Well please R&R thanks.

Rated M for strong graphic violence, strong sexual content, and strong language.

Fireflies

Chapter One

Wind swirled through the trees, making the branches and leaves swirl around. Squirrels scampered around moving through the under brush. One moved up to a tan colored hand that was rested on a rock. It moved around the hand, sniffing it. Its nose brushed up against the finger. That slight action made the fingers twitch a bit. It lifted its head up and looked to see a brown haired woman laying on a bed of moss.

Her head lifted up and looked at the squirrel. It cocked its head at her before turning and scampering off. She watched its bushy tail disappear into some brush. The wind blew over her again and she sighed contently. Sitting back on her knees, her legs were at a right angle resting in the moss. A splitting headache cut through her head making her rub the heal of her hand against her forehead.

She scented a copper smell making her stop and open her eyes. She pulled back when she saw her right hand was covered in blood. Looking down she saw she was nude. However her current state wasn't what shocked her. What shocked her were the splotches of blood that were over her breast and her stomach. Turning to her left she looked to see the broken and shredded body of a deer laying next to her. She gasped loudly pushing back from the dead animal.

"The first change is always the strongest, and the worst" a voice said from behind her.

Turning slowly she looked to see a man she knew, a teacher of hers. His brown hair had some grey in it and was bald down the middle. His beard was connected to his hair as was his mustache. He wore loose fitting pajama style clothing. He smiled at her before tossing her a duster coat. She caught it and looked at it before slowly looking back to him.

"Sikowitz, what's going on?" She questioned in a shaky and raspy voice.

"You are a lycanthrope, a werewolf" he responded, no humor in his voice, not like his usual tone.

"Werewolves don't exist" she responded gaining more of her voice as she put the coat on.

"You're right, there must be some logical reason for you to wake up naked in a moss bed with a dead deer next to you" he quipped walking over to a rock. He sat on it and smirked at her. She just looked at him as she buttoned the coat up. "Tori, you are a werewolf now, like I am a werewolf. We are one of four immortal races. Werewolves, vampires, demons, and fallen angels" he explained watching her as she looked down at her hands.

"All that stuff really exist?" She questioned softly to herself.

"It does, and you're now a member of werewolves" he said making her head turn to look at him. "Werewolves were the answer to vampires while fallen angels are the answer to demons" he said his eyes locking with hers. "I'm sorry Tori, you're now in a war. A war of good and evil. And sometimes the lines are blurred" he spoke out making her head lower as she thought of it.

"I don't want this, any of this" she said softly, a few tears appearing in her eyes.

"I didn't either, but shit happens. Life throws us curve balls, sometimes they are a lot different than we expect" he said standing up, his hand extending to hers. She looked at him before slowly reaching her hand out and taking his. He helped her up but her legs were like that of jelly. Falling she let out a yelp of shock before suddenly Sikowitz caught her. "That'll ware off once you're use to the change" he said offering a kind smile as they walked back towards her house.

Her mind was a jumble of information. She is now a werewolf, a monster. To top it off she's just been thrown into a war between good and evil. It was severely getting to her, a world that she never knew existed was just suddenly thrown at her. Her hazel eyes darted around taking in every detail around her as she thought on the subject.

"I will help you to control the beast within you, it'll take time. Of course, time's all you got now. Someday you'll be able to control both the skin walker phase and the lycan phase. Once that happens you will be a force to be reckoned with" he spoke making her lift his head up to her.

"How old are you really?" She questioned in a meek tone making him look to her.

"Two hundred" he said making her eyes widen in shock at hearing that. He carried her up to the back porch of her house and gently sat her down on the wood deck. He looked at her as her legs trembled a bit but her footing was solid. "We must continue to act the same way we do at school. However outside of school I'll train you until you are ready" he said looking at her as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

She just nodded slightly before looking back up at him. He smiled slightly before turning and running off in the direction of the woods. She watched him disappear into the woods leaving her there. Slowly she looked down to her hands. Just under her skin was a monster, a monster she never knew existed. "So much for a normal life" she sighed before walking back into her house.

Across town a motorcycle roared in between cars. The rider swerved between cars narrowly missing many of them. Horns honked as the rider blasted through a red light. Looking back a black visor over the helmet covered the smirking face. Looking forward the occupant watched as a tractor trailer was in front of them.

Twisting their body the crotch rocket twisted low to the ground. The bike and its rider slid under the trailer. Coming out the other side the bike did a wheelie before screaming down the road again. Just then sirens started whaling making the rider look back. A cop car was following the bike. Pulling over the occupant looked as the cop got out and came to the rider's side.

"Jade West, third time this week you've been pulled over" the officer said looking at the rider.

Hands came up and pulled the helmet off. A black mane uncoiled from under the helmet. Blue eyes turned to the officer who was looking at her. She sneered a bit, her eyes rolling as she climbed off her bike. Her leather jacket squeaked a bit. Her black jeans covered her curved hips and rounded butt. She curled her finger through the green and blue streaks at the front of her head. The bolt above her left eye glinted a bit as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Third time's the charm" she quipped looking at him.

