Hi my name is Rebecca but this isn't about me. It's about a friend of mine, her name is Isabel. Now she's not from here. No she's not even human. If you don't believe me just let her story unfold in front of your own eyes or as they say.
CHAPTER ONE
HOME IN HEAVEN
"Isabel you're late, the meeting is about to start."
"I know I just lost track of time."
"Now that all of all us are here, we can get started with the meeting," Begin the head Angel.
"Now we need one Angel to go down to Earth, to keep an eye on a girl named Rebecca, any questions?" Asked the head Angel.
"Yes Annabel what is your question my?" She asked.
"Yes Maryann," Began Annabel.
"Why does one of us need to keep an eye on her?" she asked.
"That's a very good question," Began Maryann.
"The reason is, her mother always prayed that our Lord would send one of us to keep an eye on her."
"What's the matter with her anyway?" asked Rachel.
"She's in a gang, and her mother is scared for her life."
"So who's going to go?" asked another.
"That's good question," Began Maryann again.
"I've already thought of that, and I've chose someone who never been to Earth, at least not since she came to us almost two years ago, and that well be Isabel."
"Me!?" she asked in shock.
"Yes believe it or not it's your turn to go down to Earth, but Isabel the catch is, after your mission Rebecca want be able to see you anymore."
"Ok then when do I leave?" Isabel asked.
"As soon as you're ready come see me, and I'll show you were to go. Any questions," an hour later. " Any other question about why I'm sending Isabel? None? Ok the meeting's over ya'll may go," after she said that all the Angles just flew way, and lift Isabel by herself to think. An hour later
"Maryann I guess I'm ready to go to Earth," Isabel told her as she flew to a cloud where Maryann was.
"Ok just come with me Isabel," she told Isabel as she flew away.
"Wow where is this place?" Isabel asked as they both landed where Maryann did all her work for the Lord.
"This is St. Petersburg Russia, look Isabel that's Rebecca, she's the one who needs your help, now you will stay there as long as you're needed."
"As you wish Maryann."
"By the way Isabel," began Maryann as Isabel was flying away.
"I'll be keeping an eye on you, and what I've also heard about Rebecca is, she doesn't belong in that gang, she also very nice. She isn't anything like the people she hangs around with, now one last thing before you go Isabel. she's the only one who will be able to see your wings. So to everyone else, you'll pass as a normal human," began Maryann.
"Isabel you're an Angel, and we Angels can do anything we put our minds too. Now lesson to me Isabel, when you're down there you can't contact me, but I can and well contact you, now you take good care of your self Isabel."
"You too Maryann," they told each other giving one another a hug.
CHAPTER TWO
GOING DOWN TO EARTH
"It most be five or maybe eight," she told herself.
"Do you know where the train station is?" asked an orphan.
"I'm sorry but I'm not from here, I wish I could help," said Isabel.
"That's ok Miss thanks anyway," said the Orphan walking away.
"Boy a really wish I could help that poor little girl," thought Isabel.
"Yes but she's not Rebecca," came a voice.
"What who said that?"
"Down here look at your bracelet."
"Oh hi Maryann."
"How are you doing down there Isabel?"
"So far so good I think,"
"Isabel that's grate, Now look over there," started Maryann.
"That's Rebecca, she's the one who needs your help. Go on over and introduce yourself to her, I'll get back to you this evening," then al of a sudden Maryann was gone, so Isabel walked over to Rebecca.
"Hi I'm Isabel, and you are?"
"Oh hi, I'm Rebecca. So where are you from Isabel?"
"I'm from up north, so are you from here?" asked Isabel
