Guardian Angel Academy by C V Ricks Page B

I prepared my baton and closed my eyes tight, concentrating.  I instilled the word leave into Journey's mind, then the other girl's mind.   LEAVE.  Journey began talking, her usual spiel, when she was overpowered with the thought to leave and paused her speech.  The man at the door said, “Come in, I have something to show you,” he started walking inside, thinking the girls would follow.  Instead of following, however, the girls ran.  They ran down the seven flights of stairs with the man soon following after them.  They continued running down the street until they finally dared to look back and breathe and see that he was no longer there.
    Journey was huffing and puffing when she came out of the practice room.  “What was that about?” she asked.
    “I think that man was a deranged killer,” I said.  “I used Mind instillation to get you to run away.  How did you save my life?”
    “I got the tree branches to move to where you were falling   I used Controlling the Elements.”
    “I think we did a pretty good job, for our first week,” I said.  “I wonder how Kevin and Felix did.”
    “We'll have to ask them at lunch,” said Journey.  The bell chimed and we were excused to our next class.
     

 
     
     
    Chapter 13
     
    Angel Jeremiah greeted the class.  “Today we will talk about when you will need to glow and we will take a glowing quiz.  First of all who can tell me, from your reading, when glowing is required.
    One of the students answered.  “If you are sent as a messenger to someone, then you will glow, so that the person knows that you are an angel.”
    “Okay, that is correct.  Rarely you will need to tell something to someone and appear to them.  Other times you can send the person the message by way of thought instillation or a dream.”
    “What other times will you need to use your glowing skills?”
    “When you are among an angel choir come to the earth.”
    “This is true.  Also,when fending off evil spirits. It helps send them away as glowing thwarts them and their powers.  I would now like to have each one of you come to the front of the room and show us your glow.”
    One by one we each came up to the front and the lights were turned off and we showed Jeremiah our glowing abilities.  Everyone, except Bertrand was able to glow.
    “Very good,” said Angel Jeremiah.  “In such a short time you have learned to glow.  Practice some more tonight and tomorrow will be our final exam.  Those who pass the final will not need to take this course next week.  You can choose an elective to take in its place.  We have some fine electives to choose from.  Also, as guardian angels, I expect that you are compassionate, and not competitive.  Therefore, I expect that one of you will help Bertrand so that he can pass also.  You are excused.”
    We walked out of our class.  I wanted to go up and tell Bertrand I would help him, but Journey beat me to it.  Oh well, she was better at glowing than I and would be the better teacher.  
    “I hope I pass glowing,” I said, while we floated out the door.  “There are some electives I'm interested in.”
    “Oh, yeah,” said Kevin.  “What are they?”
    “Either linguistics or Telepathy,” I answered.
    “Yes, I heard that to pass and become a guardian angel we have to be able to speak many languages and to use telepathy when communicating with other guardian angels on a job.  You don't want to speak out loud when you're invisible.”
    “What classes are you guys interested in?” I asked.
    “I'd like to take the angel characteristics class,” said Felix.  “I used to be a boy scout.  In fact I just got my Eagle a month before...well you know, before I died.  Anyway, there are certain characteristics we need to develop to become a guardian angel.  It's like the Boy Scout Law only the Angel law:  An angel is wise, intelligent, patient, meek, joyful, modest, holy, glorious, mighty, and obedient.  I would like to work
