Series/Sequel: Non but it is related to the movie City of Angels.

Warning: NOT BETAED!!

Note: I have just finished watching the movie City of Angels with Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. Although many may have found the movie slow and at times boring, I thought it was great. The ending left me feeling really cheated and I had to write a story to get the end out of my mind. At the moment I don't know if I will make any more to continue this story, but I hope you like what I have written. It has to be my first really short story ever. A important thing to note. This story should not be considered Slash. Although in parts it may seem so, I have not intended it to be that way.

The story should be read as a point of view. Imagine a person thinking and you are listening to them.

Could I do it? I sit here and watch him as he works. He is so close, so beautiful, but so unreachable. I watch the world go by, and by the grace of God I have been given the duty to help and guide humans. I am an Angel; beautiful, immortal but without the ability to feel….to taste…to touch. No human has ever affected me the way he has. I watch him and wish I could join him.

I see the world in all its glory, but he sees black and white. His past is dark, yet I still see the light in him. My heart has already fallen, but do I have the courage to let my immortal body follow?

I have been given a gift, one not ordinarily bestowed on one of my kind, the gift of foresight.

I see my hearts desire killing himself. God has given him a gift, one which could save many, but without help, a partner, he will go insane. I think I was given the knowledge because God wants me to be his partner, and if that is true, then I may fall with his blessings.

I know of another, one who has all ready fallen, who will help me. She is old enough to be my mother, and smart enough to set me up with a background.

I know time is passing quickly and soon the gift will come back to him, but I am scared. Scared to give up my whole existence for a feeling I should not even be having.

The time for a decision is at hand and I stand atop of a two-story apartment. Unlike other Angels, I don't like hights. I have the freedom to fly, yet have all ways felt earth bound. God knew from the beginning what my destiny would be.

I feel the wind pick up and I look around and see my fellow Angels watching. Closing my eyes I fill my mind with images of him, of the need to be human and of my greatest desire, to feel. I slowly lean into the wind and fall.

When I awake, I find out the meaning of pain, cold and hunger. I seek out Naomi and like a newborn bouncing baby, full of curiosity and wonder; I discover my new world, and place myself into James Ellison's life.
