The Angel Of Death

Chapter 1

My life in heaven was not a hard life, but then again it could not be compared to easy either, I had my studies (believe it or not angels do have school) but I hated to go to them, they were a waste of time and my energy, I could be doing so much better, for instance learning exactly what my gift is all about. I was always found at my favourite spot, the balcony looking over to the earth. "I knew I would find you here." A deep voice behind me made me know exactly who it was. "Hello Gabriel."

I didn't look at him but then again I didn't need to. "You were not present again."

"I know that."

"Cayta, we go over this every time."

"I know and where does this conversation usually go?"

He sighed. "You are so much like my brother."

"What? Stubborn?"

"No, a pain."

I quickly changed the subject. "DO you ever wonder what it is like down there, on earth?"

Gabriel seemed to soften as I turned to look at him, he put his hands behind his back where his wings spread in front of them. "No Cayta, I do not, I guess I enjoy my life so much up here that I do not think of life down there."

My foot dangled over the edge feeling the air on my foot. "Yes but what about adventure?"

"Cayta, you already make my life full of danger why would I want adventure." I knew what he meant, he meant the incident when I learned to fly when I was young, I fell off a platform and he had to save me. He never lets that go.

I gave him a bored look. "I can already tell this conversation is coming to a close."

"Listen to me Cayta, you need to be at your lessons."

"I already know those things back and forth, ever since I was a child."

"Cayta, you have no control."

"I know that Gabriel, but no one has taught me control."

He sighed again. "You are so frustrating some times."

"Why? Because I am right? Admit it Gabriel you don't want me to know how because I want to be strong, and you want me to be as weak as possible."

I didn't even listen to the reply, I walked away before he said anything more, I walked to my chamber and shut the door, locking it from anyone coming in. "You were not at your studies again...why?"

I shuttered, his voice was the only one that scared me, that accent made it even worse for me. I turned and leaned against the chamber door, he looked down at that book that I had been reading, flipping through the pages. It was silent for what sounded like eternity. "Well?" He finally looked up but I wished he hadn't, his blue eyes sparked and his jaw popped. "Where were you, Cayta?"

"I was...looking over the balcony again." I could not lie to Michael, it was impossible. He finally stood up from the chair that he was in and looked down at me. "Cayta, you know what I am going to say."

"Yes I do and I wish you would save it because I know this backwards and forwards also."

He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "Cayta as your protector I am responsible for you."

"Then why don't you teach me Michael, I am not a child anymore."

Michael looked down at me and he gave me a smile of pity. "I keep forgetting that...I know that you are not a child anymore."

He raised my wrist up to his lips and kissed my wrist, a normal spot for me, it made my heart beat faster when he did. "Alright. If you're going to start learning control you need your rest. I suggest you get as much sleep as possible."
