"K...Kö...leil?"
I mumbled, opening my eyes and squinting in the harsh sunlight.
"Mm?"
"Are we...where are we?"
"Somewhere above the forest. Don't worry, I have got you."
I turned my head in an attempt to get a better idea of where we actually...
Yep.
We were flying.
Chuckling a little, I looked back at Köleil.
"So...wings, huh? Definitely wasn't expecting that."
"Köleil has always had the wings. I can also do more things but haven't needed to with you yet."
"...fair enough."
Feeling safe in Köleil's soft grip, I relaxed and thought pointless, endless thoughts.
"Um....James?"
"Yeah?"
I answered, not opening my eyes.
"Do...do you like Köleil?"
"Of course."
"But...do you think Köleil is a good Guardian? Do you think I am...safe?"
"Of course! I trust you, Kö. Stop worrying. I think you're amazing and always will. Okay?"
She didn't reply.
I looked at her, watching her face as she stared off into the distance with her wings silently flapping behind her. The sun shone around her, a halo of light with the skys bright, blue background completing her portrait.
Soft, pale face, big, shining eyes, beautiful, long, flowing hair...
She was the image of a goddess.
An angel.
A Guardian angel.
My Guardian.
It was then she began singing.
A beautiful, flawless melody that naturally echoed through the world.
A soft, sweet, calming voice.
"H...hey, Kö?"
"Yes?"
"I just wanna say...I...I think...you're.....I think you're-"
RING RING RING
RING RING RING
RING RING RING
Quickly, I fumbled around for my phone, hoping it didn't slip out of my pocket and fall down to the world below as I did.
"H-hello? Who's this?"
"James, it's Jayden. Where the hell are you?!"
"I'm...uh..."
In the sky being carried by a winged Köleil.
Yeah, no.
"I'm...I'm with Köleil.......shopping."
"When are you coming back?!"
"Why? What's up?"
"I-I remember Keiran!"
"What?"
"I remembered him and as soon as I did, I felt ice cold and everything went black! I don't know what's happened but I can't see anything! I-I'm scared!"
"Okay, hold on. We'll figure this out. I'll go find Nim and I promise we'll find you."
"Please...I.....what....what are you.....no....NO! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!"
"Jayden? Jayden, can you hear me?!"
"..........daaaark........."
After that small whisper in an unfamiliar voice and over a minute of violent static, the phone cut off.
"Köleil! Something happened to Jayden! Quick, we need to get home, NOW!"
"Got it. I will go to Nim and she will take us right away!"
