Chapter 1

Moving Day

APOV

My name is Angela Price. My friends call me Angel. First of all I understand my nickname is weird, but I oddly like it. I am 17 starting my senior year. We are currently living in San Francisco, California. Soon we will be moving to Forks, Washington. I don't even know why. My mother must have lost it this time. She keeps telling me that she'll tell us when we get there.

Lucy is my 15 year old sister. She is the most bubbiliest/excited girl you will ever meet. She can get really annoying sometimes, but others she's amazing. At the moment she is really mad. I glance over at my sister sitting on the other side of the couch sulking, and trying to act normal. She didn't want to leave her friends and home behind.

"Lucy, your going to make for friends," I say carefully. She turns away from the tv to face me. "I know, but I don't want to leave them!" She says beginning to cry again. I scoot towards her and put my arms around her. "Shhh, it's okay. You'll see them again, even if we have to fly across the world," I said reassuringly. she sniffed and blew her nose in a tissue. "Really?" She asked hopefully.

"Of coarse," I said soothingly. She was so vulnerable and sweet, that you would so anything to protect her from the world. I ruffled her golden blond hair. In the sunlight our hair seemed to glow. Lucy had golden blond hair so her's looked like a halo of light. My hair was a strange black. None the less it was beautiful, but in the light it reflected like a rainbow on colors like an opal.

"Your messing up my hair," She squealed pretending to looked shocked and upset. She was really good at acting. She burst into giggles at my unbelieving look I gave her. I got up and went to help mom start dinner, and Lucy followed. Mom came out from her bedroom and joined us. Lately she's been in her bedroom with the door locked. She still refused to tell us why.

I got out the ingredients for lasagna and started making it. Lucy sat in the chair at the table completely fascinated. She wasn't allowed to cook because when she was 13, she almost burned the house down trying to make cookies, twice. I smiled at her and sat down in the chair next to her. Mom sat in the last chair on the other side of the table.

"When we get to Forks I have to tell you some information that will change your lived forever." She said gravely. I glanced at Lacy to see she was just as confused as me "I can't tell you yet, but I will once we'll move I can tell you." She said sighing and got up and left. I looked at Lucy to see her staring at the chair mom was sitting at.

What was that? I thought. The stove dinged making me jump. I got up and got the lasagna out. I dished it out and set a plate infrount of Lucy, but she was still staring at the chair. I set my plate down and snapped my fingers infrount of her snapping her back to reality. "What would be so back that it could change our lives?" Lucy whispered.

"I don't really know," I responded. "It's probably nohing to important, don't worry," She started eatting and we finished up. I cleaned the dished and went upstaires to lay back on my bed. My room was half packed and ready to be taken away. I got up and finished packing my things. we were leaving tomarrow. School was starting this Monday again.

Summer was almost over. Time flys so fast when your having fun. I felt sad takeing down the millions of pictures of me and my friends. After everything was packed I took out a book I packed for my car ride bag. I got bored really easily. I soon lost myself in Jane Eyre and fell asleep. I was sucked into the weirdest dream.

I was running in the woods as fast as lightning trees were whipping past me as I sped past everything. I was nearing a cliff. i was screaming at myself no to jump, but I did. I didn't fall... I flew and glidded through the clouds loving the feeling of being free. I didn't know how I was doing until I looked behind me at to large beautiful white wings with brown flecks in them. I freaked out and fell to the ground.

I woke up in a start looking around my bedroom wildly. I reached behind me only to feel my back. I relaxed and layed back down. I took a few calming breaths reasurring myself that i didn't fall to my deth. I got up and went to take a quick shower. Afterwards I got dressed and started to take my boxes marked Angel, and took them to the frount door.

Everyone was still asleep so I decided to make some breakfast. Maybe I could butter mom up so she'll tell us what the heck she's talking about. I made pancakes,bacon,and eggs. Everyone shuffled towrds the smell of food like starved animals. I chuckled quietly. I put everything on the table and sat down to eat until mom spoke up. "Okay, what are you trying to do," she accused.

