AN: Here's another chapter! Please review. I really like writing this story for some reason. More than my other stories, so I hope you like it too!

I arrived in front of Cameron's house after days of watching soles walk into the in between world. Some were ok with being dead, and some weren't. Many were also relied on Lucifer. Many loved God. I stayed there to just think about what I should do about Cameron. I honestly did not know what to do, so I decided to just deny him completely. I dressed nicely in a sky blue, strapless, floor-length ball gown with taffeta material and a rouched bodice. There was a slit up the side to my hip that was replaced by sky blue, layered ruffles. I wore silk, sky blue, elbow length gloves and a silver bracelet.

I decided to come earlier and I stood at the gate with my horse Ava for about an hour. Ava is a gorgeous black horse with a shimmery coat and a long, beautiful mane. She came to me when I arrived in a field after coming back from the in between world. She took me here and I stood at the gate petting her until I decided to go in. Now, I cannot pull myself into knocking on the door.

I lifted my gloved hand and was ready to knock on the door, but when I grabbed the knocker, I noticed the odd design. It looked like an angel at first, but then I realized that the wings looked more evil and the angel looked like what humans would say looked like a demon or the devil. It even had the horns. I pulled my hand away and looked around the large mansion even more. There were gargoyles on every edge of the house. Goose bumps started rising on the back of my neck. Everything in me was telling me that this was a bad sign. I turned away for a second and then stopped. I am getting freaked out by a stupid door knocker and gargoyles which are simple English design.

I turned back around looked at the demon door knocker again. I leaned in to observe the door knocker even more. It looked normal except for the eyes of the demon were emeralds. They looked exactly like Cameron's! Ok, I took a breath and relaxed myself. Old stuff just creeps me out. That's all. I overcame my fear of the devil. I have had bad dreams for as long as I can remember. I grabbed the knocker and felt it with my gloved hand. I could feel how cold and bumpy it was through my glove. I knocked slowly, but it was enough to be heard.

I stood there awkwardly for a minute before I realized that nobody was home. I turned around sadly and walked away from the house.

"Elizabeth?" Cameron answered the door and I turned around. I sucked in a breath when I saw him. He was even more beautiful without the mask on. He looked at me and smirked. I smiled and walked over to him.

"Hello," I said nervously. He held out his arm and I took it carefully. "This house is exquisite!"

"I designed it myself," He pulled me inside his mansion and I gasped. The inside was more elegant than the outside. The walls were hung with paintings and the furniture was just gorgeous.

"Wow," I said, looking around, "You have a huge home." I smiled and he led me over to a maroon plush sofa. He sat me down and he fallowed.

"You are amazing," He brushed a hair out of my face and I sucked in a nervous breath. Everything about him made me nervous. A flash of warning went through my head. Angel senses told me he was bad news, but it might have just been from me liking a human. Me liking a human... Not good. I put that thought out of myself. The Lord didn't say anything about me not being with a human. It helps me blend in with their world.

"Elizabeth?" I looked up at Cameron blinking rapidly.

"Sorry," I sucked in a huge breath, "I was lost in my thoughts."

"I was just speaking about how I would like to know about you," Cameron smiled. He was holding my hands and I realized his palms were really hot.

"Oh," I shook my head to stop thinking bad thoughts about Cameron, "My parents have always kept me cooped up in my home where I had to do my own studies and I couldn't visit. I reached the age of seventeen and suddenly they let me do what I wanted. I got invited to the masquerade and my parents were delighted. Apparently they wanted me to meet the man they wanted me to marry."

"Well," Cameron laughed, "That is not me because I have not met your parents and they probably do not know who I am."

"Yeah," I sighed sadly, "But they want it to be my choice and I am not even planning on being married any time soon. I want to actually love the person. I do not want to marry someone that my mother and father think is good for me."

"Do you know his name?"

"Gabriel," I said with a slight edge to my voice.

"I do not know a Gabriel," Cameron said. His mouth formed into a thin line as he started falling into deep thought. Suddenly he pulled me into a deep kiss. I fought for a moment and then gave up, melting into his soft lips. They moved with mine and suddenly I was lying on the couch with him on top of me. His tongue slipped into my mouth and suddenly his hands on my face started getting really hot. I pulled away abruptly.

