Her Guardian Angel

Nostalgia

Her Guardian Angel

My breath catches in my throat as my eyes meet the swirling blue and green gaze of tawny skinned angel. A feeling of nostalgia washes over me as I look him, and I could swear that I had met this angel somewhere before. An angel who was staring at me as if the others in the room didn't exist. 

"Seraphina, this is Simeon. He along with Luke are the two exchange students from the Celestial Realm." Lucifer says as he introduces me to the two Celestials.

"It's Sera, and it's nice to meet you both." I look over Simeon, that feeling of nostalgia growing.

"It's nice to meet you too, Sera." Simeon says as he smiles. He holds out a hand and I shake his hand. A feeling of electricity flows from our connected hands and I almost don't want to let go. The electricity sends a static charge over my body and mind as our gazes stay locked on the others. We are both slightly frozen when the short angel at his side speaks up.

"Seraphina? You were named after Angels? That's pretty gutsy for a human." Taking a deep breath in, I again for what felt like the hundredth time in my life, try to explain my mother's reason for the name.

"My mother almost died when she was pregnant with me. The car she was driving slid off a mountain road and into a lake. She said an angel helped her, so that was why she named me Seraphina, it's a reminder that she was saved by an angel." Until I woke up here I thought my mother had just been hallucinating when she said she seen an angel in real life. Too bad that cancer took that bright woman from me, I had been 19, and now even six years later I couldn't help but feel the crushing weight of sadness when I thought of my mother. I never met my father and it had always just been my mother and I, we leaned on each other, now I was all alone.

"She saw an Angel, so she named you Seraphina. So why go by Sera?" Simeon asks, curiosity coloring his gaze.

"Because Seraphina is way too long and I prefer Sera." Also because I was far from Heavenly or Angelic, being called Seraphina was almost hypocritical.

"Well Sera, aren't you scared being by Demons? They are all evil." Luke says with a slight fear in his voice. I shrug my shoulders, the jury was still out on that one. I hadn't seen any evidence of them being evil, sadistic? Yes. Narcissistic? Yes. Greedy? Yes. But evil? Not so much, not saying there aren't evil demons but the ones I had met so far weren't evil.

"How do you like the Devildom so far Sera?" Simeon asks me as he steps a little closer. Close enough that I can feel the warmth radiating in my body and all I want to do is bask in it.

"It's...different. The whole there is no sunlight thing is what's getting to me though. Also being back in school when I've already graduated kind of sucks."

"What did you go to school for?"

"Nursing, I'm a Registered Nurse, an RN." While seeing my mother go through her Chemo and Radiation treatments I met a lot of compassionate nurses, I wanted to be able to help others like that too. It killed me not being able to help my mother ease her pain, I didn't want to feel that helpless again.

"So you like helping people?" Simeon asks.

"Yes."

"Would you be interested in working in our medica? Most Demons have a human form, they only change when they want to." Lucifer asks. My curiosity on how do Demons and even Angels differ from humans win and I agree to Lucifer's suggestion. Plus it would give me a job for the year I was here. I would need to be able to earn cash while living here, it wasn't in me to mooch off another. Lucifer had explained me how their money system worked.

"I'll speak with Lord Diavolo and get you what you need to get set up. I'll also put you in some classes for Anatomy and Physiology so you can study up on Demons and Angels and how they are different from humans." Sounded good to me, I was actually excited to be able to continue my work. Going home was out of the question so I needed to make the most out of the next year. Plus it might help me when I went back to the human world, since now I knew about other life forms besides humans I wondered how many demons and Angels I had met without knowing.

"Would it be alright if I also applied at the medica? I need a job while I am here." Simeon asks Lucifer and I feel my heart start to race.

"I'll let him know we have two new medics on the staff."

"It'll be nice working with you Sera." Simeon says softly.

"I look forward to it." And I did, I wanted to know more about this man, this angel who was invoking some non-angelic thoughts with his lean body, beautiful caramel skin, and those hips on display. Plus there was that instant connection and I wanted to see where it went.

Sera has grown more into a woman from the last time I had saw her. Her light blond hair had been shorter, but now it hung down to her lower back in a mass of curls that I wanted to run my fingers through. Her green gaze finds mine and curiosity burns in their depths. She felt our connection when we met face to face for the first time. It was her first time seeing me, but I had been drawn to her Soul from the moment of her creation. I watched over her as she grew into the woman she was now. She was the reason I agreed with becoming an Exchange Student for this program. Sera had a unique Soul, it shone brightly and I knew once she passed from this world, she would be reborn as a Celestial. But I wanted her to know me in this life, to see those eyes directed at me, to see her smile, I wanted her to be mine. I fell in love with her very Soul, and then I fell in love again as she grew older. She may not be mine, but I would always be hers.