"Nothing, I just thought we should have one last special meal here," I said innocently. she seemed to buy it because she went back to eatting. It didn't look like she was going to crack anytime soon. I sighed mentally. I guess i'll just have to wait. I washed the dishes then packed them again. The movers were here and I let them in.

It took awhile, but we finally got everything out of the house. I went outside and jumped in the fimiliar seat of my old blue PG Cruiser. Lucy got in the passenger seat. Mom follwed us in her blue Keya and then led the way. The car ride was so long and boring that I thought I was going to die. It took the entire weekend, but we got there on Sunday afternoon.

I got out and jumped in circles. That was how awful the car ride was. Mom let the movers put everything in the house and pushed us back to her Keya. Not another car ride! I thought grouning. Mom drove for a few mintues before driving down a dirt road. There was a few pinice tables and a few trails leading into the woods.

Mom wordlessly led us outside and through the trees ignoring the path. We hiked forever before we came to a beautiful meadow. I looked around in awe and so did Lucy. Mom walked to the middle of it were there was bright sunlight. i was suprised because she never went in the direct sunlight without covering her skin. She said she was afarid of skin cancer. I didn't blame her.

She was glowing pretty brightly. It was like I could see her ora. It was so beautiful that I started to cry. She waved us over to her and as soon as we walked into the sun our hair was glowing and we were glowing softly too. The hair thing was normal, but the glowing thing isn't. Our mother sat and we did to.

"What I am about to tell you will indeed change your lives, and you can never go back," She said. We nodded for her to go on. "My mother and Father were both full blood angels. So were your fathers. We come froma very long line of angels." She said. I staired at her in utter disbelief. Did she really expect me to buy this. She was my mother though and I don't thing she was lying.

"That means that you are both full blooded angels." She said becomeing excited. "You have many different powers that will help you through eternety." "Like what!" Lucy exclamed. I was stunned into shock. "You have the power of air,water,fire,and life. You can shapeshift into any form. You are really strong and aren't easy to kill or harm. You can also read minds." She said. "It's hard to tell you everything you can do, but full blooded angels are very powerful.

Lucy was practically bouncing with joy. "Could I become a mermaid?" Lucy said. Mom laughed and responded. "Yes, I suppose you can. Everyday after school I will teach you about everything." She said. I finally recovered from my shock. "This is amazing!" I shouted. Just because i was 17 didn't mean i didn't thing it was amazing.

Mom was was bursting with joy from our reactions. "Before it gets dark, I want you to know how to summon your wings." She said jumping up. We also got up and watched her. "You need to visulize wings in your mind and they will come out," She said closing her eyes. After a second to amazing white wings sprouded out from her back.

I closed my eyes and visulized the wings i saw in my dream. They gracifully and painlessly asinded from my back. They were just like in my dreams. White with brown spots, like an owl. I ran my fingures over my wing and they were silky soft. "Thery're so pretty," i whispered. I looked over at Lacy's and they were a bright gold color. I smiled and touched hers.

"You can also change they're appearence." Mom said. Immediently her's were gourgeous blue butterfly wings. Lacy squealed with joy. I laughed and made mine transluenct gold fariy wings. "Visulizeing is the key to everything. try it with putting your wings away." Her's slid back into place. I easily did this and lacy did to.

That night I made dinner and we ate silently Lacy could barly contain her joy. "One more thing," mom said. "Be careful in gym because you are rally fast, and strong. Now that you know what you are your powers have awkened." She said seriously. We nodded and I started clearing the table. Later that night as i sat in bed I thought about today.

I coudln't believe my life turned into a new world. The only bad thing was that I didn't know what else was out there. If there are angels then there are demons. I got in bed and tried to have a few good dreams. Lucky me I drempt of soraing through the sky on a cloudless sky over the forests of Forks. Life was going to be my new best friend.
