#Chapter2

/"You know people could mistake you for having bipolar disorder,/" Eva said as she sat up in a tree staring down at Ava.

I raised a brow. /"Why would someone think that?/"

/"Well.../" She said as she hung upside down from the tree branch.

/"When we have a mission to do your personality and demeanor becomes cold and soulless and you got that 'I don't give a shit about anything' attitude. But on a normal day you're all happy and annoying and stuff,/" She said as she swung back and forth.

Evangeline was my fraternal twin sister from our mortal days on Earth to now as we are Angels, that was all we were ever truly allowed to know of our past mortals lives and even then that was pushing it. We are Angels, the children of the Moon Goddess who aid in her wishes and commands and play out our assigned roles in her divine world.

Every Angel had a role they were responsible for, whether it were to guard the Divine Moon Goddess herself, protect humans or werewolves, guard the Underworld or the gates of Sanctity but in this case mine was to assassinate.

Sometimes the Moon Goddess's creations were morally unfit to continue living in her mortal realm and I amongst may others were given the responsibility of releasing their souls so that they may go through judgement.

I assassinate bad people.

Amongst us there were 5 assassin Angels and I was the highest rank of them all, that's how I got my black wings. I was trained to kill with no mercy and harbor no hate in my heart.

/"Ava! Eve!/" We both heard a scream. I stood up and brushed the dirt off myself as Eva jumped out of the tree as we rushed to the sound if the scream.

There, crouched a small red head in the bushes with extremely pale skin and beautiful green eyes.

/"Elizabeth what are you doing?/" I hissed.

All of a sudden there came a large growl from behind me as both Eva and I froze. We slowly turned around and was greeted by a gray rogue wolf baring its canines at us, ready to pounce on us at any moment. I stepped forward as I held my hands up, trying to show that I was not a threat.

/"Rogue we mean no trouble, turn back to where you came from and we won't harm you,/" I warned.

It stamped its paw into the ground with aggravation dancing in its eyes as it growled and began charging at us. In a flash I pulled my knife out of my boot and watched as it grew into a full sword just as the wolf pounced on top of me, plunging itself onto my sword as it pierced its heart. I laid there with a now bleeding wolf on top of me with a sword plunged into its heart.

Not something I was a fan of.

I pushed the lifeless beast off me and dusted my self off, getting up from the ground.

Avangeline, are you alright?/" Eva asked as she stood next to me.

/"Don't ever call me that, but yes I am fine,/" I slightly hissed as I minimized my sword and stuff it back into my boot, hidden from anyone's gaze except my own.

I trudged back over to the bushes where I plucked out the small redhead and held her in my arms as we made our way back to the camp site.

/"I told you to stay near the camp,/" I scowled her.

/"I'm sorry Ava,/" She said as she buried her face into the pit of my shoulder and I smiled, I just couldn't find it in me to stay mad at her. She was just too adorable.

Elizabeth was the same stolen child I saved from that pack 6 months ago, she was a small baby at the time but due to vampire genes and their rapid growth through a certain time period she was now about 7 in human years.

Once we reached the campsite I noticed Eve standing in the middle of the clearing as she looked up into the sky, her pupils glittering a beautiful gold as she continued to stare up at the sun, a slight tear shedding from her eyes. This was the way our Divine Moon Goddess chose to communicate with us Angels, speaking through our minds and appearing as an image we deep desired. That was one of the ultimate powers of the Divine herself.

Eve lowered her head as she blinked multiple times, her eyes slowly reverting back to their original color as she looked over as me and beckoned for me to come closer.

/"The Moon Goddess has granted a mission for us but it's too dangerous for the child to tag along,/" She said as she motioned towards the child, Elizabeth.

/"Then we can just take her to the white wolves, no big deal,/" I said nonchalantly as I shrugged my shoulders.

/"Our mission starts there anyway,/" Was all she said before her large silky white wings painfully sprouted from out of her back and she took off flying into the sky.

I sighed.

I looked up into the sky and noticed it was a dark and cloudy day which meant not as many of the sun's harmful rays shone through the clouds so I could carry Elizabeth without such a big fear that she could get burned. I felt the bones inside of my body twisting and arranging painfully throughout my back, a pain that no longer fazes me and sure enough my pure midnight black sprouted from my skin as I ruffled them in satisfaction, the shine from each feather reflecting from the very little light poking through the clouds. Amongst all the ranked assassin Angels, my wings were the biggest due to my status. To other known mythical creatures I was only a legend that people whispered about, I was an idol only the most powerful dreamed to meet.

I grabbed a hold of Elizabeth as I held her in my arms tightly, securing her so she wouldn't fall.

/"Hold on little one,/" I said calmly before taking off into the sky.

It felt so freeing, having the wind blowing into my curly jet black hair, to zoom past the green tree tops and to just have the entire world right under you. Flying always made me feel free like there were no worries in the world.

I looked down at Elizabeth to make sure she was alright in my arms, I made sure to fly below the clouds so they could shield her from the sun's harmful rays. By foot it would have taken about a day to get to the white wolves pack from where we were temporarily located but by flying it would simply take a couple hours.

/"Who is the target?/" I asked Eve as I flew up right next to her.

/"There is an Alpha in the northern region who managed to capture a white wolf and he plans to use dark magic to take her rare wolf spirit and use it as his own,/" She shouted as the wind began pounding into our ears from our speed.

I shook my head, trying to imagine what malicious Alpha would do such a thing to his own kind?

A monster that needed to be destroyed.

/"Which Alpha is it?/" I asked.

/"Alpha Jason,/"
