– Ahhhhhhhh! – I look with a frown at the human who is on a hospital gurney, everything indicates that she is giving birth – Ahhhhhh! – with each cry of pain she gives tears run from her eyes mixing with the sweat that runs from her forehead, her blond hair is sticking on her face because of the sweat.
At her side a human, with curly dark brown hair, and pale skin is holding the human’s hand, I assume to be her companion, and father of the baby that is coming to be part of this horrible world, I feel sorry for this child, the human’s legs are shaking, his eyes are closed tightly, I do not understand why so much fear.
We simply appear here, in this small place filled by the cries of pain of this human. To pass through the portal, is not so simple, angels without authorization, or without a high position in paradise, cannot pass. Suriel is part of the angels with authority to cross the portal, he is commander of the protectors class, so he has permission to cross whenever he needs to, already the angels in charge of protecting need to have in writing an authorization to deliver to the guards of the portal every day, these authorizations are stamped and then they come back to Suriel’s hand.
“For what reason Suriel brought me here?-” I ask myself in thought.
I look at Suriel and he is with his arms crossed staring at the human’s delivery, which doesn’t stop screaming even for a single instant. I wonder why childbirth hurts so much. Could this be why angels are not allowed to procreate with another angel?
I don’t want to stay here, I don’t like it here, this is not a good place! The birth of a human is not a pretty sight either! The woman’s vagina has a lot of blood in it, and although I have been treated by you, I still don’t feel comfortable seeing blood, even if it is human blood.
– Bala! Boo! – a loud and shrill cry of a new born baby makes itself present.
I come out of my thoughts when I hear the cry of the baby that has just been born. The human doctor responsible for the birth pulls the child from the woman’s womb and hands it to another woman, dressed in white, she wraps the baby in a white blanket, the human who was holding the human’s hand left her and went to get the small package from the nurse’s lap.
Even though I don’t like it here, the way the human looks at the baby makes me look at him closely, unlike the first human father I saw, this one has nothing but love in his eyes, while the other was hatred and contempt, this one is love and affection.
Tumm… tumm… tumm…
I stop admiring the unusual scene when I hear this noise coming from the little machine, the doctors start running to the human on the stretcher, a chill forms at the foot of my stomach, a bad feeling hits me making me tremble a little, I feel my wings shiver.
The human looks at the scene with wide eyes, I see his body shaking and his heart beating very strong, you can see the fear transpiring in each tremor of his body.
The doctors managed to stabilize the human, but she is unconscious, I look again at the human, he is in shock, his eyes wide open, he does not understand why the silence coming from the human, his arms slacken.
And then everything goes by in slow motion through my eyes, I feel all my hair and even my wing feathers start to shiver, and a protective instinct dominates me, it takes possession of my whole being and every muscle of mine moves as fast as possible to the baby, I stretch my arm as much as I can in order to reduce the impact of the baby’s little head on the ground with the palm of my hand.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Soon one of the humans dressed in blue clothes, known as the room attendant, comes as fast as he can too, he picks up the baby from the floor who starts crying more than anything for the pain he is feeling.
My heart squeezes, such a helpless being….
“How did that human have the courage to do that to such a pure and innocent being!?” – I feel an anger growing inside me, my countenance closes, I know I can’t, but I am feeling anger towards this human, I don’t understand why, but the anger seems to be worse than when I felt for that rubbish human being I first saw.
I will have to go to confession one more time with you… – I sigh defeated.
But… How can he do that!?
With that I am reminded again why I despise so much this creation, which doesn’t know how to distinguish right from wrong, and when it does, it prefers to stay with the wrong for fear of fighting for the right.
– Let’s go! – determines Suriel holding with his right hand my left shoulder.
I look at him, how come he simply says let’s go?
– But… But what about the baby? Why did you bring me to see this! – I ask already feeling my eyes wet with rage for having had to witness this pitiful scene of the baby hurting himself.
– This baby is your mission, Anael”, says simple.
– How so! – I ask perplexed with such information.
– You will be the guardian angel responsible for this little girl.
Now everything makes sense in my mind.
Why me?
Why not Zuniel?
He is also a guardian angel and likes to observe the human world! Why can’t I be part of the warrior guardian angel class?
Nervous, I run my hands through my hair and walk back and forth inside the small room.
– Let’s go Anael – says Suriel once again.
– And the baby? – I remember her, the only innocent being here.
– Tomorrow you will start your mission to keep this baby.
– But already? – Without any warning, just tomorrow?
