Chapter One

3rd POV (Amu)

Amulet, a Search Angel, found a small boy sitting on a cloud, looking forlorn. She walked to him, her pink hair and white dress swaying in the breeze. Amu approached the boy and asked him what his name was. The boy, who seemed to be about six or seven, took in her golden eyes, kind smile and feathery wings. A blush spread on his cheeks and he lowered his brown eyes. Amu took the boy's hand and lead him to a man in a golden booth in front of two huge golden gates. The Gates to Heaven.

"Saint Peter, this boy is lost, and he doesn't know where he is." She talked to the ancient Angel quietly. The wise one lowered his gaze to the innocent boy walking on the clouds. Saint Peter touched the boy's forehead and gleaned some information.

"Christopher, age six, died from a car accident about two days ago. He got scared when he saw the Guide Angel and tried to run away, but instead got lost." The Angel said silently. The boy's eyes turned wide.

"I'm dead?" He spoke for the first time. "I'm in Heaven? Where are my parents? Should they be here too?" Saint Peter chuckled.

"You are a curious one. Yes, my boy, you are dead. You are not in Heaven yet, just on the doorsteps. All you need to do now is go through the Gates, and you'll be in the best place that you can imagine!" Amu took notice of how Saint Peter didn't answer the last two questions. Christopher, animated, looked up to Saint Peter.

"May I please go to Heaven?" He asked.

"Yes, my boy, you've done nothing wrong as far as I can see, you prove worthy." Saint Peter said. Christopher ran through the Gates, which had opened for him, and the exquisite beauty of Heaven took affect. He stopped dead in his tracks and looked around eagerly. To the boy's eyes the scene was indescribable.

Huge palaces, built on large clouds, floated around, constantly moving yet never crashing or bumping into anything. The sun was shining and it reflected off of the walls making it look like silver. Angels moved around on clouds or flew wherever they needed to, and left trails of glittery feathers. Christopher caught one with his fingers and brushed it against his cheek. It felt like silk, no even softer! As he looked around, he saw many more creatures. Humans, cats, dogs, rabbits. It seemed any and all kinds of animals were wandering around, not aimlessly, but happily. They seemed to know nothing but happiness, which didn't scare the boy, but encourage him. He let go of the feather and walked in, with glowing eyes.

The feather floated out towards Amu and she plucked it out of the air and handed it to Saint Peter, who had come out of his booth and walked over to where she was standing.

"You didn't answer his last two questions." She noted, simply. Saint Peter nodded his head, absently. "Why not? He deserves to know! He deserves to know that he won't see his family for many, many more Haevs!" Amu protested.

Saint Peter sighed. "Amulet, you are one of the youngest Angels, yet still, you should know why I cannot tell him." Amu pressed her lips together and nodded.

"I know, Sir, yet I don't understand why?"

"Because he would riot. He would want to see his family and demand to go down to Earth, to live. And if he truly is an innocent soul, I would be required to give him back to her, unless I desired to break the Contract. Or if I did give him back, too many questions would arise among the humans." Saint Peter looked at her meaning fully. "Go now child, you should do your job and report to the Head of your Force. Else you might risk putting your job on the line."

To be on any influential Force in Heaven, one had to be at least 5 Haevs old (1 Haev is about the same as 15 Earth years.) Amu was only 1.5 Haevs (22 and a half Earth years) old, yet she had gotten into the Search Force with her intelligence, resourcefulness, and her ability to co-operate on one or more given tasks on hand at the same time. Saint Peter patter her head absentmindedly and wandered back to his stand.

Amu watched for a bit as he took out a silver clipboard and checked off a name and waited for a few souls and a Guide Angel. As she turned to the gates, Saint Peter called out to her and said five words.

"Meeting in Silver Sky Hall!" Amu paused for a second and considered the words, and then opened her wings to full length. A Heavenly breeze escorted her inside the Gates. She took careful notice of everything as it happened. The Palaces glided over open airs and she landed on the palace that was names "Silver Sky". The biggest hall and her Force were located in this building. She wondered why the Heads needed the biggest Hall for a meeting…unless all the Heads of all the Forces were meeting to discuss something. Something important.