Breathing heavily, I gasped, "Cameron, your hands were really hot."

"What?" He raised his eyebrows, "I think you were imagining it. We were in the heat of the moment." He kissed me again and I pulled away.

"My parents would not appreciate me doing this," I said standing up. I half lied, "I am sorry."

"Elizabeth please sit back down," Cameron begged, "I got carried away." I looked over my shoulder to Cameron.

"I need to go," I whispered and started to walk away. Before I knew it, I was turned around and my hands were pinned to the wall. Cameron's face was inches from mine and my heart was beating rapidly.

"Please," He begged again and I almost hyperventilated. I finally admitted it to myself. I was extremely attracted to Cameron. But he does not know what could happen. It would be the exact same situation as Daniel. Cameron pressed his lips to mine and I used my actual strength and pulled away. Shock crossed his face as I ran out of the house. I jumped on my horse quickly and galloped away.

After hours of winding paths, I saw Gabriel in the middle of the road. I basically jumped off of Ava when I saw him. Ava stopped and the smiling Gabriel helped me down. I then hugged him tightly and his arms around me have never felt as good before.

"Oh my gosh, Gabriel," I gushed, "I have never missed you so much before in my life!"

"Well, a month away from me can do that to you," He laughed. My eyes widened. A month? It only felt like a few days in the in between and Cameron seemed fine and not upset at all when I came back. But I have heard before that you can just be completely dissolved in the in between and lose track of time. That must have been what happened to me. I kissed Gabriel on the cheek and we talked about everything that has happened to me. I mentioned Cameron as a man that has fallen for me and Gabriel's eyes darkened.

"Do not worry," I lied, "I denied him completely." Gabriel nodded and I put my head on his shoulder. After that moment I decided to not see Cameron anymore. Some nights I woke up crying because I actually missed him. Five years went by without Cameron and I realized I just left with no goodbye or warning. I had to tell him sorry. I woke up in the middle of the night covered in sweat when I decided to go.

My hair was a mess and I was only wearing a nightgown where my breasts were basically hanging out. My nightgown was silk and an ivory color. I sneaked out of my bedroom where Gabriel was sleeping in a separate bed. I ran outside to Ava and rode all the way to Cameron's mansion.

"Shh," I hushed Ava when I arrived at his house. It had to be midnight. Something in me told me he was awake. I opened his gate with a creak and carefully walked to his doorstep. I grabbed the knocker and banged it against the door loudly so I knew it would wake him up.

"Decide to actually show up? Or did you get lost because you are 'new' around," He held up his hands and used quotation marks on new, "Or are you coming back because you wanted to lead me on again, only to send me away." I jumped and turned around putting my hand over my heart.

"You are being ridiculous," I denied, "My parents wanted me to do something for them and you were just distracting me."

"So I'm a distraction now?" He asked hurt and looked down angrily.

"Cameron please just listen to me," I begged. He could read me like a book. "We are not in love and you make it sound like we are. It was a masquerade and we were having fun. That is it."

"Oh you were having fun?" He yelled, "What? You had the chance to play dress up so you can get away from your precious mommy and daddy so you could do what you want. And now, you are coming here to tell me to not speak to you because it isn't what your parents think is best for you."

"Cameron!" I cried, "Please, you are taking this the wrong way."

"So I'm wrong?" he asked, " You are coming to say that you really like me and that you want to do things together so we can eventually fall in love like a perfect story with happily ever after."

"I just need to talk to you," I said, "About everything." Cameron sighed and held out his arm. I grabbed it and we started to walk around back. There were three pathways. Two came from the sides of the houses, and one came from the back door. The stone path led into the forest. We walked in silence as I thought of the words that I wanted to say so we wouldn't start fighting. The trees were like a canopy and only parts of the moon's rays shone through. I eventually heard running water and I looked at Cameron with a questioned look.

"I found this place a long time ago," He simply said, "Now I come here almost every day to think."

"What do you think about?" Cameron must have all the time in the world. I wish I could have that time to think. But I don't.

