Legends say that we have two creatures sitting on each side of our shoulders, one angel on the right and one demon on the left.
It is true, only that they are not on your shoulders but disguising in the people around you. But what happens if the tw...

I squeeze myself in between the people. If it hadn't for Willow, I wouldn't go to this length to pretend as a waitress at a rowdy club. Once I got out of the crowd safely with a tray filled with liquor and shot glasses, my eyes immediately landed on her.
There's my sweet girl. As expected of Willow, she sits properly and rarely takes a drink with her friends. Quickly, I walk in their direction to serve more drinks.
"Is Yoongi coming?" I heard her friend, Penelope, said. Looking around and knowing the time, it seems like the boy in question won't show up.
"More alcohol?" I butt in, and I sensed how Willow's eyes landed on me. She seems uncomfortable around the people she's not quite familiar with. But I convinced her that it's for the best. Besides, Penelope is a friend. She wouldn't let Willow get hurt.
"Yes, please," Penelope sighed. I began unloading the stuff on my tray and pouring some beverages into their glasses.
After that, "I heard someone turned twenty-three today," I intervened.
"Oh, I did," Willow quietly declared, and I smiled widely at her.
"Let's sing her a song then!" I enthusiastically announced, and all the people at their table looked at me in different ways. "One, two, three... Happy birthday to you..."
Nevertheless, I continued my true intention on why I have to show up in a human form. Clapping my hands together and loudly singing the birthday song to my subject, everyone else eventually warmed up. They joined me, and I saw Willow somehow enjoying it.
The moment they finished the song, "Happy twenty-third birthday," I greeted her again and winked before leaving. It's a shame how I can't give her a gift. We're not allowed to steal, and basically, we do not earn money. How will I get her one? That was the only way I could show her that her birth is a blessing to everyone else.
It felt like it was just yesterday when I saw how Willow's mother struggled to give birth to a lovely child.
I ran inside the bathroom and made sure that no one else is inside. Slowly, I turn back to my usual invisible self. The pain from growing back my wings has become bearable as years passed by. Once I'm completely back to my normal form, I walk through the wall and saw Julia waiting for me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. "Don't you have a subject to look after?" I laughed. Julia's subject is Penelope. Yup, Willow's friend. It is also the reason why Julia and I are close.
But the thing is, Julia has been an angel for only five years. Last month marked the fifth year of her being Penelope's guardian. It varies for anyone. Unlike me, since Willow's birth, I was there.
