Noel woke up, alone. Something was missing. That something was big and irreplaceable.
She rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling. Every intake of breath burned her lungs. Though she didn’t know it she had once been to hell. The only man she would ever love was a fallen angel, he served the devil and yet she loved him. There was a lot she didn’t know about herself. Once upon a time she was an angel, but something had happened and she gave up her life for his. Her punishment was sentenced to life after life of loving him... Each lifetime she lived they always found one another, someway.
It was the morning of her 21st birthday, the day of her awakening. Her soul knew it was time, but the human it resided in knew nothing. “Noah…” she whispered. The name filled the emptiness for a moment. She wasn’t sure where the name came from or who it belonged to but speaking it out loud stirred something in her soul. With a confused groan she sat up. Baby blue eyes flitted out and around her small room.
Each time she was born something happened to her parents; death, disease, disappearances and disaster. It was always something, but she never realized this.
Work beckoned and looking at the time, it sent her scurrying for clothes. The librarian wouldn’t be happy if she showed up late, again. Her soul longed for his, cried out for his. Rushing she made it to work just in time, tugging her long golden hair up into a ponytail. Smiling she moved to the cart and began shelving the returns. The human began counting down to the end of the day, while the angel inside counted down to the moment she would see him. Noel could always lose herself in a good book, loved the slip of her fingers sliding over the heavy pages. The smell of an old book made her happy, that was probably why she volunteered in the vaults.
They were where they kept all the old volumes, scripts and gold edged amazing works. Just the smell of the room made her quiver with delight. A smile to her face she walked the spiral stone steps to what she fondly referred to as the dungeon. her sneakers barely made a sound as she travelled down flipping lights on as she went. Everyone else found the place scary, yet Noel had no problem with it. Her eyes followed the book shelves stacked high with books. The gold edged one she held in her arms had a special spot. Gliding the rolling ladder to the spot she needed she tucked the book away. Climbing back up the stairs he watched her. Had she turned around she’d have seen him, his favorite adored her and each time he tried to keep them apart. Nothing could stop them, or could it? As she turned to look over her shoulder one last time she smiled and flipped the last switch. He was a vapor by now, dissipating back into the depths of hell. He could look for Noah but knew he’d already be gone for her
