The Guardian Angels Chapter 8
Flashback: “You see that Jon, that’s your sister, you’re gonna have a baby sister” Michel said to a near 2 year old Jon while carrying a newborn baby in her arms. “What do you think we should call your new sister?” Jon didn’t reply, but the father Tom suggested “How about Joana? They’ll both have similar names” “No, my daughter will not be named Joana” Michel insisted. “What about Josephine?” “I will name her Sophie, what do you think of that Jon? Your new sister Sophie”
Few years later:
As Sophie hugged her brother, their mother looked from afar with a smile and thought: “Aw, my sweet little babies, they already love each other” At this point in time Sophie and Jon were only 4 and 6 years old.
Years later: “Jon, come back! Where are you going?” Sophie desperately asked her brother
“I’m leaving, I’m done with this place!” Jon sounded pretty frustrated.
Sophie ran to her father in the cornfield “Dad, dad! Jon is leaving” “Sophie, you know he gets frustrated sometimes and needs some time alone to think, he’ll come back, just let him be for a while and you’ll see”
1 year before the beginning of the story: Sophie: “What do you need for that pretty dress and those shoes?”
“The most valuable thing that you have, or the two most valuable things that you have”
“Okay, I’ll be back in ten minutes” Sophie said exited as she was about to run back home. When she came back home, no one was inside, she tried to find the most valuable things that she had, but then got an idea… She started looking through her mother’s stuff instead, she found a crystal necklace and she took it, she then started to look through Jon’s stuff thinking “Jon must have something valuable that I can use” She found all his coins and took most of them, then she ran back to the seller.
“Not bad girl, I’ll definitely give you both for those things.”
“Thanks” Sophie said very happy as she gave him the necklace and the coins.
Later when she was home and she couldn’t wait to wear the dress, she started dancing in the living room as she stumped into Jon, right before she stumped into him Jon looked strangely at her. There was an awkward silence, until Jon noticed that something was off
“Sophie, where did you get that dress? He looked intensely at her “What did you do? Sophie, what did you do?”
She couldn’t lie about it so she told Jon everything. A few minutes later Michel and Tom came.
“What’s going on?”
“Tell them Sophie, tell them what you did” Jon looked really upset as he said that. Michel and Tom started looking worried as they looked at Sophie.
“I took your necklace and I gave it away” Sophie said painfully while sounding both scared and regretful. Michel stared at her for a while without saying a word, Michel looked shocked and really sad.
Jon came closer to her “You’re selfish, you’re really selfish! You’ve always been selfish” He said angrily close to her face,
Sophie looked really sad and scared “You’re right, I am selfish” She said while crying. “There must be something I can do to fix this, I can get rid of the dress”
Michel: “It’s too late for that, that doesn’t even matter now. What matters is that you stole from us…How could you do that!!?”
Tom: “You know, it’s not the first time you’ve done something like this. Your behavior has been really bad recently!”
Sophie: “But there must be something I can do, please tell me what.”
Michel: “You should have thought about that before”
Sophie’s tears still fell, but now it was too painful, she ran to her room and closed the door.
A week later: Michel: “We’re sending you to the temple in Edris, there’s a man named Willem…”
Sophie: “Why?”
Tom: “Because it’s what’s best for you”
Sophie: “But I don’t want to leave”
Michel: “We don’t care what you want, your behavior is out of control, someone has to teach you how to behave, and I think Willem is the right person for that, he is wise and kind” Jon stood in the background looking kind of sad.
As Sophie left for the temple, she looked back at them after getting further away, she saw them all staring at her looking sad and disappointed at the same time, then she turned her head back around and started walking towards the temple while looking sad.
Brandon Flashback: Brandon: “Mommy, who’s that?”
Silvia: “It’s your father Brandon”
A few years later: Brandon: “Mom, what happened?”
Silvia: “He left us. He left ME!”
Back to the present:
Brandon had been walking for quite a long time, and was very exhausted, he had also lost everything, he had lost all hope. He arrived near a wooden hut, but he passed out before he could get there.
Brandon had a dream about all his friends being alive standing in front of him and smiling at him.
The angels went to see Jon and Sophie’s dead bodies. They all gathered around in a circle. The Angel of Wisdom: “Let’s begin” they all nodded. Jon and Sophie’s bodies started to levitate and then they were surrounded in a bubble of light.
About a minute later:
The Angel of Wisdom: “Wait! Something’s wrong. We’ll have to take a break. I need YOU to go here right away.
The Angel of Darkness spread it’s wings and left.
As Brandon was lying unconscious, he was about to be attacked by a shadow creature formed like a polar bear with gigantic claws. But as the creature was just about to get him, the creature seemed trapped and couldn’t move.
