          The wind blows and I black out. Something knocked me out cold. When I wake up, I am in an unknown room. All I remember is falling from the sky. I have this huge headache and I can't remember anything.
                   "Where am I? Who am I?" I say to myself. 
                   "You are Emily. You are fifteen years old and you died when you were only five years old. When you were sent to heaven, you showed great skills in power and knowledge more than any other kid your age, so you were put in a special program," an unknown voice says from the shadows that make me jump.
                   "What am I?"
                   "You are what humans call a fallen angel. An angel stripped of their wings and banned from heaven," says the unknown voice.
                   "An angel?" I ask confused and scared.
                   "Yes. Well, not anymore. You still have some of your powers, but you are no longer a true angel. Fallen angels get to live another life on earth," the voice says. 
I couldn't process what I was hearing, but I put it aside.
                   "If I was such a good student, why was I kicked out?" I ask.
                   "You went against Heaven's number one law. You befriended and fell in love with a boy from Hell," the voice says, who I now realize is a girl.
                   "What happened to the boy?" I ask.
                   "That is for the Devil to decide. Mark was either locked up, killed, same punishment as you, or the Devil gave him one more chance to prove himself that he is loyal to him," the girl says.
I look down and try to remember the boy.
                     "How do you know these things?" I ask.
The girl steps in the light. She was tall, around her mid 20's, maybe 26. She had long strawberry blond hair that smelled like an assortment of fruits.
                     "I know this because I was sent here to make sure you got here safely," she says.
                     "Who are you?" I ask.
                     "I'm Summer, a guardian angel. Sent from the heavens to watch and protect all fallen angels. I did a little extra to get you settled in here on earth. Follow me," Summer says.
I follow silently. 
          We pass several buildings before stopping at a house. Summer unlocks the door and I walk in. Something about the house felt right to me. I stop and look around.
                      "This house is the exact same one you lived in before you died, and all the things in this house is from your house in heaven. I pulled a little strings to do this" Summer says. "I'm not really allowed to do this either, but I'm going to give your memories back, including the ones before you died. Close your eyes."
I close my eyes and feel a hand be put on my head. I black out and memories surge through my mind like a raging river.
           When I wake up, I am alone. There is a note from Summer saying 'I leave you with your memories. By now you should know how to summon me if you need me. Since you are only 15, I'm giving you a chance of education. You now attend a private high school called Nature Academy.' I set the note down and walk to the kitchen. I finally find something good.
