//-------------------------------------------------------// Guardian of an Angel -by Artorias- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue So this is were life brings me. In some random and dirty alleyway with a small back pack, a hand drill, and a sword. Some how I look past all of this beacause of the little sleeping filly on my lap. Man I got soft, but I was never really tough to being with until I met her. Now that I think about it, this was the first place we met... but in the spring. The cold air is getting to me and it started snowing. Well I might freeze to death out here so to who ever finds this book will know why I am here, what I did here, and how I died. Techinally I should in a while, but before I do. I believe you need some kind of explanation about me and the filly in my lap. Let's see it all started nine months ago. 0-0-0 I was in my house playing this game called Bioshock and I got introduced to a Big Daddy, man was that thing bruttle I mean that drill came right threw that guys body. "Dang" I said to no one particular. "Hope I don't wanna have to go against that guy." But like the game went on I learned there were more of those things, boy what time I had going... sorry off topic. I was a twenty year old man that had no friends, parents, or guadians looking out for me, but I turned out fine here I am with a great job, a hot girlfriend, a kick ass mansion, and all the time in the world, but there was one thing I wanted so badly, that I knew I couldn't buy. I wanted a child, I was never okay growing beacause I never got what I wanted. I want to be there when they get the chance to have something I never had...love. I want to rasie them with my knowledge and be there for them, but I never got the chance. There was one little girl that needed someone to be with and to protect her. I didn't know this till I was with her. She may not got what she wanted, but now I realized that me being with her was the one thing she needed. I am sad to write that my begining was happy while hers was so very... not. She deserved better, but atlas she was stuck with them. 0-0-0 While I was defeating Big Daddies a small light purple filly with a white mane stepped inside her house to the sound of shouting. The filly walked in quckly to avoid the vision of her parents. "And where do you think you're going young filly!" her father all but shouted at her. "Where were you today?" her mother said approaching her. Her mouth was moving, but no words came out. Her mother punched her in her side causing the little filly to yelp from the pain. "You answer your mother when she's talking to you!" she shouted and kick the filly in the side even harder. "I was at a friends house." she said and flinched as her father walked toward her. "You know that you tell us first and we decide if you can go, UNDERSTAND!" he said while punching her in the face. She fell to the ground as her nose bled. She looked up at her mother and she kicked her in the ribs. "Bad fillies need to be punished." her father said while draging his daughter by the tail to the basement with his wife. I'm not skilled enough with words to explain the things she told me they did to her in that basement. Two hours later they came out of the basement with smiles on their faces. They walked upstairs laughing. Their daughter was down stairs covered in brusies and cuts all over her body. She had been crying for over an hour, wishing she had somepony to... did I really write that, damn...somepony to love her. She got up from her pool of blood and walked upstairs to her room. She opened her dresser and to out some disinfected and a roll of gauze. She knew how to patch herself up after a few run ins with bullies. She went to her corner and curled up into a ball as she cried herself to sleep. She woke up to the bright morning sun. Her ears picked up to hear her parents. She heard nothing through out the whole house. She knew that looking the way she did meant she would have to wait to go outside till her injuries healed. An thought came to her head. She wasn't in the room by herself. She walked over to a crack in a floor board. She pulled it aside and took out a small pony rag doll. This doll looked like it seen better days, but when she found it near a red barn in a apple orchard, she couldn't leave it behind. Since that day she had a playmate at her house when her parents were gone. "Oh Callus, your my number one friend." She said while hugging the doll. The rest of the day was spent playing with her doll. When her parents came home she hid her doll away. Her parents came to her room and beat her yet again. She was back in school in the next few days when her wounds healed. She was in class when the bell rang for recess. All the colts and filles ran out of the class room except a certain purple filly. She wanted somepony to be nice to her, hold her when she's scared, protect her, tuck her in at night, and love her. But sadly this wasn't going to happen anytime soon. She was walking back to her home, but on the way a storm was kicking up. She took refuge in a dirty alleyway. She looked up in the sky and closed her eyes. "I wish...I wish... I wish I had a guardian angel to be with me. I'm so lonely and I don't just want a plain old guardian, but a guardian that is as caring as an angel." A boom came from the sky and she yelped. A rainbow colored lighting bolt came down from the sky and struck a dumpster right next to the filly and she ran behind a pile of garbage and shook while she heard a deep groan. 0-0-0 I had been walking down he road when a huge storm picked up. 