chapter two ~ owt retpahc


"Mummy?"

She stops in her tracks as she hears the little voice. Sighing, the Angel turns to see a little girl.

"Phaedra" She gently scolds "I told you to go to sleep"

"Where were you?" the little girl innocently asks, unaware of what her mother does for a living.

"Mummy was doing her job sweetheart" The woman soothes, gently picking her up.

"Mummy, can you read me a story?" the girl asks, her innocent ocean eyes shimmering.

"No" the woman says, tucking a strand if her daughters matching silky black hair behind her ear. "It's too late"

"Ok Mummy" the girl says yawning as she was placed in her bed.

"Mummy?" the little girl asks

"Phaedra?"

"How old are you?"

"22" the Angel comments suspiciously "Why?"

"For school" the girl smiles, snuggling into her blankets.

The Angel kissed her forehead. "Goodnight" she whispers.

The Angel walks out of her daughter's room and into her own.

She changes into her pjs and hops into bed, staring out the windows and into the night sky.

A tear trickles out of her hazelnut eyes.

"I love you Adrian" she whispers before slipping off into a dreamless sleep.

"Morana!" a high pitched voice scolds. "Your late!"

"Try raising your own kid Nia. Then come and scold me!" The Angel, Morana, snaps.

"Alright I deserved that" the girl whispers under her breath "But I have a task!"

Morana rolls her eyes "Why do u always get tasks? Can't I have a holiday?"

"Unless you fall pregnant again or marry then no."

"Nia. What is the task?" She asks sitting down in her big, leather chair in her tiny office.

"Ok well..." Nia says opening the file "She lives in California. 25 years old. And goes by the name of Harmony Grey."

"Ok" Morana shrugs. "I'll book myself a flight. Notify Fiona please"

"Why?"

"She looks after Phaedra for me when i'm away. Shes only two! She can't look after herself!" Morana says in a 'duh' tone.

Nia nods her head before walking out of the room.

Morana sighs and leans back, sighing.

It was hard to leave her daughter here when she went away. But she had to. It was her job after all.

And she knew the consequences if she quit.

"Would you like Mr Snuggles or Fluffy?" Morana asks getting down two stuffed animals from her daughter's shelf.

"Mr snuggles" Phaedra says snatching him.

"Ok then." Morana says putting the other teddy back.

"Where are you going Mummy?" The girl asks sitting on her mother's bed watching her pack her stuff on the ground.

"A place called California" She answers sorting through her clothes.

"Why do you go to a lot of places?"

"Its for mummy's work. Do you not like Fiona?"

"I do. But I want to play with you instead of her all the time."

Morana stops in her tracks and looks up at her daughters eyes, feeling a wave of guilt.

For the past year she had been going out late and hardly ever having time for her daughter. Fiona was spending more time with Phaedra then her own mother did.

With a frown Morana hugged her daughter.

"I'm sorry sweetie" she says "I really am. Mummy doesn't want to work and not see you but she has to. How about this. When I get back I'll take you out for a Mummy daughter day. How does that sound?"

Phaedra nods, obviously excited before rubbing her eyes.

"Alright bed time." Morana says, picking her up and placing her in her bed.

Phaedra nods and settles in.

"Goodnight petite fleur, je t'aime"

"je t'aime mummy!"
