A Girl in My Life

– Look, it was nothing serious, we bandaged her head, but we did some tests and she is lacking many vitamins, that’s why she fainted after having her head bandaged – together with the human I attentively listen to each word said by the doctor.

– Thank you doctor, I was desperate, seeing her in that pool of blood made my heart freeze – “it was not only your human” – I comment in thought.

Elisa is lying in the stretcher, we are in a public hospital, but it was a great service, and thanks to you she doesn’t run any risk of life and that makes me relieved. I let my shoulders slump tiredly, being worried is very tiring.

– I advise you to buy some vitamins and more fruit for the little one’s diet – the doctor says as he writes down the name of the vitamins on a piece of paper.

– I will provide them – he says finally, taking the prescription from the doctor’s hand.

The human picks Elisa and goes out of the hospital, Zaniel and I follow him. I’m still upset with his disregard, but better to let it go, she doesn’t run any risk of life anymore. George arranges the girl in her car seat, kisses her forehead and smoothes her little face, his gaze transmits so much love, I’m happy that she has such a loving father. Soon he goes to the driver’s seat, this time I got in the car too, I sat on one side of Elisa and Zaniel sat on the other. Elisa’s father’s guardian angel is sitting in the front seat. I cannot see him, he hides his presence, but I know he is there, I can only see Zaniel because we are partners.

– Forgive me my child, forgive me – his voice quavers with the tears that fall in his eyes – Y.. you are only in this situation because of me, if I had not made the mistake of putting someone else’s health ahead of you today you would not be suffering like this. – I feel compassion for this man’s regret, his words are sincere – I’m such an idiot! How could I knock my own daughter to the ground? – he takes one of his hands off the wheel and gives her a strong slap on the head – But I promise you, I’ll do everything so you can have a normal life, I’ll find a way to pay for your treatment….

“Boompppp” A car comes in the wrong way, its headlights are too high, George didn’t have time to react and the two cars collide, and this collision makes his car overturn and only stop when it hits porte, however my only concern is Elisa, I look to the side and I don’t see Zaniel, where is he? Elisa is now awake and crying a lot, I did everything I could for her not to get hurt, but the carriage almost went through her body, it stopped glued on her arm leaving it well bruised and bleeding. “At least she’s not risking her life”- I sigh relieved.

I look to the front part and see that everything is broken, the human body was thrown out of the car, I look in his direction he is unconscious, his arms and legs are broken and you can see the bone. I feel my stomach turn, the puddle of blood underneath him only grows, I feel my heart miss a beat, tears want to come out, but I don’t allow, I look one last time to Elisa, I can’t leave her feeling so much pain, I concentrate on the palm of my hand and I pass on her arm stopping the bleeding, then I get out of the car, I want to see where Zaniel is, the job of protecting her is his, and once again he is not here for her, and this is really pissing me off.

I get out of the car and feel my eyes widen and shiver in front of the scene: Zaniel is with the sword that only now I missed my waist, he is fighting against three fallen, and he is not losing, he seems to dance in the battle, the fallen are desperate going up to him but he calmly pulls the wings of the enemies and blood sprays everywhere. I feel my bones tremble, even though I have trained hard I could never do what Zaniel does in battle. My mouth goes dry, my fingertips freeze, the feeling of Dejavu is present, and to see it all again makes my stomach churn.

– Anael, watch out! – Zaniel shouts towards me after eliminating the enemies.

I feel again the slow motion sensation, I look back and a fallen angel is on top of me with his sword almost hitting me, I try to run but I can’t be fast enough, feel the sharp blade of the enemy severing my right wing, it was surreal, see it fall on the ground made everything around me freeze, I feel my knees weaken and they fall on the ground, I can’t hold my tears, the pain on my back is too much, I feel every muscle miss and complain about the lost wing.

AHHHHHHHHH – I scream as loud and strong as possible.

Again the fallen angel comes towards me, this time he tries to rip my head off, but Zaniel’s sword defends me, I turn my face to the ground and again I squirm in pain, my tears fall incessantly.

“wiii – wooo – wiii – wooo” This loud and shrill sound catches my attention, I look and see policemen and paramedics coming out of some brightly coloured cars. The paramedics are divided in two groups, one goes to Elisa’s father and the other goes to see what’s inside the car. the cops are taking care of the other young people that were on the wrong side of the road and caused the accident, none of them is seriously hurt, and that makes me even more angry, my poor girl is there all hurt while they are drunk and fine!Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

I try to get up, but the hallucinating pain makes me weak again, Zaniel takes my arm and passes it through his neck.

– You need to get back to paradise now! – he says as he flies with me away from Elisa.

– No… Elisa… Elisa el… a can’t… – the darkness is weighing on my eyes, not allowing me to finish the sentence.

– She’ll be fine, I need you now to just get back, before the humans notice you!

That’s all I hear before I close my eyes completely.