He looked at her as she continued to stare at him. Her eyes seemed to bore into him. His eyes locked with hers. Staring at them suddenly they started to glow slightly making him gaze deeper into them. His head shook a bit before he folded up his book and looked at her. "Get your shit together Jade, next time you will get a ticket" he said before walking back to his cruiser.

Jade watched as he drove off leaving her there smirking a bit. "Said you and all the other cops whose pulled me over" she said smirking a bit.

Placing the helmet back on she climbed onto her bike. Sitting back she started her bike, revving it a few times. Since she had turned sixteen she has been able to influence people. It worked wonders for her since she drove her motorcycle recklessly. She never understood it but it was effective. Smirking a bit she drove down the rode until she was in front of a Starbucks.

Parking the bike she walked over and opened the front door. Walking in she looked around at some people who were always there. They were the classic uptight Hollywood types. She just shook her head at them before walking up to the counter. She smiled a bit at the woman behind the counter.

The woman always seemed to put her at ease no matter what mood she was in. She had long auburn colored hair that was kept up in a ponytail. Her bright gold eyes glistened and sat well in her ivory colored skin. She was a little bit taller than Jade but she had a petite body type. She looked at Jade and smiled showing off perfect pearls in her mouth.

"Hey Allison" she said setting her helmet on the counter.

"Hey Jade, managed to get out of another ticket?" Allison questioned, a knowing smirk on her face as she started to mix Jade's coffee together.

"Yeah" she said with a slight smirk. She looked at the older woman and both let out a slight laugh. Jade took her coffee and looked at Allison. She stopped when her eyes picked up on something. It seemed that the woman was glowing a bit. A confused smirk went across her face but she just played it off as a trick of the light.

Grabbing her helmet she walked back outside. She walked over to her bike and leaned up against it. Taking a sip of her coffee she looked at her bike and smiled a bit. It was her pride and joy. She put a lot of money into it, and a lot of her time into it. The bike itself was a jet black color with what looked like webs going across it. Near the back tires there were what looked like flames spawning from the wheels.

She smiled a bit rubbing her gloved hand over the smooth shell of the bike. Looking up she looked around the city watching as cars drove by her. Taking another sip of her coffee she found her mind wondering. She thought about that girl Tori. A slight sneer went across her face. That girl had the gull to kiss her boyfriend in front of her. However there was something about the Latino that she couldn't place her finger on.

A twinge of pain shot up her back making her stop all her thoughts. Glancing over her shoulder her eyebrows arched a bit when she saw nothing there causing her the pain. She ignored it and continued to drink her coffee. Suddenly just as quickly as it started it stopped. Shrugging her shoulders she dropped the coffee cup into a waist can.

She prepared to move back to her bike but stopped as the pain returned. It hit her like a ton of bricks causing her to fall to her knees. She started grunting loudly as she crawled towards an ally. It felt like someone was stabbing a flaming knife into her back. Among the pain she felt something pushing against her leather jacket. Sitting back on her knees she unzipped her coat. Wrenching it off she looked to see something bulging against her tang top.

Suddenly the fabric was shredded and a pair of damp black feathered wings shot out of her back. Blood dripped from them and they shined a bit in the sun. Her eyes were wide as she looked at them. Slowly the pain began to take her over. She fell forward, her eyes fluttering a bit. Just before she passed out she looked to see a figure walking up to her.

A buzzing sound could be heard. Jade winced as slight twinges of pain were shooting through her. Her eyes fluttered and slowly opened. Her vision was blurry making her blink a bit. Her vision cleared and she found herself in a tattoo parlor. Her head twisted to the left and she looked to see a tattooist. He looked at her and then shut the machine off. Getting up from his stool he walked into another room.

Jade could barely move, her body, so stiff and sore it felt like someone was on her. Her back ached making her glance back over her shoulder. To her surprise the wings she saw earlier were gone. Rubbing her head a bit she moaned softly, closing her eyes trying to banish the pain.

"Good, you're awake" a voice, an all to familiar voice said from behind her.

Her eyes opened and slowly she looked back to see her standing there. Allison, the woman who knew Jade loved her coffee with three sugars and two creams. The woman who's been making her coffee since she was thirteen. She strode over to her side and looked down at her back.

"Alex always does a wonderful job" she said with a smile before turning. Grabbing a hand mirror she moved it in front of Jade's face. The teen looked at her causing her to nod to the mirror.

Slowly she turned and looked at the mirror, seeing it was showing her a full body mirror above her, that's where she focused. Once she did she gasped a bit. On her back were two tattoos, they were what appeared to be wings. They were folded up, running the length of her back, coming to a stop at the hem of her jeans. She could see the details of each feather. Her eyed than focused on a tattoo in between the wings.

