The Souls of Rain
Prologue
Three angels were standing in the middle of a round,
crystal room. Their long, silver cloaks were swaying slowly in the wind; the
rustle of their wings was the only sound breaking the intense silence. One of
them, a woman with curly, strawberry-blond hair that went to her feet, raised
her hand and a huge, white cloud formed in front of her.
“The girl deserves to know the truth,” she said to the
others.
“This is insane,” a male angel replied, shaking his
head. He ran one palm through his messy, sandy hair; his big, blue eyes seemed
to be brighter than the sky itself. “What if something goes wrong?” He stared
nervously at the picture appearing inside the cloud.
“We are losing control over her.”
“She’s right,” the other male angel said. “It’s not
safe to keep her here.” His golden eyes shifted impatiently between his
companions. “We need to send her back to the earth.”
“You will follow her,” the woman said, looking at the
blue-eyed angel. He was the youngest of the three of them, and his age was the
only thing that stopped him from breaking the order. He didn’t want to spy on
anyone. He used to be one of the best guardian angels, until one day he made a
huge mistake and was obliged to follow the orders of the top-ranked angels. It
was the worst part of his punishment; he hated being told what to do.
“You didn’t have to say that,” he snapped, meeting the
woman’s emotionless eyes. Sometimes it was really hard to believe that she was
an angel, and not a demon wearing snow-white wings. “You know I would have
never left her unprotected.”
“Right.” The other angel smirked.
“Albert,” the woman hissed, warningly. Her voice
sounded calm, but the intonation said it all — she didn’t approve fights
between her subordinates. “This meeting is over. I’ll see you two later.” And
just like that, she disappeared, making the air in the room crackle. Albert
grimaced at the force of energy left after her disappearance. He wasn’t as
strong as she was, and the powers she possessed always made him uneasy. He
looked one last time at the blue-eyed angel, and followed the woman.
Left alone, the angel stared at the picture of the
girl he was supposed to spy on. The girl was a guardian angel. She was slim and
beautiful; with long, black hair and big green eyes, shadowed by the curling
lashes.
She was walking down the alley surrounded by the
age-old oaks, watching her fosterling. She seemed to be relaxed, but in reality
her every instinct was on alert. Her wings were outspread, and though no human
could see her like that, the creatures of the heavens always knew when she was
on duty.
“I won’t let
you down, Claire,” the angel swore in a whisper, making the cloud in front of
him turn black. “Never again….”
