Guardian Angels by Misty (books to read to be successful .TXT) 📖

nodded her head. Sarah rubbed her eyes and shook her head back and forth. She then opened them slowly again, but the Angel was still there.
“I’m still dreaming back in the nurses office, that’s what is going on.” Sarah laughed, smacking herself in the face, trying to wake herself up. Kristen rolled her eyes.
“Have you started to see things that other people couldn’t see?” She asked. Sarah stopped, startled by the question. She looked Kristen in the eyes.
“Yes. I have actually. A couple by the parking lot of McDonald’s, and this guy in a red sports car. I thought I saw someone in the nurses office today too. But I swear they weren’t there when I walked in.” She paused. “I’m crazy! I’m just completely and totally crazy!” She began hitting herself in the head. Kristen just laughed.
“You’re not crazy, about this stuff I mean. You were always a bit crazy.” Sarah just kept staring at her. “I know I used to laugh at you about when you told me you would see people out of the corner of your eyes, or felt someone watching you. But now I understand what was going on with you.” Kristen looked puzzled when she paused. “Are my wings bothering you? I can make them go away again.” She asked. With that though, she closed her eyes and concentrated again. Her body glowed, and the wings disappeared. Sarah kept staring.
“Oh, you’ll get use to it. It’ll go faster once I practice more.” She laughed again.
“Why can I see you?” Sarah asked again.
“Because, you are what they call a Guardian. Someone who can see Spirits, Angels, and Demons. I am officially a Guardian’s Angel; an Angel assigned to a Guardian to protect them and help keep Demons from taking over the living world. It also means I have special powers too.” Kristen grinned at this part. Sarah just blinked, completely confused.
“Let’s just say, you’re stuck with me for a while.”
“Wait, I can see ghosts?” Sarah asked, backing up the conversation a bit.
“Spirits as they call them, yes. Angels and Demons too. It’s something you’re born with, but doesn’t really show itself till your old enough to handle it. You powers actually matured way before they were supposed to, according to that old guy that told me stuff. That's why you always felt like someone was watching you.” Kristen explained. Without the wings, Sarah was feeling a bit more comfortable around Kristen, almost to the point where she felt she was just hanging out with her again.
“So, do I have special powers too?” Sarah asked, looking at her hands. Kristen nodded her head.
“Yeah, you do, but I don’t know how they work. We either have to find another Guardian, or you have to figure it out on your own. There is still a lot about my powers I have no clue about. They gave me basic training and sent me back to the living world, as they call it. I know just enough to keep minor demons at bay.” She sighed.
“Wait, demons might attack me?” Sarah sounded scared. Kristen nodded her head.
“They tend to attack anyone who can see them I guess. That’s why a Guardian is never without training or an Angel, or so they told me. If it wasn’t me, you would eventually have been assigned an Angel anyways.” Kristen shrugged her shoulders. “There are some Guardians that don’t have Angels, but they are very skilled with their powers and don’t need extra support of an Angel. They are very rare around here at least.” Kristen started to float again, lying down as she did it. Sarah just stared. Then she shook her head back and forth.
“Why does all this bad stuff happen to me? First I loose you to that stupid red car no one can see, and now I’m going to get attack by demons. What’s next, I’m going to be able to walk through walls and shoot magical beams from my finger tips?” Sarah got up to leave, throwing her hands up in defeat. “This is just too weird for me!” She started to head for the gate.
“Sarah wait! I need to give you something!” Kristen called. Sarah stopped in her tracks. Kristen never gave her anything, was this some joke. She turned around to see a small choker necklace with a crystal jewel on it.
“I know it’s not really your style, but please wear it. That way I can always know where you are, and you can call me if you get into trouble.” Kristen floated over and placed the necklace in Sarah’s hands. Sarah stared at it, baffled by the jewels beauty.
“I know this is all hard to take in, but please, just think about it for a little while. I’m still the same Kristen you grew up with, except I’m kind of dead. But, being dead does have its perks.” Kristen smiled. Sarah looked into Kristen’s blue eyes, and she started to cry.
“This is all my fault. If only I had been paying attention to where I was going instead of being mad at you. I’m so sorry! I take back everything I ever said to you that day. I had no right to accuse you; I had no evidence of anything, except rumors.” Sarah fell to her knees, head in her hands. Kristen landed on the ground, kneeling next to Sarah. She hugged Sarah around the shoulders.
“Your body, its so warm Kristen.” Sarah said a bit shocked. “Aren’t dead things supposed to be cold?” Kristen didn’t answer. Sarah looked up and saw that Kristen had disappeared, and it was nothing but the sun warming her body.

