Golden angel

Safe haven

I opened my eyes and looked around. it was gorgeous. I was laying down on sand in front of what looked like a lagoon and it was clear as glass. the sun though it was high in the sky was a rich golden. there were a lot of willow trees that had golden flowers. I looked to the front and saw a figure. I squinted my eyes but the figure remained a blur. I got up slowly and walked forward. my foot slipped through the clear water. it was weirdly warm, I made my wings flap a little bit then I walked forward and this time my foot stayed on the water.

As I was walking I remembered everything that happened the night before and looked down. I changed again. I was barefoot and I had a sleeveless white dress on that reached just above my knees. it hugged my chest and puffed out on the bottom. I had a gold band on my right bicep and a lot of gold bracelets trailing up my left arm. My hair instead of curly and crazy, it was in a braid and up in a high ponytail. I was so involved in my thoughts of who the hell changed me that I hadn't noticed I was right behind the person. apparently he hadn't noticed either. I tapped the persons shoulder softly.

He turned around and I gasped. he couldn't have been more than twenty five he had long blond curly hair that reached over his eyes and could touch his nose. his skin was a milky white and his eyes, oh his eyes, were dark at first but when I looked closer they were rainbow coloured. His wings were huge, magnificent, and screamed authority. they changed colours every two seconds. I looked at him breathlessly. "who are you?" his eyes filled with tears as his arms wrapped around me tightly as if he was scared I would disappear.

"Oh my god I've missed you... so much." I pulled away and looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"I asked a question. who are you?" he smiled sweetly at me.

"You're so much like your mother. my name is Cassius arty," my heart broke and my eyes filled with tears as I looked up at him. "Arty, I'm your father." I looked in his eyes to see if I could Find some kind of humor but to no avail. I let out a sob and I wrapped my arms around his waist because that's how tall he was.

I buried my head in his chest and sobbed for a little while. and then I said something that I think changed my life forever. "I've been wanting to say this ever since my father left but I never realised that I've been wanting to say it to the wrong person." I looked up at him and said with all the emotion I had in me. "daddy, I missed you." the tears spilled on his face but he remained solid. he quickly wiped his tears and pulled away from me.

He held out his hand to me and smiled. "you're probably tired, we should go back to the palace." I just looked at him.

"You're telling me that you live in a palace yet you decided to leave me to rest on a beach?" he looked at me and chuckled.

"You're so much like your mother. the palace is only for living, angels don't sleep but since you're half human you have needs that have to be met." I nodded understandingly and we walked.

It was only a two minute walk but we finally got there. the palace was not as big as I thought it would be. And here I was thinking the palace was gonna be some Cinderella shit. I thought.

My father looked at me and burst out laughing. I looked at him and blushed. "wait did I say that out loud?" he chuckled and nodded.

The castle was as big as a mansion and it looked like one too. it was a bronze color and it was three stories high. I looked at Cassius. "you live here alone?"

"No," he shook his head. "I live here with a select few." he said with a secretive smile. he walked on and I stayed behind.

At the door he noticed I wasn't behind him. he looked at me smiled. "C'mon sweetheart the people won't bite." I just looked at him with a sarcastic expression and flew over there. he looked at my, asking for my permission as he put his hand on the doorknob. I nodded and he pushed the door open.

I already caught on to the pattern. the walls, ceiling and floor were a pure white and everything else is either gold or bronze. I looked at my father. "Where's the bathroom." he looked at me and smiled.

"Any room," I shot him a look so he continued. "that's why I call it a palace and not a mansion. if you open a door and imagine what you want like a bathroom a suite or even another hallway of doors it appears behind the door you selected but you have to have your hand on the door." I smiled and walked to a random door.

I imagined a huge bathroom and when I opened the door it was there! I looked at my dad for a moment before I slowly walked in. I looked around until I found what I wanted. a body length mirror. I slowly walked to it and stared at the lady looking back at me. she glowed with happiness as she stared at me with wonder filled eyes. my eyes instead of a dark rainbow color you could see the kaleidoscope of colors clearly because my eyes were so bright and my cheeks were flushed but in a cute way. I looked down at my lips and smiled even wider. I have dimples! I didn't have dimples before. they were huge and on either side of my heart shaped face. I looked at my black wings and frowned. if I'm the only one with black wings then who's not going to be suspicious? I bit my lip as I looked at my wings. then I got an idea. I grabbed the top of each wing and pulled down and crossed them. when I looked up i was satisfied.

My wings crossed over my dress making my dress look like a short long dress and it looked sweet. I opened the door and looked around. my dad wasn't there. "dad?" no answer. I screamed louder. "Dad!" still no answer.

"What's your dads name?" I gasped and turned around. time stopped as we looked at each other. and all I could think was, and I thought Marc was beautiful until I saw him. he was breathtakingly beautiful. he had gold skin literally it looked like he was painted kind of like mine but his skin is a little lighter. his silver hair reached his earlobe and his eyes were a shiny bronze. they reminded me of shiny new pennies and they gave me goosebumps.

"Cassius." he gasped and looked at me.

"No way it can't be you." he looked at me up and down. "Arty?" I nodded my head. "you remember me?" I shook my head and he ran his hand through his already tussled hair. "my name is Daniel we used to be best friends." As I looked at him I felt an overwhelming pain form at the back of my head. Dizziness is a bitch, was the last thing that ran through my mind as I collapsed and everything went black.