The Angel of Darkness had come! It choked the shadow creature and pulled it into the air with force, then using all it’s force, the angel trapped the shadow creature with dark magic. The shadow creature was really trying to resist, but the angel’s magic was too strong.
Suddenly a beam of bright white light came at the shadow creature and it killed the creature. It was the angel of light who had also come. They nodded at each other.
The Angel of Darkness: “The boss said that I should get him to safety, but I think you should do that.
The Angel of Light: “Sure!... You know I think this was the last of them, I can’t feel the presence of any more shadow creatures.”
The Angel of Darkness: “Me neither. But that doesn’t mean it’s over, after you get the boy to safety, meet up with us, here!”
The white angel nodded.
The white angel searched for quite a while, then found a wooden house with survivors, who hid in their basement, it left Brandon at their house and signaled to them by lighting up the place with bright strong light. Then it left to meet up with the other angels.
Shortly after, the family hiding in their basement under their house, carefully opened their door gate. When they found Brandon lying unconscious, they looked confused at him for about a minute or so, then they decided to take him down into their basement to safety.
Now the white angel met up with the rest of them.
The Angel of Ice: “We haven’t seen you in a while, how well did your hunt go?”
The Angel of Light: “Clearly it went as we planned, they’re all gone, right?”
The Angel of Wisdom: “Yes, we have exterminated all the shadow creatures who came here and we have closed the gateway. But what matters now is resurrecting these two, to finish the process we’ll need you! We’ll need all of us together.
All the angels gathered in a circle and continued the process.
Back with the family Brandon was slowly waking up.
“Look! He’s waking up” Brandon slowly opened his eyes and saw everyone looking at him. Obviously it kinda freaked him out.
“Hello there, my name is Marlene! What’s yours?” Brandon was barely awake, he was still exhausted, tired and sad. He just looked up without responding. “And I’m Vennie, I guess it’s because I whine a lot” The others looked weirdly at her after she said that. “I’m Jack.
Now Brandon was slowly starting to get up while they continued to talk to him. “I’m Berd” “and I’m Samantha”
Brandon was sitting up looking back at them over his shoulders, then he just made a “Sigh” and stopped looking at them but looked down instead.
“So… Where did you come from and why are you by yourself?” Berd the father of the family asked.
“Mom, why doesn’t he say anything?” Marlene asked her mother confused. “I don’t know sweetheart, maybe he’s tired or maybe he’s scared” Samantha replied.
Then Brandon spoke out in outrage. “I don’t care about your names!! OKAY?”
They were all shocked and scared by the way Brandon spoke to them.
Then Samantha the mother of the family asked “Is it those things? Have you been running from them?... You know, we were lucky to get here safely before they attacked us, but we’re safe here. They can’t get down here.”
Vennie: “They freak me out! And where did they even come from?”
Jack: “Let’s just hope they don’t find a way down here!”
Berd: “Where is your family? Your mother? Your father? Did those things get them?”
Brandon smirked “Hmph! My family!?... then he started looking sad and serious.
“I have no family!... I have nothing!....... I have no one!!”
Back with the angels Sophie and Jon’s bodies were starting to react. The bubble that surrounded Jon and Sophie also lit up with bright white light again.
The Angel of Wisdom: “Everyone, this is it, step away now”
All the angels stopped holding hands and stepped back.
The bubble force-field went out and Jon and Sophie’s bodies fell to the ground.
Jon and Sophie came back to life and slowly opened up their eyes, they were weak and had a hard time getting up, they also had a headache like it was hard on their body being resurrected, yes Jon and Sophie had been resurrected, but they didn’t know that themselves.
Sophie: “Wow, so this is what it’s like after death! It’s all like a dream, I can’t believe I’m dreaming about angels” Sophie thought
Jon’s thoughts: “Death is peace and paradise. Look, Sophie exists in my new reality”
Sophie: “So, Jon! What’s it like being a stupid fuck?”
Sophie’s thoughts: “Wait this is such a weird dream, why the hell would I say this, and why does it feel like I have my own thoughts, oh well a dream always feels real.
Jon looked weirdly and offended at Sophie and thought to himself “Really? My sister is such a bitch in this new reality, why can’t she just be like the real Sophie…”
Jon: “Okay Sophie, why are you such a bitchy bitch?, My sister was nothing like that in my previous life”
Jon’s thoughts “wait, what did I just say…”
Sophie’s thoughts: “What did he just say to me?”
The Angel of Ice: “Someone please put an end to this, It’s painful to watch and listen to. The amount of stupidity”
The Angel of Wisdom: “Don’t worry, this will only take a moment!”
The Angel of Wisdom pointed at Sophie and Jon, then Sophie and Jon were almost turned off for a second, but now they were aware of their own consciousness and the fact that they were alive, but they didn’t know that they were angels now.
Sophie: “I’m alive!? What is this? How is this possible?”
