Light were all around her. above her, under her. It was literally all around her and Gili was staring in awe at the phenomenon in front of her. It was extremely pretty. What Gili found most weird was that this light wasn't blinding her or hurting her in any way, like the sun could if you had been staring at it for long. No, this light was warm and comforting. Like an embrace of a mother holding their newfound child with all the love and warmed they could give. It made her lean into it. How long had it been since someone had hold her like this? She remembered her own mother and how much love she had given her, despite the circumstances of her father. Sometimes they didn't have enough food to feed themselves, but her mother always made sure Gili was. Always regardless what. That was one of the reasons Gili was sure her mother was in heaven and waiting for her when her time was up. Gili still remembered the dreadful night her mother died. Her father had already left at that time, being gambler and all that. However, his actions later still haunted this family. She still remembered one of her father's creditors showing up, telling them that her father was dead, but still owed a ton of money. As compensation they killed her mother in cold blood. The one he owed money apparently lost its patience and... Gili shuttered by the thought.

"It will be okay Gili" a voice suddenly said, and a woman dressed in white, with the most beautiful wings appeared in front of her. She was sending her a big smile.

"Who... who are you?" Gili questioned slowly "Are... are you an angel?".

"Yes and for the moment I am your guardian too" the angel replied and smiled "We finally meet". Her arms wrapped around Gili, in a very caring matter.

"Guardian angel? But why haven't you showed yourself to me earlier" Gili questioned.

"You wouldn't let me Gili" The angel replied "You believed that you couldn't. You believed you didn't earn it, but anyone, even you can ask for a better life. With Declan Akaba on your side, things will change".

"Yes, but I... he is a demon..." Gili began and looked down in the ground "I am forcing him to stay, because I am selfish. Because I am lonely...".

"You are allowed to wish Gili. Everyone is. You didn't deserve to die at the ritual" The angel replied and sighed "I intervened, and almost broke the celestic rules. Only your wish prevented me from becoming a fallen".

"Fallen?" Gili questioned rather puzzled "What is that?".

"Gili, listen to me. I do not have much time" The angel replied and looked over at the shoulder "With Declan on your side, things will change, as I said before, but even greater hardships will await you because of it. I will not be there to help you again".

"Wait? Where are you going? Has something happened?" Gili questioned worriedly.

"Just believe sweet Gili and always follow your heart. That is all I ask you" The angel said as it began disappearing in front of her.

"No wait, I have so many more questions!" Gili uttered, before...


Before she found herself in her bed at her house in her own bedroom. Gili looked frantically around for the angel, but soon realized this must have been a dream. It had been so vivid though. She shook her head a little in order for her to focus.

"What's with you?" she could hear from the other side of the bed.

At the floor, on a futon mattress was Declan lying and were currently looking up at her. Her bed was big enough for both of them, but her trust in Declan not trying anything, being demon and all, was not present at all. Not after he had tried pleasing her in bed last day.