"I sure am." Rebecca began.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Yaw go right ahead, ask me anything."
"Ok, then what's up with those wings?"
"You'll never believe me."
"Oh yaw?"
"Yaw."
"Try me."
"Ok," Isabel began.
"Well," Isabel said with a gasp, remembering what Maryann told her.
"I'm an Angel, not just any Angel, your garden Angel."
"Oh yaw right, like you're my garden Angel," said Rebecca with a little laugh.
"I told you, you would never believe me," Isabel told her with a smile.
"If you're an Angel, can you teach me to be one?"
"Only if you teach me to be human."
"You got yourself a dill," said Rebecca shaking Isabel's hand.
"Now what do we do first?"
"Talk to your mother."
"Who me?"
"Yes you?"
"Why in the Hell should I?"
"Because your mother prayed to our Lord, that he would send one of his Angels, so she sent me."
"She? What do you mean she?"
"Her name's Maryann, she's the head Angel, she's the one who sent me."
"So there's more of you angels?"
"There sure is, you don't really believe in angels do you?"
"No not really, I mean I knew that other people believe in ya'll. In angels I mean, but I for one never did."
"So are you ready to go talk to your mother?"
"Yaw. I guess so, I mean if you go with me."
"Of course I will I mean that's what I was sent to do."
"Isabel it's almost 11:30 pm, so can we go see her tomorrow?"
"I didn't know what time it was, so yaw, we'll go see her tomorrow, goodnight Rebecca."
"Goodnight Isabel, oh and Isabel."
"Yes?"
"Welcome to Earth," said Rebecca with a smile, as she was falling asleep, all of a sudden.
"Isabel are you there?"
"I'm here Maryann."
"Can I speak to you for a minute please?"
"Yaw just a minute," she said as she walked out of the room where Rebecca was now a sleep.
"Now what did you want to speak to me about?" Asked Isabel walking outside the house.
"How's it going down there?"
"It's going better then I thought it would, we're going to speak to her mother tomorrow afternoon."
"We'll that sounds grate well done, I'm very proud of you. Well that's all I wanted to check on, I'll talk to you some more tomorrow, goodnight Isabel." "Goodnight Maryann."
CHAPTER THREE
GOING TO TALK TO HER MOTHER
"So this is your home is it?"
"It was."
"Why did you leave anyway Rebecca?"
"They didn't understand me."
"So you lift home just because of that?"
"Pretty dumb right?"
"Boy I'll say, lesson to me Rebecca, I was killed by a dive by shooting. I would have gave anything, to take back the mean stuff I said to my parents."
"What did you say to them?"
"I was nineteen."
"Oh that kind of stuff."
"Yaw."
"But you got into Heaven."
"Yaw with the help of my parents razing me right, Rebecca it's thanks to my parents that I didn't end up in a gang like you. By the way, how old are you?" Asked Isabel as she and Rebecca walked up the street, where Rebecca grow up.
"I'm fifteen."
"You're only fifteen?" asked Isabel in surprised.
"Yaw so, what deferent's dose it make?"
"One other question, how old were you when you joined this gang?"
"I was only thirteen."
"Your first year as a teen, my father would have never spoken to me if I did something like that," said Isabel as she was talking to herself.
"Hum Isabel, this is where my parents live."
"Oh I knew that," began Isabel with a little laugh as she walked up the driveway to Rebecca's home, all of a sudden the door opened.
"Rebecca is that you?"
"Hi mother."
"Oh Rebecca it is you, thank God.
"Mother I would like you to meet Isabel, she's my-."
"She'll never believe you," Isabel told Rebecca with a smile."
"Isabel's your what?" asked her mother with a smile as well.
"Oh she's my best friend, Isabel meat my mother Rosemary Smith."
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Smith."
"Please just Rose."
"Ok Rose."
"Thank you for bringing my daughter back home."
"I'm not home mother!" "

