       I write this journal to inform others of things not known to be possible. Things that were thought fantasy, fiction, insane. My name is Elizabeth,  I am fourteen years old, and that is all I really know. When I was six, my memories were ereased. If you work for Him, you know what I'm talking about. For those who don't know, read this journal, it might be my last words recored.

           I drove down the street, trying to avoid the patrol cars, as I turned on the radio to a song I liked. My guardian was drunk and passed out, and never let's me pick a song, and I hated his music choices. I sang along to Linkin Park's "Numb" , pulling into our middle-of-nowhere, dirt driveway, when my phone vibrated. "Hello?" I spoke quietly, trying not to wake Jasper.

"Hey Liz!" my close friend, Isais, said.

"Hey man, I'll be there in a couple of minutes"

"Okay, but hurry, Stephan isn't too happy"

        I ended the phone call, and half dragged, half carried Jasper into the living room. I quickly grabbed my black cloak and startedto the mountainside. I lived a mile and a half away from it, so it didn't take me long. As I walked up, I saw five figures. I knew this was my team automatically.

        In the front was Stephan, a tall and burly sixteen year old, who I didn't really get along with. Isais, next to him, was a kind and caring Native fourteen year old. They were both dark skinned, and had straight black hair. Isabella, a small, red-brown head thirteen year old, would have been popular if she wasn't so shy, was in the back with Rocky. Rocky was a shy and polite red-head, and was very quiet. Robert, a skinny fifteen year old with black hair, was standing on a rock singing "Betty and the Jets" at the top of his lungs.

        I  tried to push to the back with Isabella and Rocky, but I was stopped by Stephan's hand. "You're late again" he said, in a low, angry tone.

"I had to take care of my cover"

"You know the rules, Elizabeth"

"I also know that my cover is more important"

"Do not talk back to your leader"

I stood up straighter, and pushed toward the back, almost hitting Isabella. As I settled down I listened to what the mission for tonight was.

        "Tonight, we are hunting an angel, a newborn, named Codeth. We need to be quick, unlike last night" with this, Stephan gave me a glare, then started to hand out our powerments. He gave Rocky his ring, Isabella her hair clip, Robert his earring, Isais his chain necklace, and my bracelet. He soon put on his, a leather arm bracelet.

         I soon felt stronger, faster, and more alert. I felt my shape shifting powers come back, and I felt more... alive! I could see everyone was the same, feeeling powered. "Alright everyone, let's move out" Stephan said, changing into a hawk. We all changed, one by one, into different animals. I slowly changed into a big wolf, and ran with the others.

I didn't really want to go, but Stephan commanded, and Stephan was the leader, the Leader of the Shadows. A group of warriors andassassin's picked and chosen to kill God's Angels. We were all chosen. 

I wish I could have stopped tonight.