Jon: “Sophie?!!!” Sophie: “Jon!!!!?”
They hugged each other intensely.
Sophie: “You’re alive?! I can’t believe it!”
Jon: “Me neither! It must be the work of the angels”
All the angels were just standing there without saying anything yet.
When Jon and Sophie were finished hugging they turned their head to the angels, Sophie slowly walked towards them…
Jon and Sophie were both intrigued by the sight of all the angels in one place
Jon: “So this is all of you?... I can’t believe my eyes, I’m actually standing in front of seven angels!”
Sophie: “Did you do this? Did you bring us back to life?”
The Angel of Earth: “We maintained balance in this world”
Sophie looked confused “What does that mean?”
The Angel of Water: “You’re one of us!”
Jon and Sophie both: “What!?”
The Angel of Light: “We didn’t just bring you back to life. We made you one of us!”
Back with the family everyone was worried and concerned about Brandon, he looked sick. “We have to help him, he clearly needs help” Samantha said “For sure, but he won’t talk to us” Vennie replied. “I think you should do this, father to son talk” Samantha asked Berd. He nodded
Berd slowly approached Brandon, he stopped when he was standing right in front of Brandon. Brandon was looking down but he slowly looked up and looked at Berd with pain and sadness in his eyes. “Listen kid, I can’t imagine what you must have been through, but there’s always a way to get past it. We’ve all been through some hard stuff in our lives, but we stay strong and eventually we will recover”. Brandon looked at him with a rejectful impression in his eyes. Berd then sat down next to him “You can talk to me, if you truly don’t have anyone you can live with us if you like. Now let me get you some tea and then you’ll need some sleep” As Berd went off to get Brandon some tea and other stuff that might help him get better, while Berd turned around, Brandon looked at him from behind with an angry face, Brandon stood up and said “I don’t need anything from you!” Berd turned around and saw Brandon looking at him with a very unpleasant impression on his face. Brandon was so overwhelmed with grief that he had basically lost his mind at this point. “You can’t help me, no one can!” Brandon said as he then proceeded to release his electricity power on Berd while looking with a stone cold face.
“DAD!” Marlene and Vennie both yelled out, while the others looked with a shock, they were all scared out of their minds.
Back with Jon and Sophie, they were having a hard time believing that they were angels.
Jon: “I can’t believe we’re bloody angels, I mean what the hell is even real anymore?”
Sophie: “I know, it’s too unreal to be true, definitely feels like a dream, maybe some part of me still believes that it’s a dream”
Jon: “What is the point anyway?”
The Angel of Wisdom: “The point is, that when we lost one of our own, we were in need of replacement, and it so happens that the two of you were always potential candidates”
Sophie: “But what exactly are we supposed to do?”
The Angel of Wisdom: “The two of you will be personal guardians to the boy that you’ve been traveling with for quite a while. There is also more than that, but you will see soon enough. Anyway there is something I need to do, watch over them while I’m gone” All of the angels nodded.
Jon and Sophie looked at each other confused and unable to grasp what was going on.
Brandon was still going off and electrifying Berd, he was going to die soon. The yellow angel who was still connected to Brandon now felt that something was off and took off immediately.
The Angel of Wisdom landed near the crystal and freed George who had been trapped inside for quite some time now. The angel took off before George would notice anything. George was in a coma stance and could barely move or see for at least five minutes, but then his body started to wake up and now he could actually move again, he slowly looked up while thinking “Where the hell am I?” then he saw Helena’s body “Helena!.... No! No, no no, please no. HELENA!!” Tears fell from his eyes as he held her body.
The yellow angel now appeared in front of Brandon and the family with a bright yellow light and cancelled out Brandon’s electricity powers. Berd fell to the ground almost dead, while the rest of the family couldn’t handle the shock of all this, they all passed out, except for Jack, he hid behind a chair. The angel looked at Brandon with disappointment, he looked back with a careless expression.
The angel: “What do you think you’re doing?”
Brandon: “None of your business”
The angel: “Oh but that’s where you are wrong, I am your guardian angel, so you are my responsibility”
Brandon: “I don’t care. I don’t care about them, I don’t care about this place, I don’t care about this stupid world, and I don’t care about you!” Brandon then proceeded to use his powers on the angel.
Brandon’s electricity was cancelled out again, and to Brandon’s surprise the angel was completely unharmed.
The angel: “Did you really think that you could harm me? Using my own powers against me? Your power comes from me, I am the source of your power and you merely have a small amount of my powers. When I first possessed you, I gave you a taste of my powers, but I can take them away again.”
Brandon attacked again, but this time the angel absorbed his powers and Brandon was paralyzed while his entire body glue yellow, then after like 30 seconds he passed out. The angel had taken away his powers.
