Kylie POV
I have been here nearly a month now. Life has been really good here. Their pack is very welcoming. I have been eating properly and gaining the weight I should be. I train with their warriors. This place here is beautiful. They are changing my life, honestly. My wolf is always happy, well mostly.she still wants her mate, but somehow, we can just tell it's important to be here. There's something here that I need to do, to figure out. More than I already have. I've already found out so much about me, but there's still more.
**back to the night they got there**
Zoey was still in the shower and ivy had her back turned to me, but still talking.
“Do you know what we are, what you are?”
“Um..no” she looked at the clock on her wall, then smiled.
“Let's step outside real fast. I will show you.”
I followed her outside, as we began to walk a bit. The atmosphere seemed to be glowing at this hour. It's so...magical. The sky had paint tints of pink, orange, and purple. The sun had a bright yellow, orange glow to it. That seemed to reflect off all the pristine buildings, and the people that roamed the grounds. I watched in amazement as the people walked, enjoying the glowing sun.
All of the people around had wings. Huge wings that gracefully hung from their shoulders. The wings were all different colors, blue, pink, light brown, black, green. Their wings glowed as they soaked up the sun. Some of them were flying around, others had their wings panned out. Most just had them resting, they barely came to their ankles. I was stunned, my jaw dropped, I turned my head to look at ivy. Only even more surprised to see her wings. A pretty sage green color, it suits her well. She smiled.
“Each of our wing colors represent something different. We are Angels. My wings represent the earth. I am a plant angel. I tend to many living plants. It's my job to keep them safe, and lively. I can bring life to plants. Similar to an elf. They are very connected to earth life, as am i.”
“I thought angels would have white wings.” she laughed.
“Many do. But it's not true, infact, white wings are pretty rare. The tricky part is white wings represent more than one thing. Most other colors only have one element to them. White wings have more than one.
Our leader has white wings, she has a pure heart. The purest in our choir. her wings are also larger than ours. Representing she is powerful, a leader. Like an alpha is larger in size to their pack.
She was gifted white wings not only showing a rare pure heart, but to stand out, so others could see her power clearly. And like white wings show pure, they show light as well.
We are known as guardian angels. Protectors of all supernatural. Us lower levels are guards of our specialty. I am a guardian of life, plant life. White wings can be guardians of a choir or, guardians of light. There's alot to that. They are complicated angels. We all have powers that fit with our specialty.”
“Wow..that's….amazing.” I was at a loss for words. It was so much to take in. Angels?
“You, my dear. Are one of us. You are an angel.” jaw. Dropped. WHAT?
“What do you mean, I'm an angel? How can you tell?”
“Well I can smell it. Also we have a sense that helps us track others of our kind. Because angels have powers, they should be properly trained from a young age. Help learning how to use their wings, how to fly, and control them.
Much like wolves, they can have a mind to their own. They are a part of us, another soul. It's odd really, but they are given to us to help instruct us, and help guide us. When the angel counterpart has made up their mind, they are driven to that.
Like if they feel another angel in danger, a friend, family, or partner, they may take over. Much like a wolf. I can feel yours has made a presence. But I can tell she is not fully awaken yet. It seems you are not ready for her yet. Which is fine, but I can also tell your body is weak and fragile. So you will be starting a new diet.
Eat as much as possible. Supernatural creatures burn calories like its water. Another is to not overwork out. You should have some fat on you, not all muscle. It's important to have muscle incase os a fight. It's amazing you have visible muscle on you given you have a lack of nutrients problem. You're dehydrated.
Have you received any of your powers yet? Know what color your wings are? I can tell you what they mean, if you can tell me that they look like..or show me. I can tell you are only part angel..which parent is the angel?”
“Um….my mom? Also i cant bring my wings out.'' I don't remember my mom being an angel. I thought she shifted into a wolf. Maybe I'm wrong. All the memory seems fuzzy. But my father is definitely a wolf.
