Guardian Angel

[Vibro repairman]

I hovered, silent and invisible, ever vigilant, over my ward. Throughout her life, I had manifested a more physical presence only a few times - and never as anything, I hoped, that might betray my presence to the daemonic agents of the Adversary. They, too, were oft vigilant, though their goals were, of course, opposed to those of the Light.

She had a destiny, though it was not something to which I had been made privy. She had been raised strictly by her parents, but lovingly, and an innocent purity thus resided in her that was strong. Such an innocence could of course not last for ever, and for that I grieved, but that was the way of the mortal world. The power of Choice was one of humanities greatest strengthes, and greatest weaknesses.

Now, she had passed through the trials and tribulations of youth, and had entered adulthood. I sensed the time of her destined fate was nearing. By now, despite my carefully concealed presence, the Adversary was doubtless aware too of her coming fate, and would seek to sway her course to shape the future to his benefit.

So it was that I hovered, silent and invisible, over my ward, as she walked for the first time down the path to the college to which she had enrolled. Here, I sensed, peril lurked, and the servants of the Adversary waited, ready.

Angel Angelis what a name but it was mine. I had survived the teasing and taunting of growing up with the heavenly name.

All that was behind me as I moved away to college and started to live in a studio apartment by myself. I was tickled pink over the whole identity. I was determined that I was going to make the best of myself. Marine Biology look out cause Angel was flying in and grabbing the ring.

I made the rounds to my classes on oreintation and found the way around campus from class to class. The one thing that I was looking forward to was Collegic Choir. The Christmas Program was to die for, especailly a leading part and Angel wanted to have the top. Soprano solo singing "O Holy Night"