"Everything. Recently I have been thinking about you. What you look like behind that mask. What you felt about me. Where you left to. If you were ever coming back. If I actually imagined you or if you were actually real. You just left me here and I could not stop thinking about you."

"I am truly sorry," We stopped walking in front of a small waterfall with an iron bench. Cameron helped me sit down and he looked at me with those beautiful, emerald green eyes. I couldn't help but think of the demon door knocker.

"I did not come to the masquerade to dress up," I said, "I came to a party that I got invited to. I did not know what would happen, and I had no idea that I would meet you. You were a surprise and when I met you, I had not met anyone like you before. You are amazing. You kissed me and I thought I was going to die my heart was beating so fast. The person you met behind the mask is me. You are the greatest thing that's ever happened to me."

"Then why would you go somewhere to think when you could just come here and be with me!" He cupped my face and tried to kiss me, but I pulled away.

"I can't do this, Cameron. I have a fiancé," I lied and hurt covered his entire face and he looked down.

"You are in love with another man," He said sadly.

"I am not in love with anyone! My parents want me to be. He is my best friend, but he isn't the one, you know?"

"Then run away!" Cameron stood up, pulling me with him, "We could be together forever and get married!"

"Married!" I gasped, "Don't you think that's a little fast."

"Well," he laughed, "Maybe not marriage, but maybe the runaway together part could work out."

"I can't run away from this," I said sadly. Cameron cupped my face and leaned in to kiss me. I didn't even care anymore. Daniel was right about people having these kinds of feelings. Cameron paused to kiss me to see if I was ok with it. I went the rest of the way and kissed him softly. Cameron slid his arms down my shoulders to my waist. He pulled me closer to me and my stomach almost exploded with butterflies. He kissed me over and over again and he started kissing my cheeks down to my shoulders. I was breathing heavily and it gave me time to think. This is what Daniel did with the human. I am going to fall if I keep this up.

I threw myself away from him and ran away from the path.

"Elizabeth, wait!" Cameron ran after me, but I ran faster. "I'm sorry!"

"I can't do that!" I breathed heavily and ran all the way through the woods and came to the backyard.

"Elizabeth, please!" Cameron wasn't out of breath at all, "You're being ridiculous!"

"Oh I'm ridiculous!" I yelled back and looked back at him, "You are the one that wanted to get marr-!" I tripped in the middle of the road and looked back to see that I tripped over an Announcer.

"Elizabeth! Get out of the road!" I looked down the road and I saw the confused face of Gabriel.

"Gabriel!" I gasped. He pulled out his sword and aimed it at Cameron.

"I am certain she was running from you," He warned, "Now flee away from here." Cameron withdrew his sword and aimed it at Gabriel. I stood and watched, horrified as they fought. I made a stupid decision and jumped in the middle. Before I knew it, there was a pain in my stomach. The blade pulled out of my chest and I gasped clutching my stomach.

"What have you done?" Gabriel yelled. I looked up at Cameron in complete shock. His face was torn and it looked like he just lost everything that he ever needed in the world. Splotches of blue and black covered my vision when suddenly I blacked out. I could hear voices though.

"She's dead!" Cameron gasped and started sobbing.

"She is indeed dead," Gabriel lied. He knew that I couldn't die. I tried to listen to their conversation more, but I completely feinted.

I woke up in my bedroom and rubbed my eyes. Heaven. I was actually in Heaven again! I smiled groggily and I sat up to see Gabriel walking into my room.

"Hey," I smiled and he hugged me, "How long have I been out?"

"A week in Heaven," He smiled back at me.

"How long on earth?" I asked worried.

"One hundred years," I gasped and shot out of bed.

"My job!" I gasped, "What am I going to do?"

Gabriel laughed and I glared at him, "We already found a replacement for the Angel of Death do not worry."

"Cameron," I whispered, "He must have felt awful."

"He did," Gabriel nodded, "He probably found someone new though." I glared at Gabriel and I knew that it was for the best. After that conversation, I spent years sitting on a ledge and watching the people learn about technology and find North America. It all amazed me how oblivious the people were. I sat and watched Daniel fall in love over and over again with this human girl. My heart broke when I had to burn her every time. I had been in Daniel's position before. His reactions to what happened to her were awful. Then she would come around again every seventeen years just to die again and again. No one really knew why she kept on popping up again, she just did. It amazed me how styles changed throughout the years. The 1900s came around and I was shocked. I liked this style way more than the styles when I had to be on earth. They were so unique. But they just flew by and I had to correct myself because the styles in the twentieth century were way better.

