Chapter 2: Found

Chapter 2: Found

For years, the angel of death had serve the heaven without fail, guided and protected humans without question but it never occurred to him that temptation was too powerful for his own good.

Now, his black wings never cease to remind him that he no longer serve the heavens and yet he can't seem to find the urge to hate God for banishing him.

He knew the consequence before he succumb to the temptation but just because he's an angel doesn't mean he is immune to it just like the humans.

The Angel of Death broke only one rule but it was enough reason for him to be sent to hell.

Killing. Yes, that is the sin he had committed unless you know the other side of the story.

Truth be told, the reason he committed the sin was to protect a human's life.

He willingly did the act of taking one's life even though he very well understood that he was interfering with fate and he was also well aware that his punishment would led to where he is today.

And yet he never regret his actions from the day he was banish, for he knew deep inside that what he had done was right but eventually he did.

He slowly regretted his decisions and actions since the day he met her.

The dark haired beauty with mysterious grey eyes.

He never thought that God would bestow him such precious gift especially since he, who was once a pure angel, had befallen to darkness.

After he found her back then, he never wanted to let go of those tiny hands, for him to always look at her mesmerizing eyes, to watch her grow into a beautiful young lady and most of all, he wanted to keep her by his side even though he can't.

The memory of their first meeting still lingered in his head as if it was just yesterday making him smile whenever he thought of her.

Days turned to months, months turned to years making the angel of death restless and crazy for not seeing her that eventually he couldn't hold it anymore.

And so the angel of death searched every where just to find her but eventually there was no sign of her.

Frustrated, the angel flew to the nearest mountain to vent all his pent up emotions.

When the angel of death reach the mountains, he landed a few meters from the waterfalls.

The gushing sound of the water had always help the angel to be calm in some ways.

Cautiously, he observes his surroundings and when he felt that no one's there.

He snap his fingers to disguise himself into a mortal.

It always hurts him whenever his wings have to be inserted in his body.

With cracking bones here and there, the angel of death slowly walk towards the waterfall.

The forest swayed with the gentle wind as the crickets and fireflies made it more mysterious and enchanting as one pass by.

How he wanted to roam the forest and to spend more time with her but he can't do such things since it's one of the perks of being an angel of death.

Sighing, he stop in his tracks and closed his eyes as he massage his temple.

'Remembering her too much does not help my case at all' he thought

Not before long, he heard the rustles of leaves and snaps of the twigs.

Still the angel of death didn't move nor opened his eyes.
