A/N: This story has been in my mind for a long time but I haven't had time. But since my parents disbanded my Internet for the night, I've decided to write it finally. Hope you enjoy this because I didn't turn out as well as I was expecting.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the Twilight Saga. I DO own the new characters that I have brought into the story.
Also- this takes place after Breaking Dawn.
Enjoy.

Preface:
I, Isabella Marie Swan Cullen, never did believe in Angels from Heaven. I never actually believed in ghosts, spirits or any other mythical creature except for Vampires, Shape-shifters, and Werewolves. The Cullen's never spoke about any other mythical creatures or beings before, so I just presumed that none other existed in this world, Earth.
My life was full of Vampires and Shape-Shifters… but nothing else of the mythical world. What if the Cullen's are hiding something from me? Why would they do that anyways?
One day, I had a weird daydream about these… 'Angels'. There were many of them. They could produce song from out of nowhere, they could transform into an animal that suited their personality, and they had other special powers that I couldn't believe also. They were amazingly beautiful and cunning, and their voices were to die for. They were always joking and laughing together, they were always pulling pranks on one another. I also remember clearly, they were lighthearted; they didn't have a care in the world… they didn't care if their life was taken from them if they were doing a good dead.
Their wings. Oh, their wings were so beautiful it was… blinding. Not one of their wings matched another's wings, they were unique. Parts of their wings were different colors that seemed like they were glowing. It was so pretty.
Their halos weren't there though as I expected. Only a few had gained them but they could obviously hide them. The halos, as I'm guessing, were given to the high-ranking Angels only. But when one of their halos appeared, I was stunned.
There was a part in the daydream when I noticed that they were just like humans in a certain way. Besides their beauty, which was hard to tell them apart from a Vampire, they could walk into sunlight and just be human. They could hide their wings from the eyes of others so they could actually live. It was amazing how they acting so much like humans, when in reality, they were almost exactly like Vampires. Their speed, beauty, tastes, hearing, seeing, voices, and their wisdom was just like the Vampires I knew. At first I did believe they were just like me….
The daydream was so realistic it was unbelievable at first. When I snapped out of the daydream, I toke it as nothing, just a passing wish; a simple wish that there were other mythical creatures in the world. Nothing more then that reason at all.
Angels couldn't be real. Could they?
Normal wasn't a word I would use around the Cullen's. They were anything but normal to humans, but to us, this was a normal day. Alice forced me to go shopping with her while Renesmee and Jacob went to the park. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett were playing video games all day even though they've already won the games over a dozen times. Rosalie was working on all of the cars in the driveway. Carlisle and Esme were talking about unknown topics in the office upstairs.
Like I said, normal for us.
Later that night, when Jacob had to go home for a while, all us Cullen's gathered in the living room for some family time. Esme hadn't seen us all together in one place in a while and wanted to have some time with her 'children'. Carlisle, of course, thought I was a good idea. We had no other choice in the matter.
It was awfully quiet though. We had nothing to say to one another it seemed.
"It's too quiet." Edward whispered to himself. He was obviously reading my mind since I toke the barrier down.
"I agree." Carlisle said. "Pick a topic."
"Shopping." Alice said from the couch.
"Pick a topic, other than your hobbies." Esme added.
It was suddenly quiet again. I hated the silence because it gave me too much time to think. Like earlier this week, when I was walking trough the forest alone. It was quiet and I had a weird daydream. It was about 'Angels'… or something. It came from nowhere, I swear.
There was a longhaired brunette with glowing green eyes in front of her followers. Each one was different in their beauty and voices. They were running through the forest to get to a destination. Most of the followers had an accent that was noticeably Irish. They were from Ireland, I guess.
"How much longer sister?" Said the smaller brunette with the waist long braid.
"We're only in Illinois right now. We still have a ways to go until we even get close to Washington." The leader said.
"Planes are faster." Said one of the females with midnight black hair.
Nobody else said anything for a while.
