Heaven Sent

Lilli

 Chapter One

Years ago, the world lived in peace. Until the Fallen Angels started rioting the streets of the humans and destroying the balance. The Demons created Chaos, even haunted humans dreams and lives; the humans were living in fear. So the Queen of the Angels sent down her precious Angels to calm the Demons and restore peace. Of course, this is a long process considering I am here to calm one certain Demon who's been causing a lot of mayhem lately. Jack.

...

"Honey, it's time to get up!" Tabatha said. Tabatha is my mother, but not really. While I'm here, they put me in a fake family and when I'm done they erase their memories of ever having a daughter. I get up out of bed, I don't actually sleep, considering I don't need it. I stay up and work on learning more about my case. Jack has a rough past life. He was abandoned at age 11 and left to fend for himself. He died when he was 18 because men set his house on fire. Maybe I could help him by letting him accept his past.

Maybe.

I open my door and head downstairs.

"Lilli, what are you going to do today?" Frankie slurred. Frankie is also my, fake, alcoholic dad.

"I'm going to head out to work soon then stop by the cafe with Emily and Shawn." I said, annoyed with how much he needed to know about what I'm doing, considering he was drunk still.

"Alright, well, be good!" Tabatha said, eyeing her husband, clearly upset with him being drunk. She's been fighting with him for years to stop drinking but even more so now. She puts her hand on my shoulder. Suddenly, I'm yanked into a memory of hers when she was screaming at Frankie and crying that he should be better, he should be better. "You're better than this! You can be better than this if you just try, damn it!" Frankie just sat there watching his soccer, not even flinching. I urged myself out of her mind and focused on the present.

"-and we both love you so much so be careful out there, little lady." She was saying.

"Okay, I love you both too. I should go now." I say, still surprised by Tabatha's memory. I close the door behind me and walk to my car. You see, I have a special power. I can see others memories when they touch me or even if I brush hands with someone. I'm jolted into a deep memory of theirs, without their consent, I don't know why I have this power but I do.

I pull out of the driveway and drive down to the creek and get out. I stumbled down the side of the creek and took off my shoes. I sat on a rock by the bridge and set my feet in the water. I close my eyes.

I hear the birds chirping and the water flowing. I feel the hot rays of sunshine hit my eyelids and miss my wings, my beautiful long white wings. I miss the wind playing my hair and I suddenly realize that the humans are missing out on so much. The fun of playing around in the clouds and the Cloud Kingdom. And the Queen, Queen Priscilla, she's so beautiful and kind. She loves all her little Angels, and we all love her. She's like our big mom, she's my true mother and my best friend.

"You look so peaceful," A voice behind me said. I jump and look around, not finding where the voice came from. "How are you so peaceful, it's just nature." Finally she sees the shadow under the bridge.

"Nature is beautiful," I point out. "Can't you see?"

"No, you're more beautiful." He murmured so quiet I barely heard him.

"I-I'm not r-really." I say, baffled from his compliment. He laughs.

"I should go now, pretty lady, it was nice to make your acquaintance."

"Wait!" I hadn't even seen his face before he turned around and walked behind the bridge. I got up and ran under the bridge but when I got there no one was there, it was like he vanished.
