OOC is in the advansted ooc sectin under the same name)
A long time ago, a boy not quite a man, stood outside a bar talking to two women. The boy had long purple hair, purple eyes and a smooth smile. His entire family was born with odd features such as this, so it was nothing to Cody Tairrents to be born the the way he was. He was just the same as most men, or boys, his age. At 17 he looked look at woman in a sexual manner, he went to school, he went to parties with his friends. I fact, that is what he was about to do on this particular night.

Cody had two siblings, an older brother who didn't live with the family in New York and a little sister who he was supposed to be picking up and bringing to the party with him. But, like I had mentioned at the beginning of this tale he was certainly talking to two woman outside of a bar. The time they had set for him to meet was 10:00pm, but as it was now 10:22pm he was obviously late.

Jenny Tairrens and her best friend Shelly waited out side Shelly's work place for Cody to arrive but it was now clear to them that he wasn't coming, so the got on the subway instead. they knew that if they missed this party they would regret it for the rest of their lives. In this case the rest of their lives wasn't long. In a freak tragedy and unlikely circumstance the subway crashed and the two girls were both killed.

This event was devastating for Cody. If he had been on time they would still be alive. He blamed himself and so did his brother. Time went on and Cody found the guilt was too much for him to bare. He became a drunk, got kicked out of his apartment and ended up begging for food on the street. His brother wouldn't speak to him and, having no where to turn, he ended up living on a bench in Central Park. Three years later Cody found himself still alive, but not at all well. He constantly thought back to the death of his sister and was starting to go off the deep end. Little did he know that he was well on the way.

Samantha Tam was an angel. Born as an angel and living in heaven, as the angel of faith. She was meant to go down to earth and help people that were down on there luck. When she got the notice to help Cody she quickly looked up the co-ordinates and vanished. She appeared next to him out of nowhere but Cody didn't even flinch or anything. Samantha explained to him that she was a soul worker and that she was there to help integrate him back into society. Long days, months, and even a few more years passed but eventually Cody got better, he shaped up, got a good job, an apartment and even found a girlfriend. Now that was no surprise. Samantha and Cody had developed feeings for each other and were now happily married.

Now Cody knows everything about Angels and Heaven and visits often. God had even given him some of the abilities that angels possess, such as a much prolonged life and the power to vanish an apear anywhere he wished. He is happy now. But happiness doesn't stay forever and Cody's life was meant for tragedy.

Tragedy first hits in a complicated birth. Their first born, Talia would have been her name, was still born. Both Sam and Cody were damaged beyond belief. Grief das as though and as it did the time came to try again, this time the successful birth of a beautiful baby boy. Turquoise eyes, black hair and crimson red bangs. They named him Larik. Larik Tairrents, an adorable baby and god knows he would grow up to be just as handsome and smooth as his father bt with the utter and complete kindness of his mother.

Time went on and another baby girl was born. Larik now had sister, Colisto. Hair, also black but with no second color and wavy like her mother's. Eyes like her fathers. Larik loved his little sister from the moment she was born and he was determined to be the best big brother that there was even though he was only 2 years old. Through the years he taught her all he had learned before her and they were like best friends. Four more years passed and Larik's 6th birthday came and went but it wasn't much longer after that that it happened. God sent Samantha and Cody a message telling then that war had broken out in heaven. He was asking them to come and fight. Sam, being an angel, had the responsibility and Cody, as her husband wasn't going to let her go alone. He would never feel resposible for someone else death ever again. But what of the children?
(read the rest in the next post)

Cody went to the only person he could think to help. His brother. A lot went on that day and in the end a decision would have to be made. Cody's brother could only take one child with him. Sadly the other would have to be put in a temporary orphanage till their parents return. Larik was the obvious choice, he was older and stronger and even said he would rather go. So Colisto went with her uncle and Larik was left in what they thought were good hands. However, it turned ut to be a terrible orphanage.

The children were made to do inhumane things, they were fed terrible food, and all the other kids treated Larik like dirt for knowinng he had a family that was coming back for him. Larik made it through though. Never gving up hope. Two years passed the expected time the war would end and his parents didn't return, but he was sure they were still cominng for him. Larik was a smart kid too. So he wasn't around for most of the 'torture'. He enrolled himself in School. Something they couldn't stop him from doing because the school board would have shut them down. It was great at school but when the summer came it meant no more school to hide in. Larik still pushed on though. He had now, at nine, made one single friend at the orphanage. It didn't last long however. Only 2 years later she was adopted. It has been such a long time now and Larik had started to forget. He didn't believe his parents were coming any more. The other kids made that easy to think. He didn't even remember he had a sister anymore. He struggled on for one more year but he just couldn't take it any more. He finally ran away.