They were then, obviously although I couldn't see it, surrounded by an enemy. Their leader and her many followers stood still until I could hear a song playing. They then jumped into the air and marvelous wings sprouted from their backs.
Each one of them then unraveled 2 ribbons from somewhere on their bodies. These ribbons turned into some kind of weapon when kissed lightly by their wielder. Each weapon was different, no one the same.
Their outfits began to change also. All the women had some kind of white dress while the men had some kind of white bottoms. Without me even knowing it, their hair had even gone white and into many different styles that I thought was impossible, even with hairspray. It was amazing to watch and it happened so fast.
"Time to fight for our purpose sisters and brothers." The leader said.
"Amen." Said the others.
They then ran at the unknown enemies that were invisible in my daydream.
They obviously weren't even siblings. Just a figure of speech they were using, I'm guessing.
"Our mission is to get to Washington before the end of the week, remember that." Said a blonde woman. "Make this fight quick and clean."
"Yes." Said the rest.
It was over in a matter of seconds and they had turned to their original forms.
"Forks, Washington." The said together and started to run again.
Then the dream ended.
I hadn't noticed that my mind barrier was still down until Edward said something. He was still reading my mind.
"You were daydreaming again?" He asked.
"It came out of nowhere." I shrugged. "I don't even know what it was about. The men and women seemed like Angels though. It was so realistic it was unreal. I actually thought somebody was coming here."
"Angels?" Alice and Jasper gasped in unison.
I turned to their surprised faces to see that they weren't as taken by surprise as I thought they would be.
"Tell us everything you saw, Bella." Alice said seriously.
"Okay?" I said nervously. She never asked much from me, even about the other daydreams I had.
I told the dream again out loud to the rest of my family. Nobody seemed surprised by the descriptions I gave about each person and how they changed. Why weren't they surprised?
"Bright green eyes, the leader, beautiful, speed, wings, the song, high-pitched voice… doesn't that sound like somebody to you?" Carlisle asked, more on a sarcastic tone.
"Nope." Emmett said and put his hands behind his head. "Never seen or heard anybody of that description, sorry Pops." He laughed.
Alice then stood up and pointed towards the phone. "The phone will ring in 5 seconds."
Right on cue, the phone rang. Esme walked towards the phone and passed it to Carlisle, who answered it.
"Hello?"
There was obviously a female on the other line.
"Carlisle, is that you?"
"Yes, I haven't heard from you in decades." Carlisle said.
"Yes, I know. I've been busy with… things." She paused for a moment. "Tomorrow is a good day for a ball game, wont it?"
Carlisle turned to Alice, who nodded. "Yes, the weather report is looking quite good actually. Do you intend to play?"
"Yes, I would never miss an opportunity to play ball with my favorite Vampires." The female laughed. "See ya then Carlisle. Oh, say hello to Alice and Jasper for me. I haven't kept in touch with them in a while." She then paused again. "And Edward's new mate. Tell her hello and I hope to meet her soon." The other end of the phone went dead.
"Will do." Carlisle muttered into the phone. He returned back to the couch and sighed.
"What is it?" Rosalie asked without concern.
"We have a baseball game planned for tomorrow guys. This time, we'll have some good competition. We might lose this match." Carlisle said with a smile.
Emmett then stood up. "No… their not coming here are they? Please tell me their not coming." He begged.
"Afraid so." Alice said from the other side of the room.
"But their WAY too hyper and talkative for their own good. They annoy the shit out of me just because they know they get on my nerves too!" He whined and plopped back into the couch. "Can't they go back to Ireland where they belong!"
"I'm totally not in this conversation, am I?" I asked with sarcasm coating my tone.
"Sorry, Bella. I forgot you don't know these folk." Carlisle said. "Their from Ireland and are visiting for a while. They wanted to meet you also while they are here. Their really friendly folk and can get along with almost everybody. You'll enjoy their company."