"Oh ok. That's alright we will figure it out. How many times have your wings come out? And how many times has she spoken to you? This should tell me where we stand right now.”
“Um well..one time..for both. I don't remember everything.” i trailed off
“That's fine. Can you tell me what you do remember, what she said exactly? Maybe a hint for when she is ready to come out. Or what we can do to help.”
Oooh this is hard. But if it will help, here goes. “Well, um she told me ‘this time i will save you’”
“Hm, um. Ok. what was she referring to..?” I choked back the tears.
“I'd rather not talk about it.”
She nodded. We sat there a moment longer. Gazing at the sight before us. The peace. The beauty. The golden rays from the sun shine onto all their wings. Giving them the glory they deserve. There's something about the sun that gives me a piece of mind.
I feel connected to it somehow. Maybe that's why I love sunsets so much. As Well as sunrises. You see the sun is like our protector. Never ruling the world, but we can't live without it. The sun not only provides light, but life. It makes plants capable of growing further, it provides a way to see.
Something to look forward to each day, and knowing each day it will be there. The warmth it provides makes people smile. It brings people together. We always depend on it, knowing it's always there. Each morning and evening the colors of the world are shown in the sky, thanks to our sun.
We finally turn back and head to her cottage. I love the way it looks, and it suits her very well. I mean after all, she is a plant guardian angel. So it's obvious she would have all this plant life around her. That's what she is connected to. We walk through her door to see Zoey coming down the hallway. A smile graces her face. I'm so glad to see her happy. I hope life only gets better from here on out. Ivy pulls the food out of the oven. That must be how she kept it warm.
We gather round the table to eat. It smells delicious! My mouth waters as the aroma floods me. A wonderful pasta is placed in front of me. I don't bother to determine what kind, as i impatiently stuff my face. Hopefully tomorrow is just as good.
**back to current time**
Im admiring the wonderful scenery here as i walk on the lively path to the main house. I head straight for the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. After that i think i have some magic training. As soon as I walk into the kitchen something strikes me. Something warm, and welcoming. It feels like a part of my soul has just been filled. I stand there for a second, questioning what just happened.
I shake it off and walk over to the counter. Glancing around I see their leader. She's like the alpha angel. She's so pretty, currently she's talking to someone that looks familiar. I see the girl she is with start to cry and i feel like i should be crying too.
The leader quickly hugs her, comforting her. My attention snaps back to the counter when I hear, “What can I get for ya kylie?” “Oh, um. I was hungry, but I'm..not anymore.” I said in a questioning tone.She only looked at me a second longer before turning away. Something just felt off. I was about to turn back around when I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the girl that was crying. I was about to speak but she beat me to it.
“Your name is Kylie, right?” she asked in a raw voice, her expression was one of hope. Like she was praying my name was kylie.
“Yes, it's Kylie. I'm sorry you are upset, is there anything I can do to help? I feel very..connected to you.” she smiled as she started crying more. I embraced her in a hug, feeling protective of her. Between sobs she said
“ your part wolf, i can smell it- i think- you're the one i've been searching for.” she mumbles. leaving me confused. Now she was hysterically crying. Tears formed in my eyes. It's like I'm emotionally connected to her. A piece of my heart tore when I looked at her tear stained face.the pain dug deep in my bones, like a mother to their young, i wanted to do anything to stop those tears. This girl appeared young. A few years younger than me, so early teens maybe.
I wanted to hurt whoever made her feel this way. One look from her felt like, my family is being pierced back together..she felt like family. And I don't even know her. I don't even know her name. She is merely a stranger to me, and it feels like she could put my world back together. Goddess what is happening, and who is she? She finally stepped back. I got a full look at her, pretty blue eyes, fair colored skin, pretty dirty blonde hair. Almost as tall as me, but not quite. She had a cute round face.
“I-i-i i have to go.” she quikly scurried away. Tears streamed down her face as she bolted away from me. I know I'm being dramatic but it felt like being rejected from someone you love. Who is this girl?!
