A/N: Sorry that took so long. Um...this is long, really long. So, um, the only words left for me to say are...Enjoy this chapter! What are you waiting for? Read on!
Chapter Four: Strange Dreams
Angel's P.O.V.
What is Mom hiding? Why did she need a cover up? Who was that man and why did he say that I looked a lot like him? All these questions ran through my mind and if I wanted to pin them down with words, they would just slip out of my grasp.
All these questions are causing me a migraine. I'll deal with this in the morning. I heard the tiny, annoying voice that's always right tell me, "You don't have to deal with anything in the morning and you know it! You're just trying to find out a little information and by doing that...you're being nosy! Nosy! Nosy! Nosy little girl!" I tried to ignore the voice, but it didn't want to stop bugging me. "Nosy! Stop being a nosy girl! Best not be nosy! All the people that were nosy had to pay their consequences."
"But don't I deserve to know the truth?" I asked the voice back.
"You're too young to handle the truth!"
"Stop scolding me!"
"Don't yell at me! I'm always right so don't even try to argue with me!"
"Make me!"
"Go to bed!"
"You aren't my mom!"
"Do NOT argue with me! I am always right!"
"Not always-"
"Please go to sleep. Please? I work hard too, you know? I don't get paid-not that I need to get paid, but still- for all the work I do for you."
"Name them!"
"Okay, let's see: I tell you right from wrong and I...I tell you to...to-"
"You only advise me so can you please stop bothering me? Can I at least get some sleep?"
"I'll be happy to let you sleep...in peace."
"Thank you!"

(Still Angel's P.O.V.)
I don't believe how annoying that voice gets! I hope I didn't shape it like that. That would be scary..."Ahhhh!"
"Do not be alarmed, child!"
"Shouldn't I be alarmed?"
"No."
"May I ask you one question?"
"Go ahead, child."
"Can you please stop calling me 'child'? Who are you? And what are you doing here?"
"You asked to ask one question."
"Yeah, I know, but-"
"No 'buts'."
"You're like my mum."
"Am I?"
"Uh-huh."
"Well, I should get down to business. Where do I start?"
"I don't know. You should be the one to know, shouldn't you?"
"I was asking myself."
"I sort of figured, but can you at least tell me your name?"
"No."
"Mean!"
"Stop acting so childish! Oh wait, I forgot...you are a child!"
"Not fair!"
"Not everything in life is fair! And it would be wise to keep that in mind!"
"Why's that?"
"I hear you got accepted into-"
"Have you been watching over me?"
"No, I just know."
"You could tell me."
"You will learn our secret, identities, and what we are doing on Earth-"
"When?"
"Every night, but I must warn you that you will face challenges-"
"Challenges? As in c-h-a-l-l-e-n-g-e-s?"
"Yes, and I am very proud that you spelled 'challenges'. I never thought that you had it in you."
"Okay...I'm calm. Every night, I will face challenges...not bad."
"You're taking this better than I thought you would."
"Hold on. If I get hurt during the challenge, like let's say I get a cut, right? I won't have a cut when I wake up, right?"
"Oh, yes. I forgot to mention that to you. As a matter of fact, you will have a cut."
"No! I quit!"
"I see that you definitely didn't inherit your mother's braveness."
"Huh? Mum's brave?"
"Of course she is! Why do you think she was sorted in Griffindor?"
"Because she just was."
"Poor child. Don't know a thing about your mum, do you?"
"Um, let's just get back to the challenge thingy. You will give me a clue, right?"
"You see, child, different people will give you clues."
"Okay."
"So starting the night you enter Hogwarts, the clues and challenges will come to you-"
"In reality or dreams?"
"The dream world, my dear."
"And all the same time I'm learning who you people are?"
"Yes."
"I'm not catching on."
"You will."
"Okay. Uh...can I get some sleep?"
"Sure."
"Good-night."
"Good-night, dear. You're going to need it for what we have in store for you. Let's just hope mummy won't miss you too much. I highly doubt you'll live through the first challenge."
