Chapter 1: Little Miss Angel

It was just like any other night, I was riding my bike as fast as I can. The crisp wind feels good on my skin. After a day's work in the office it just feels nice to be outside. Drifting along my usual way home, I heard a loud thud in the back of an alley and for some reason I had to stop and take a look what it was. I hopped off my bike and I couldnt believe what I saw. A girl, about 6 years old laying on top of a garbage dump. It was such a strange sight as I walked closer and saw that her dress was a vivid white. I stared at her face that was almost doll-like. Perfect curls and long lashes. Every parent's dream of what a daughter should look like. She was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I can't posibly leave her in such a place, knowing the streets of Pasay my conscience will hunt me forever if I did. I tapped her on the arm and I was startled, she was burning hot. Poor baby, I thought to myself. Who would leave you in such a place? I picked her up and held her gently.

The rain started to fall, thankfully we're almost home now. I turned the corner and we're finally here. I left my bike on the front lawn and carefully shifted the little girl's weight to my right arm as I struggled to unlock the door. Ignoring the mud on my shoe I quickly laid her down on the sofa and dashed to my room to get some dry towel. I wrapped it around her and I couldn't help but look at the little girl's face. She was so.. so peaceful. Almost like a baby's. So innocent. I was startled when I realized she was looking right at me. "Hello." her voice was almost a bell that rang. "He-Hello yourself" I said flustered. "Where am I?" she said "In my house" I had no idea what to say. "I'm thirsty." she whispered "Oh - okay. I'll get you some water. Stay right there." She nodded.

Well that was weird. But she is something else. I was walking back to the sala when I noticed she wasn't on the sofa anymore. I looked around but she wasn't in the room. She wasn't in the bathroom or kitchen either. I went upstairs and found her in my room. Wearing my old t-shirt of E-heads. "My dress was dirty. I Borrowed this. Is it okay?" She was expecting an answer "Sure.. i guess" and then she did it. She gave me the biggest, cutest most adorable smile I have ever seen. "Thank you kuya!" She exclaimed still smiling. "Here's your water" "Oh thank you! I'm so thirsty!" I watched her as she drank the whole glass "Are you hungry?" "Yes please!" She answered as fast as she can. "Okay let's go downstairs and I'll fix you something to eat" "Yes please!" again with that smile of hers.

Chapter 2: Project Make Kuya Happy

It's been nearly 2 weeks now since I found Angel. I decided to call her that beause that's what she's been to me. A little angel. I've been trying to ask her what her real name is or where she's from or who her parents are but she keeps on saying she doesn't have a name, she doesn't have a home and she has not parents. After 2 weeks of trying to trick her into telling me, I decided to stop for now. *Knock Knock Knock* "Yes?" "Sir you have a visitor" "Let me guess? Is it a little dwarf with a big grin on her face?" "Hmpf!! I am not a dwarf Kuya!" Angel said with her lips pursed "Oh, What are you doing here again duwende? I told you to stay downstairs and play with the other kids diba?" "But the are so boring! I'd rather stay here with Ate Nina!" rolling her eyes and crossing her arms "Alright alright but if I hear one complaint from Nina you are never going to be allowed upstairs okay?" I looked at Nina who was brushing her fingers through Angel's hair "Nina is it okay if Angel stays with you? She can be quite a hand-full" "No problem sir Vince, Angel is such a behaved little girl." Angel hearing what Nina said was all smiles "See kuya? I'm well-behaved!" I just chuckled and snorted "Whatever miss dwende" "hmpft!!" she closed the door half smiling with her tongue out.
