My name is Lux, meaning light. I was born in Heaven and grew up there. I am a guardian angel. So yes I am a guardian of a human but also a guardian of Heaven. The girl I watch over and have watched over since she was created is Willow, same age as me, but she struggles with a lot. I had known of her past, her anxiety, depression, self harm, and being bullied but there was never much I could do from Heaven except watch over her, let her feel comfort at times, and guide her in the right direction. Unfortunately I can't control the other people in her life, all I can do is watch.

Until that morning. I had woke up just like it was any other day. I got out of bed, put on my robes, hid my sword from sight, stretched my wings and went out to accomplish my daily duties. As I walked up to Jesus he had a strange look upon his face. Almost as if he her nervous for me to approach. As I did he spoke slowly and attentively, "Lux, as you know, the girl you watch over, Willow, is in a bad spot and hasn't gotten any better. Her decisions and the people's around her I cannot change. In a few days she plans on taking her life and we are not ready for her yet. My last option without breaking the rules is to send you to Earth."

It is funny how when you are shocked it is like the world slows down in that moment. Maybe its just to let your mind comprehend what is happening or maybe it is because your mind is simply losing it. Either way that moment slowed entirely. Of course I had known of angels sent to Earth but me? I was always more of a warrior, not a friend. But duties of an angel are unpredictable especially when you follow the orders of God, because let me tell you, he doesn't exactly go with the normal options. But, I guess in this case there are none.

After snapping back to reality, headed home to pack my things to prepare to fall to Earth. Thankfully, I had watched Willow go through school so I already had a basic idea of how it worked, not to mention I spent many sleepless nights studying to better understand everything, including reading human books and listening to things outside of harp, piano, and orchestra music. All I needed to do was come up with my story, where I am going to live, and what I am going to wear, because I can't imagine that going to an American high school wearing long white, silk robes or gleaming metal armor would be very "normal."

That night I descended to Earth. It was a very peaceful thing at that. I stood at the form and waited until a long white cloth came behind me and folded me into it. I sunk down to Earth watching the stars above me as I went. Eventually I hit the ground and what surrounded me was tall pines everywhere and through the brush a faint yellow glow of a street light. I had already placed my order for the apartment I chose which I had to guess was right down the street. Turns out I was right and made it there. After setting up my things I changed into the simple human outfit I had been given by one of the administrative angels and headed out to my car.

I drove to the shopping center or what humans call, "the mall." When I got inside I decided my best bet was going to be in a simple store I came across called Aeropostale. As soon as I was in I went for my go to outfits. I grabbed 4 slightly different red flannels, a pair of black tights, black shorts, black ankle high boots, two pairs of black skinnies, various different shirts, and black hoodie, a white beanie, rose gold aviators, some rings, some earrings, and some bracelets. Thank God (quite literally) I was given an unlimited credit card. It made life very easy. After going there I stopped by a cosmetics store called Ulta. There I grabbed some, mascara, eyeliner, matte nude (coffee shop shade) lipstick, and a mint flavored Eos chapstick. After Ulta I stumbled by a cute store called Venus I decided, "why not get a swimsuit and underwear while I am at it?" When I entered I immediately had a girl wearing too much makeup come up to me and ask if I needed help finding anything like I were some lost child in a candy store. I excused her and continued on. After coming across a black one piece I decided it would be good I grabbed it as well as many black, red. and grey sets of underwear.

After checking out I finally made it back to my car with bags so heavy they were ready to snap. I went back home, put everything away, and finally prepared myself for bed and my first day of high school in the morning. Thanks to many of the helpful angels at the form I had my story ready to go. I was from California (to explain my tan) and I moved to Washington because my mom got a promotion that forced her to move here. I am an only child and my dad left when I was 1. I am in my last year of high school which just started a few weeks ago and do not have any plans for college afterwards except maybe a few classes to have the basics. My outfits wear pretty consistent and makeup was only light. My features consisted of thick wavy brown hair and pale green eyes. My lips were a mix of thin and plump but more on the thin side. I was about average weight but a little over because of muscle mass that came with warrior angel training.

Some people described me as beautiful but that is only because they haven't seen Willow. Willow was a sweet looking girl who usually wore sweaters, black converse, light colored jeans, and had short blonde hair that cut off about mid neck length. She always wore soft fuzzy socks because she swore others were made to make you uncomfortable and had stunning light brown eyes. Her lips were quite plump, skin pale, eyebrows were always dark, thin, and sharp and her body was quite skinny and there was never one morning she failed to make her a cuppa even if it made her late to school. In definition, to me, she was absolutely perfect. And not like a "Jesus perfect" but more like, "I love everything about you, you must be perfect." I couldn't wait to say to her what I have been wanting to say for years and if I am being completely honest, I still had yet to figure out what that was exactly.

While getting everything ready including myself, something caught my eye in the mirror. On my neck there was a tattoo, it was my wings crossing over each other with a halo above them. I guess it is a sign after you come to Earth. Considering, we can show our wings by choice but we will know when it is the right time to use them to our advantage by making them visible or touchable but for the most part they stay unseen and untouched. Knowing the things I am up against whether I am down here or up there, I know I will have to be using mine a lot more than the average angel. After all these years I understand why God chose me to be Willow's guardian angel, she had the most demons to fight off, and I was one of the greatest warriors they had so far. I was just what my Willow needed, a strong valiant protector to fight away her demons, and that was just what I was going to do.

A/N ~ Ok that was the first chapter so far. Thankfully I can write all of this on a laptop so life is a hundred percent easier and chapters should be longer. I hope you are liking it so far! It's a work in progress but I have hope for it. There are so many places it's gonna go, I guess with this book you just have to be in it for the long run because if it goes how I plan then it is gonna end up being pretty long. And if it comes down to it and you guys want it, maybe I will do an epilogue but for now I just need to focus on even getting half way through. Even after school ends I'll be working on my writing (hopefully it will be finished by then but if not then you get the point). Also sorry for any typos, my eyes are drooping and I'm listening to orchestra music so imma bout to pass out. Hope you are doing well and I wish you all the best. Any questions feel free to ask or if you want to talk, message me and I should get back to you. With all the love, yours truly ~ Cammy💖🖤
