Chapter Sixteen

Marie

Marie's blood was boiling in her veins, she was ready. Last night, she and her mom talked to her dad about Marie leaving. They told him she was going to stay with her Uncle Josh for the summer. Marie told him that he was sick and she wanted to go help out. He was uneasy about her leaving school early, but Marie's mom was very persuasive.

​After that, they talked all night when her dad went to bed. Marie had so much energy and she hadn't felt this good in years. She still required some sleep, but her mom said that would soon pass once she got the human side of her under control. But everything else was working just fine.

​Her vision was so clear, it was ridiculous. Looking into the mirror gave her a whole other feeling. She was amazed by the change. If only the people at school could see her now. Destiny would probably freak.

​She was taller, if that was even possible, her hair grew and was inches from her bottom. Her eyes were so light, they looked burnt orange. She was gorgeous.

​She was leaving now to train and she couldn't wait. Her and Brenton were first traveling to Whitehouse, Texas, and they would then have to map out from there how to gather the others.

​This was the first time she would be traveling without her family and it made her feel mature and, at the same time, a little nervous.

​Apparently, her Uncle Josh was her mentor. All this time, she hadn't known that he was an angel. She also found out that he wasn't really her uncle, he was her mom's angelic other half. They had just told her he was her uncle to make it easier for him to be around without having to explain. It made sense, because there was no family resemblance.

​She sensed Brenton approaching. Her mom felt it, too.

​“Promise me you will stay safe,” she said in her mind.

​A single tear rolled down Marie's face, “I pinky promise,” she thought back to her.

​Her mom pulled her into a hug. They held for a minute until Brenton appeared through a shadow on the wall.

​“It's time,” he said.

​Marie let go, grabbed her backpack and slung it over her shoulder. Marie's mom wiped the tears from her eyes and faced Brenton.

​“I'm putting her in your hands. I know you are capable of keeping her safe. If anything goes wrong or you need my help in any way, you call me. Don't try and do this by yourselves. You need to remember that fighting together is your greatest defense,” she said.

​“Yes ma'am, I promise. If it comes down to a choice of saving her life or mine, it will be her life every time,” Brenton answered.

​She kissed him on the forehead, “Thank you,” she said and turned toward Marie. “Do not lose that cellphone just in case we can't communicate mentally. If I call and you don't answer, I will come find you. And if you're not hurt when I find you, I promise you, you're gonna be,” she smiled.
