Fallen

Could it be possible for an angel to have fallen from grace? To never fly once more? Try all she might she couldn't fly, normally it just came to her! But.... today it didn't.... why today of all days?! She tried again and her wings fluttered uselessly. Sighing Annette hopped up on the roof of an old run down house and began to cry. "Annette! Hey Annette where are you?" a male voice shouted. Annette looked up startled to see a boy. He had long black hair that he kept in a ponytail, his coal black eyes were kind and full of life. His black cloak touched the ground and swept in the light breeze. His face still had some child left in it but was filling out nicely as he was growing into a man. "Annette! Annette!" He called again.

Annette stopped her daydreams and answered him, "I'm up here Lee." She called waving her hand to as if he could see her better that way. Lee smiled as he saw her wings light up a brilliant white, she was happy... and pure... full of innocence. Lee climbed up the old run down ladder and crawled over to Annette. He sat beside her and lightly took her hand in his as he always did, normally Annette wouldn't have minded but today she took her hand back and placed it in her lap. Lee stared at her for a moment but said nothing more... something was bothering her... if she wanted to tell him she would... or so he hoped.

"What's wrong?" Lee asked after about a minute of watching Annette's nervous look. Plus the fact that she was biting right through her lower lip.

"Umm..." Annette started.

"Umm what? What's wrong?" Lee asked.

"I can't... gosh this is so embarrassing... I can't fly!" Annette cried she looked over at Lee tears running down her ashen cheek. Lee put an arm around her waist and tried to draw her in, but Annette refused. She pushed him away as her wings folded on her back, she quickly climbed down the old ladder and ran as fast as she could her wings turning a bright blue as she went... Sadness.

Lee watched her go, watching as her wings turned colors as she went. "Annette." He whispered, he decided he would help Annette after all she had done for him, the least he could do would be to help her.

Each angel is different, some tend to the needs of others... those are called Guardian Angles, some Guardian Angles are sent to be with a specific person. Whether they make themselves known is up to them... Guardian Angles are to never fall in love with the ones they are protecting doing so they will lose the ability to fly... among other things... they will loose their wings and become normal humans, Guardian Angles are there to guard the ones that are chosen for them and help them in times of need and that is all that is required of them.

Annette's feet grew tired and her legs finally gave out letting her lie in a pile of freshly cut grass, she lay there for a moment before letting the unfinished tears spill over and take her under to their realms.
