Doubt

He had spent the past week and a half watching her; not sure if he should take on the loud mouthed black angel’s offer or not. The little angel said that she was special and she mustn’t collect the demons because of the fate of the world or something like that. This was however, the first time he had followed her home from school and he was beginning to regret even contemplating going through with this outrageous mission that the angel had given him.
