Chapter Three: Leaving

"Nothing to see here, nothing to see." The police officer ushered the crowd back behind the tape.

"Such a tragic death," one of the paramedics said, shaking her head.

"And so young too," another added.

"The poor mother," said the first medic sadly. "Her only child dead."

The medics all turned to look at the mother sobbing silently and then back to the girl lying on the street. Her black hair mingled with the red blood. Her glasses lay beside her, broken beyond repair. He medics all clasped their hands to pray fro this unfortunate accident.

A reporter appeared out of the crowd with a crew of cameramen. She stepped over the tape and started her news bulletin.

She cleared her throat. With a signal from the main cameraman she began taking.

"I am here live at the scene of a tragic death. Stephanie Yuen, recently turned 15, has died of a hit and run accident. The car that hit her is being pursued as we speak." The camera swung over to the girl on the ground, than back to the reporter. The reporter walked over to a paramedic. "What did this girl suffer from?"

"Stephanie suffered from internal bleeding and broken bones in every part of her body. Even if she had survived, she would be paralysed for live because her spine is broken in three places. Her heart stopped long before. If the car hadn't hit her so hard, she might've with little injury." The medic shook her head and sighed.

"Well, there you have it folks," the reporter said, turning back to the camera. "You have all witnessed the death of an innocent girl." The reporter started to turn away from the girl when a gasp from a medic made her turn back.

A white light surrounded the girl. All eyes were on the girl, a camera getting all the footage of this wondrous moment.

The girl started floating higher and higher up into the air. A burst of light expelled out from a necklace that hung around her neck. The beam of light engulfed the girl, turning into a cocoon. But, although she was covered with light, the crowd watching could still see her.

Slowly, she started to change before their eyes. Her long back hair lightened into a brunette colour. Her blank staring eyes changed into a blue-green colour. Her jacket was discarded and it fell gently to the ground. Her clothes changed slowly into a long flowing dress with long flowing sleeves. The dress shimmered with rainbow colours. A circlet of gold appeared on her forehead. Her backpack was gone only to be replaced by a satchel.

The girl's body straightened until she was hovering upright in the air, her hair flowing behind her like a sunburst. Than, slowly, she slid out of her glowing cocoon. Her feet gently touched the ground and she kneeled there, her long hair stirring in the wind. A voice softly spoke into the air.

"May you now be reborn as Angel," the voice caressed the ears of all who heard before fading away.

Angel slowly opened her eyes and raised her head. Her eyes seemed to shift from blue to green making one wonder what colour they really were. She looked curiously around her and spied the crowds of people around her. She frowned at everyone and cautiously stood up, almost tripping on her long dress. Might as well keep on going.

"Clumsy me." She looked around at her. "My name's Angel."

The crowd looked at her, stunned into silence. Angel looked at them curiously.

"What's wrong?" she asked. "Never seen a person come back from the dead?" She giggled with innocent delight. She bowed to them all, her smile fading away to be replaced by tears.

"I must leave you all now." She sniffled sadly. "I'm needed elsewhere, in a world where danger lurks in every corner. I must prevent this evil from spreading." She turned to her mother, her tears brimming. "I'm sorry. I can't stay and if I do, I won't be able to survive here." Pearly tears fell from her face. Turning to the crowd, she called out, "Goodbye everyone, friends and family alike. Goodbye!"

The Goddess suddenly appeared at her side in a flash of light. The crowd gasped as one but she paid no attention. She spoke with a tone so soft that the crowd had to lean closer to hear her words.

"It is time, my child." The Goddess smiled down to her. "The Elemental Galaxy will be forever grateful for your deed."

Angel smiled sadly. She turned to her "mother" that had raised her for fifteen years. "I'm sorry. But I'm needed somewhere else." She bent her head down. "My body on this world will disintegrate the minute a leave. Goodbye."

The Goddess smiled at her as she rose. "Are you ready?"

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be." She took a deep breath, brushing herself. "Okay, open the portal!" 

The Goddess nodded and a beam of light shot out of her hand. It went up to the sky. The clouds twisted and turned, swirling into a black vortex. The Goddess closed her eyes and suddenly, beautiful wings unfurled behind her. With a last look at the spectators and a nod to Angel, she launched herself up to the sky. She disappeared as she flew up to the back hole. Angel looked up into the black hole with unease.

"Wow," she whispered. "I have to go up that?" She looked at it mumbling about being afraid of heights than shrugging, she said, "Oh well. Guess I'm gonna have to get used to it. I did ask for a less boring life." She sighed. "I have to be more careful about what I wish for."

Angel waved jovially at the people before clasping her hands. Angel felt something on her back and opened her closed eyes. She looked behind her and grinned. She turned her back to the crowd and the people gasped again.

There, behind her, was a pair of white wings. She smiled and unfurled them, testing it. With an effortless push, she too flew up into the sky. She took one last look at everything she was leaving behind. Than, with a little giggle, she flew higher and higher into the sky and straight into the black vortex. With a resounding boom, the vortex closed, leaving a flurry of cherry blossoms and white feathers.

A distraught family watched the news on TV. The family huddled around each other, jumping at every noise. Tears flowed down their cheeks. The phone rang constantly but no one went to get it.

In a galaxy far away, another person was watching the news.

"And there you have it folks," the female reporter said on the news bulletin that evening. "A girl coming back to life only to disappear into a dark hole, probably never to return again. Scientists say that…" and the reporter went on to drone about scientific definitions.

The girl smiled and turned the TV off. She got up and walked towards the door. Opening it, she entered the Grand Hall. Turning to the butler, she said four words.

"Is she here yet?"

Finally! I got it done! I know, I know, I've been putting it off for awhile. But I just started a new semester with a whole lot of homework. And thanks to everyone complaining (jks!) I made Stephanie/Angel have faults. I mean, it took awhile for them to appear and I needed to find the right place for them. Well, I hope you enjoy this chappie. And I'll try to introduce the boys soon but first I have to introduce the other characters. Oo I didn't just say that! Pretend you didn't see that. Anyway, I'll update faster this time but I'm gonna have to change some of it on the computer. I write everything down in a book. Well, till then, later!