The Yellow Angel: “It’s over for you, you will no longer have powers”
When the angel of Wisdom returned to Jon, Sophie and the other angels; “It is time for your training”
Sophie: “Training?”
The angel of light: “Yes, did you think you could become a well experienced angel without doing any training?”
The angel of ice: “You know your own elements right?”
Sophie and Jon: “Yeah”
The angel of earth: “Great, then what are we waiting for, let’s get started”
1 hour after the incident with Brandon; the family and Brandon was starting to wake up. Jack tried to get his family on their feet, after everyone was back up on their feet the whole family looked at Brandon. Samantha went a little closer to Brandon with a very unhappy look on her face “You MONSTER!! Get the hell out of my house!!!” She cried out with a angry and sad voice. Brandon was scared by her tone. Vennie: “He’s as bad as those creatures out there, is he a demon?” Samantha: “Yes, yes he is” Jack: “So what can we do? Samantha: “Go check on your dad” she replied while she stared at Brandon. Brandon didn’t know what to say. When Jack got to his dad and touched him; “Dad, are you okay?” he was electrocuted when he touched him “Aww” Samantha: “What happened?” Jack: “It’s like he’s electrified, I can’t touch him at all, what do we do?” Samantha went there to check on her husband. Vennie and Marlene was so scared of Brandon that they stayed far away from him this whole time.
It was time for Sophie and Jon’s training. They were split up and went to separate places and they were accompanied by another angel. Sophie went with the angel of darkness while Jon went with the angel of ice.
Jon were somewhere secret that only the angels knew of, they were surrounded by giant rocks but where they stood there was only grass
The Angel of Ice: “So, are you ready for your training?” “Yes” Jon replied confident.
Angel: “Good! Then let’s get started. Your first test is as follows, I will conjure a small ice ball and since you possess the power of fire, you will attempt to melt it. Do you understand?” Jon: “Of course” “Then let’s begin”
Jon struggled for a while for anything to happen at all.
Angel of ice: “Relax yourself! You need to concentrate more”
It wasn’t going much better for Sophie. Her and the black angel went to a beautiful place full of trees and water.
Angel of Darkness: Let’s just get right to your first mission, as I don’t want to waste any more time than necessary. You possess the power of wind, and all I need you to do at first is simply to conjure a little wind, anything will do.
Sophie: “You’re kidding? That’s all?”
Angel of Darkness: “Don’t get cocky, it might sound easy but you will see”
Sophie tried for hours with no luck, not even a tiny bit of wind came.
Angel of Darkness: “I told you. Simple doesn’t always mean easy and your problem is the same as all beginners, you’re not relaxed, you’re trying too hard.
Jon finally succeeded.
Angel of ice: “Well done”
Jon smirked with satisfaction.
George had been walking for a while carrying Helena’s dead body in his arms while crying, but then he met a black eagle who spread it’s wings and started talking to him “You cannot pass here, this place is sacred and only those who has the right will enter here” “please just let me pass I need to put my wife to where she belongs” George responded. “She is very special to you. But she is even more important to this world and it’s very soul. “excuse me?” George said confused. “She will be one with the planet and bring hope to the world as well as the angels. George was so confused that he didn’t know how to respond. “I serve the angels and since you do not have permission to come here, we will take her”
Back with Brandon and the family; Berd was dead and Samantha stood up and looked back at Brandon, Jack looked at him too and they were not happy. Brandon tried to apologize and actually get some words out, but as he did Jack hit him from behind with a long stick and knocked him out. They carried him out and threw him on the ground as Samantha said “Don’t EVER come back here”
The eagle took Helena from George which he wasn’t happy with, in fact he was so upset about it that he took his bow and arrow and was about to shoot the eagle, but he was surrounded by large rocks that came out of nowhere. It was the angel of earth who came to stop him from killing the eagle. Now George was trapped once again and all he could see besides the rocks was the sky if he looked straight up. He started bagging on the rocks for someone to let him out but obviously nothing happened.
After Brandon was awake again he slowly started to crawl using his arms mostly, but he was too hurt and exhausted to get far and so he passed out again.
After everything was sorted out, George was freed and before him stood the angel of earth. He couldn’t believe his eyes but it got even more crazy as a new bright light almost blinded him, as the light went softer the angel of light stood in front of him as well. First they explained to him why he should have more respect for this place, but they also asked him if he wanted to become a guardian of this place, it took him a while to get used to the angels but eventually he accepted and found his new goal in life.
Jon and Sophie had been training for a long time at this point and they both started getting tired.
Jon: “Can I see Sophie?”
Angel of Ice: “Not yet, are you getting tired?”
Sophie: “Can I see Jon?”
Angel of Darkness: “Stop with the distractions and start concentrating”
Jon: “Of course I am, we have been training since forever with no breaks”
Angel of Ice: “Of course, that’s the human part of you. One more mission and you can have a break and go see her”
Sophie: “But I’m tired! For how long must I go on?”