Chapter 3

Yawning, Sarah pulled the sheets off her tired body and climbed out of her warm cozy bed. Yesterday’s activities had kept her up all night, so she had barely gotten to sleep when her alarm went off. Her hair was a mess, and her eyes were slightly red from crying in her sleep. She was starting to think everything was a bad dream. Looking around, she saw the necklace Kristen had given her sitting on her nightstand. She picked it up gently, seeing that it was more like a choker, with heavenly soft leather. In the center of the necklace was what seemed to be a jewel made of pure crystal. It was circular, and shined off all the light in her room. It was so beautiful Sarah couldn’t take her eyes off it. She unlatched it and tied it around her neck. The leather felt natural against her neck. She closed her eyes and then opened them slowly, and saw someone standing outside her window. She shook her head and the person wasn’t there when she looked again. Sarah shrugged and blamed it on lack of sleep.
She gathered her things and headed down to the kitchen. Both her parents were in business, so she was left alone a lot on the weekends. It used to be the perfect time for her and Kristen to just hang out at her house. Sarah shook her head; she had been thinking about Kristen way to much. She noticed a note on the table and picked it up.
“Sarah dear, we wont be home for dinner tonight. We left you some take-out money in the normal place. Please try to do something fun today.” She read it out loud. She sighed and looked in the cookie jar. There sat twenty dollars like every other weekend lately. Pizza for dinner again, cheese and sausage, which made her slightly chuckle. The man who ran the local Pizza Parlor knew her order by heart and already had one made when she would call. Sarah placed the money in her pocket and proceeded to make herself a bowl of cereal, cutting fresh bananas into it.
After contemplating what she could possibly do today over a second bowl of cereal, she decided that a simple walk around town would be useful to clear her mind of everything that had happened.
The town she lived in, though not very big, contained a fairly decent sized suburb area where she lived that was only a couple blocks down from a small shopping district; all in walking distance of course.
Mid-day Saturday was a prime time to see people from outside the town window shopping and just being amazed at all the home made jewelry and the fresh smelling baked goods. Sarah’s nose picked up on a new smell coming from the bakery, and that dragged her over that way.
“Hey, Sarah! Parents not home again?” Cass yelled from behind the counter as Sarah walked in. Cass worked at the Bakery on the weekends to get some extra cash for her bad partying habits.
“Yeah basically, they are both supposed to be going to Hong Kong in the next couple of weeks. They have been doing a lot of extra hours on the weekends to prepare.” Sarah took a seat at one of the small table as Cass brought out a tray of butter biscuits and sat down next to her.
“Love the new choker! Where did you get that? Is it diamond?!” Cass asked, getting a closer look at Sarah’s necklace. Sarah looked at her funny and then remembered the necklace.
“Oh, this thing, I um…” she paused for a moment. Sarah didn’t believe that Cass would really believe her if she said where she really got it. “…found it in my mom’s closet. She had a box of old stuff and I asked her about them and she said I could have them.” Sarah made up. She felt bad for lying to her friend, but telling her that she saw Kristen and she was an angel and all that other stuff that had happened yesterday just didn’t seem like the right idea, she was still having a hard time believing it herself.
“Wow, it’s gorgeous. If you have any more of those could you send one my way!” Cass laughed picking up a biscuit. Sarah bit into one too, savoring its flavor. There was a slight hint of garlic, which meant that Cass had made these herself. She had the best recipe for a garlic butter spread that was so subtle in its garlic flavor, but still had enough flavor to realize it was garlic bread.
“These are
