As her new heavenly guardian, Gabriel needed to protect Luna.  But guardian angels were not necessarily what some westerners thought of them; they did not tag close behind each and every person like they were 'tailing' or 'spying' on them.  Instead, they looked out for dangers, calamities, even emotional duress. Hence, while he did follow Luna to the store and back, it was from a distance.  But why, he wondered?  She was a fascinating woman who found comfort in the simplest of animals; every person on earth radiated.  They radiated energies that were either good or bad energy, depending on their background and how they decided to live their life.  Luna radiated joy and empathy; another competing energy, fear and deep hurt, tried to take over in diverse manners.<br/><br/>Gabriel realized Luna began crying; she didn't realize it, but she was having a premonition.  Memories often mixed with future fears; sometimes they foretold the future accurately.  Gabriel wasn't totally sure, but he felt that Luna didn't trust her instincts or her gut feelings.  The task that lay ahead of her was not of her doing; but she felt obligated to return what was freely given to her.  And the giver of the gift was counting on that.<br/><br/>The tears, her vulnerability, her precious love for all human creatures, her trustworthy nature ... these were very delicate.  And very beautiful; he found himself very close to Luna though he did not manifest himself to her.  He found himself wishing he could hold Luna close to himself so he could pour out healing rays into her heart; he desired to see her smile and enjoy life.  What were these feelings?  Why had he personalized it so much?  Gabriel's life started off in the heavens; though he had known of humans who became angels later on in life -- he was not one of them.  He was created directly by Goddess; his first day in the heavens was one of complete joy.  He could love all people equally; there was no romance in heaven because no one was trying to compete with each other or win anyone over.  Heaven was not populated through reproduction like on earth; instead, it was a mixture of Goddess creation or humans that decided to transition to an angelic being.<br/><br/>So these feelings that Gabriel was having for Luna was new; he was moved by her compassion and her plight.<br/><br/>Walking off the street into the Boulder Cafe would be wise for almost any being apparently; had Gabriel not been an angel, he would have been hit by traffic many times over.  Gabriel also believed the intentions of the men he had seen were nefarious; the happy-go-go hippy Bob Marley man was not very impressive to him; in fact, he would probably be the first to have to go no matter how nice the others might be.  He seemed to announce, with great arrogance, what the others were going to do.  This sucked.  Gabriel would have wanted to just kick all their asses when they showed up; he would start by bashing the demons to bits and then making their lives miserable.  They didn't deserve Luna; not at all.<br/><br/>Gabriel looked down at his skin; the tone of his flesh was turning red.  Odd; why was he feeling embarrassed?  No one was watching.<br/><br/>A couple approached the booth; the booth was right next to Luna.  "This is a good place!" the woman said.  Gabriel whispered in her ear, "You don't want to sit here."  Suddenly, the woman said, "We don't want to sit here."  Gabriel didn't want anyone distracting him.<br/><br/>Sitting down at the wooden table, he looked around.  There were many booths lined up one right after another; it was strange that a waiter should serve food to a whole bunch of humans.  In heaven, everyone served themselves.  Lush gardens and vast buffets were to be had by anyone at anytime.  Would Luna ever get to visit such a place, or would she had to be here as mortal indefinitely?<br/><br/>Gabriel frowned.  It was then he realized; the gentleman had entered the building. The blondie was moving forward, looking for whom he was to meet.  Gabriel's eyes narrowed; the demons attached to him and the others were guiding their every move.  Gabriel shot an arrow with his bow at some of the demons as a warning he was watching.  It was then he made a decision; no matter the cost, no matter what lines had to be crossed ... he would protect the lovely human creature known as Luna and he would not forgive himself if something happened to her.
