Frozen In Time

1.
I didn't dare blink as I stared at the beautiful angel that stood in the dark. My eyes finally adjusted to the darkness that surrounded us. He was beautiful. He had short, straight, shaggy coal black hair that covered half of his eyes. His hair was as black as a starless sky and as dark as the night of a new moon. His eyes, were a frozen crystal clear blue, like a lake of frozen water. His face was hard to look away from. His wings were as black as oil. He was wearing black pants. His chest was muscular, and so tan. He started walking closer to me, but for some reason I walked backwards. I guess he frightend me. "Help!" I shouted as I fell backwards. Two strong hands caught me just as I was about to hit the ground. It was him, the dark angel. With out speaking he put me back on my feet. His beauty amazed me, everypart of me wanted him, craved him. It was acutally painfull to want him, it was like I was being stabbed in the heart by something invisable, I tried to speak but nothing would come out. He kept looking at me, suddenly his eyes grew widder until I was positive they were going to explode. He vanished in to the darkness.

My eyes opened with a quick start, it didn't feel like a dream it felt so real, but then again dreams like that one usually do. I put my clothes on, and walked down stairs to get breakfast. "Hey Stacy." I said. Stacy had long straight black hair that went past her shoulders. Her eyes were a dark blue and she was wearing a green dress. "What were you shouting about?" My little sister Mandy asked. "Shouting?" I asked. "Yeah, you kept saying help." She said. She was just turning eight, her hair was long and blonde, she had the greenest eyes they were darker then sea weed. I smiled at her. "I guess it was a night mare." I lied. "Bye Mandy." I said as the town bus reached the orphanage. Our parents died in a fire last year, I was all Mandy had, and she was all I had. I wasn't popular, actually I was lower then the science geeks. No boy except Aaron ever talked to me unless they were dared to. I sat down in the back seat. Alone. I closed my eyes, and I think I actually smiled when I seen his face again. He was smiling, so beautifully. "Hey, you!" My eyes opened quickly. "Yeah?" I said. "You need to get off." The driver said. I looked out the window. "Shit!" I said under my breath. I was sitting at the bus station. "Sorry." I said. "Yeah, yeah." He said. Great. I was late for school, again. I started running, my heart was pounding so hard I was afraid it was about to fall out of my chest, or worse stop. The first bell rang as I reached the school gates. Breathless I made it to first period, which was health. "Sorry, I'm late." I said. "That's fine Jaden, there's a sit for you in the back." Mrs Jackson said. Almost every boy took this class, they were in love with her. Some times I caught myself asking why her? What does she have that I don't? She had long curly blonde hair, it was as yellow as the sun. Her eyes a dark brown, they were so dark it was like they were actually black. She wore long skirts and non-see through shirts. "Can I see you Jaden?" She asked when the bell rang. "Sure." I said. "Your grades are slipping, do you need help with anything?" She asked. I sighed. "No I've just been through alot lately. Um can I go now? I'm going to be late for math." I said. "Okay." She said. I put my books in my locker. School went by so slowly. I was glad the day was over. "Hey Jaden!" Aaron said. Aaron was the only friend I had, at school and the orphange. "Hey." I said. "Whats wrong?" He asked. "Nothing. Everything, I just. I can't take this anymore, trying to be happy, trying to pretend that the fire never happend." I said. "I know how you feel." He said. Those words took me over the edge. "That's the thing, you don't know how I feel unless it's actually happend to you." I said. "Your right, I don't know how you feel. But I know what it's like to not have parents. Remember mine gave me up?" He asked. "I'm sorry, I'm just-" He cut me off. "You know what I just remembered that I have foot ball practice." He said. I watched him walk away before I went on. What's with me today? I asked myself. I drew in a deep breath as I reached my home. The fence was half way torn off and the smell was unbearable. I made sure I wasn't crying when Mandy walked out. I knew I had to be strong, not just for her but for the both of us. I dropped my books as she ran into my arms. I loved her more then the world. "Where's my gift?" She asked. "Gift?" I asked. "Today is my birthday." She said. "I'm sorry, I forgot." I said. "It's okay." She said. I held my necklace, it was the only thing I had left to remember mom and dad. It had two sides, it was a broken heart. I ran to my room and grabbed the one that said you out of my jewelry box. She followed me. "What are you doing?" She asked. "I'm getting your gift." I said. "But mom and dad bought that necklace for you." She said. "Yeah, and now this part is yours." I said. "This part of the necklace has magical powers, you have to rub it every night and you want have night mares. Mine says I love, and yours says you." I added. Her eyes brightend like stars. "Thank you Jaden!" She hugged my waste. "Your welcome now don't forget to rub it tonight." I reminded her. "I won't!" She promised. When she went down stairs, Stacy was standing in the door way. "That was sweet." She said. "Nah, mom told me that when she bought it. I can't believe I forgot her birthday. I'm the worst sister in the world." I said. "No your a great sister, I don't know where she would be with out you." She said. "She'd be in a home with loving parents." I said. "People came here today and asked if she was up for adoption. I told them I had to talk to you first." She told me. "No, she needs to be with her sister. I'll adopt her once I turn eighteen." I assured her. "That'll be in what four years?" She asked. "She's my sister and she needs me!" I shouted. "Are you sure that your not the one who needs her?" She asked before she left. Was she right? Did I need my little sister? I can't believe I had to choose between her happiness and mine. "Wait Stacy. I guess your right. If she wants to be adopted, then I won't stop her. But if she doesn't, then she doesn't." I said. "Okay. Lets ask her." She said. I followed her down stairs. Mandy was playing with her friends, and she was wearing the necklace I gave her. I stood behind her, and Stacy stood infront of her. "Mandy, do you want to be adopted?" She asked. Mandy looked up at me. "This is your choice not mine." I said. She nodded her head, her golden curls bounced up and down. I smiled once she looked at me. "Are you getting adopted too?" She asked. "No." I said. Stacy went to get her new parents. She hugged me before she left. I was completly broken with out her. "How are you doing?" Stacy asked. "Um I'm going to take a nap." I said. I felt her eyes following me up stairs. I laid down as flaming hot tears ran out of my closed eyes.
Suddenly I was in a dark forrest, it was so cold I couldn't feel my body any more. I didn't care when I saw him, his eyes were so soft and kind. I didn't know why I kept dreaming about him. I've never met him, or if I did I would've noticed his wings. His black wings fluttered so fast. I smiled. He walked closer to me, except this time it was different. I didn't run away. Something held me there. "Jaden." His voice was soft. I auttomaticaly said, "Nathan," I wasn't sure that was his name. His smile was as bright as the sun. "Yes." He said.