"Well you have the chance to wear those styles now," A deep voice said behind me. I nearly jumped out of my skin and turned around to see Jesus.

"Jesus! You scared me!"

"I'm sorry," He apologized, "I noticed how absorbed you were about the humans and I think you should be able to live on earth and help out down there."

"What do you mean?" I asked. Living on earth with the humans again? It seemed like torture because of the wars and the fighting, but I liked the idea. I loved the humans as before I didn't care for them at all.

"I want you to go to earth and protect the humans from any demons or any harm." I thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

"Ok," I smiled, "I'll do it."

"You can have a boyfriend or anything as long as you fit in also," Jesus instructed, "You have basically no rules except for protect the humans. The year right now is 2010. You are seventeen and your name is still Elizabeth, but you'll go by Lizzy. You are a new student going to a school in Boston, Massachusetts. You are from California. You can figure out the other details. Those are just the basics. We took actual humans and made them believe that you are their child. You are adopted because they couldn't have a child."

"What were their lives before?" I asked, "Did you completely wipe their memory?"

"Your dad was the best photographer, and your mother is a librarian and a historian. Your dad got a job offer in Boston and that is why you guys moved there. You have no other relatives." I nodded taking everything in carefully. "Their parents died and they got a lot of money from it."

"How old are they?" I asked. I needed to know every detail about their life.

"Your mother is thirty-six, and your father is forty," He said and I nodded again.

"Names?"

"Your mother's name is Angela and your father's name is Robert. The lucky thing is that you don't have to change your last name. They actually had the last name Almquist," He smiled and I sighed in relief.

"Thank you," I smiled and ran to my room to pack. I packed every single outfit I had and basically threw myself down to earth. I landed in front of my new house and gasped. It was a rather large house.

The house was gray and made completely of stone. It had two towers on each side of the house and there was a circular window sticking out the front. It was three stories not including the attic and at least three fireplaces estimated by how many chimneys were sticking out the top. There were columns that circled the front of the house that supported the roof the porch. I stood in front of the house in shock. It was marvelous.

"Lizzy, come inside," Robert shouted. I looked up and saw him leaning out the window. I suddenly felt like an awful person coming into their house and brainwashing them as if it were nothing. I walked inside the house and looked around. There were moving boxes everywhere and you couldn't really see anything past them.

"Darling," Angela said, "Come choose a room." I looked at the woman with a blank expression. She seemed nice. She had long, dirty blonde hair and it was pulled into a clip. She had bangs that were cut straight across her forehead. They were messy and I assumed she was tired from lifting the boxes. I didn't look anything like her. She had hazel eyes and curvy lips. She was tall and slender and had a beautiful tan.

Robert walked in and he had dark brown curly hair with dark brown eyes. He was tall and muscular and was pretty tan. He was actually kind of hot.

"Are you ok, Elizabeth?" Angela asked and put a hand across my forehead.

"Fine," I whispered quietly, "I think my room is going to be in one of the towers."

She nodded and let me go past her. I walked into the rotunda and turned right to the staircase. I went up another staircase to the third floor. I guess my way to the room after that and chose the largest room with a tower. I walked into the circular room and sat on a bed where the frame was curved to fit the shape of the room. My comforter was dark red and I had gold pillows. The furniture in the room was also curved and the wood for my dresser was a very dark cherry wood. I looked at another door and it led to a walk in closet. I walked back into my room and looked inside the other door. It was a decent bathroom.

My floors were wood and it had a gold and dark red carpet on it. I walked out of the balcony and breathed in the fresh air. My house was in the middle of the woods where I couldn't be bothered. I walked back inside and ran down the stairs to the kitchen. It smelled like spaghetti and my stomach growled big time.

When the food was ready, we all sat at the dining room table, eating silently. Robert looked up at me and smiled, "Are you excited for school tomorrow?"

