A/N: I don't own main characters. They belong to the wonderful Stephanie Meyer.
When writing this, I pictured Edward played by Stephen Amell so that's the image I see when I close my eyes. Bella kinda looks like Ruby Rose and just as Bad ass.
I fixed some inconsistencies and some grammar errors. The previous posting was not edited this is still not completely edited but i will fix those as i come across it. I hope to get back to writing this lovely little dream again soon.
Summary: Bella is a warrior princess of an ancient race that we call Angels but they aren't the biblical angels we think off when we hear angels. Their race ya been around long before humans came into existence. They flew around the skies and lived in the trees until humans came about. They age slower than humans and live to be thousands of years. They are divided between the good and the evil. The good have colorful wings. The evil have black or red wings that look like their molting. They can make their wings invisible for sake of humans. They usually come into their powers at 18yrs old. Edward and his group are like Bella but she doesn't realize it. Once she comes of age she realizes her names had been changed when she was sent away to protect her. Her parents think she is the princess that will fulfill the ancient prophecy to restore the balance between good and evil.
Chapter 1
We ran, leaving everything behind. Royal families sent their kids away separating them thinking they was hiding them from the dark ones. They was scared that their sons or daughters would be the princess and prince spoke of in the prophecy. I was sent away with Gerald, my fathers most trusted General. I wasn't even able to talk yet. I was raised in secrecy and solitude. We moved frequently and I barely had time to make friends. I was trained in various battle techniques as soon as I was able to start walking. Here I am walking into the hundredth school I've been to in my short lifetime. This would be my last as it was my senior year. I was always told to look out for the dark ones but this town and this school was suppose to be safe, per Gerald. We bought a small diner when we moved here at the start of the summer. I knew I was different than most of the people around me but looking at me you couldn't tell it. See here's the low down on my kind.
Royals have colorful wings and a power.
Non royals had off white wings and no powers.
Our wings are invisible to those not of our race. The dark ones have black or red wings that look sickly and no powers.
We can be swayed to good from bad and vice versa. We can also convert humans to our kind but only out of love and a slow transfer of blood.
The first 18 years of our lives we age like humans, quickly, which helps us blend in after that we age much slower.
We have been fighting a battle for almost as long as the human race has existed, which brings in the prophecy.
Prophecy foretells of a princess born that will be more powerful than any of our kind with wings of many colors and her prince of tides that will defeat the darkest one and restore the balance between good and evil. The darkest one has been looking for said child since the prophecy came about. Our powers are determined by genetics. It's all completely random. I myself would love to be an Oracle. How awesome would it be to turn 18 and all our peoples stories instantly available to you in your memory, even the ones not told to you as you was growing up. Different kingdoms have slightly different stories because their history is slightly different the only one that is completely the same across the many kingdoms is the prophecy and it's slightly incomplete from what most of us gather.
I don't even really know my real full name. It was changed when I was sent away. Gerald tells me my father was a very kind and friendly ruler with the power of strategy and my mother was gentle and kind and had the power of healing (she was a doctor).
Anyways back to my senior year of high school. I wanted to be homeschooled but Gerald wouldn't do it. Hide in plain sight until we hit my eighteenth birthday. Which was still a year away.
I took a deep breath tucked my phone back into the side pocket of my backpack along with my headphones.
"I could go in with you and sign you in if you want kid."
"It's all good Gerald. I got this. "
I pulled open the door and walked to the office.
"Aeryn Mccallister. It's my first day here. Ever. "
Welcome to Crystal Falls high school. Here's your packet, the brown envelope is for your parents to fill out and the blue envelope is your schedule, locker combination, lunch number and your student planner handbook thingy. Oh hey Alice can you show Aeryn around please?"
"Sure my pleasure. Hi I'm Alice. Nice to meet you. We are going to be great friends"
"No offense but I'm not really a friend making person."
"Nonsense. Oh hey we have first period together. "
We walked down the hall in silence. The school was a really nice school. You could tell the area was made of money. If I hadn't known any better I would have swore it was a private school for the elite but yeah anyways. It was well after 8am so first period had already started, so when we walked in almost every head turned to the door. Something felt weird about the class almost like an electrical charge that only I could fee. I looked around to see if I could see anything off but nothing seemed like it was out of place.
"Everyone welcome Aeryn. Today is her first day. You can sit next to Edward."
I let my eyes follow his finger and was met with the greenest eyes I've ever seen and groaned internally. I was going to have to sit next to the "It" guy at the school. You know the most popular guy, the ladies man, the one the head cheerleader will cut you over, the one that knows he's hot and uses it to his advantage. I looked around and there was no where else to sit. I looked at Alice and she mouthed assigned seats. Ugh great. This was math class so it was going to be a long year. Once we started with the class work I realized that I had did this math over summer break while tutoring with Gerald. Never a real break when it came to life on the run. Alice showed me around until lunch when I realized that I could find things easier on my own. I found a picnic table outside and sat down and stuck my earphones in. I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked up.
"Stay away from Edward."
"Excuse me?"
"Edward is mine."
"Go away Laurel! Leave Aeryn alone. Besides Edward isn't yours. You threw him away to sleep with the whole football team remember?"
"Shut up Alice, why don't you and Jasper go hack the school computer and change my grades."
"Laurel leave everyone alone. Go to your table." Edward ordered
I look up and Edward, Alice and three other people have sat down at my table and filled it up.
"What is this? Did I sit at the wrong table or something?" I asked irritated
"Nope. We just wanted to make sure you had friends." Alice stated as she introduced me to the rest of the group. Her boyfriend Jasper and their friends Rose and Emmett. .
"I told you Alice, I don't want friends. " I grumbled.
"Well it's still nice to meet you. And if Alice says your going to be friends that's the end of it. Can't stop her you know. Might as well accept it." Emmett laughed.
I groaned and stood up, grabbed my lunch and threw it away and took a walk around the courtyard. I couldn't help but notice that same electrical charge that I felt in math class when they all sat down. This was going to be a long year.
"Hey hey wait up." I turned to see Alice's boyfriend Jasper.
"What's up?"
"Why did you wait til school had been going on for about a month before you started?" He asked.
"I had something to take care of" I lied. Truth was Gerald had to force me to go to school. I didn't want to go. I didn't need to go. I needed to train in case I was the princess in the prophecy.
"Like what?"
"Wait for my paperwork from my old school"
"Oh. Well welcome. We are glad you're here."
Over the next few months they kept on trying to be my friend and I kept trying to run them off. They was all persistent though. Laurel kept being mean. I was already wishing school was over for the year.
