Story: 2
Once upon a time, there was an angel, who fell from the sky and broke her wings
She was injured and couldn't find a way to get back home...
The angel decided to roam the streets of the Earth in search for someone who would help
She went on for days and days looking for one nice person but found none.
She knocked the doors of all the rich people, went to castles, villas and even the fancy buildings looking for someone to help, for they have the potentials, but sadly, nobody paid her attention.
One day, she got to an old street, a narrow road where darkness reighned and silence was King. The only voices heard were those of rats and snakes
She was scared and wanted to run away, but the dull light coming from a particular face made her stop and stay where she was. It was a human face, molded into the dirt of the street.
She met with a beggar, a little kid just about her age, if not, a little older. The kid's face was white, she'd known because the skin was still pure even if it was underneath the dirt. The kid's eyes were a light brown that told a story too sad to be read out loud. And this is why, the angel thought, the kid was so silent
The angel wanted to get to know the kid a little more. She didn't know why but something about that kid attracted her. There was something wrong with her, how couldn't she turn her back on a kid she doesn't even know?
She approached a little, getting in return an escape, and as she continued approaching the kid kept backing away until the wall came as a barrier
The kid had no escape and was forced to face the angel. However, the kid was blinded by the light that came from the angel, a light never seen before by the eyes...
The angel started talking and immediately told the kid everything that happened to her, from the moment she fell from the sky until the moment she got here. The kid listened with surprise, having never talked to an angel before
The kid then stood up, took the angel's hand bu soon felt not worthy of holding such a beautiful hand. So the kid let go and motioned to the angel to follow.
They soon arrived to the end of the dark street, where slept at peace, a deep blue lake.
The angel was astonished, she could have never imagined that something so beautiful would be at the end of something so dark and sinister
The kid flinched as the water showed the kid's reflection. But despite that, the kid took the angel and sat her on the edge of the lake, rinsing her broken wing with water before pulling a cloth of the dirty clothes the kid had on, washing it with water and putting it on the broken wing.
The angel was surprised. Never had she imagined that this would happen one day. After what happened, the kid opened up to the angel, telling her the story that got the kid in that place...
From that moment on, the kid allowed the angel to heal the scars life had written on the kid's skin just like the kid healed the angel's broken wing.
The end.