Angel of Darkness: “Your last test for now, you will start learning how to fly”
Sophie: “Really?!! That’s awesome”
Angel of Darkness: “….”
After Sophie finally succeeded flying for a short time the black angel told her that she did well at her first training. Sophie had some questions though.
Sophie: “Can I ask something?” the angel looked at her and waited for her question without saying a word. “What happened? After me and Jon died? You know, to the rest of the world”
Angel of Darknees: “Well most of the human population has been slaughtered, as has most of our allies”.
Sophie: “Your allies?”
Angel of Darkness: “Yes, we have magical animals who serve us, but unfortunately most of them are dead now”
Sophie: “But how did any of that happen in the first place?”
Angel of Darkness: “Someone removed our magic crystal, which opened up another world, a dark world where those creatures came from. You see, that crystal protects the whole forest in many ways and also prevents the other world to come here.”
Sophie: “So who did it? And why would anyone ever do that?”
Angel of Darkness: “What makes you think he knew what it meant? And why do any of you humans do anything? Human behavior is unpredictable and irrational. What do you think people would have done if they found out who did it? It makes no difference who did it, it happened and we all had to deal with it. Now go take your break”
Jon: “For how long exactly most we keep training?”
Angel of Ice: “You will keep training for a few thousand years until your training is fully complete and you have mastered all of your abilities”
Jon: “Excuse me??? Thousand years?!”
Angel of Ice: “Yes, it will take a very long time to master all your abilities, eventually you will lose your humanity and become a complete angel, once you have lived out your short human life, the human part in you will die and it will fade. Do not be afraid of that, it does not hurt at all, in fact you won’t feel anything when it happens. We have all been through that”
After a while Jon and Sophie met up with each other.
The End
Flashback: “You see that Jon, that’s your sister, you’re gonna have a baby sister” Michel said to a near 2 year old Jon while carrying a newborn baby in her arms. “What do you think we should call your new sister?” Jon didn’t reply, but the father Tom suggested “How about Joana? They’ll both have similar names” “No, my daughter will not be named Joana” Michel insisted. “What about Josephine?” “I will name her Sophie, what do you think of that Jon? Your new sister Sophie”
Few years later:
As Sophie hugged her brother, their mother looked from afar with a smile and thought: “Aw, my sweet little babies, they already love each other” At this point in time Sophie and Jon were only 4 and 6 years old.
Years later: “Jon, come back! Where are you going?” Sophie desperately asked her brother
“I’m leaving, I’m done with this place!” Jon sounded pretty frustrated.
Sophie ran to her father in the cornfield “Dad, dad! Jon is leaving” “Sophie, you know he gets frustrated sometimes and needs some time alone to think, he’ll come back, just let him be for a while and you’ll see”

“I took your necklace and I gave it away” Sophie said painfully while sounding both scared and regretful. Michel stared at her for a while without saying a word, Michel looked shocked and really sad.
Jon came closer to her “You’re selfish, you’re really selfish! You’ve always been selfish” He said angrily close to her face,
Sophie looked really sad and scared “You’re right, I am selfish” She said while crying. “There must be something I can do to fix this, I can get rid of the dress”
Michel: “It’s too late for that, that doesn’t even matter now. What matters is that you stole from us…How could you do that!!?”

Sophie’s tears still fell, but now it was too painful, she ran to her room and closed the door.
A week later: Michel: “We’re sending you to the temple in Edris, there’s a man named Willem…”
Sophie: “Why?”

Sophie: “But I don’t want to leave”
Michel: “We don’t care what you want, your behavior is out of control, someone has to teach you how to behave, and I think Willem is the right person for that, he is wise and kind” Jon stood in the background looking kind of sad.
As Sophie left for the temple, she looked back at them after getting further away, she saw them all staring at her looking sad and disappointed at the same time, then she turned her head back around and started walking towards the temple while looking sad.
Brandon Flashback: Brandon: “Mommy, who’s that?”
Silvia: “It’s your father Brandon”
A few years later: Brandon: “Mom, what happened?”
Silvia: “He left us. He left ME!”
Back to the present:

About a minute later:
The Angel of Wisdom: “Wait! Something’s wrong. We’ll have to take a break. I need YOU to go here right away.
The Angel of Darkness spread it’s wings and left.

All the angels gathered in a circle and continued the process.
Back with the family Brandon was slowly waking up.
“Look! He’s waking up” Brandon slowly opened his eyes and saw everyone looking at him. Obviously it kinda freaked him out.
“Hello there, my name is Marlene! What’s yours?” Brandon was barely awake, he was still exhausted, tired and sad. He just looked up without responding. “And I’m Vennie, I guess it’s because I whine a lot” The others looked weirdly at her after she said that. “I’m Jack.
