Chapter 1 ~ Angel Rose Black

_______________________________________________________________

I set down the book, I just read The Legend Of The Black Nightmare Angel. It was a great story, but things like that never existed. It would have been cool if they once did though! Evil, revolting creatures roaming the earth, and tiresome heroes with supernatural powers defeating the monsters. Now that, would make my life exciting! But right now the only thing exciting in my life is my dad.

My dad was wonderful, he would sit with me when I was younger and tell me stories of supernatural creatures much like the one that I just read. And when we would go camping, he made me believe that there were monsters lurking in the forest. We did that all the time, but that changed. After my father came home from work one night, he collapsed right in front of me. I took him to the hospital and he has been there ever since. I was really shocked about what happened to him, he was always so healthy. But now he is in a hospital dying of heart failure and I do not know what to do.

Tears started to form in my eyes as I remembered that night when I nearly attacked the paramedics for even touching my dad. I ran a hands over the book that I just sat down, I let the tears finally have their way and fall down my pale cheek. I remember that my dad read every story out of this book to me, I found it laying in the bottom of one of my boxes when I moved in with my grandparents. I started to flip threw it recalling all of the stories until I came a cross the one of the Black Nightmare Angel, and that's why I am here now on the couch in my room reading the story.  I do not know why he never read this story to me, maybe he just never saw it because it was tucked in the back pages of the book. That dosen't matter, all that matters now is that I am stuck living with my grandparents with my only parent in the hospital dying.

You see, my mother died when I was six and I never thought that I would lose my dad after that, but now I am not so sure. My mom was the most amazing and beautiful woman I have ever met. Her hair was a soft caramel brown that always flowed to her waist in large curls. Her eyes were round with two pools of dark sea blue orbs in the middle. Her smile was that of an angel's, it could hypnotize anyone. And her perfect size of 5' 4' made it easier for my dad to snatch her up. But being a soldier for the army had a price, she gave her life to the service of others. She died that one night of November 4th, 2002 serving her country. Sometimes I wish that my mother wasn't so heroic, because then she would be sitting next to me now, loving me like she did before. But that is not my choice to make.

I was going to keep reading, there was another section on the Black Nightmare Angel that talked about the battle between it and Iblis, and it looked very intriguing, but there is this thing called school that I need to go to. Tomorrow is the first fay of school and I am attending a boarding school for the first time. I forget the name of it, but I heard that it is a very pristine school. Wonderful. I got up and untangled myself from the warm blanket that I was engulfed in and made my way to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and threw on my plaid blue pj pants and a black tank top. Wondering groggily from the bathroom, I managed some how to enter my bedroom and plop myself down upon my bed. Once my face hit the pillow, I was out.

I woke up the next morning to the sound of my alarm clock screaming at me to get up. I, being me, slammed my hand on top of the already damaged clock hoping that it would magically shut up itself. But of course, that did not work. So I rolled out of bed only to belly-flopped onto the floor and smell how badly I needed to clean my room, I do this nearly everyday. "Really? Please give me at least one day where I do not need to smell my floor." I cried out to a black ceiling. Yup, I am going mentally insane. I walk into the bathroom and take a shower, then I walk into my room and pick out a black tank top with a black and blue plaid shirt unbuttoned. Then I take my black skinny jeans and light blue converse shoes to top it off. I apply a small amount of makeup on and make my way down stairs to eat my breakfast.
