Prologue:New Years

It was a cold new year’s eve she was led on the damp grass with her boyfriend staring up at the cloudless sky, he turned to look at her and just smiled she smiled back and took his hand and led on his chest counting the stars, counting down. Five minutes until midnight. He pulled her on top of him and kissed her, just a slight peck but she felt warm even in the coldness of the night she returned the kiss and soon they were full-fledged making out. She heard rustling in the bushes

“What was that?” she whispered in between the kisses. He pulled her closer and continued kissing her, she pushed away and was sat up now.

“No stop, seriously what was that?” He sighed

“It's just the wind baby come...” She interrupted him.

“It wasn't and I’ve told you before don't call me your baby” Even in the darkness of the night she could make out his light blue eyes, she found them beautiful and mysterious at the same time one of the things she was so attracted to.

“It's probably just one of the lads messing around” She looked annoyed.

“I thought you said you told no one where we were so we could have privacy to... you know” He smirked and moved closer to her.

“Oh so you want to now? What about the rustling leaves” he joked. She forgot about that and in that moment all she saw was him, was this lust she felt or love something she may never be able to figure out. The got back into the routine and we're in the process of making out again. Rustle. She decided to ignore it as just some animal moving around a bird possibly. Rustle, rustle, and rustle. She stopped again. The boy looked pissed, she felt apologetic. He got up and walked over to the bush saying as he went,

“Fine shall I get rid of this animal or whatever for you, for goodness sake girls these days” She was half tempted to say something back but she gave up on the idea and just let him figure out what the rustling was she didn't like the possibility of someone looking on her and her boyfriend. She was sorting out her hair in her compact mirror she always carried around in her pocket. She heard screaming, she looked around scared. It only took a couple of moments to realise it was her boyfriend frightened she dropped the mirror in an instance and headed towards the bushes. She had a bad feeling. She headed towards the bushes where her boyfriend just went. As soon as she got to the bushes she wished she handed there was her boyfriend led on the floor bleeding. So much blood. He couldn't survive losing that much blood she felt sick. And what was that smell. She backed away as she did  she caught glimpse of something human...no not human. She was scared what was this thing? She ran.

She checked her phone no signal, she tried to navigate through the bushes without getting lost using her phone as a flash light but forgetting her phone had low battery. She just got onto the street when her phone died she stopped to catch her breath. 'Damn' she thought she stuffed it back into her pocket and started walking down the empty street, she heard rustling behind her and didn't even wait to look behind as she ran off. She didn't know these streets, she didn't live round here. Where was everyone? it clicked there was a massive firework display at the water front everyone in the town would be there. She ran down streets not paying attention to anything just wanting to get to civilisation. She turned the corner and ran she got to the end of the street before she realised it was a dead end street with no where to go she had to go back the way she came. Unknown to her if that thing was still following her she walking back to the end of the road looking around cautiously.

She saw nothing so decided to walk she could hear people now cheering and shouting she was near, the thing wasn't around but she still felt it was best to return to everyone else. Wait was that a good idea they'd ask where he was and she couldn't say dead. She felt sick as she remember the image of him covered in blood with that thing on top of him. She was leant against a wall trying to recompose herself. She smelt a foul smell. She turned around at the end of the road where she just was and saw the thing stood... well more crouched watching her licking it's lips. It didn't take much to get her to run in that distance the cheering was getting louder.

'Ten' The countdown began as she was running down an empty road away from something that could kill her.

'Nine' The chorus of people sounded like they were counting down her life. She ran faster.

'Eight' She round a corner.

'Seven' She saw a dustbin and hid.

'Six' She thought she was safe.

'Five' She smelt the poisonous air.

'Four' she said her last prayer

'Three' She called for help "Oh Angel of thy lord rid me of this trouble and save my soul"

'Two' The creature was in front of there now

'One' These seconds were starting to feel like minutes.

'Happy New Year' The creature was upon her she was scared stiff completely frozen she felt like she was screaming but no words were coming out the creature was now licking her as if to taste her before she was devoured. A sudden realization hit her 'I'm going to die here' She thought.

She fought back with all the strength she had left but it felt like the creature was sapping her energy she was trying to push I away but it wasn't working she couldn't move her arms. What was this thing? Why hadn't it killed her yet what was it planning to do? She thought. She realised she was never going to save herself so she said the prayer again it took all her effort to say the words.

“Oh angel of thy lord rid me of this trouble and save my soul!” she didn't realise but she was shouting it. The creature seemed to respond to this and moved its claws up to her face she was prepared to die. She was losing consciousness as well so it wouldn't hurt right.

She was barely conscious when a bright blinding light the creature appeared frozen was this what your final moment looked like.

No. There was something in that light she thought. She was dying and hallucinating now, she strained her eyes to see. Wait is that a person, no she realised it was angel. An angel had actually answered her plea she thought it was just a myth.

The angel was more beautiful than stories could ever make them out to be this would be something she would remember for the rest of her life. If she wasn't killed before the angel did something that is but the creature seemed too focused on the angel as well to worry about her any more. Without her seeing it that angel had moved with such swiftness and was now holding the creature by the neck so carefully and with her other hand... wait a female angel she thought without realising the angel had offered her other hand to help her up. There isn't female angels right? Maybe she was just a very attractive male. She noticed the hand and took it. As soon as she did she felt life come back to her she no longer felt like she was losing consciousness.

She looked up into the angels eyes 'what a lovely shade of blue' she thought as she said to the angel “What will become of that uh..." She didn't know what to call it and pointed to the creature like thing in the angel’s hand. The angel smiled, the most beautiful smile the girl had ever seen before it spoke.

"Oh sinned soul wandering about,

Why not go see what hell is all about,

And when your sins are all paid for,

God will accept you at the door"

Its voice was gentle even to the creature, the creature then melted away not in a sinister way it looked peaceful the girl thought. The angel spread its wings again and hover just above the ground, readying itself to return. The girl spoke up again

"Thank you with you I would have been dead for sure, I will never forget this" At this the angel turned round and gave her a grateful smile before turning back around and whispering to itself

"This will just be a dream to you 'dormio' and with that last word the girl collapsed and fell into a deep sleep and the angel disappeared in another bright light from once it came.

Chapter 1:Special Operations

 

Heaven was a beautiful place, the land of angels, the land of god. The sky shone a brilliant blue with wonderful red streaks, the place was constantly bight even without the presence of the sun. Heaven was a place above earth, beyond the solar system which consisted of god’s creation, previous earth’s he had made in which humans had destroyed yet he kept trying to get a race in which humans aren’t greedy and destroy the world but it looked bleak. In the core of each of these earth’s belonged the sinned lands or hell as it was otherwise known in which Lucifer ruled over the corrupted and sinned souls.

The angel sat on her bed and looked down over the heavens she lived in the tallest tower of God's Palace the most important headquarters of the angels where only the most respectable and honoured angels lived. She was the most revered and talked about angel in the heavens, she was the sort of person who hated to stand help but couldn't help it because in the end she was the only female angel and she shouldn't exist. She was used to it now but she knew they all hated her.

She was the second angel to ever exist and no one knew what happened because angels were only supposed to be males but she wasn't and god refused to explain the situation even to her which left all the other angels treating her terribly. She was extremely infamous in heaven and was scorned the main reason of the other angels hatred for her is that she could love she had a heart and reproductive organs like a human, but she was an angel.

A shock to most angel when there first born is there lack of love and lack of care for anything other than there job. They were created this way to avoid the imperfections of love no one could ever understand god. There were rumours related to the first Lucifer and some believe that he had a heart also which had betrayed god and that's why he was cast down from heavens but no one ever knew he was