Now Brandon was slowly starting to get up while they continued to talk to him. “I’m Berd” “and I’m Samantha”
Brandon was sitting up looking back at them over his shoulders, then he just made a “Sigh” and stopped looking at them but looked down instead.
“So… Where did you come from and why are you by yourself?” Berd the father of the family asked.
“Mom, why doesn’t he say anything?” Marlene asked her mother confused. “I don’t know sweetheart, maybe he’s tired or maybe he’s scared” Samantha replied.
Then Brandon spoke out in outrage. “I don’t care about your names!! OKAY?”
They were all shocked and scared by the way Brandon spoke to them.
Then Samantha the mother of the family asked “Is it those things? Have you been running from them?... You know, we were lucky to get here safely before they attacked us, but we’re safe here. They can’t get down here.”
Vennie: “They freak me out! And where did they even come from?”
Jack: “Let’s just hope they don’t find a way down here!”
Berd: “Where is your family? Your mother? Your father? Did those things get them?”
Brandon smirked “Hmph! My family!?... then he started looking sad and serious.
“I have no family!... I have nothing!....... I have no one!!”
Back with the angels Sophie and Jon’s bodies were starting to react. The bubble that surrounded Jon and Sophie also lit up with bright white light again.
The Angel of Wisdom: “Everyone, this is it, step away now”
All the angels stopped holding hands and stepped back.
The bubble force-field went out and Jon and Sophie’s bodies fell to the ground.
Jon and Sophie came back to life and slowly opened up their eyes, they were weak and had a hard time getting up, they also had a headache like it was hard on their body being resurrected, yes Jon and Sophie had been resurrected, but they didn’t know that themselves.
Sophie: “Wow, so this is what it’s like after death! It’s all like a dream, I can’t believe I’m dreaming about angels” Sophie thought
Jon’s thoughts: “Death is peace and paradise. Look, Sophie exists in my new reality”
Sophie: “So, Jon! What’s it like being a stupid fuck?”
Sophie’s thoughts: “Wait this is such a weird dream, why the hell would I say this, and why does it feel like I have my own thoughts, oh well a dream always feels real.
Jon looked weirdly and offended at Sophie and thought to himself “Really? My sister is such a bitch in this new reality, why can’t she just be like the real Sophie…”
Jon: “Okay Sophie, why are you such a bitchy bitch?, My sister was nothing like that in my previous life”
Jon’s thoughts “wait, what did I just say…”
Sophie’s thoughts: “What did he just say to me?”
The Angel of Ice: “Someone please put an end to this, It’s painful to watch and listen to. The amount of stupidity”
The Angel of Wisdom: “Don’t worry, this will only take a moment!”
The Angel of Wisdom pointed at Sophie and Jon, then Sophie and Jon were almost turned off for a second, but now they were aware of their own consciousness and the fact that they were alive, but they didn’t know that they were angels now.
Sophie: “I’m alive!? What is this? How is this possible?”
Jon: “Sophie?!!!” Sophie: “Jon!!!!?”
They hugged each other intensely.
Sophie: “You’re alive?! I can’t believe it!”
Jon: “Me neither! It must be the work of the angels”
All the angels were just standing there without saying anything yet.
When Jon and Sophie were finished hugging they turned their head to the angels, Sophie slowly walked towards them…
Jon and Sophie were both intrigued by the sight of all the angels in one place
Jon: “So this is all of you?... I can’t believe my eyes, I’m actually standing in front of seven angels!”
Sophie: “Did you do this? Did you bring us back to life?”
The Angel of Earth: “We maintained balance in this world”
Sophie looked confused “What does that mean?”
The Angel of Water: “You’re one of us!”
Jon and Sophie both: “What!?”
The Angel of Light: “We didn’t just bring you back to life. We made you one of us!”
Back with the family everyone was worried and concerned about Brandon, he looked sick. “We have to help him, he clearly needs help” Samantha said “For sure, but he won’t talk to us” Vennie replied. “I think you should do this, father to son talk” Samantha asked Berd. He nodded
Berd slowly approached Brandon, he stopped when he was standing right in front of Brandon. Brandon was looking down but he slowly looked up and looked at Berd with pain and sadness in his eyes. “Listen kid, I can’t imagine what you must have been through, but there’s always a way to get past it. We’ve all been through some hard stuff in our lives, but we stay strong and eventually we will recover”. Brandon looked at him with a rejectful impression in his eyes. Berd then sat down next to him “You can talk to me, if you truly don’t have anyone you can live with us if you like. Now let me get you some tea and then you’ll need some sleep” As Berd went off to get Brandon some tea and other stuff that might help him get better, while Berd turned around, Brandon looked at him from behind with an angry face, Brandon stood up and said “I don’t need anything from you!” Berd turned around and saw Brandon looking at him with a very unpleasant impression on his face. Brandon was so overwhelmed with grief that he had basically lost his mind at this point. “You can’t help me, no one can!” Brandon said as he then proceeded to release his electricity power on Berd while looking with a stone cold face.
