CHAPTER TEN

The night, "Thanks for taking me to the movie." Aurora smiles, she then gives a hug to Misty whom her mother asks to join the family to the movie. Aurora accepts the invitation and now she's back home. "I have a great time with you and your mother, little Isabella, wants to join us but you know my mom is."

"Well maybe someday. Are you sure I don't want my mom sending you straight home?"

"No, I'm okay. Besides, I like to visit my Papa. He's probably waiting for me there."

She smiles again and waves goodbye as she leaves Misty's house. As she walks she can feel something watching over her but she doesn't care what will show up right in front of her; keep walking she looks up then smiles. A moon, dark sky and stars show the path where she should go. The minute she entered the Cemetery ground, it took 25 minute to arrive. Glance over the wristwatch and the time shows at 10.30pm probably her mother and little Isabella already in their sleep so she is okay with it as long her mother doesn't know where she goes and is not worried about her.

She was standing right in front of her Father's grave, bending down both of her knees as she prayed. "I've missed you, Papa." She cried. She pulled out a small bouquet flower she bought earlier at town then laid it on the ground. "I've been through everything in my life without you, Papa. It's not fair having my own time without you, I missed those moments with you and everything is without you." As she cried she could hear a bunch of laughter not far from her, quickly she took turns to look behind.

"Well -- well. Look what we have here. A sweet virgin girl crying over Daddy's tomb asking him to come back how sad, pathetic and innocent she is." The man laughed. "Are you alone -- need someone to comfort you -- you can cry at my shoulder if you want and are free to cry for." He laughed again. "Awe, I need my Daddy in here." Their laugh makes Aurora stand and try to leave but -- "What's the matter sweet pea we came here and comfort you."

"You have no right in here you Git!"

"Oh -- oh, someone said Git." Laugh. "This is the cemetery ground. Sweet pea people died here and were allowed to visit the dead." One of the men said with an evil smirk. "You got to the wrong place and the wrong time, sweet pea."

Aurora snort. "No I wasn't." With flashed she ran. They chase her behind. She tried to find the exit door of the cemetery but her heart and mind tell her to go deep away from the exit door. What was she thinking? she will be caught by them if she stumbled or couldn't catch her own breath.

"FIND HER!!" That's what she hears from behind till -- "COME OUT -- COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE SWEET PEA, WE'RE NOT GONNA HURT YOU -- JUST FOR FUN."

As she hears the word, Aurora takes a chance hiding behind one of the big trees as she catches her breath slowly, she couldn't close her eyes and has them slowly approaching toward her like knowing where she'd been hiding. "Please -- please help me." Her lips stutter close to her eyes.

"THERE SHE IS!"

She almost fainted or could drop both of her knee on the ground as they spots her hiding place, she cupped her full mouth cried and sudden something or someone show up caught her eyes -- a man figures came out from nowhere out from his own hiding place approaching her in anger he stood beside the tree where she's hiding confronting them.

"Deal with me if you dare!!" He said.

"Oh -- is you. He sent us down here, didn't you know."

Aurora sweat started to drip both sides of her cheek, she took a sneak to look closely about her savior but the most important thing on her mind was -- RUN. She attempted to run but something blocking or shielding around where she was standing and couldn't go anywhere; was Him doing such a thing?

"That's why I'm here to protect her. You're gonna deal with me if you disobey."

She can feel bunches of the group smirking at him and her even she can't see; one of the men said. "Fine, we'll see you soon -- sweet pea." Like storm and sand the bunches of the group disappear without trace. Leaving her and her savior behind in the middle of the cemetery nowhere wood. Her eyes wide open as her savior locks her eyes on her.

"They're gone." said the man, she nodded her head and suddenly Aurora ran from him. Though he wasn't chasing her behind but -- "Aurora stopped!'' and she was shocked to think how possible this man could stand right in front of her and knowing her name too. As she knows he is just standing back there doing nothing nor chasing. "Aurora." The man smiled.

"Shit! How did you know my name? Are you a stalker or serial killer? If you do not step aside I scream." She laughed. "Oh -- I scream. You think we stand in the middle of nowhere and people can't hear me." She chuckled. "Your thoughts are wrong, they will hear me."

The man said without hesitation or making a face. "My thoughts are never wrong. No one couldn't hear you, I don't mean no harm to you and please do not use foul language." She blinked. "God hates that."

"No one cares."

"But someone cares." He smiled and introduced himself. "I'm Michael. And you Mr Fernandez daughter, Aurora. Finally we met." He extends his hand hoping Aurora takes his hand but she just stands there like some kind of idiot teenage girl who loses her own word, she shakes her head. "I'm your father's friend."

Her head never stopped shaking. "My father never had a friend named Michael. Once.. but he died already."

"That's Michael Jackson." He smirks. "I can read your thoughts. Well, he is safe with us. Happy."

"What do you mean Michael Jackson is safe with you - - us? who the heck are you?"

Michael smiled again. "My name is Michael and I'm the Angel." Aurora then burst to laughter so loud, she thinks that Michael going insane admitted himself as a Angel of God from Heaven. What kind of sick jokes he'd played. "I know you don't believe what I'd said, but I knew you before you were born. A beautiful baby Anael loves the most, he begs God not to let you be born on Earth. But your time is coming. God has to."

"Okay," again she laughed. "The pharaoh also admitted himself as God. Why not admit yourself as an Angel. You're funny. Are you drunk?" She laughed and tried to leave till Michael stopped her. "What!?"

"I'm not gonna mad at you as you not believe what I'd said earlier. And I just want you to know that the bunch of groupies chasing you wasn't human like you and the others who live here. They're special. With that they could kill you if I wasn't in here to save you right on time and you would probably be dead by now."

She smirks ego starting to control her mind. "What kind are they? Angel too?" She continued to mock. "Good, as please they can take my life. I was hoping someone did so so I could live with my Papa in Heaven."

"Then why did you run when they approached you?" His word makes Aurora finally get her anger, how dare he mocked her. "You'll think that you could live in Heaven?" Now Michael is smirking at her back. "If you died. They take your soul straight to Hell the way you belong. And your Papa won't be pleased to see his beloved daughter go straight to Hell."

Michael word makes her stop breathing right now as suddenly he mentioned her father. Did he really - - " How!? "

"Like I'd said. I watch everything. Your tears making him cry up there, he's felt guilty leaving you behind since the accident took him. Lots of words he wanted to say and hug you if he had a second chance to live with you. But this is his destiny. He must go." He'd breath continue. "Your father is also sending someone to protect you, your mother and little Isabella."

Aurora almost fainted, her eyes starting to blurry but she kept her strength to fight the unconsciousness. She wants to hear every word spilled out from Michael's lips. "You're crazy. My father sent you, did he?"

"No." shakes head continue. "Wasn't I?"

She blinked. "Then who!?"

"He'd live near you, he's your neighbor. Should you want a hint? He's young, strong enough to protect you."

She chuckled. "Funny. Mr Spacey is an old man, he couldn't protect me if he did he died to protect me." sudden she got a hint by looking into Michael's eyes, his eyes telling her that it wasn't Mr Spacey to protect her - - "Unless - - Mr Ryan?" Michael's smile with a nod can see her eyes so widely. "He's my English teacher he - - he.."

"Come, I'm sending you home. Don't think too much about what happened tonight. He'll be there for you just - - please be nice to him. There is something he must let you know before everything is too late. I can't say it much only to Him."

"About what!?"
