flashback~
But the day that I decided too, was also the day that I got caught and exhiled from my home. The day I was told to save his life so that I can earn my way back into Heaven, when I was told to destroy my heart so that he can live a full life. And I do plan on saving him because I want him to live the life he deserves.
I sigh and lay back on the couch. Lilac and Jaman have gone out, he had said she must learn to hunt. Drane works away in the kitchen and I had decided to try and gain some rest. Lately I have been over tired, always thinking of Theo. I am so out of it that I do not notice that Drane has entered the living room. His weight causes the couch to dip slightly, and I open my eyes in surprise.
"Hello Shadow. How are you?" his voice is friendly and I try my best to relax. I feel uneasy being alone with him in this house. "I am okay. Trying to find a way to Crimson City." I tell him the honest truth, and his faces drops, sadness clear in his eyes. "You are going to leave us?" I nod my head and I watch as a tear rolls down his cheek. "It is why I have come here, my dear Drane. It is my purpose, my destiny, to go to Crimson City."
He nods his head and goes to stand. "I can drive. I can take you there. But you must promise me something." I glance up at him, concern strong in my viens. What is it that he will ask of me? "What is that?" my eyes gaze up into his and he sighs. "Promise me that you will take Lilac with you. Father does not like her, and wishes that she was a he. She deserves a better life. Please give her that life."
What he has asked of me takes me by surprise and I stare blankly at him. He wants me to take his sister somewhere better, to a better life. How will I be able to provide for her? I surprise myself by agreeing. "Okay, I will give her a life that she will surely be happy in."