I coughed. I completely forgot about school, "What day is tomorrow?" I asked feeling really stupid.

"Monday, of course," Robert smiled again with his pearly whites.

"Oh," I looked down at my spaghetti, "Yeah I guess. I don't know how the kids are here, so I don't know how they'll act to a new student."

"Well," Angela said, "It's a rather small school compared to California. They have 1600 kids in the entire school.

"They have four hundred kids in each grade?" I exclaimed, "They aren't going to notice me at all!" I smiled widely and shock crossed their faces.

"We thought you wouldn't like it because there were so many kids. You do like being noticed."

"But not as the new kid," I shook my head, "People that have been going to that school forever are like leaches to new kids. They never leave the new kids alone. If there are a lot of kids at the school, they won't notice me as much."

"So it's great?" Angela asked, confused.

"Great," I chewed on my spaghetti that was suddenly really delicious. The rest of dinner consisted of me listed to Angela blabber on about the history of this house and this town. After dinner I decided to leave the house. I got to the door when Robert cleared his throat. I turned around slowly and smiled at him.

"I was just going on a walk to see the town," I fluttered my eyes, hoping it would fool him, but it didn't.

"You look like a mess," He denied me completely, "You are still in your pajamas and you haven't taken a shower. By then it will be too late and I don't want to worry about you. You'll see plenty of the town tomorrow."

"Fine," I sighed, "I'm going to bed." Robert pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. It felt, weird. I felt like I shouldn't belong there, but he acts as if though nothing has changed in his life. I ran up to my room and sat on my bed thinking. I eventually fell asleep from thinking and I was abruptly woken up what felt like ten minutes later to get ready.

"Up, up, up!" Angela said and I moaned. She ripped the covers off of my bed and I cringed away from her. Despite all the weirdness about me just barging in and living in this home, I actually liked my 'parents'. If the situation had been I met this married couple, I would have really liked them and probably become their best friend. I stood up and looked at Angela in the eye. Her eyes sparkled with joy every time she saw me, like I was the greatest thing that has ever happened to her. It kind of surprised me though because I didn't really expect her to like me. I thought she was just going to be a zombie that I got to order her around, but she actually treats me like her daughter. I hugged her casually and walked to my bathroom. I looked at the clock and realized it was super early for school and I relaxed. If I'm there early, I can get the papers done before class starts so I won't be late.

I stepped out of the steamy shower and tried to wipe off all the steam off of the mirror. Failing, I finally decided to give up and turn on the fan. The steam eventually went away and I looked at my hair. I died it back to normal brown a long time ago, so now it's back to its normal dark brown, almost black color.

I brushed my hair and parted it to the right side like normal and let it dry to huge ringlets down my back. I put on dark blue eyeliner and sparkly white eye shadow to make my eyes pop. I walked to my closet and looked at different selections of clothes. I decided to wear a black cinched blazer with a purple tank top underneath. I put on super dark washed boot-cut jeans with black buckle peep toe heals. Before I put on the shoes, I painted my toe nails purple. I finished the outfit with a necklace that had the old fashioned house key on it. I grabbed my black leather purse and walked downstairs.

Angela looked at me and smiled, "Looks like you got my sense of style." I smiled and she tossed me car keys.

"What are these?" I asked dumbly.

"Your car keys?" she looked at me like I was stupid and I blushed. No one said anything about me driving. I looked outside and sure enough in the driveway was a red 2010 Pontiac g6 convertible.

"Duh," I laughed and said bye to her and left. I backed out carefully out of our long driveway and used the GPS that they gave me to find the school.

The school was very old fashioned, but very large. I drove to the Junior parking lot and parked. There were some cars already here even though I was an hour early. I got out of the car and locked it and walked inside the school.

It was a very large school. I didn't even know where to look for the office. I walked around looking for it and I ended up going to the end of the hallway. I turned around and accidentally slammed into someone, making them drop their books.

"Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed, "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to!" The kid laughed and smiled. He had sandy blonde hair that fell into his forest green eyes. He was about five foot eight and had an adorable smile.

"It's alright," he laughed, "I didn't know you were going to turn around and I wasn't really paying attention."

"Oh, ok," I said nervously, "I'm Lizzy."

