Katherina sat in the clearing, arms wrapped around her knees as she peered up at the starlit sky, thoughts lost in the memories of the home she would never see again. She took deep breaths, taking in the sweet odd smell that she was still not accustomed to. 17 years on this earth and she was still getting used to the smells and sights. The sights that she had only seen from afar. She remembered those peaceful days...quiet nights peering down at the earth and its people, living their small, short lives...reveling in how much she adored heaven..being an angel..despite the responsibilities that were bestowed upon her...despite the freedoms that humans were granted...she never wanted to be a part of the tragedies human experienced..never wanted to witness the sorrow of death...the pain of murder, robbery, rape...she had seen enough of it from above. She spent almost three hundred years proving herself to be one of the best underling angels...growing close and trustworthy to the elites..or archs. She was loved and trusted by all of her family..the other angels, and she never wanted anything more.

Shades made his way through the thick trees, thanking the canopy of trees that protected his sensitive eyes from the harsh rays of failing sunlight. He removed his goggles, his savior that kept his sensitive eyesight protected from the enemy that was the sun. He breathed in the sweet night air as his thoughts drifted to Ennio..his master of sorts and trusted friend. He enjoyed the peacefulness as his silver eyes zoomed in on his surroundings..he couldn't forget that he was on a mission. Ennio had instructed him to scout out the surroundings..that is the only reason he was here..of all places..this rainy little town of Forks. He found it revolting...the town chock full of annoying humans and other creatures that always tended to complicate things. This park, at least was quiet and void of those annoyances. He stopped suddenly, catching the vague scent of something strange...a new presence he hadn't noticed before. He immediately tensed, clenching his fists and calling upon his power, cloaking his fists in semi solid balls of shadow. He stepped forward through the trees, almost eager to take out his frustration on an easy target.
