Something Out There
Chapter 5
The sun was starting to break over the mountains of the small town of White Rapids. Sitting in a large tree, Aronn had tucked himself in between two branches. Resting his arms over the top, and sitting on the bottom as he let his legs swing. He had found the child’s home, but so far all he could see were the war angels who were sent to protect Seth and his charge, Christian. They had positioned themselves facing outward and standing shoulder to shoulder they surrounded the small house.
Aronn watched them, they were impressive. Some of them stood over 10 feet tall. There was no mistaking these angels, armor reflecting the rising sun almost blinding Aronn. Enormous swords hung from their waist, wrapped in gold rope, their arms were as thick as a tree, muscled by the many battles fought welding a heavy sword. Wings folded behind them with the tips touching the ground. They took this job very seriously. The only thing Aronn could see move, were their eyes. Eyes trained to see the enemy under any disguise.
Yep, Aronn was proud of them, but then he was also one of them.
As sunlight poured in through the bedroom window, Seth stood over Christian. He had been watching the young boy sleep. His favorite time was when he was waking up, this is when a human is most innocent. Seth sat on the edge of the bed, putting one wing over Christian like a blanket. “ Wake up sleepy head, you are missing the sunrise.”
Christian rolled over and was now facing Seth, his eyes closed but a smile crossed his face.
“It’s almost as if he knows you are there Seth.” Bri whispered.
Seth looked up, he had not even noticed she had come into the room. “I know, sometimes I can feel it to.”
“I am glad you are back, Christian needs you. Only you can completely understand him.” Bri, said as she gently sat on the other side of the bed. Staring at Christian she could see why Seth loved him so much. This ten year old child radiated love and a fierce faith in God, not found in many humans. Not even her charge, Anna.
“Bri, look, he is waking up.” Seth’s eyes never left Christians face.
As the child slowly opened his eyes, he sleepily looked at Seth. Their eyes gazing at one another. After a few seconds, Christian’s eyes looked away towards the window. Seth had these few seconds every morning, seconds of recognition. The only time he knew Christian could see him. Then the world would claim him.
Bri sighed, in some ways she was jealous of Seth. Christian had faith, and faith allowed him the ability to recognize his guardian angel.
“One day, Anna will be aware of you Bri,”
As she got up and walked out of the room, she painfully looked at Seth. “I hope it is soon, time is limited here. Their lives are so short, and I fear Anna’s will be shorter then most.”