'Damn' I thouht to myself while picking up my pace. I couldn't be in a storm and look horrible when I ask my girl to marry me,  but  sadly I never got the chance until I heard a voice from nowhere. "So you became a Big Daddy in that game huh?" "Depends who's asking unless this is all in my head." I said. "Well you'll have to do. READY TO BECOME ONE FOR REAL!" Suddenly a rainbow colored lighting bolt came down from the clouds and was coming straight at me. You see I could have jumped out of the way, but I just stood there frozen. It hit me and I was sure I would die, but it had some kind of grasp on me. It picked me up from the ground a lifted me to the heavens above. Once I was over the clouds it did a u-turn and brought me down with incredible speed. I was going so fast the wind was howling so loud I couldn't hear myself think. I came down hard on something metal. I was still alive, but gravly injured. I manage a small deep groan, but after that I passed out. //-------------------------------------------------------// Zalic and Snow Angel //-------------------------------------------------------// Zalic and Snow Angel 0-0-0-0-0 The filly was looking over this strange creature in the dumpster. From the groan it sounded like a guy. She kept looking at his odd features. He was tall, he had a black mane, black cloths that coved his body, barely any fur, a flat face, and...a gash on his head. She looked at the gash a sucked in air though her teeth. "Ooh, that looks bad." she said in a worried tone. She thought she help him and carried him (with the aid of magic) back to her house. She sat him in the corner and collected some bandages from her dresser. When she got back to him his forehead was already healed. She stared in amazment that it was gone already. She was pokeing him in the head while he was waking up. "Can you stop please, my head hurts." He spoke while startling the filly. 0-0-0-0-0 I was awakin from my slumber by something poking my sore forehead. My head was suffering from a tremendos headache and the poking it didn't help. "Can you stop please my head hurts." I said while I heardva little eep in front of me. "You're awake. How do you feel?" A femmine vocie said, but it sounded a little younger than suposed to be? "My head is pounding like a jack hammer." I said while rubing my head hoping the pain would subside...and it did. My head was done pounding and I felt better than I ever had. "Who are you? What are you?" The voice asked. I opened my eyes and looked at her. Huh a tiny purple horse...I took this surprisenly well. "Ooookaaayy. First question, I am Zalic. Two, I am a human. Now my questions, who and what are you?" I said with some confusion. "My name is Snow Angel and I'm a pony." She said with mixture of happiness and curiostiy. "Where am I?" I asked looking around this tiny room. "Your at my hous__" **BANG** She was cut off by a sound coming from downstairs. "Oh no they're home. QUICK in the closet." She said while and invisable force threw me into the closet. As I was sitting half darkness I started to run everything that just happened. I was in this little pony's house and I not at home...Oh God my girlfriend is so gonna be pissed off. I know I should be freaking out that I'm in a ponies house, but I don't think well on an empty stomach. My thinking was interupted by footsteps coming from stairs and making their way to the room. The door on the oppisite side of me swung open. I saw two more ponies just below the height of my hips come in. The one looking male was brown with a grey mane the other one was purple with a dark purple mane. "Who were you talking to?" the brown one said. "I wan't talking to anypony." Snow Angel said. "WHO YOU TALKING TO YOUNG FILLY!" he shouted. She cowered before them and I was confused. Why would you yell at a child, maybe she was talking to herself you know imagenation, on the other hand it could be ghost. The brown pony punc...kicked maybe, her in the the side and she cried out in pain. "Are you crying, I'll give you something to cry about." the purple on said while taking out of her saddle bag a... hammer. "No mommy not again." Snow Angel cried.. Wait AGAIN? They did this to her mutiple times! There was a loud knock coming from downstairs and the two of them jumped. "AGH. They're early. You little whose in the closet now." the brown one said and opened the closet door. Surpisingly he didn't even look inside of the closet when he threw her in. She fell right into my lap and jumped to my chest huging me while she cried. Something inside of me made me move and hug her while whispering. "Shh it's ok Snow Angel I'm here for you." I don't know why I did this I barely knew her at all, but something in me like an instict took charge and made me take this child in my arms. I'm was stroking her mane and rubing her back while whispering comforting words to her. She had calmed down and said something to me. "You're so warm Mr. Z. Can...Ca...Can you hold me until I fall asleep?" She asked and my heart melted. I nodded and she moved so she was laying in my arms. She was asleep in the matter of mintues. By jugding the closet space I won't be sleeping without a sore neck in the morining. "N..no not the saw again." Snow Angel said in her sleep. God her parnets must have done somethings awful. I need to get her out of here, but were will I go, I mean where will we go? Doesn't matter I'll have to break a few laws if I take her with me. Never less we move tomorrow, but first I'm going to get sleep if I want to leave undetected. If those abusive parnets try anything to stop us I WILL KICK SOME ABUSIVE PARNET AS...flank? YEAH I'll KICK SOME ABUSIVE PARNET FLANK! I carefully lay Snow Angel on my lap and take off my jacket and lay it on the ground with Snow Angel. I stand up and move to the door I looked at her and I smiled. I walked down stairs and looked into cabinets and I saw dirty plates and a bag. I took the bag and looked inside there where about a hundred of gold coins in this bag they must be...wait if they live in this house this must be common currency to them. I took the coins and returned to Snow Angel. She was moving her arms to find something, I moved her back to my chest and she put a hoof on my chest and smiled while moving to her side. We move tomorrow Snow Angel I'll take you away from them and protect you. I decided I should get some sleep, long day tomorrow.