“DAD!” Marlene and Vennie both yelled out, while the others looked with a shock, they were all scared out of their minds.
Back with Jon and Sophie, they were having a hard time believing that they were angels.
Jon: “I can’t believe we’re bloody angels, I mean what the hell is even real anymore?”
Sophie: “I know, it’s too unreal to be true, definitely feels like a dream, maybe some part of me still believes that it’s a dream”
Jon: “What is the point anyway?”
The Angel of Wisdom: “The point is, that when we lost one of our own, we were in need of replacement, and it so happens that the two of you were always potential candidates”
Sophie: “But what exactly are we supposed to do?”
The Angel of Wisdom: “The two of you will be personal guardians to the boy that you’ve been traveling with for quite a while. There is also more than that, but you will see soon enough. Anyway there is something I need to do, watch over them while I’m gone” All of the angels nodded.
Jon and Sophie looked at each other confused and unable to grasp what was going on.
Brandon was still going off and electrifying Berd, he was going to die soon. The yellow angel who was still connected to Brandon now felt that something was off and took off immediately.
The Angel of Wisdom landed near the crystal and freed George who had been trapped inside for quite some time now. The angel took off before George would notice anything. George was in a coma stance and could barely move or see for at least five minutes, but then his body started to wake up and now he could actually move again, he slowly looked up while thinking “Where the hell am I?” then he saw Helena’s body “Helena!.... No! No, no no, please no. HELENA!!” Tears fell from his eyes as he held her body.
The yellow angel now appeared in front of Brandon and the family with a bright yellow light and cancelled out Brandon’s electricity powers. Berd fell to the ground almost dead, while the rest of the family couldn’t handle the shock of all this, they all passed out, except for Jack, he hid behind a chair. The angel looked at Brandon with disappointment, he looked back with a careless expression.
The angel: “What do you think you’re doing?”
Brandon: “None of your business”
The angel: “Oh but that’s where you are wrong, I am your guardian angel, so you are my responsibility”
Brandon: “I don’t care. I don’t care about them, I don’t care about this place, I don’t care about this stupid world, and I don’t care about you!” Brandon then proceeded to use his powers on the angel.
Brandon’s electricity was cancelled out again, and to Brandon’s surprise the angel was completely unharmed.
The angel: “Did you really think that you could harm me? Using my own powers against me? Your power comes from me, I am the source of your power and you merely have a small amount of my powers. When I first possessed you, I gave you a taste of my powers, but I can take them away again.”
Brandon attacked again, but this time the angel absorbed his powers and Brandon was paralyzed while his entire body glue yellow, then after like 30 seconds he passed out. The angel had taken away his powers.
The Yellow Angel: “It’s over for you, you will no longer have powers”
When the angel of Wisdom returned to Jon, Sophie and the other angels; “It is time for your training”
Sophie: “Training?”
The angel of light: “Yes, did you think you could become a well experienced angel without doing any training?”
The angel of ice: “You know your own elements right?”
Sophie and Jon: “Yeah”
The angel of earth: “Great, then what are we waiting for, let’s get started”
1 hour after the incident with Brandon; the family and Brandon was starting to wake up. Jack tried to get his family on their feet, after everyone was back up on their feet the whole family looked at Brandon. Samantha went a little closer to Brandon with a very unhappy look on her face “You MONSTER!! Get the hell out of my house!!!” She cried out with a angry and sad voice. Brandon was scared by her tone. Vennie: “He’s as bad as those creatures out there, is he a demon?” Samantha: “Yes, yes he is” Jack: “So what can we do? Samantha: “Go check on your dad” she replied while she stared at Brandon. Brandon didn’t know what to say. When Jack got to his dad and touched him; “Dad, are you okay?” he was electrocuted when he touched him “Aww” Samantha: “What happened?” Jack: “It’s like he’s electrified, I can’t touch him at all, what do we do?” Samantha went there to check on her husband. Vennie and Marlene was so scared of Brandon that they stayed far away from him this whole time.
It was time for Sophie and Jon’s training. They were split up and went to separate places and they were accompanied by another angel. Sophie went with the angel of darkness while Jon went with the angel of ice.
Jon were somewhere secret that only the angels knew of, they were surrounded by giant rocks but where they stood there was only grass
The Angel of Ice: “So, are you ready for your training?” “Yes” Jon replied confident.
Angel: “Good! Then let’s get started. Your first test is as follows, I will conjure a small ice ball and since you possess the power of fire, you will attempt to melt it. Do you understand?” Jon: “Of course” “Then let’s begin”
Jon struggled for a while for anything to happen at all.
