I'm looking for a beta reader

I already found someome who wants to help me and one is enough at the time, thank you though.

I'm new to beta reading so you can take my advice with grain of salt if you're so inclined. But I read your post and then your response to the science teacher and thought that maybe it would be worth your while to take more than one persons suggestions. I think you've got something with the plot and the whole darkness horror thing going on. I wish you luck and look forward to hearing more about it.

I am fifteen years old and dutch, so my English probably isn't the best you've ever seen. I write in English because I find it easier to work out ideas in this language. Dutch has always felt like a farmer language to me. (not to insult other Dutch people)
Besides my English, I also need help on getting the dark feel to the story I'm trying to get.
I do not know much about how this site works, so please tell me how you'd like to make contact
ABOUT THE STORY.
It's a dark fantasy. At least, that is what I'm trying to make it. The name I thought of is Blue Veil, because one of the main characters is depressed. I feel like it is a bit of a childish plot, but here we go;
It's about a man who tries to find his a guardian angel, who had guarded him in his childhood. He gets so obsessed with it that he refuses to die until he finds her. 4000 years after she dissapeared, he finds a lead to her. This is where the story starts. The whole story is about him trying to find her and what has become of his guardian.
It is in two point of views, one of the guy who is trying to find the angel and the other one of the angel her self.
I will give you more details if you are interested to help me.
The story is right now around the 3000 words (unfinished), but I'm going for an full novel.
WHAT KIND OF BETA READER I'M LOOKING FOR.
I'm looking for someone who is patient enough to correct my mostly Google translate English and my chaotic way of writing. Please be as honest as you can, it may be the only way for me to improve. Also note that I am an amateur, the last time I wrote long stories was when I went to elementary school.
I'm looking for somebody who can work with dark themes and who knows how to portray various mental illnesses (such as depression, temper problems and anhedonia.)
And someone who can whipe away my cliche and childish way of writing and give me some tips on making it more 'magical' but mature.
I don't know the target group I am going for, so I also need some advice on that. It is not yet MA, but some horror in it is welcome.
Quiting is always an option, I understand if something comes up.
Also, please take me seriously. I might be 15, but it will be hard to take somebody seriously when I'm not treated likewise.
Thank you for your time!!
