It was a nice day out. We were all walking in Amya's favorite park, Newman's Park, before her birthday party. I was nervous as hell. The angel hadn't come yet and I can't predict when they come. Amya's yell brought me out of my daydream. "I want to go on the swings!" She tells pointing at the swings. "I'll take her." Alec says chuckling. He takes her over to the swings while I sit on a bench nearby watching.
I am distracted by a beautiful little bluejay for a minute but when I look back they are gone. I get up off the bench and race to where they just were. The playground is completely empty and I have no idea where they could have gone. I search the entire area near there.
I finally find them by the lake. Alec is keeping Amya behind him and is fighting off something. I don't what until I get close enough to see that it is an angel. She is trying to say something but he is to bust trying to hit with a stick. He succeeds and she cries out in pain. Another angel appears this time male. He inspects the female for wounds and when he finds one her turns to Alec rage clear in his eyes. Alec takes a step back and i race towards them but I am not quick enough.
The angel takes out his sword and and stabs Alec in the chest. I race towards them crying. I hold Alec's dead body close and glare at the angels. The female yells at the male and walks towards me. "I am sorry for your loss. My husband should not have done that and trust me he will pay." She says. I nod my body numb. She asks to see Amya and I let her. She gathers Amya in her arms calming her down.
About thirty minutes after they leave we are found by a young woman. at first she looks puzzled bit then she sees Alec's body and gasps. She reaches into her bag and pulls out a phone. She calls the police and then sits down and tries to comfort me.
A little while later the police show up and they take Alec's body away and then they take Amya in the opposite direction. I scream in protest reaching for my daughter but someone holds me back. They drive me to the station and ask questions. After a little while I am sent back to my house and my family is waiting for me. I break down in their arms.
The next week it is Alec's funeral and I reluctantly agree to go. the entire time I refuse to speak holding Clarissa close to my chest. I can't watch as they lower his body down into the ground. I need to stop this I think. I can't lose anyone else but what do I do. Nothing.