"Ireland?" I was surprised. The people in my dream had Irish accents. Were these the same people? That cant be. Angels aren't real. "Guys… are other mythical creatures… like witches and wizards and stuff… are they real also?"
They were quiet from my question and obviously didn't know how to answer it.
"Things in this world, you have to learn on your own, Bella. Things are too hard to explain most times." Jasper stated. "But Vampires, Shape-Shifters, and Werewolves aren't the only mythical creature alive. There are other species." He confirmed.
"So… the 'Angels' are coming to play baseball then?" I asked in an unusual serious tone for that type of question. "It reminds me of that movie… 'Angels in the Outfield'… or something." I whispered.
Nobody answered my previous question, so I toke that as a maybe. I still didn't think that Angels were real. They were probably Shape-Shifters with bird wings… or something like that. Angels aren't real. Right?
Then the phone rang again. This time Alice answered.
"Long time no talk." She laughed.
It was the same woman as before, I could tell.
"ALICE! Oh my gosh, I haven't talked to you in like… ages… literally!" She squealed. "Anyways, I was just calling to tell you that we're close now. We just entered Washington. Do you mind if I come over in an hour? I forgot to ask when I called the first time."
"No, I don't mind. Will it just be you who will stop by tonight?"
"Yes, my… friends have… something else they have to accomplish before the sun rises." The woman said nervously. "Well, I have to go now. Tata for now Sweetheart!" The phone went dead again after the other woman kissed the phone.
"She's so nice." Alice said and laid the phone back on the desk.
Why did she have to call just for that? We would tell if she were coming anyways. This… person… was going to be very hyper, cheerful, and friendly… I could tell just by her voice. I knew they weren't a threat to me and Renesmee or the Cullen's would have told them not to come. But the only thing that worried me now was… what were they?
"That woman, the one on the phone, what is she?" I asked. "Is she a Shape-Shifter?"
Alice giggled for a moment. "No, shes not a Shape-Shifter, Bella. Although, she does contain the ability to shape-shift."
"How does that work when shes not a Shape-Shifter?"
"Its just a special… ability… she has. Like I with Foreseeing, Edward with Mind Reading, Jasper with Emotions, Renesmee with planting her thoughts in your mind, and you with Shields. Its weird, I know." Alice answered my question.
"Oh." That was the only thing that came out of my mouth.
"I want to meet her!" Renesmee squealed. "Can she be a big wolfy like Jakey too?"
"Yes, she can turn into anything she has seen before." Alice laughed and picked the little half-Vampire, half-Human up.
It was really quiet after that for a while. Nothing happened and barely anybody moved much. This gave me time to think of course, and I didn't like it either. I was thinking about this woman and how she knew the Cullen's. She seemed to be good friends with Alice and Jasper specifically.
"Its odd." Esme said all of a sudden.
"What is?" Rosalie asked.
"Them… isn't it odd that they left Ireland? They never leave Ireland unless it's something important. You don't suppose their running from something, do you?" Esme asked.
"Yes, its odd… but I don't think that they're running from something. They're not the type of people to run from something. They take too much pride in standing up for what they believe in. it must be another reason." Carlisle thought out loud.
"And what ever reason that is, we're going to help them." Jasper added.
"Why do you care so much about them?" Emmett asked his younger 'brother'.
"Because, she was mine and Alice's first real… 'Friend' before we came to seek your Coven out. She helped us a lot and I'm in debt." Jasper admitted.
"Aww, how cute." Rosalie spat.
Everybody, but Emmett, gave her a menacing glare. For another hour and hour, nobody said much. Renesmee ran around a bit, Alice went into a few visions, Emmett turned the TV on, and I sat there combing my fingers through Edward's bronze hair.
Alice stood up with a huge smile plastered to her pale face. "5… 4… 3… 2…1… 0!"
Then right on cue, I heard light footstep approaching the front door. The doorbell rang once and the door flung open.
"Hiya, Cullen's! Miss me?!"