It was just a simple design, one of a line about six inches long. There were spirals going around it. Once they got close to the bottom they connected to the line. Around them were what looked like feathers. Her head slowly turned to look at Allison who took the mirror away. The older woman moved over to a table and took a black shirt off of it. She passed it to Jade who slowly took it.

"So would it be a safe bet to say you're very confused and want to know just what the fuck is going on?" She questioned earning a slow nod from Jade. "Well, you're a fallen angel like the man who did your tattoos and me. We're some of the last, there ain't many of us left in the world. The tattoos are a way to cover them up and hide them from mortals. The one between the wings is the mark of a fallen angel" she explained walking around to be in front of Jade.

"I don't understand" she said looking at Allison.

"You wouldnt" she started with a shrug. "That's because unlike Alex and I you were raised by mortals. We are the protectors of humanity" she said before pulling her shirt off. A wave of relief hit Jade when she saw the woman was wearing a bra. She turned her back to Jade and to her surprise she saw the same tattoos.

She watched as her hand came back and unsnapped her bra. She watched as suddenly the skin started to ripple a bit. The feathers turned a black color and slowly they started lifting out of the skin. It looked like the skin was struggling to keep a hold of the feathers. They lifted away from the body. Looking on, Jade watched as a pair of all black wings spread wide. She guessed it had to be at least a fifteen foot long wingspan. She looked at the wings, the feathers at the end curled upwards a bit. Allison turned to look at her, her wings folding around her body.

"Why me?" Jade could only ask looking at her.

"Because you are One of Two, an ancient prophecy one given to us immortals by the ancient gods. Now I'm sure more questions have been raised than answered. I'll explain it all in due time. Just know that I will explain it all to you. However you need to start training, you're now in a war, a war between darkness and light. We have to battle demons, vampires, and some werewolves. However a new player has appeared in the war we never thought possible" she explained all the while walking around in front of Jade who was listening closely to what she had to say.

"Who's the new threat?" Jade asked watching her as her head turned to look at her.

"Humans, humans have been posing a threat to all four kinds of immortal races. They hunt us mercilessly and slaughter us by the hundreds every month. Luckily, we, the fallen angels are the hardest to kill" she explained before walking over to be face to face with Jade. "It's time for you to go home, but training to fight and harness all your abilities will begin tomorrow" she said before nodding behind her.

Jade looked at her before looking back to see who she nodded to. Looking she saw Alex the tattooist standing there. He had her helmet, gloves, and jacket. He motioned her to the stuff which she slowly got up. She walked over to her stuff and picked it up.

"Jade, remember demons can take the form of anything. Be careful of new people you allow into your life" Allison said after her making the new fallen angel look back at her.

Jade just nodded a bit before Alex led her outside. She looked to see her biked parked next to the front door. She looked back to Alex who lowered his head. He touched two fingers to his forehead before dragging them down to his nose. Once he stopped he moved his fingers out towards Jade.

"What does that mean?" She asked looking at him.

"Go in peace, and be safe" he replied in a gruff voice before turning and walking back into the shop.

Jade watched him return to the shop. Slowly she turned to her bike. Her black hair was moving around her head as she slowly walked her bike over to the street. A new world has been thrown at her. Her world had changed making head spin causing her grumble a bit. Putting her helmet on she started her bike and drove off back towards her house. One thing was sure, she needed to find out what happened to cause her to be raised by 'Mortals' as Allison had put it.

Jade pulled into the driveway of her house. She looked to see both of her parent's cars were home. She was happy a bit at seeing that. Climbing off her bike her hands came up and pulled her helmet off. Walking up to her front door she opened it. Looking around neither of her parents were in the immediate area. Walking into the living room she looked at her parents.

Her mother was watching television while her father was bent over some papers from work. Moving over to a chair in the room she sat down.

"Hey Jade, how was your day?" Bethany asked looking at her daughter.

Jade took a deep breath, lowering her head a bit. She rubbed her hands over her knees before looking back up to her parents. "Do you two know who my blood parents are?" Jade questioned making her father stop his work and her mother look back to him.

"Why would you ask that?" Andrew questioned looking at her.

"Because I found out today you two aren't my real parents" Jade responded lowering her head a bit.

Bethany got up and moved over to Jade's side. She placed her arm around her daughter and pulled her into a hug. "You are our daughter, we love you very much" she said looking at Jade who looked back at her.

"I know, and I love you both, but who are my real parents?" She asked looking from her mother to her father.

"We don't know" Andrew said making Jade lock eyes with him.

"We found you abandoned in the woods. You were just an infant, couldn't have been more than a few days old. We adopted you, claiming you as our daughter" Bethany explained looking at her.

Jade looked at her before looking to Andrew. He stood up and came to her side. Both hugged her and she returned the hug. They were her parents now, whoever decided to abandon her made a mistake. She had a great life, and great parents. She was happy even though now she was a fallen angel. She would just have to be a fallen angel and the child of two humans. She would just have to juggle both worlds.
