Holding On To Heaven

Serenity has always known she was different. Being able to speak to the dead will have that effect on a person. All she's ever wanted was to be normal and now as she prepares herself for her sophomore year of college, she's getting her chance. Or so she believes. It's too bad her destiny has other plans.It was supposed to be a routine assignment. I was to be Serenity’s guardian until she is ready to take her rightful place in the fight against Hell. It was quickly turning out to be anything but that. When I wasn't spending every moment protecting her from herself, I was falling head over heels in love with her. It is forbidden but I can’t help it. Serenity may be just another human to the rest of my family in Heaven but to me she is so much more. She is special and I will stop at nothing to make her see it. The problem is I’m not the only one watching her. As badly as Heaven wants her safe and protected until it is time, Hell wants the very same thing. It would seem that young Serenity is part of a much bigger plan, one that even I hadn't been clued in on. Do I risk everything to protect her, including my very existence, or do I do the unthinkable and let Hell have her? - Archangel Gabriel For as long as I remember I've heard them. By the time I turned 12 my mother was positive I was losing my mind and went ahead and hospitalized me. The voices couldn't get to me there. It was the one place I was safe. At least until it wasn’t anymore. My grandma told me I was special and the abilities I have are a gift. The problem is she was dead when she told me. What she believed to be a gift is really nothing more than a curse and I want nothing more than to be rid of it, for good. That is until I met Ryan. Suddenly I don’t feel like such a freak anymore. If someone like him can understand it then maybe it really is the gift my grandma believed it to be. Maybe I’m different but in a good way. Maybe I really can change the world. - Serenity He has finally chosen his bride. The one being in the entire world that he deems his equal. The only problem is she’s human. Serenity was given a gift at birth. The very gift he wants to utilize when the time comes for his own gain. I've been sent to infiltrate her life, because as close a part of it as I can in order to prepare her for her destiny. It should have been easy but it’s become harder than I ever imagined. Not only do I have to deal with one of Heaven’s most powerful angels making his presence known but I also find myself questioning everything I've ever known as I begin to fall for Lucifer’s bride. - Ryan