"Right, I'm sorry mother.
"You see, Isabel and I we. I'm sorry mother, I need to talk to you."
"Is it anything I did?" asked Rose with them walking behind her, walking inside the house."
"No mother," began Rebecca sitting down on the couch.
"You see Is, I mean a friend of mine died a little while ago, and she told me before she died a little while ago, and she told me before she died, she wished she could tell her parents how much she loved them."
"What are you saying honey?"
"Mother what I'm saying is, mother I love you, I'm sorry if I haven't told you here lately, you're not mad at me are you?"
"Rebecca honey, you know I could never be mad at you."
"Hum mother, where's father?" Rebecca asked her mother as they hugged each other.
"Your father went missing a week ago."
"So nobody knows where he is? He's out on the streets?"
"It sounds like it."
"I'll see you soon mother."

"Isabel my father's out there somewhere, I have to find him!"
"Ok Rebecca just take it easy, I'll help you."

"Rose I give you my word, that she'll be home after she fines her father." "Ok I trust you."
"Then let's go find him."
"You two be safe, and I'll see ya'll later," said her mother, as Rebecca and Isabel walked down the sidewalk.
CHAPTER FOUR
BACK ON THE STREETS
"Rebecca do you even know what, you're going to do if your father is in trouble?"
"Oh Isabel I pray to God I do," a minute later.
"Isabel what in the world, are you doing letting her go back out on the streets!?"
"Maryann trust me it's not my idea."
"Isabel you're the garden Angel not her!"
"Hi you must be Maryann, I'm Rebecca."
"Yaw I know who you are, I'm the one who sent Isabel to you."
"Oh right. Maryann, Isabel told me that she died of a drive by shooting, and she also told me that, if she could do anything over again she would tell her parents how mush she loved them."
"So what did you learn by that?"
"I learned that you don't have much time here on earth."
"So what are you going to do?"
"As soon as I fined my father, I'm leaving the streets for good."
"That's my girl, Isabel. Yes Maryann?"
"You're doing just what you were sent down there to do, and I'm very proud of you."
"Thank you Maryann."
"I'll check back with you in a little bit, take care of your self Isabel."

"Look Isabel."
"What? I don't see anything."
"Just look at that movie theater."

"You still don't see him?"
"See who Rebecca?"
"Isabel you don't see the man standing by the door underneath the movie sine."
"Hay you look like your father, don't you Rebecca?"
"Yaw why?"
"Because I see someone who looks like you."
"How do you know Isabel?"
"He's walking this way," all of a sudden.
"Rebecca is that you dear?"
"Father? It is you, Father!" said Rebecca running up and hugging her father. "Father I would like you to meet Isabel, she's

"Right I almost forgot, father this is my new friend Isabel."
"Isabel is your last name Rolf?"
"Well yes it I, why?"
"I know your father."
"How do you know my father?"
"Your father and I were good friends in school, when we were younger before they moved to the states that is."
"We were also good friends with Tsar Nicolas."
"Ya'll knew Tsar Nicholas?"
"Shrew did."
"I still don't understand, how do you still know my father?"
"He comes to visit every now and again."
"He come to visit, so this is where he comes when he tells us he has a biasness trip," said Isabel to herself.
"Answer me this father, why did leave home?"
"I just lift home to find you, and take you home with me."
"How long have you been looking for me father?"
"For almost two weeks," her father told her as they were walking away. "Father you were no where near my gang," said Rebecca with a laugh, all of a sudden Rebecca fillet herself being pulled away from her father and Isabel." "What Draco!"
"I only have one question for you Rebecca."
"What's that Draco?"
"What in the Hell are you doing with that man?! You belong to me!"
"She belongs to no one, but herself," said Isabel as she pulled Rebecca away from him.
"Come back and be mine Rebecca, or he gets it!" Draco told her as one of the members put a gone to her fathers head.
"Father!"
"Don't worry about me honey, just go with him."
"It's ok Rebecca I'll find you," Isabel told her in a whisper.
"Let's go men, we have who we came for!" said Draco pulling Rebecca by the rest, an hour later at Rebecca's parents house.
"John I still can't believe you let them take her!"
"Isabel can I talk to you for a minute please?"
"Yaw just a minute Maryann," opening the door.

"And you just lit him!?"
"I couldn't help it Maryann."
"How long ago did this happen?"
"Just an hour ago."
"Ok then we still have time."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean Isabel," began Maryann.
"If we don't hurry Rebecca will be killed."
"She will be what?"
"You heard me right Isabel," all of a sudden.

"My father laughed the same way, what father?"
"Isabel, oh my little Isabel."

"Why not?"
"Father I just can't, I'm sorry, I need to go somewhere," she told her father with a tear in her eye.
"Isabel are you there?"
"I'm here Maryann, sorry about that," said Isabel rubbing her eye.
"Isabel what's the matter?"
"Nothing's the matter, why do you ask?"
"You're crying that why, now what's the matter?"

"Now there's one other thing I want you to do."
"What's that Draco?"
"Take off your clothes, and get into that bed."

"I'm sorry maim, there's nothing lift to do."
"Isabel I'm sorry, your father's gone." Rebecca said trying to comfort her, just as Isabel remembered she was an Angel. The next morning they had a funeral for him. An hour later as everyone was leaving, Isabel just stayed there looking down at her fathers craven. All of a sudden, people to this day still say that they saw wings on Isabel's back. Right before she vanished into thin air, but before she did Rebecca walked up and asked.
"What's going on Isabel?"
"Rebecca I'm sorry, but I have to go," Isabel to her still looking down.
"But Isabel, you to me that you would teach me how to be an Angel." "Rebecca take it easy, I already taught you everything."