Larik was still a smart kid. He built himself a home just on the other side of the brigde that led to his school, he knew he needed to keep going to school and he got a night job eve though he was only 12. He was a hard worker and he had a strong will to survive. If only he had stayed at the orphanage a few more days. I mentioned before that Codys life was meant for tragedy, well just before the war was over, his wife Sam, was killed. That was it for Cody he left heaven and returned to earth to get his children. The only things he had left. First he went to his brother's and got back his beautiful girl and together they went to get her brother the not so little anymore, Larik. Except, he wouldn't be at the orphanage when they went to get him though and they had no idea where he would of gone.

It rained the next few days and Cody searched for his son every day. Colisto didn't ever leave her father's side and they both were soaked. Two days later they got wind that Larik may be attending school nearby. They rushed there immediately but it turned out they had just missed him, he had gone home about 10 minutes before. Cody and Colisto went back out into the rain and started off in the directon Larik's teacher had said she saw him leave.

Five minutes before they spotted the bridge, Larik was on it, walking home just like the teacher had said. He was down from the rain and bored from the long day at school. He jumped up on the rail of the bridge, like he had done many times before, only this time the rail was slippery fom the rain.
The next morning Cody got a call from the morgue asking him to identify the body of a 12 year old boy that fit the description he has sent out of his son. It broke Cody's heart. The only thing that kept him going after that was his little girl. He couldn't keep going for long. Soon he was back on the bench, drunk and crazy and would never get up again. Colisto had died one week latter from pneumonia. The Tairrents family was torn to pieces and Cody would never know that all 3 of his children were reborn as angels in Heaven.

Larik lay in his bed way past noon. He was 15 now and living in his own apartment in heaven. Unaware of his family but he was the happiest he could ever remember being in his life, or rather in his life after death. He had his own place, lots of good food, money when he needed it and a brand new job. He was the new angel of faith. He hadn't done any work yet but he was supposed to start that day. God had gotten him out of bed by yelling in his head. His first job was to stop a girl from crashing her car and then to help her get back on her feet.

The girl's name was Laura. She was ony 16, she had a baby and an abusive boyfriend. She was driving to her mother's and going much too fast. Tears in her face and a baby in the back seat. She was about to crash and since her whole life had been a struggle she didn't believe in god at all. Larik was meant to change all of that. He did his job and stopped the car by making it run out of gas. He then came to her as a concerned bystander and introduced himself in hopes that there was more he could help her with. Together they pushed her car up to her mother's. They had a ways to go and they talked the whole way there. She took a liking to him right away. She told him how he reminded her of a boy she knew bac when she had been living in an orphanage. Since Larik had blocked out those years from his head he would never know that he was being reunited with his friend from years ago. When they reached her mothers she was convinced that the boy had saved her daughters life and she insisted that he stay the night. One night turned into 2 and 2 into 3 and so on. Soon Laura and Larik were dating and for some time things went well.

About a month after the “non accident” Laura's ex-boyfriend took Laura to court over their baby. He wanted the child back and told the court all sorts of lies about her being a bad mother. By this time Larik and Laura had a place of their own and Laura's dad had given Larik a job. He hadn't forgotten about why he was really there and god told him he was still needed. The day before the court date Laura went to church for the first time in a long time. she prayed that she would be able to keep the baby. In the end there was a diferent path set for Laura. The court took custody away from her and since the dad didn't really want the child it was given to Laura's mother instead. Laura was outraged and vowed that she would never trust in god or anything that had to do with god again.

Time went on like it always does and Larik and Laura were doing well. They had a nice house and a pretty good life. Laura's mother had the child stay with Laura as much as she could and soon the little girl was calling Larik daddy and Larik knew that he would soon puut in request to god to stay here with his love. He was 17 now, almost 18 and he knew he wanted to marry Laura even if that meant he would have to leave heaven. If he knew one thing it was that a marriage couldn't work unless both people were honest with each other. It was time to tell Laura the truth about who he was. He was going to tell her before proposing on the night of his 18th birthday. It was 11:00pm. One hour before he would turn 18. Larik called Laura into the bedroom. He took her hands and revealed his secret. Showing her the large white wings that he had concealed with a spell all this time.

This was his mistake. She was furious. She threw things, she yelled and she cursed and told him that she didn't love him any more, that she could never love him and that he was the worse person in the world to have kept this from her. She told him to leave her home and that she never wanted to see him again. She told him that she was getting security for the child and that if he ever tried to go near her as well he would be thrown in jail. No matter how much he tried to explain, no matter how many times he told her he loved her she wouldn't listen. She told him she couldn't even stand to look at him and to think he had the nerve to want to propose to her that it just disgusted her. By the time the door was slammed in his face it was 12:01pm and his whole life was ripped to shreds once more.. It was his 18th birthay and there was only one place he wanted to be that night. Tears streaming down his face he vanished and appeared on the bridge where he had fallen 6 years ago. He got up on the rail and gazed down at the rocks below. All the hope that he had had gone.
