Guardian Angels, Misty [read me a book .txt] 📗

as good as always Cass. My mom is still after you for this recipe.” Sarah laughed.
“Well then she’ll have to get it from me in the after life because I’m taking it to my grave!” Cass grinned, proud of herself. She left the tray on the table and then went back to help some costumers. Sarah turned her biscuit over in her hand and just looked at it. Her mind was drifting again. She looked out the window and just watched the people walking by. She reached up and touched the crystal around her neck. It was so smooth and polished, and also had a radiating feel to it, like it should have been glowing.
“Hey, thanks for the food, I’m gonna get going now.” Sarah snapped out of her daze and got up out of her chair. Cass waved but didn’t say anything because she was attending to another customer. Sarah found herself just wandering around on the street again, feeling like she had a destination even though she knew she didn’t. Turn after turn she just kept following this feeling in the back of her mind. Something made her speed up her pace, like something was wrong. She turned one last corner and found herself in front of a small park. There were a couple kids playing on the jungle gym, their parents chatting with each other and keeping one eye on the kids.
Sarah put her hands in her pockets and walked around a bit. She came over to the swing set, and took a seat in a vacant swing. She kept looking around and her attention came on the kids. There was something off a bit about the situation. There were three moms sitting on the bench, but four kids playing in the sand pit. There could be more than one kid to one of the parents, but one seemed to stick out. She looked pale and almost sickly, yet she was happily waiting in line to go up the slide. Looking at the other kids, she could see resemblances to each of the mothers, except that one. Sarah shook her head quickly as something in the back of her mind urged her to go forward. She got up and wandered over to the mothers.
“Hello. I was just wondering if you guys knew who that kid is?” Sarah asked them. They all proceeded to point out which child was there’s and told little stories that would end up embarrassing those kids in the future. Sarah thanked the ladies, who didn’t even mention the fourth kid at all. She didn’t bother pursuing it though; she’d been laughed at enough about seeing things that weren’t there. As she walked away though, something came into her mind. She remembered something Kristen had said about ghosts, or spirits as she called them, living normally among people. She spun back around and saw the girl just looking at her. The eyes were sad, but full of understanding. She turned around and headed back into the wood.
Sarah quickly turned around and followed the girl into the woods. The women watched Sarah go, but shrugged it off and continued talking. Sarah had to jog slightly to keep up with the little girl. They were going deeper into the woods in the park. Sarah didn’t remember the trees being this thick or the park going this far back. She should have hit a fence on the other side by now. She was starting to get a more nervous feeling, like one of danger.
She turned around another tree and came into a clearing, where she saw the little girl sitting out in the middle of it. Closer examination showed that she was playing with a doll. Sarah walked up to her slowly and squatted down next to the girl.
“Hi there, my name is Sarah what’s yours?” She asked, ignoring the feeling in the back of her mind. The girl slowly turned and looked up at Sarah. Sarah jumped back a bit in surprise. The girls eyes were now a golden yellow, and her smile produced a small set of fangs.
“Sarah Lincon, I’ve been waiting for you.” A voice came out of the trees. Sarah instantly jumped up to her feet and spun around, looking for the source of the voice. At this point it seemed to have gotten darker, but out of the corner of her eye she could see something glowing on her neck. She reached up and touched the necklace, and could get it at an angle where she could see the stone glowing.
Something entered the clearing that made all the hair on the back of her neck stand up. She turned around slowly and saw a man, about five feet nine inches tall, deep blood red eyes, dressed in a black suit, and had slick backed white hair. The little girl had turned into a teenaged girl dressed in tight white pants and a tube top. Her smile revealed vampire like fangs, and her long flowing white hair was carefully tossed around as she hung on the man.
Sarah looked at the man more closely, and her eyes got wide in horror.
“You… You were the man in the car!” Sarah gasped.

