"O passing angel, speed me with a song, a melody of heaven to reach my heart and rouse me to the race and make me strong."
- Christina Georgina Rossetti

Irina's POV
Umupo na ako sa pinakadulong part ng library. This is my favorite place to read and chill here.
Inilapag ko ang bag ko at pumunta sa mga bookshelves. I went to the mythology section of books.
Trying to find some books about angels and devils kasi eto topic namin.
Pili ako ng pili ng magandang libro na makakasagot ng mga katanungan ko. Sa dami nila diko na alam kung anong huhugutin. Kung pwede lang to kuhanin lahat eh.
To my surprise I've found one book that caught my attention.
'Beyond Angels and Demons: The Truth Behind the Fiction by Rene Chandelle'
Hinila ko iyon. Pero sa hindi maintindihang dahilan, hindi ito gumagalaw. Parang may pumipigil dito mula sa kabilang part ng shelve.
Sinilip ko kung sino ang hinayupak na nang-aagaw ng libro ko.
And to my surprise, a beautiful, perfectly made creature was in front of me.
Isang napaka gwapong nilalang ang nakikihila sa librong hawak ko.
Matangkad, black haired, maputi. Sobrang puting lalaki. Gwapo siya mga pre.
Pero duh! I don't like his aura. Napakasungit ng dating niya. Kalamo boss kung makatingin.
"Akin 'to." I blankly said.
"Fine." he replied in a cold tone and suddenly went in front of me.
He looked at me in the eye coldly and blank.
His eyes.
It change its color! From ash gray to green!
Holy fuck! Am I just hallucinating or I just saw his eyes change its color?
"You found that and you found me." he then said and flashed a devilish smile on his face.
T-that smirk. I t-think I've known someone who also had that kind of smirk.
Pero nah. I can't even say if that guy from my nightmare is real. So hindi naman siguro siya yon. Malayong maging siya.
Kakatunganga ko, hindi ko namalayang nakaalis na pala yung lalaki.
Weird.
Sino kaya iyon?
He's mysterious. Everything in him is a mystery. From his eyes, his words, and his appearance. Hindi ko alam na may ganon palang klase ng estudyante dito. Parang foreigner at naligaw lang.
"If the devil might find you, don't be afraid to call God's name. And in the name of God, I will be sent here."
Para akong binuhusan ng tubig ng biglang may magsalita sa tenga ko. I can still feel the strange warm breath of that someone who suddenly talked.
Lumingon ako. Pero wala akong nakitang tao.
Kingina? Sino iyon?
Nagkibit-balikat nalang ako. Everything's being odd here.
Ibinalik ko ang atensyon ko sa bookshelves. Nagtingin-tingin pa ako ng mga librong magugustuhan ko doon.
'The Language of Flowers by Mandy Kirkby'
