home.”
“My angel wants to go home? Okay,” suddenly he nodded and took some steps back. His fingers dropped from my face and I felt relieved. But still something seemed strange. A few minutes ago he didn't want to let me go, and now he was giving me my freedom. Did I miss something?
I glanced at the door through which I entered inside, then back at Marcus who only nodded and waved his hand toward the door, giving me a sing that I can freely go out.
Without a minute to spare, I ran out. I didn't glance back, although something in my head told me that I should make sure, that Marcus wasn't following me. But I just couldn't force myself to glance back. I was so freaked out. I had never felt so scared in my life and the only thing was to be back at home where no one could ever touch me.
I found my sister at home. She was in my room, playing with her dolls. I was so happy to see her. I instantly grabbed and hugged her. She didn't resist, although I noticed a complaint in her eyes. She wasn't of those angels who loved hugs, but I wanted one at that moment. I needed to know that I wasn't dreaming, that I was far away from a devil.
I still didn't know how he found me and knew who I was, but I would like to.
I didn't tell anyone about Marcus. For some reason I was afraid to mention about him to anyone. Somewhere deep inside me I knew that if I speak about him with someone, I would understand that it had really happened and he was somewhere, waiting for me in a dark alley. So, I just tried to forget that I had ever met a demon.
I didn't get out of the house for two months. Merdian noticed that, but didn't ask what had happened and I was glad, but Mr. Spring was another thing. He noticed my strange behavior and ordered to tell me what had happened.
I didn't like to lie, but at that time it seemed the best thing in the world. I just told him that during one day I saw a tragic accident and it scared a live of me. Because of that, I was just afraid to leave the house.
He narrowed his eyes after hearing my explanation. What I really knew about Mr. Spring, that he was really a smart person. It was really hard to trick him and I knew, he didn't believe me. But for some reason he didn't push me to tell the real reason. After all, why should he? I was spending my time at home, where nothing bad could happen to me.
Really?

I was waked up by a ringing phone. I hated that invention sometimes.
I opened my eyes and started to search for that thing. I found it on the ground. On the screen I saw my brother's name. I didn't know if I should be happy or mad that he was calling me...when? At twelve o'clock. Dammit, I slept away. My alarm clock wasn't able to wake me up. How it seemed, I was really tired.
“Hello,” I said still drowsy.
“Good morning,” my brother said in a teasing tone. “You know that you should be in the hospital and be my teacher?” I imagined him putting a wide grin on his face.
“You are starting from today?” I yawned. I needed more sleep.
“Yes, today is the big day. Where are you? Why have I to stay next to your locked cabinet?” he was giving one question after another.
“It was a hard day,” I answered simply and tried to leave my warm bed, but it was difficult. That event with Melody, Katherine...
“Really? I think it will be only harder, because there is an angry client of yours waiting for you to come,” he said.
“Client?” I didn't understand. My only client was Miss Melody, who really wasn't able to wait for me next to my cabinet. Maybe he was one of the Spring?
“Yes,” he said in serious tone. “He is young,” my brother added. That was enough for me to understand who that client was. Mr. Merdian Spring was waiting for me and I was late. Great. I was in a huge trouble.
“I will be there as soon as possible.”
I put my phone down and quickly started to do things which I had to be done hours ago. But I really needed to get some sleep. Maybe Merdian would understand