Chapter 4

“I see your powers are developing nicely, since you could see my dear friend here.” The man chuckled a little. Then he spat on the ground in anger. “You should have died that day one month ago, I can't believe that human jumped in my way!” He growled. “I have no had another perfect opportunity since then to finish the job!” Sarah was backing away at this point and accidentally tripped over a root, sending her tumbling backwards.
“I’m guessing you know there's something special about you now.” His grin sent chills down Sarah’s spine as he got closer and closer. “We demons don’t care for you type of humans all that much. Always stepping in and messing up our plans.” He stepped closer. Sarah reached up and grasped the jewel on her necklace, closed her eyes and prayed for everything to just disappear, for someone to help her.
“You know, you should call me BEFORE you get into trouble sometimes.” A voice called to her, and a quick flash of bright light caused Sarah to open her eyes to see what was going on.
“Dammit! She has an Angel already! I thought she wasn't of age yet!” Sarah saw the man jump back. Looking up to her left, Kristen was there, hovering with a slight white glow to her in the darkening woods. The familiar black boots landed next to her, crunching the leaves beneath it. Her wings folded gently behind her as she landed and her hands started glowing slightly with an almost warm white light.
“So, which one of these guys to I get to take out first?” Kristen smiled down at Sarah. Sarah was just staring, completely confused at how she had got there.
“I haven’t seen you before, and I know all the Angels in this area. Who are you!?” The demon demanded. Kristen turned her attention back to the demon who was looking a little paler than before.
“The name is Crystal, and I would learn to fear it ass hole if you are gonna be picking on my Sarah here.” She said in a tone that made Sarah grin. It was the same way she would address all the bullies she took on before beating them up. Kristen cracked her knuckles loudly, and Sarah suddenly felt nostalgic at the sound, felling safe again in the shadow of her best friend.
“Crystal is it? Fine, I’ll let Shinthia deal with you. But know this, I’m keeping my eye on you Sarah Lincon!” He clapped his hand and disappeared before Sarah’s eyes. The woman who was standing next to him began to stretch.
“Such a newbie angel for not fearing me at the moment. I am one of Master’s favorites.” She grinned. Crystal just rolled her eyes and then snapped her fingers. Out of thin air a glowing sword appeared and Crystal grabbed onto the hilt as it fell in front of her. It was a very basic medium length broadsword with a hand and a half handle and a simple curved gold hilt.
She didn’t even wait for an invitation, just charged at the woman with almost impossible speed. The vampire demon hissed and jumped back just as Crystal slammed her sword into that spot. The ground exploded from the impact, sending debris flying everywhere.
“I missed? How unlike me.” Crystal teased, wiping a bit of dirt off her face. The demon looked a bit more afraid now. She had never seen a beginning Angel with this much power before. She looked around for a possible opening, and saw one as Sarah. She disappeared and reappeared behind Sarah, grabbing her around the neck. Crystal froze up.
“Try anything funny and I take your Guardians head off!” She growled. Sarah started to shake in fear. The demons skin was very cold to the touch, and when it touched a fiery pain shot through her skull. Crystal let go of her sword, which as it fell disappeared into thin air.
“Don’t hurt her! She hasn’t done anything to you!” Crystal threatened, but didn’t take a step forwards, afraid of the demons threat more. The demon laughed and pulled her arm around Sarah’s neck tighter. Sarah gagged and started to have a hard time breathing.
“My master wants her dead, so maybe I’ll just skip straight to that part and take care of you afterwords.”
Sarah started to see stars as the lack of oxygen started to get to her brain. She was afraid she was going to pass out soon. Crystal could see it happening in Sarah’s face, but was still afraid to take a step forward. Just as she was about to black out, Sarah heard in her mind a jumble of words. They made no sense to her at all, but she had this strong feeling that she should yell them out loud. As she started to utter the first word, her body began to glow with the same white light that surrounded Crystal. The demon looked down, surprised. As she finished the last word a large shock wave of energy seem to explode from Sarah’s body, sending the demon flying back into a tree behind them. Sarah’s body continued to glow, but it seemed that the energy
