'Call her name.'

Nevaeh sat behind the table as she pondered on those words. How possible was it to call on someone by just calling out their name? How could it be... possible? 

She didn't think it was.

She bit on the lead of her pencil as she pondered on that crazy possibility. 

"Laila?" She softly called, her voice filled with doubt and anxiety, while her eyes darted around the place in search of whatever might pop up.

What was she doing? She didn't believe this, right? A soft chuckle escaped her lips when nothing happened. There was no Laila. How stupid of her to believe such a thing was even possible. She couldn't even blame Dale this time. She had herself to blame for even considering this foolishness.

"Elle." Her thoughts slurred when she thought she had heard someone call her. 

"Stop being stupid." She hissed and reprimanded herself. She couldn't believe she was beginning to imagine things like this already. "It isn't-"

"Real?" She stiffened when she heard that. Her eyes dashed towards the door, but there was no...one.

Her heart slowly began to thump hard when she realised that had come from behind her. And its pace increased when she realised there was a presence behind her. Her breath suddenly became heavy and slow. Like a turtle, she rose to her feet and slowly turned around. 

She gasped, and her feet stumbled backwards when she saw her – Laila. S-she was...truly standing there, smiling at her.

Her eyes looked around the walls and celiing before glancing back at her. She gently looked the girl over, and an inaudible gasp slipped off her lips again.

"L—Lai-la?" She muttered under her breath as she looked over her in utter shock and disbelief. 

"I'm sorry, I startled you. He warned me not to, but I thought this would help you."

'Help her?' Nevaeh didn't know how this was going to help her. But wait! How was this even possible?! How did she get in there?

"How?" Was the only word she could say.

Laila smiled when she heard her question. "How am I here?" She asked as she walked closer, making Nevaeh instinctively take a step back. Laila stopped and gazed at her. She understood her fear. It was natural for her to feel that way. She'd be surprised if she behaved differently.

"I can move through space. It's called teleportation." She said with a smile that seemed like she lectured a small child.

Of course, Nevaeh knew what teleportation was. Wasn't that a fancy word created by crazy scientists and animators to deceive children and the minority of the world who believed in stuff like that? B-but how was it still possible?

Laila's smile dissipated when she saw the look on Nevaeh's face. She sighed deflatedly. "Look, I'm not here to hurt you. I won't hurt you."

Won't hurt her? Nevaeh took note of the word 'won't'. The last time, she had used the word 'can't' when she begged for her help. She didn't know why, but she believed her, just the same way she believes Dale. 

Laila took another step towards her, and this time she didn't move. Nevaeh's eyes followed her as she walked closer and closer till she stopped right in front of her. 

Laila's hand slowly reached for her face, and Nevaeh heard her sigh again. "You're not sleeping, Elleanor. The nightmares must have gotten worse."

Nevaeh didn't respond, as she could only look at her. She was still in shock by what had just happened. She couldn't believe she had just appeared out of nowhere.

They both stood and stared at each other in silence before Laila spoke up.

"Engel said you wanted to see me." She said as she walked around the library hall while Nevaeh's eyes closely followed, watching and observing her.

"Yes," Nevaeh replied. Laila paused and looked at her.

"Why?"

'Why?' 

Minutes ago, she had wanted to ask her to show her something, anything to make her believe — believe all they've been saying. That supernatural beings truly existed in the world. But now... She had seen something unexplainable, and she didn't know what to ask anymore.

"How is any of this possible?" She inquired. She believed she and the majority of the people living in the world didn't think any of this was possible.

Laila smiled, "It's no fault of yours that you don't believe. After all, no one wants to believe in crazy stuff. That will only make them crazy. And also like they say, seeing is—"

"Believing." Nevaeh completed her sentence, making Laila smile.

"Yes, but you forgot the last part. But feeling is the truth." She said as she turned and reached for a book on the shelf. She hissed and placed it back before resuming her walk around the room with her finger trailing the edge of the books.

"Knowing and accepting what we are isn't an easy fit, Elleanor. That I know, and also I know, henceforth, you'd guess and worry about our real identities and capabilities, but you already know who we are by what you feel, Elle."

Nevaeh understood what she was trying to say. She doesn't get any fiendish feeling around her or Dale, even though the man had a formidable aura about him. But that didn't reveal what they were, and it doesn't mean she could just accept anything. Knowing one's identity was different from knowing their personality. She wasn't asking who they were but what they were.

"What are you?" Nevaeh outrightly asked. She remembered asking this question wrongly was the first mistake she had made when she met Dale. She had asked him, 'who' he was, and he had told her, it wasn't a matter of who, but 'what' he was. He had left her a hint from the very beginning, but she had been too stupid to read some meaning into it.

She nervously gulped when Laila suddenly turned towards her with a strange look gleaning in her eyes. She retreated when Laila took a step towards her, but she stopped herself and buried her feet to the ground as she kept coming towards her with eyes keenly glued to hers.

She shouldn't be afraid now. She had asked, so she should be brave enough to get the answers she wanted. She tried to calm herself as she gazed at Laila. 

"Why don't I show you," Laila said.

Nevaeh didn't know what to expect but held her breath to brace herself for whatever was about to be revealed to her. But she held it even longer when Laila moved her shoulders, and a pair of sky-blue wings appeared before her eyes. Her eyes widened to the fullest as they stared at what stood before them. 

They were large, snowy and...and magnificent. It was surreal. Nevaeh blinked to ensure she was seeing something real and not just hallucinating. 

She had seen looping images of Angel Gabriel and Micheal, the archangel of God in the ancient and holy city of Jerusalem. But watching T.V, you could always tell yourself that it wasn't real, that it's nothing but a mere illusion perfectly enhanced by modern-day technology. But this...

"Are they-"

"Real?" Laila chuckled while she nodded. "Why don't you see for yourself." She told her, silently urging her to come forward.

Nevaeh subconsciously took slow steps towards her. Her eyes were solely fixed on the wings like they had enchanted her. 

Her heart thumped hard as she approached her while her astonished eyes looked at the celestial properties hanging from her shoulders, and her hand joined in the thrill as she struck it.

A short gasp escaped her lips when she felt it against her fingertips. It was nothing like she had ever seen or felt before. It was fluffy and snowy.

"You're an...angel." Nevaeh didn't know if she was asking or informing her. 

An angel? She took a step back and looked at Laila, who had a permanently amused look etched in her eyes like she was staring at her child exploring its amazing new toy. 

"You're an Angel, Laila." She muttered in disbelief.

"I am." Laila nodded with a smile.

Nevaeh couldn't believe it. Her mind stumbled back to some of the information she had read from that book. Supernatural beings and the abilities they possessed. Like super hearing, teleportation, telepathic skills and many more. So all those things were real? Angels truly existed? 

What about Dale? Was he an angel too? She believed he was. The wings! And the tattoo! Her eyes widened just as she thought about it.

"Engel? He.. he's an angel?"

"Not really." 

Not really? Her brows furrowed. What did she mean?

"What is he?" Her tone and voice were serious. She saw the hesitation in Laila's eyes, and it made her nervous.

"Laila, what is he?" She could already feel her heart pounding with unease. She didn't know why, but she wanted him to be an angel with wings too. But the answer she got made her confused and worried.

"Engel isn't what you'll call an angel. He supersedes that. He's something more...." She paused when she thought about the right word to use. 

"Ancient." 

Ancient? Nevaeh was confused. But the wings?

"The wings," she said. "He has a tattoo. I thought-"

"That is a punishment he gave to himself.. It's something to make him remember what he once lost."
