Day 1 - beginning I was 4 years old when I met Jay for the first time. He came to me in a dream, disguised as a character from my favourite tv show. My favourite character in fact, which was probably why I instantly took a liking to him. But I knew it was a dream, and I told him this, thinking he was just a figment if my imagination. He simply smiled at me, and that was that. Several days later, I spotted a boy my age sitting by a tree in the playground at school. I’d never seen him before, and no one seemed to be paying him any attention, so I decided to befriend him. It wasn’t until I sat down next to him that I realised he was the same person from my dream. I don’t know how I knew, as he looked different yet somehow similar. Blonde haired, blue eyed, and with gentle features, I thought he looked like an angel. I told him this and he smiled, the same mysterious smile he had in my dream. This led me to believe that he really was a figment of my imagination, perhaps an imaginary friend to keep me company. For some reason, I asked him if he lived in the tree we were sitting by, and he told me he did. I said that only magical creatures lived in trees, as I was going through an obsession with all things magical at the time. He replied that he was a magical creature, a guardian angel to be exact. He told me his name, and I sceptically said that it didn’t sound very angelic, to which he replied “That’s because I like to be different.” It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered he had Fallen after disobeying his superiors. Since then he had tried to distance himself from his kind as much as possible, instead choosing to follow the path of the humans, and attempting to commit every sin along the way. Now, I feel that I should establish that I was always very imaginative, and was more aware of the world than most children my age. Although I had often created imaginary scenarios and characters to entertain myself, I knew that this strange young boy was real. My name is Sinkia Parfeit, and this is the story of how Jay Tracy saved my #life.
