The Chronicles of the Fallen
A/N: This story is written as a collaboration by both Xo BellaItalia oX and dramaqueen1917. We hope that you enjoy the story and look forward to reading your reviews.
Prologue
(Isabella's POV)
Forks, Washington
It is an insignificant miniscule town about three hours outside of Seattle. I have it on good authority that my mate is here living with a coven of golden-eyed vampires posing as a high school student. Just imagining my victorious blond haired warrior sitting in the back of a classroom surrounded by hormonal rowdy teenagers brings a humorous grin to my face.
My Lord, do I miss him.
Maybe I should back things up a little bit and explain what is going on and how things have become this way and I will start by stating the fact that not me nor my mate are human. We once were, but I cannot even begin to explain how long ago that was. We were alive even before Christ himself walked the earth and were favored by God and chosen to become a part of his realm when we died, therefore becoming one of his soldiers. But to many, we are called Angels.
Before I disclose our story and convey what happened to make us end up where we are today, I need to give you a little bit of information. Angels are not the stereotypical blond hair, blue eyed beauties that wear white gowns and golden halos in between white feathery wings. No, in fact when humans refer to the goodie-two-shoe little children as 'Angels', I can't help but to snort at the fact that a child like that could be compared to us. I mean think about it…if we were the conventional Angels, do you really think that we would be able to help God fight the demons with rainbows and sunshine's? No way! We are warriors and because we are the way that we are, we have been able to battle the evil forces against us and God and win!
Our appearances range from far more than just blond hair and blue eyes. We come in different races and ethnicities with different features except for our eyes. Yes, that is the one thing about our features that they got right aside from our massive white wings and glowing golden halo's. We dress in different arrangements of the same three colors, powder blue, a light shade of yellow and white. The humans were also correct when they spoke of our beauty and how no other living creature could match it.
One thing that they don't mention in the legends is that they are far brighter in color than any human's eyes. I guess you could say that they almost glow. Me? I have long mahogany thick loose curls that fall down to my rib cage along with my blue eyes that match the color of the sky on a sunny day with gold streaks surrounding the irises.
Also, our halos are not necessarily an object that levitates above our heads. They are actually a glowing light anomaly of sparkling particles that are not found anywhere on earth and are very important to any angel for a variety of different reasons. A. They freely allow us access in and out of the gates of Heaven. (Most importantly) B. They contain our life force.
Any Angel has a gift much like some of the other supernatural creatures do. Some can control one of the earth's elements, another can see into the past or maybe create electricity or perhaps they can see a creature's aura. But no gift is exactly the same. I am what is called a shield. I have a mental shield that can block all mental attacks from hurting myself or anyone that I choose to cover. I also have a physical shield that can block physical attacks from other creatures or gifts. Like my mental shield, I can cover just myself or anyone else that I choose. A funny thing about my physical shield is that I can wield it as a weapon as well. It will cut a limb clean off my attacker's body, or I can push it outwards so that it will slam into my enemy and send them flying. There are many possibilities of what I can mold it into and that is what makes my gift very valuable. It also plays a part in why I am such a valuable soldier.
Another thing that they don't mention is that we also have another form that allows us to walk amongst the humans. After all, don't you think that an inhumanly beautiful individual with a pair of gigantic white feathered wings would draw just a little bit of attention? So when we walk amongst the human species, our wings are cloaked so that they remain invisible, our halos disappear and our eyes dull to a natural looking shade. Our beauty still draws attention to us, but not the kind that would raise any suspicions. We agreed with the other supernatural creatures out there that we would keep their world a secret from the humans. We figured that it would be the right thing to do, not to mention that it would benefit all of us in the long run. The humans don't need to know about everything, especially the never ending war raging on between Heaven and Hell.
You're probably wondering what kind of evil forces we have to go up against. Well the first one is the most obvious and that is Lucifer or 'the devil'. He was once one of God's favorite Angel's, but then he began rebelling and turning some of the other Angel's against him. They had their own ideas of what the world should be like and wanted more all of the time. There was a battle and they lost resulting in God kicking Lucifer and his followers out of heaven and into the underworld otherwise known as Hell. His punishment for creating such turmoil was that he had to take care of the spirits who had done wrong during their life and were not permitted access into the Kingdom of Heaven. None of this sat well with Lucifer and he began to plot his revenge.
