LPS: Angels of Freedom [OLD]

Part 2 - Flashbacks - Valerie's Perspective

Why did I feel odd about that boy? He was just a normal guy, I thought, but something about him didn't feel normal at all. I felt like I...knew him...

It's probably nothing. I shouldn't worry about it. Mother wouldn't like it if I got caught up in things like this anyways. She says that a good angel never thinks about the past, only the present and future, so I should live up to that.

But still, I can't stop thinking about that boy...why does he feel familiar? Why do I feel like I've been forgetting something my entire life?

My thoughts were interrupted when Mother called to me. "Valerie! Did you finish planting that new flower garden yet?"

"Oh, not yet! I'm almost done, though!"

"Okay, well, hurry up. I have a meeting I have to go to, so you'll have to watch the children while I'm gone."

Mother runs an orphanage, so she often has me watching the children when she leaves for meetings with other angels. I don't mind it, but I almost wish someone else could look after the little ones instead of me. Sometimes I wish I had true freedom.

The boy I saw looked like he had complete freedom over his life. I bet his lifestyle is much better than mine. I'm always stuck looking after the kids or taking care of Mother's flower gardens. It's very rare for me to be able to do whatever I want.

I went back inside the orphanage after I finished planting the flowers and found that Mother had already left.