"Corey," He laughed at my nervousness, "You look lost; I'm guessing you're new?" I nodded.

"I can't even find the office," I said sadly and he burst out laughing.

"Here," he gestured towards where the entrance was, "I'll show it to you." I felt really stupid once we got there. It was literally in front of the entrance. We walked inside and I looked at the secretary. She was scribbling viciously and looked very annoyed.

"Excuse me," I said politely, "I'm new here and I need my schedule."

"Do you have an appointment?" she asked gruffly. I shook my head.

"No, I'm new."

She rolled her eyes and dialed someone on her phone. I zoned in and out while she was talking on the phone and then I was back to reality when she slammed the phone down. All she did was point towards a door that said Ms. Hammons. I opened the door and the room was pink. The paint wasn't pink; it just had a lot of pink in it. There were flamingos everywhere I was very shocked. I looked at the lady and she had bright frizzy orange hair with fusia horn-rimmed glasses. She had pink lipstick on and I seriously thought she was crazy.

"Hello Miss!" She said and held out her hand, "I'm Ms. Hammons, the junior councilor. You must be Elizabeth!"

"Lizzy," I corrected her. She looked at me, then Corey.

"Who are you?" She asked with a snobbish tone, "Never mind, just get out of my office and don't use the excuse that you are showing her around because everyone knows you have to volunteer and I don't recognize you, meaning you aren't a volunteer."

"Oh," Corey shifted weights, "Alright the, bye." I waved bye to Corey and put my attention back on Ms. Hammons. She had a white shirt on with flamingos having a tea party on it. I was starting to think she was nuts.

"You need your schedule and your books, don't you?" She said to herself while clicking away on her computer. The printer suddenly made a shuffling noise and printed out my schedule. She handed it to me along with my books and a net book.

"Why are you giving me a net book?" I asked confused.

"Every student gets one," she said simply and then picked up her phone, "Yes, send me a helper to show this girl around the school with this schedule." she said all of my classes and then hung up the phone and smiled at me. I looked at her teeth. They were pearly white and extremely straight. I saw a smudge of lipstick on it and I got a little grossed out.

There was a knock on the door and a boy with short curly brown hair and brown eyes walked in.

"Lizzy," Ms. Hammons smiled, "This is Colin. He's going to be showing you around today." I looked at the boy and he had freckles that spread across his face and he was very boney. He had a small smile and I thought he reminded me of a little brother.

"Hi," He smiled even larger, "Follow me!" I followed him up the stairs to the second floor of the building to a big set of lockers. "This is your locker and the combination is twenty-three, forty-three, and twenty-five." It was easy enough and I opened it no problem. I put all of my books in there and looked at my schedule English 11 honors."

"Yup that's the same class as me. We don't use our books in hardly any of our classes, so don't even bring one today." I nodded and followed him all the way to the third building to the other end and we stopped in front of a closed door.

"Why isn't she here yet?" I asked him.

"She's never here till the first bell," As if right on cue, the bell rang and a young woman with straight brown hair came up the stairs. She was very pretty and was about twenty-five. She was very slender and had a deep tan. She unlocked the doors and let everyone in. I walked into the class room and realized everyone had a seating chart. I walked to her desk and cleared my throat. She looked up from sorting paperwork and smiled.

"You must be Elizabeth," She smiled.

"Please, call me Lizzy."

"Lizzy, what a pretty name," She complimented, "Is there a problem?"

"I honestly have no idea where to sit," I admitted. She looked at her seating chart and pointed to the very front row to the empty desk next to Corey. He smiled at me as I sat down and I looked to the right and saw that the desk next to me was empty.

I turned my black net book on and set all the settings the way I liked it and then plugged my headphones in and listened to music on Youtube. The second bell rang and everyone stayed the same, but the teacher started taking attendance.

I closed my net book and realized that she was just looking at her seating chart and not calling names or anything. She looked around with a confused expression on her face.

"Has anyone seen Cam?" She asked and looked around even more.

"Here," that luxurious voice made my heart stop beating. There was no way. I looked at the door and saw him. I knew it was him. I couldn't mistake those emerald green eyes.

Please, Please, Please Review! The next chapter will be up soon!