Angel of ice: “Relax yourself! You need to concentrate more”
It wasn’t going much better for Sophie. Her and the black angel went to a beautiful place full of trees and water.
Angel of Darkness: Let’s just get right to your first mission, as I don’t want to waste any more time than necessary. You possess the power of wind, and all I need you to do at first is simply to conjure a little wind, anything will do.
Sophie: “You’re kidding? That’s all?”
Angel of Darkness: “Don’t get cocky, it might sound easy but you will see”
Sophie tried for hours with no luck, not even a tiny bit of wind came.
Angel of Darkness: “I told you. Simple doesn’t always mean easy and your problem is the same as all beginners, you’re not relaxed, you’re trying too hard.
Jon finally succeeded.
Angel of ice: “Well done”
Jon smirked with satisfaction.
George had been walking for a while carrying Helena’s dead body in his arms while crying, but then he met a black eagle who spread it’s wings and started talking to him “You cannot pass here, this place is sacred and only those who has the right will enter here” “please just let me pass I need to put my wife to where she belongs” George responded. “She is very special to you. But she is even more important to this world and it’s very soul. “excuse me?” George said confused. “She will be one with the planet and bring hope to the world as well as the angels. George was so confused that he didn’t know how to respond. “I serve the angels and since you do not have permission to come here, we will take her”
Back with Brandon and the family; Berd was dead and Samantha stood up and looked back at Brandon, Jack looked at him too and they were not happy. Brandon tried to apologize and actually get some words out, but as he did Jack hit him from behind with a long stick and knocked him out. They carried him out and threw him on the ground as Samantha said “Don’t EVER come back here”
The eagle took Helena from George which he wasn’t happy with, in fact he was so upset about it that he took his bow and arrow and was about to shoot the eagle, but he was surrounded by large rocks that came out of nowhere. It was the angel of earth who came to stop him from killing the eagle. Now George was trapped once again and all he could see besides the rocks was the sky if he looked straight up. He started bagging on the rocks for someone to let him out but obviously nothing happened.
After Brandon was awake again he slowly started to crawl using his arms mostly, but he was too hurt and exhausted to get far and so he passed out again.
After everything was sorted out, George was freed and before him stood the angel of earth. He couldn’t believe his eyes but it got even more crazy as a new bright light almost blinded him, as the light went softer the angel of light stood in front of him as well. First they explained to him why he should have more respect for this place, but they also asked him if he wanted to become a guardian of this place, it took him a while to get used to the angels but eventually he accepted and found his new goal in life.
Jon and Sophie had been training for a long time at this point and they both started getting tired.
Jon: “Can I see Sophie?”
Angel of Ice: “Not yet, are you getting tired?”
Sophie: “Can I see Jon?”
Angel of Darkness: “Stop with the distractions and start concentrating”
Jon: “Of course I am, we have been training since forever with no breaks”
Angel of Ice: “Of course, that’s the human part of you. One more mission and you can have a break and go see her”
Sophie: “But I’m tired! For how long must I go on?”
Angel of Darkness: “Your last test for now, you will start learning how to fly”
Sophie: “Really?!! That’s awesome”
Angel of Darkness: “….”
After Sophie finally succeeded flying for a short time the black angel told her that she did well at her first training. Sophie had some questions though.
Sophie: “Can I ask something?” the angel looked at her and waited for her question without saying a word. “What happened? After me and Jon died? You know, to the rest of the world”
Angel of Darknees: “Well most of the human population has been slaughtered, as has most of our allies”.
Sophie: “Your allies?”
Angel of Darkness: “Yes, we have magical animals who serve us, but unfortunately most of them are dead now”
Sophie: “But how did any of that happen in the first place?”
Angel of Darkness: “Someone removed our magic crystal, which opened up another world, a dark world where those creatures came from. You see, that crystal protects the whole forest in many ways and also prevents the other world to come here.”
Sophie: “So who did it? And why would anyone ever do that?”
Angel of Darkness: “What makes you think he knew what it meant? And why do any of you humans do anything? Human behavior is unpredictable and irrational. What do you think people would have done if they found out who did it? It makes no difference who did it, it happened and we all had to deal with it. Now go take your break”
Jon: “For how long exactly most we keep training?”
Angel of Ice: “You will keep training for a few thousand years until your training is fully complete and you have mastered all of your abilities”
Jon: “Excuse me??? Thousand years?!”
Angel of Ice: “Yes, it will take a very long time to master all your abilities, eventually you will lose your humanity and become a complete angel, once you have lived out your short human life, the human part in you will die and it will fade. Do not be afraid of that, it does not hurt at all, in fact you won’t feel anything when it happens. We have all been through that”
After a while Jon and Sophie met up with each other.
The End