You see, Lucifer may have fallen into Hell, but his followers fell down to the earth and they are what are known as 'Fallen Angels' or 'The Fallen'. The six of them (including Lucifer) were the first to ever fall from Heaven and the first thing that Lucifer did was convince the other five of the Fallen to join him in Hell. From there, he morphed them into our nemesis. They are what are known as Incubus and Succubus; they're the strongest and most vicious of Lucifer's army.
Below them are the demons. Lucifer created them himself out of some of the most evil and vile of the spirits that were not permitted into Heaven.
Over the millennia and the centuries, Lucifer has been building his army up. His favorite and most effective way of doing that were collecting any Angels who fell from Heaven down to Earth knowing that they make the strongest and the fiercest Incubus or Succubus. He knows that there is no way that he could take over Heaven with only his creations. They are nowhere near as strong as Angels.
The way that you can tell the difference between any Angel and one of Lucifer's minions are that both the Incubus and Succubus have jet black wings instead of our white ones. They also have black eyes and dress in red, silver and black while in their true form and instead of halo's, they have a pair of sharp black horns on top of their heads. They have a form that they can shift into as well for traveling amongst the humans and it is the same as ours. The only way that you can even tell the difference is because of their scent and being around so long that it is just second nature to be able to pick one out in a crowd.
Now that I've told you some about of that, I think there is one thing that I should probably tell you. I am one of the Fallen. It is a long and very complicated story, but I will try to sum it up as best as I can.
First off, there are not many differences between Fallen Angels and God's Angels. We both have white wings and the same characteristics that make us Angels to begin with. The only real difference that is visible is our halos; God's Angels have halos made of glowing golden particles while the Fallen Angels have glowing silver particles. The glow around it is still golden, but the particles themselves are silver.
My mate's name is Major Jasper Andrew Whitlock and he was one of God's favorite Angels. He was strong, handsome and the best fighter that anyone has ever seen, unbeatable to anyone who would dare go against him. He is also empathic. He can feel and control the emotions of those around him, giving him a massive advantage to everyday life and during a battle. He is such an amazing man and he made me so happy every day of my existence.
But all of that changed in 1863 earth years when an Angel named Damien ruined our happy lives in Heaven. He was jealous of Jasper for many reasons. He was resentful of the relationship that he had with God. He hated the fact that he was so well-liked and respected amongst the rest of the Angels and he was completely envious of the fact that he was mated to me. He ended up cooking up a plot with Lucifer that had set Jasper up for treason therefore causing my Jasper to fall to earth and become one of the Fallen. I fought with all my might and heart for Jasper to anyone who would listen, only to be labeled as a coconspirator and fell to earth myself, but nowhere near where my Jasper had fallen.
I ended up searching the world for him, but had no luck what so ever. It was like he had disappeared from existence. I was crushed and depressed and it was killing me to be away from my mate for so long as it is now 2012. I couldn't understand why I haven't found him or why he hadn't found me. We had mated and marked each other and should have been able to always find the other, but since having fallen, I haven't been able to. Fortunately, my luck had changed a few weeks ago when I ran into a mated pair of human drinking vampires.
I was in the United States in northern Texas when I was passing through over a large ranch. I was met by the two vampires who had identified themselves as Peter and Charlotte Whitlock. The last name instantly set off something in my head and I attempted to ease my way into a series of questions when I was stopped by Peter who was grinning at me. He told me that he knew what I was and that I didn't have to dance around any topics with him and his mate. This didn't exactly ease my worries considering the fact that not many creatures know about my kind, especially vampires.
You see, their royal family – the Volturi – have a power complex and do not like the fact that they are not the most powerful beings so to keep order amongst their kind; they have not told any of their species that we exist. We didn't bother to press the issue, because we had our own problems and battles and didn't need to concern ourselves with how a bunch of vampires wanted to rule their kind.
Anyway, they said that Peter had a gift of sorts even though he wouldn't exactly call it that, rather a 'quirk'. Random bits and pieces of information come to him and tell him things that he will need to know for one reason or another. He knew what I was and why I was aimlessly searching the world and where I could find my mate.
I was speechless and shocked until he told me that he knew Jasper, where he was and what happened to him. I had assumed that he somehow knew him because of his last name, but nothing prepared me for what he had to tell me about my beloved.