"I'll miss you too Isabel."
"Take good care of your self."
"You do the same Rebecca," they told one another as they hugged.
"Now even though you can't see us, doesn't mean we're not there, said Isabel walking into the light, all of a sudden Isabel vanished. All of a sudden. "I'm very proud of you Isabel, you finished you mission way before you had too, I sent you down two weeks ago, Now this is the scent week, you got it done in a week, none of the other Angel ever did, you're the first, as I said before, I'll say it again, well done," Maryann told her as she hugged Isabel. "Oh by the way, there's someone who's here to see you."
"What father?" "I told you I'll be ok Isabel," Thomas told her as he hugged her.
"Now Isabel," began Maryann putting an arm around Thomas's neck.
"Let's take our new member home, shell we," right after that they were in the middle of the crowed of Angels.
"Come on quite down Isabel, and I would like ya'll to meet someone, so come on quite down, we would like ya'll to meet Isabel's father, Thomas!" "Welcome Thomas!"
"Than you everyone," as Maryann took Isabel aside to talk.
"Isabel it's time I told why I sent you down to earth." "
That's ok Maryann, I figured it out when I was looking at his craven."
"You figured it out did ya?"
"Yaw, you sent me back not for Rebecca, but to take him away."
"Isabel you're only half right, I did send you down for Rebecca, I didn't know your father was going to be there, Isabel before you came into the light your father, and I were talking about it. Nobody knows what happened to the Tsar and his family, people think that the youngest daughter is still a life." "What do you want me to do, find her take her back to her grandmothers?" "No nothing like that Isabel."
"Then what do you want me to do then?"
"Go back down, not to Russia but to Pares. You'll look, sound, and acted like her."
"But what about my wings Maryann?"
"Oh you won't be an Angel anymore, but human again."
"But why?"
"I just thought I should give you a new life."
"How long am I going to stay there this time?"
"Just until your time's up."
"When do I leave?" "Right now."
"Ok why not."
"Take good care of yourself Isabel."
"You do the same."
CHAPTER EIGHT
BACK TO EARTH
Before Isabel knew it she was waking up in her grandmothers home. "Good morning my little Anastasia," said her grandmother walking in with two lady's maids on each side.
"How did you sleep my dear?"
"Fine, but I had a strange dream," she began sitting up in bed, as her breakfast chary and the other lady's maid was opening the shades.
"So tell me about your dream."
"Well grandmamma my dream was me as an Angel, my name was I think they called me Isabel, do you think it's possible grandmamma?"
"Anything's possible my dear." Her grandmother told her kissing her on the forehead.
"Now come on get up, get dressed, and we'll go into town.
"One thing grandmamma."
"Anything my dear," said her grandmother, as Anastasia was getting up out of bed.
"Have you heard anything on Mama, Papa, or any of the others?" Anastasia asked as she was chancing out of her night cloths.
"No I'm sorry to say there's no word from them at all, but maybe soon my dear."
"Grandmamma at least I'm here with you," Anastasia told her grandmother walking out behind the curtain."
"Yes you're right, you are here with me. I thank Good everyday since you were brought back to me, I pray that the others are ok as well, but all that matters is that you're a life, and seeing the woman you have become, brings me back the joy I thought I could never fill again, now I have a question for you."
"Anything grandmamma."
"Do you have any memories about that night?"
"Only nightmares that's it."
"What kind of nightmares?"
"Just screaming."
"Do you want to remember what happened that night?"
"Grandmamma is this about Mama, papa, and the others?"
"I'm sorry to say it is."
"They're not coming back are they?"
"I'm sorry but they're not."
"So I'm alone."
"No my dear you have me, we have each other," she told Anastasia with her grandmother hands around her.
"Now let's go on into town." In town, someone pumped into Anastasia.
"Oh I'm very sorry about that, I- Isabel?"
"I'm sorry do I know you?"
"Isabel it's me Rebecca."
"I'm sorry Miss but my name's Anastasia."
"Don't you remember helping me in Russia just last week."
"I've been here almost two mouths, I never was in Russia last week.
So that was the last time I saw Isabel, boy I really do miss her.
