Free Guardian Angel by David Trebus Page B

Michael of a small cockatiel he had when he was a child, who used to stretch her wings constantly, loosening her feathers and shaking off any excess dust.
    “ So Michael, any news for you? Anything interesting going on the internet?” Jasmine asked settling down on the couch. The sunlight caught her hair and the outline of her wings giving her a beautiful glow, just as Michael had always pictured an angel to have. Although this time purely through earthly means.
    “ As it goes yeah. A work colleague called Claire emailed me. She said she had a dream about what happened to me, but knew I was going to be ok. She even loosely described you. The whole thing seemed a little weird, but what with everything that has gone on, I can believe maybe she did see something. She also said she wanted to meet up to talk about it. Do you think I should?”
    “ I think you should. It is possible she has some kind of connection to you or a special gift. Either way it would be worth looking into.”
    “ Somehow I thought you would say that.” Michael stood up and picked up a pen and paper from a small table. He noted down Claire’s phone number from the email before turning off the computer.
      “You know, Jasmine I’ve been thinking…since I saw that mugger’s angel. I cannot stand seeing things like that. People suffering and stuff you know. I mean I’ve always felt a bit powerless, like I couldn’t help. Now I have a gift, something special. Maybe that means I can do something to help those around me. Maybe I can save a few people. After all the rules that prevent you from interfering don’t apply to me” Michael paused feeling embarrassed “I don't know I‘m rambling.”
      Jasmine smiled widely again thinking back to Metatron’s letter. Then Metatron’s words pushed their way back into her mind. “There is no coincidence, only certainty in action”. She felt another emotion push up inside her with such force she could barely contain it. She felt pride in her charge. She had felt pride when he had taken his first steps, when he had won his first sports game, but never anything as strong as this. Without thinking, she kissed him on the cheek and hugged him.
    “ I am so glad I was chosen to become your guardian Michael,” she whispered into his ear.
       Michael stood frozen, embarrassed and started squirming. Why did he feel this way? He had been hugged and kissed by plenty of girls. However, with Jasmine, it felt different. He coughed to clear his throat and pulled back a little, not wanting to break the embrace but at the same time too uncomfortable to maintain it.
    Michael noticed Jasmine pull back a little, a single tear in her eye. He saw a brief flash pass over her face as she seemed to struggle with something, and then her expression returned to its normal warm but controlled smile. Jasmine avoided direct eye contact with him though and Michael wondered what had happened.
      “I think it’s a good idea. You weren't rambling…well a little bit maybe, but your goals are good ones. I don’t see any reason why you can’t do a little good with your ability. I mean you have it for a reason, and I will be right there with you to help you out.”
    Michael smiled feeling stronger and more confident.“I think I know just where to start. Let me find the phone...” Michael said grabbing the piece of paper with Claire’s phone number on it.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 4: Claire and Jazen
     
     
     
       Claire had taken a few days off work to concentrate on her meditation. Ever since she dreamt about her co-workers accident, she hadn't been sleeping properly. She kept seeing visions of the event, replayed over and over. Claire always took notice of her dreams; it was part of her beliefs that they were important windows to the past, truths in the present and events in the future.
    Breathing deeply, Claire tried to