In 1863 nearly right after my Jasper fell to earth, three female vampires had approached him. The leader, Maria, was in league with Lucifer and has a sexual relationship with an Incubus named Xavier. She knew all about both kinds of Angels from him and as per the agreement that Lucifer made with Damien, she was to bite him and could use him in her army as a gift for her loyalty.
It was then that everything began to make sense, but also sent a shudder to go throughout my body. One thing that many do not know is that if a vampire bites a Fallen Angel precisely in their jugular, they will change into a Hybrid. They will become a vampire in their earth form but that isn't the problem. They will lose their memory and with it all of the knowledge of Angels. They will remain trapped in their vampire form because they won't know how to change or even that they could. They will keep their gift or power as they would in any form and would make for a very strong vampire. The only way that they could get their memory back was if their mate (specifically) claimed them and bit over the bite that their sire had given them and inject them with their mating essence.
Peter and Charlotte went on to tell me about his time with Maria and how they became incorporated in his life and the Southern Vampire Wars. They went into detail about how the Major saved Charlottes life and helped the two of them escape Maria's army regardless of the punishment that he had no doubt gotten for letting them go. They explained how they had come back five years later for him and helped him escape himself only to leave them a year later to be on his own because of his depression from feeding from humans. I held back a growl when I learned of the future seeing vampire who found him in a diner in Philadelphia and talked him into coming with her to the Cullen's and becoming a 'vegetarian vampire'. I didn't like that part at all nor the part where they had talked about Jasper's sexual relationship with Maria either. I knew that I couldn't blame him because he didn't know that he had a mate, but it didn't hurt any less.
They finished their tale when they explained that he was now living in a small town called Forks in Washington State. Apparently they were going to be visiting him in a month or so. But me having waited as long as I have couldn't wait any longer and immediately headed towards the North West after thanking the profusely and telling them that I hope to see them again next month.
I had just entered the town of Forks when I see a police cruiser parked sideways in an empty parking lot with its driver's side door still wide open. Taking a deep breath in, I could smell a vampire leading into the sporting goods store with a broken window where the police cruiser was parked in front of.
I suddenly heard gun shots going off along with the chuckling of the vampire and knew that I couldn't ignore this and continue on my way without trying to help this brave human.
Sighing, I went inside and saw that the officer was fighting a losing battle and I knew that what this vampire was doing was wrong. By the way that he was acting, one would think that he was psychotic and just didn't care. This police man did not need to die today.
I ended up using my shield to slice and dice the vampire into pieces before pushing them outside to light on fire. There was no reason why any more damage had to happen to this obvious family owned store.
Upon burning the pieces, I was shocked to find that the officer had come to stand next to me as I watched the pieces burn and the purple smoke rise. I introduced himself to me as Charlie Swan and thanked me profusely for coming when I did and saving his life. Apparently he hadn't had time to call in for back up before he went inside thinking that he could handle it. He then proceeded to ask me my name and what was I doing in town since he didn't know who I was. The town was small enough for everyone to be able to spot an outsider easily enough. I told him that my name was Isabella Maria Whitlock and that I just wandered in and wasn't sure where I was heading.
He surprised me when he didn't ask any questions about what had just happened even though it was clear that he didn't know anything about the supernatural or he would have known not to bother firing his weapon. Instead, he offered me a place to stay and we could tell everyone that I was one of his daughters from his past marriage coming to live with him.
After thinking it over, I quickly decided that I would stay with him and that we would even change my last name to Swan and enroll me into school for my senior year. I figured that this would work out rather well since I didn't want to just thrust myself into Jasper's new life, but rather take things slowly since he doesn't remember who I am or who he is.
It has been about a week since I started staying with Charlie and I am getting ready to start my first day of school tomorrow at Forks High. I am dreading it, but know that it has to be this way at least for now if I want to get my mate back. I can only hope that things go according to plan.
A/N: So, what do you guys think? Yes, this is the story that is replacing 'The Demonic Princess' and I am writing it with my new coauthor dramaqueen1917. What do you think is going to happen during Isabella's first day at school and with the Cullen's?
The story is going to be different from a lot of the other kinds of supernatural stories out there and is definitely going to be a bit on the darker side with lots of ups and downs and twists and turns. Also, getting her mate back is only going to be the first part of their journey together! I'd love to hear what you think!
