Chapter One-
I sat cross-legged on the grass. It was not normal for her to call me out this late. A small shimmer caught my eye. As I turned my head towards it, the light turned into a faint green glow. This glow became a woman. The grass seemed to bow to her and the trees curtsied. The wind picked up, placing kisses on her cheeks without hesitation.
"Essence," she said, walking towards me, her long dress grazing the ground below her bare feet. Brown hair flowed down her back, and the green glow was still present, tinting her skin. Her eyes shone brightly like glowing emeralds.
"Mother," I answered, standing up to meet her. She eyed me as she always did when we met in person. I never changed much, my chocolate brown hair with dark red streaks, and rich mocha skin giving away my heritage, but my deep green eyes set me apart. A great number of my traits came from how I was created, or more like what I was derived from.
She said, years ago that the Native Americans became aware of the over- population of the world. Nobody would die on their own terms. Homicide was the only way to fix this problem, but that wasn't an option.
They prayed to Mother. They offered their collective blood, dirt, leaves and even the very power within them. From these things, I was created to keep balance.
"I have a job for you and CeCe, Essence." My eyes widened at this. She never wanted me to use CeCe on my missions. That meant that this was very important. It also meant Mother was incredibly nervous.
"You want me to use CeCe?"I asked, doubt filling my voice.
"Yes. As you may have guessed, daughter, this is very important."
I nodded in assent. She then continued.
"I need you to keep a close eye on a group of teenagers for me. They are… gifted by nature, but a group of scientists," she sneered the word, malice clear in her voice," altered them. They enhanced their powers, but only succeeded in endangering them."
Hatred burned fresh in her eyes, darkening her gaze. Her face contorted in anger, forcing the ground to shake with shared loathing. I gasped slightly, bringing her back. She was once again serene and beautiful.
"Keep an eye on? So this is not a kill?" I asked in astonishment. It was rare that I ever went on any other assignment.
"No, Essence, just a guardian angel mission." she smiled, touching her slender hand to my cheek." And of course you are the best for that job."
She slowly pulled away, still smiling softly.
"Very well, Mother. When do I start?"
"Now."
