"What's happening?? What is this sound coming from inside me?? Did I steal this poor girls voice?? Mom? Daddy? Where are you guys? Please I'm sorry I shouldn't have yelled at you! Please don't leave me hear alone! Help!! Help me!! Help!!"

I'm all alone. My parents, I must find them. I'm kneeling now as I realize there is someone standing above me.

As I raise my head he touches my shoulder. "Are you ok? Do you need help?"

I can see his real face but he is standing in front of me as if he were human.

"Who are you?" I ask trying keep my self protected.

"I am help. I will not harm you." Hesitating I say, "Um no, no thank you. I can find them myself."

"Them? Who's them?"

"I didn't say them. It's nothing I'm fine. Please let me be."

I start walking away quickly until he is out of site. I can't get his horrible twisted face out of my head. I have only heard rumors of faces like that, the face of a demon.

My legs hurt and are hard to move. The fat and flesh are new and uncomfortable.

"Mom? Dad? Where are you? Please I need help. I'm only a girl and I'm alone on earth. You have to help me!"

I keep stumbling for a few more yards when I see it. A sparkle a slight sparkle if a fallen. A fallen angel who is dying. An angel who is so close to dead they have touched earth with their true form.

I freeze in my spot surround by trees. I'm terrified of who it may be but I feel I already know. Stepping forward I see who it is. My mother lay down taking her final breathes.

"Mommy!! I'm so so sorry. I shouldn't have fought with you." I say crying.

"I know what to do. I can save you. I can. Just give me-"

"Holly. Stop. I-I'm dead already."

"Wh-where's Daddy?" While coughing and gasping for air she nodded towards her left.

"Daddy?" The word comes out no more than a whisper when I see the shadow. Is that what we become when we die? Shadows? I cry out and turn to see the last glimmer of light die out of my mother and she turns to shadow.

"Noooo!!!! Nooo!! Come back to me! Don't be just shadows! Be angels! Live!" I fold within myself and cry.

I cry for everyone and for everything. I had the chance to save them. All of them. Every angel, but I was to selfish and focused on my father. Not even my true father, just my angel father.

I stand up and walk I walk until I can't walk anymore.
