Chapter Ten

“Why are you doing this?” I asked him before he killed me.

“Lucifer loved God too much. That was why he was punished, every day I heard about that. All he did was cry about it. Do you know what happens when Angels cry? The Earth breaks, hurricanes, tornados, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis all of that. Lucifer told me that he was going to get sent away soon.

He said that I had to switch sides to live. So I did, and I kidnapped Jesus also for the pain he had cause Lucifer. Then daddy went looking for him and never found him. All the Angels went into a panic and I saw that it was time now to carry out Lucifer's plan. So I decided to take over Heaven.” he explained.

“What does this have to do with me?” I asked.

“Well I had to have someone to at least try and stop me or it wouldn't be fair. So I made up a life for you. I made the last living Protector and your mommy dearest meet. I made up a small little town for you to live and grow up in.

Then I killed your father so the Protector side of you would kick in when you turned seventeen.” I looked at him for a minute in shock.

“You created my life?” I asked him.

“Have you ever seen anyone walking dogs or driving cars. No one was real but your mom, your sister and that Ellie girl because she moved into my little town. Every one else was a spy of mine put there to watch you.” I couldn’t believe this my whole life has been a lie.

I then realized that I wasn’t using my blade. I was using something I found in the warehouse. I kicked him down, got up and brought out my blade. I put it up to his chest and kicked his blade from his hand.

“You deserve this and much much more.” I said to him then I put the blade in his heart. There was a noise that pierced my ears and Gadreel then had bright gold light coming from his eyes, mouth and nose.

I had to look away so it didn’t blind me. When the light stopped I looked back to see that his whole body had turned to ash. I looked around to see that all the demons and fallen reaper were fleeing the scene. Then I saw my mom looking at me in horror I look away fro her gaze and I saw Lillian lying on the ground clutching her stomach. I immediately dropped my blade and ran to her side.  

“Lillian, it’s going to be ok. You’ll get through this, you will live.” I told her.

“I’m okay...just a small scrape” she said to me. She tried to sit up but winced and laid backed down. She stroked my cheek and said,

“Ashton...when I died in 1783..I went to Heaven to become an Angel and help you through this battle.

I went against my home because of the love I had for my Samuel. You have helped me get back on track. Thank you for that.” I grabbed her hands and held them to my chest. Then her hands went limp and her eyelids fluttered closed for the last time.

I was pretty sure I was crying but I couldn't tell. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and saw Samuel standing behind me. He looked just like he did the night Lillian died in 1783. I moved to the side and let him in.

He took his hands and put them over her wound. Then gold light came from his hands and went into her wound. It looked like the light from when I brought Lillian and Ellie’s memories back. Then I saw her eyes flutter back open again and I let out a small laugh with a huge smile on my face.

“Samuel…?” she said when she saw him over top of her.

“Hello, my love.” he said to her then he kissed the top of her head and stood up. She sat up and watched him. He started walking to the wall, when he reached it he turned around and smiled at her. Then disappeared before he hit the wall. I turned to her and gave her a huge hug. She hugged back then pulled away and gestured to my mom. I stood up and walked over to her.

When I got there she backed away clutching Gia o her side. She still looked horrified, I looked at Ellie and she understood. She touched my moms shoulder and took Gia away so I could speak to her alone.

“Hi mom.” I said to her.

“What have you done with my son you...you..monster.” I winced a bit at the last part but didn’t let it bother me much.

“I’m not a monster, I’m the good guy, I’m part Angel.” Then I spread out my wings to show her. She backed away a bit more and hit the wall.

“I’m called a Protector, dad was one also. It runs in the family. That woman over there.” I pointed to Lillian.

“Her name is Lillian Penn, she is an Angel and she is also family. She died in 1783 and became an Angel to help me. I’m safe I promise, I won’t hurt you.” I then retracted my wings and gave her a hug. She didn’t hug back for a minute but when she realized she was safe she hugged back.

“I always wanted a guardian Angel.” she whispered in my ear. I smiled and pulled away. After that day I never needed to use my Protector side but Lillian and I kept in touch. She always came over for birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ellie and I went to the same college and ended up getting married and having kids. We named our first boy Samuel. The rest of my life ended up being perfect.

“The End.” I said when I finished reading my story to the class.

“That was very good Ashton. I loved how you put some of your real life in your novel. And how you brought in fictional characters like Lillian, Ellie and your Antagonist. I also like how you put some history in your story like the roman guy Cato and when you sent your main character to 1783 when the American Revolution ended.” Mrs.Greene said to me.

“Thanks.” I said and went to sit down in my seat behind Kevin.

“Okay who’s next?” Mrs.Greene asked the class.
