A storm raged hard and fast, pelting the earth with rain with the sky with flashes of light. The white feathers of a young girls wings dragged in the puddles as she watched, the ends turned brown with from the dirty water. A raggedy doll was clutched under the right arm. She stayed in the shadows – where she thought no one would be able to see or hear her. No one, expect for the watchful gaze of a man. The man. He walked with purpose and care, stepping between puddles as he crept closer and closer. It wasn't until he spoke up that the girl even took notice of his ever growing presence. She hugged her doll closer to herself and looked at him with a mix of fear and confusion.
"Where are your parents?" he asked. "Do they know you're out here alone in this storm?"
"My mom says I'm not allowed to talk to strangers," she replied.
"My name is Mr. Sho. I'm not a stranger anymore, am I?" he continued. "Now, what is your name?"
"I'm xxx," she replied. She didn't know that she would not utter that name ever again, or at least not for a very long time. "My parents are sleeping. I tried to wake them up, I really did, but they won't wake up."
"I know, Angel," he replied as he took her arm carefully. "Come on, you're going to catch a cold out here."
"Angel? Who's Angel?" she asked as she tilted her head in confusion.
"That's your new name, of course."
