Raziel

I have no choice but to show up. If they leave, it will be too late! It's the only chance to meet him!

I came out of my hiding place in the alley and played my role!

- You there! Where have you been?

- Rachel?

- Yes! Do you see Daniel? That's the guy I was talking about!

Maybe he sees through me!

I looked up at... Daniel! Why do I have a strange feeling about them? Something is wrong! I can feel it! A guardian angel and a... I don't even know what the hell he is! There's not even an aura! But why do I instinctively want to avoid him? I don't like this at all!

- Who are you? What's your name?

He asked, glaring at me.

I narrowed my eyes, weighing what to say.

- Raziel.

- Daniel. Pleased to meet you.

He said and went to shake my hand. Maybe I'll know what he is if I touch him.

I extended my hand in turn. When we shook hands, I felt like burning, but I was strong enough to bear it. Another demon in my place would incinerate. I also couldn't figure out anything about him! So, does that mean that he's some kind of...an Angel, since he burns me? But why doesn't he have a clear white aura like Rachel? This fog around him, confuses me or it doesn't let me understand his nature, damn it! It's like it protects his identity, his true identity!

- You have a warm hand.

Daniel remarked. Fortunately, I showed no sign of pain when we grabbed hands, but it's better if I avoid too many contacts with him!

- I'm... "warm-blooded"... What can I say?

I said and smiled to lighten the tense atmosphere.

- So, how can you see Rachel?

He asked immediately.

- And you? How do you see her?

I turned the question around, to avoid answer but at the same time, to find out about him!

He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me without blinking.

His look reminded me of something! His whole attitude was reminiscent of someone in authority and someone that had experience...

- He has psychic powers!

Rachel rushed in to give information to Daniel.

Without looking at Rachel for a moment, he simply nodded.

- And what business does he have here?

He was asking, as if I wasn't in front of him.

- I felt something strange and came! I didn't expect to find an angel!...
