- The Birth -

When you read a story there is a beginning, middle, and end. When it comes to Angel, she has many. You see, Angel has this nifty way of cheating death. It allows her to keep on coming back to life. Because of this she has been able to live a very long time. But before I get into that let's talk about her very first beginning. Yes, I did say her first beginning.

This story starts out with the day of Angel's birth. Her mother, Bianca Maxwell was just waking up after a peaceful night of rest.

"Ahhhh" Bianca screamed as she felt the first contractions. At the current time she is in the car on the way to the hospital. She has had many contractions so far and they have been getting worse than the last. When they had arrived at the hospital Bianca was taken straight to the Emergency Room. About ten hours later after she had given birth to Angel the doctor had came out of the room with a sad look on his face. "I'm sorry but we could not save her." the doctor said and Angel's father collapsed in tears.

" What happened to her?" Mr. Maxwell asked.

" Come into my office and I will explain." The doctor said.

As they walked into the office, Angel came by in those baby care machines that they have in hospitals. Mr. Maxwell started to cry again. The doctor waited patiently until he had stopped crying.

" First I would like to say sorry for your loss... Now about your wife. How she died is very strange. Your daughter had clawed her way out of her mothers stomach." Mr. Maxwell had this creeped out/ shocked look on his face. "Clawed her way out?" He asked looking very confused. The doctor nodded not understanding it himself.

A few short weeks later Angel Was released and her father took her home. Mr. Maxwell refused to let Angel be alone so he moved the baby crib from the baby room to his own. After Angel was put to sleep, he himself went to sleep after.

~~~~ The next day ~~~~

... BAM...

Mr. Maxwell fell out of bed. He was completely aware now. ' What the hell was that?' he thought. He wasn't sure wither it was a threat or not so he brought his baseball bat with him just in case. He cautiously headed down stairs. When he reached the bottom he started to hear voices.

"It's not a bad house." A woman's voice said.

"Could use some sprucing up if you ask me. " said a mans voice.

"I honestly don't care. " said another mans voice.

Mr. Maxwell was on high alert. What were they doing in his house and what did they want. He slowly crept through the hallway and when he got there he was shocked. It was one of Bianca's old friends, Phibe. She was supposed to be dead. Mr. Maxwell dropped the bat and the noise caused everyone to turn around.

"Terry?... Look I can explain. " Phibe said.

Terry wa still in surprised but had managed to ask, " How?"

"Well it's kinda a long story. One that you might want to sit down for. " Phibe said.

"Why would I need to sit down. Is the story that long? " Terry asked.

Phibe just shook her head and began with her story.

"It was about 5 years ago. Bianca and I with some close friends had decided to go hiking. We walked for hours on end until we had found the old Aztec pyramid. All of us got curious and went to go check it out. When we got to the top we all wanted to rest, which then lead us to unpack so we can crash on top of it. During the night we kept hearing a rustling sound. No one though anything of it until our friends started to missing."

"On top of the pyramid? " Terry asked.

"Yep. Anyway, I walked toward the center and fell inside because the floor had collapsed. Bianca had thought I died from the fall and ran, leaving everything behind to get away from whatever it was that was killing every one. After that the Earthans had found me because apparently they had been looking for the plants. At first I didn't know how I was saved.
Then I found out that their god had been able to put plants into anyone and that's how I was saved. She had taken me in and trained me. I now was what they called the guardian. They needed me to help raise Angel when the time had come but I didn't know it was going to be her. All I knew was that I was going to raise a stranger's baby."

"The classes they gave me were annoying and I hated them at first. But after a while I had started to like them. They had helped me better understand the task I was given. When they had thought I was ready they had put me through a series of tests. They basically consisted of me…. traveling. Then they give you The Black Folder. This is like an omega task. If you pass this it will decide it you get to actually do your original task you were trained for. Long story short I had passed. Then I came back to Earth and went I search of Bianca."

"Two years ago I found her. I explained to her what happened. She was surprised at first but then was really confused. She had kept wondering why it didn't affect her but did affect me. We had stayed in touch since then. A few days ago I had heard how she died. I instantly linked the child birth with the pyramid incident and came here as soon as possible. So here I am. "Phibe finished.

Terry was even more confused now.

Then he asked the one question she had hoped he wouldn't.

"What affected you but didn't affect her until she gave birth to Angel?"
