Chapter 6: Anthony

This chapter is for WishingStar01 for being a great friend.

Anthony:

I step out of the room and head down stairs, contemplating on what to do about Elesia. She's an angel. An archangel, or at least she used to be one. Now she's in a world where she doesn't know the technology or the cultures.

Hence the bind I'm in. I'm gonna have to show her this world and it's cultures, and get her used to the technologies. Not to forget to mention that I have help her mentally. It doesn't take a blind man to see that she's hurting on the inside.

Whatever she had done or whatever happened hurt her badly. I can tell from her voice and the way she is talking that she has done something horrible. I can also tell that she'll break down at any time if I push her.

"What am I gonna do with her?" I muttered.

I want to help her. I want to rid her of her pain, her sadness. I want to heal her broken heart, since I can tell that she has it. There's a lot I want to do for her, but I don't know how. I don't know what to do. But I'll just do whatever I can for her and hope that she'll get better.

She's the reason I'm still alive. She inadvertently saved me. She also gave me a reason to live. I must help her. Whatever it takes, I will make her happy.

I entered the kitchen and open the frig. There was an assortment of foods that I can make. For her though, it may be best to start simple with food, so I decided to make a simple grill cheese sandwich. Something that is good and easy to make.

I reached inside the refrigerator and took out a package of cheese and a stick of butter. Then I went over and opened the pantry and took out a loaf of bread. I placed the ingredients on the counter and open the cabinet door and took out a frying pan.

I placed the frying pan on the stove top and turned it on. I then stepped over and took a knife from the cutlery stand. With the knife, I cut a small amount of butter and threw it in the frying pan. The butter melted away after a few seconds. I took out four loafs of bread and placed them on the clean counter. I then cut small pieces of butter and place them on each loaf.  Then turn my focus on the cheese. Instead of the pack of shredded cheese, I decided to used the Kraft cheese singles. I took two of the cheese singles and removed the plastic covering them and placed them on two of the loafs. I then took the loafs without cheese and placed them on top of the ones that do and pressed down on them.

It was best to do one at a time. So I took one of the sandwiches and placed it in the frying pan and it began cooking. I flipped it a couple of times until it was ready. I took it out and placed the other one in the pan and repeated the process.

In the amount of eight to ten minutes, the sandwiches were ready. I reached in the upper cabinet and took out a plate and placed the sandwiches on it. I then turn off the stove and placed the pan in the sink. I'll wash it later.
I left the kitchen with the sandwiches and made my way upstairs.

She was still in the room when I entered it. She eyed me with curiosity. I just smiled.

"It's best we start with food for now. I made you this."

I showed her the grilled cheese sandwiches and her eyes widened.

"What is this?"

"It's called a grilled cheese sandwich. I thought it best to start simple. I hope you like it."

I placed the plate on the side of the bed for her to reach. I watched as she reached out and picked up one of the sandwiches. Her expression gave it away before she asked.

"You're wondering why it's cut in the shape of a triangle, am I correct?"

"Yes."

"Well, it's cut like that so it'll be easier to eat. Try pointing the end of the sandwich towards you."

She put the point of the sandwich towards her mouth and opened wide. She bit down on the sandwich. Her eyes widened high.

"This is amazing. It tastes so good."

She devoured the sandwich within seconds which caused me to laugh. She look at me with a confused expression.

"There will be a lot of moments where you will be like this. Oh and don't eat too fast. You'll get a tummy ache. Plus it will make you full quicker."

"Alright."

She ate slowly this time. She savored each bite. It amazed me on the fact that she never ate something like this in heaven. It made me wonder on what do angels eat. She finished the sandwiches with a relaxed expression on her face.

"That was good. Thank you for making me the sandwiches."

"You're welcome. From the expression on your face before you ate the sandwiches tells me that this is your first time eating this. It made me wonder about something. What do angels normally eat?"

Her smile faded as she looked down.

"Well, normally angels don't really eat anything. We survived on the dreams and happiness and love of you humans. We do eat a few things but they're not human food."

"Well, you're in the human world now. It may be best to try other foods here."

