I screamed and quickly turned around. I ended up tripping over one of my feet and I fell back down.

The lady and a man with black hair laughed, whereas the other man just rolled his eyes at me and crossed his arms.

"How does she expect to be one of us if she can't even walk correctly?" The man with gray hair sneered at me.

I glared at him. "Well excuse me. I've never been on a cloud before."

"Ooh, I like her. She's feisty." Black haired guy laughed as he stuck his hand out to help me. "I'm Kenword."

"Kasey." I mumbled as I looked over his shoulder at the crowd that was gathering around us.

"Nice to meet you." Kenword smiled. "This right here is Alvar and that grumpy man is Max."

"It's Maximus to you." He said with an edge.

I don't like him.

"She looks so young."

"Oh her poor parents."

"I wonder what happened."

"Is she going to be a guardian?"

I gulped as I heard some of the chatter that was going around the crowd, but the last one caught my attention.

Guardian? What is that?

"Can I ask where I am?" I asked quietly.

"Oh!" Alvar blushed. "Silly us. You're in heaven dear."

I stared at her for a second before I busted out laughing.

"Oh my gosh. That's funny." I laughed wiping a tear from my eye. "Ha! You said I'm in heaven. That's gold."

"I'm not kidding dear." Alvar said concerned as she looked at Maximus and Kenword.

"I got this." Maximus said.

I watched amazed as he started to glow and two giant wings came out.

"Y-you...angel." I mumbled as everything turned black.

"Is she alive?" A gentle voice asked.

I groaned as I sat up and rubbed the back of my throbbing head.

"Yeah, she's alive." Kenword laughed.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You fainted when I showed you my true form." Maximus informed me.

"Oh right." I let out a nervous chuckle. "You're an angel."

"We all are." Maximus corrected. "And so are you."

"What?" I screamed.

He was about to open his mouth, but the door opened.

"There you are Maximus!" A short man yelled running in. "I was looking everywhere for you. Has the new angel arrived yet?"

I watched as everyone pointed to me and the short man turned around.

He smiled as he ran up to give me a hug. "Ah, Kasey. Nice to finally meet you. I've heard such great things about you."

"Y-you have?" I asked shocked. "How do you know me?"

"God has told me so much about you."

"G-God?" I stuttered. "As in, the big man upstairs?"

"The one and only." He nodded. "I'm Caesar."
