Chaos 3:  Atashi no Tenshi
by Nikholas _Chaos_ F. Toledo

	It's so dark.  I can't see anything.  It's so hard to breathe.  No!  
This can't be...
	Lightning bolts crackled and thunder echoed in the distance.  I 
feel the earth move.  Suddenly, what I'm sleeping on feels so hollow.  I 
try to got away from this spot, this scary spot, but with every step I 
make the ground feels as if it's breaking.  Oh no!  A giant wave is 
looming behind me.  Where was the ocean, anyway?  There wasn't one.  I 
have to run... real fast.  The earth is opening up, like it's already 
going to swallow me.  I can't do anything.  Why can't I just move away?!  
The wave is nearer now.
	AAAAAAARGH!
	"Akane!" someone screamed.  A hand sought to reach me.  A hand from 
the heavens.  I try to extend my arms but it's as if I'm paralyzed at 
this point.  I can't even seem to find my voice.  I want to scream out 
loud yet something isn't making me do so.  It's so stupid.
	"Akane!"  It was him again.  "I'm here!"
	The wave has engulfed me already.  I try to swim to safety, 
wherever that is.  But what I thought temporary paralysis wasn't.  I 
still can't move... can't breathe... I'm dreaming.  It's so cold...
	<blink>
	Then warmth surrounded me.  I feel arms around me.  I look up.  
He's smiling at me.  A smile that makes me feel so serene.  Warmth.  He 
knew that I need it.  All the while I was panicking he was already there.  
How could I have been so blind?
	His hand brushed away a tendril that flew to my face.  "You're safe 
now," he whispered.
	I smiled weakly at my savior.  I noticed that light emanated from 
his being and that he had wings.  An angel!  And yet, there was something 
oddly familiar about him.  I know who my angel is.  I know what to think.
	I squeezed his hand.  "Thank you, Ryoga."