I reached down and took her hand into mine.

"And I'll be the one to make you all kinds of foods and one day, you'll be able to learn how to cook as well."

She smiled and I smiled too. But the joy faded when I heard knocking on the front door. I looked outside and saw that there was two black SUVs parked out front.

'The government must have saw the crater.' I thought.

I turned towards her with a stern expression.

"Stay here and do not leave this room. I'll be back shortly."

I left the room and closed the door. I then walked downstairs as the knocking continued. I unlocked the front door and opened it. I saw two men in black suits in front of me and another two at the other vehicle.

"May I help you?"

"Hello sir. I'm Mr. Davidson and this is Mr. Hopkins."

The man who spoke has no hair and no beard where as Mr. Hopkins has crew cut hair and a short beard.

"May I ask why you're here at my vacation home?"

"Well Mr..."

"Thompson. Anthony Thompson."

"Mr. Thompson, a few miles from here, there was a huge explosion. What remains is a burnt wasteland and a crater the size of 2 football stadiums. From our intel, it was a meteor that impacted there. We came here to see if you saw it."

'So they thought it was meteor. They don't know what it was. It's best to keep the true cause a secret.' I thought.

"I have seen a fiery ball falling from the sky and felt the impact from here. It was fortunate the explosion didn't take me out as well. I went to the impact zone and saw nothing but a wasteland. I didn't see anything. I looked all around but all I saw was a crater." I lied.

"I see." Mr. Davidson said as he was writing down what I said. "You are fortunate to be alive. Though I'm not sure I believe your story fully."

"But it is the truth. I would've seen something."

"Okay then." Mr. Davidson said while closing his notepad. He looked at Mr. Hopkins and then back at me.

"We'll leave you be. Have a pleasant night, Mr.Thompson."

They begin to walk away, but Mr. Hopkins stops and turns around.

"Why does your name sound familiar?"

"It's because of who I am. I'm Anthony Thompson. CEO of Celestial Corp."

Mr. Davidson turned around. He and Mr. Hopkins looked astonished.

"You're the CEO of Celestial Corp, one of the few most powerful men in the world?"

I nodded. "Yes. I am. I decided that I needed a break, so I came to my vacation home."

They looked at each other and then bowed to me.

"We're terribly sorry for disturbing you. We'll leave you in peace. You have a good night, Mr. Thompson."

They hastily got to their SUV's and drove quickly out of the yard with the other SUV following close behind. I just smiled.

'Being a CEO of a huge company does have it's advantages with the government. They won't touch me.' I thought to myself.

I turned around walked back inside and closed the door, locking it. I then went back upstairs and went towards the room where Elesia should be. I open the door and saw her now standing by the window. She turned towards me as I walked in.

"Who were those people?" She asked.

"Those were people from the government. They were investigating your crashsite."

"What?" She looked worried.

I walked towards her and took her hand.

"I didn't tell them what caused the crater. I didn't tell them it was you."

I looked down and realized that I committed a sin.

"I'm sorry to say this, but I lied to them to keep you safe. If they figured it out what caused the crater and find out what you are, they will take you away. I know I did wrong by lying to them but it was for you. To keep you safe."

I felt a hand touch my face and I looked up at her. She was smiling.

"I know you have. I wish you didn't but I'm glad you did it for me. You're a kind man, Anthony."

I smiled as well. I saw that her eyes were drooping. She let out a loud yawn that she covered her mouth in surprise. I just laughed.

"You must still be tired. Let's get you to bed and we'll decide what to do tomorrow."

She nodded. "Alright."

I led her towards the bed and she got in.

"Good night Anthony." She said in a soft voice.

"Goodnight to you as well.

She fell asleep as her head hit the pillow. I sat beside her for a few minutes. I stood up and walked towards the door and stopped in front of it. I turned around and looked at her, peacefulness showing on her face.

"Good night, sweet Elesia. Sweet dreams."

I turned around again and walked through the doorway, closing it behind me as I left the room.

She finally had a sandwich and she loved it. Then there is the men in black. What are they up to? What will happened next? Don't forget to comment and vote.
