The..ermm.. Angel pats Emily and Emily nudges her head friendly against her. Have they met before? Can the angel talk? Why is she here. Questions are flooding my head all at once.
"Hello dear." She says softly looking at me in an lovingly way.
I try to get over the shock and discover my mouth is hanging open. Oops! Well done April!
"You're April aren't you my dear?" She asks, her voice gentle.
"Y-yes. How do you ermm know my name?" I stutter while trying to be polite.
"Oh darling, I'm an angel of course I know your name!" She replies laughing slightly in a friendly fashion.
Well she's definitely an angel then.
"And why are you here? If you don't mind me asking." I say still getting over the state of awe I'm in.
"I am your horses angel. That's why I'm here."
"R-really? Emily has an angel?"
"Yes my dear. We are sent from the heavens above to protect. Not all of us appear to humans though. Some prefer to stay hidden from the human eye."
"Why?"
"A lot of angels feel that humans will try to capture them or just mock them. Not all people believe in angels as you know. This is mainly why, it isn't often we are seen."
"But I can see you? Why would people want to capture you? You seem lovely, if it's true of course that you're here to protect." I fire more questions at her.
"That's because I choose to be visible. Others are only visible to animals and some not to anyone. Who knows why? Some people believe we are really evil. They think we come to earth to capture people's souls. It's complete rubbish! We're not all dark! Guardian angels, like myself, only want to protect and lead people to their happiness."
"What do mean you're not all dark? What do dark angels do exactly? Are they real too? Are they the same as fallen angels, I've heard if them?"
"Sadly dark angels are real, so are fallen angels. Fallen angels aren't always that bad, people just think they are. Some fallen angels are just plainly broken and misunderstood, not all of them want to drag you under with them. Dark angels are the worst! They are similar to fallen angels, apart from these are always evil. However you can't always see them. They like to do their work secretly wrecking people's life's, slowly but surely. Most of the time no one will see them, you will have no clue if they have touched you. All you will know is that you're slowly falling apart." She explains thoroughly.
Emily moves over to me and snuggles her head into my arm. I stroke her back, I love her so much.
"What do they look like, what would happen if you saw them?" I ask curiously.
She sighs and says, "well they are mostly black. There wings are black as if they've been burned and covered in dust. It is a dreadful sight! if they were to show themselves to you they would normally screech. Their screech is the loudest most awful thing you could ever hear. Just seeing them could kill you."
"Can anything be done about them though? Like to stop them from ruining peoples lives?"
"Well long ago, centuries ago actually, someone tried to stop them. It was a tragic but true love story."
"And what happened? did it work? Is it possible to work?"
"I don't know if it is possible to stop all dark angels. Would you like me to tell you there story?" She asks in her soft and (literally) angelic voice.
"Yes please!"
