They both immediately stopped talking and looked over at her. They spoke at the same time, Jake said, “yes,” while Michael said, “well, sort-of.” Sharry stood up, so fast that she felt a bit dizzy, they both ran to her side as they saw her swaying. “What does, ‘sort-of’ mean Michael? How do you sort-of find a person?”Sharry asked. Both of them lead her back to the couch where they made her sit down and have a glass of water. “Well, I had my water, I’m sitting down like a good girl, so” Sharry said, “let me have it! Tell me what’s going on!” 

Just then Michael’s phone rang. “Matt? Hi! So, any news? Did you narrow it down? Have you found her?” For about five minutes all they could do was wait while Michael made a lot of sounds like, “m’hmm” “okay””oh no” “and” “well” “not good” “well, shit” “yah” “mmm” and “hmm” “you’re serious!” “How did we not see that ahead of time?”  ” really” “yes! I’m shocked. And saddened…” “soon” “that’s great at least” “good work man!” . Finally he hung up, he looked grim, but hopeful. “Well, what do you want first? The good news or the bad news?” “As long as the good news is about my mom, that’s what I want to hear first,” Sharry replied. “”Okay,” Michael said, “the good news is about your mom! They found the warehouse that she was being held in and she appears to be unharmed. Eziechial got her though. She almost escaped on her own, had just gotten herself untied. He wouldn’t have had a chance to grab her if she hadn’t been so resourceful?! ” “Oh thank God! Maybe this praying thing really does work!?” Sharry sighed in relief. “Well, yes it’s good news, but the difficulty was getting to her.”Michael said. Sharry said, “you just sent a huge group of your toughest angels to storm Lucifer and free my mom!! Thank you so much Michael. So so much! I’ll never forget this.” She stood up and hugged him and held him, crying with relief. He held her back. They were both a little too comfortable…

Jacob loudly cleared his throat, not liking what he was seeing and said, “Don’t forget about the bad news,” Jake was happy to see Sharry sit back down. It killed him seeing Michael hold her like that. “If he does it to me again,” he said in his head, “I’ll never forgive him!” Out loud he said, “what is it Michael? I can tell by that grim expression that it isn’t good!” Michael sighed,”Lucifer has a bunch of Angels, our brothers and sisters working with him. Many of whom we thought were on our side. Eziechial and Mathew will let us kno who and how bad, and we’ll compile a list of those he saw, but it’s bad Jacob, he sounded shell-shocked, said that they hardly made it out. It was a massacre…Matt said it was an ambush and many turned on them right then and there. I guess Lucifer freaked out because, he had assumed that we’d be there and so the good thing is, we can figure out who’s left on our side and come up with plan. His secret ambush backfired. Let’s hope it was his biggest secret. He’ll stop at nothing to win this war!” “We also better find out who’s loyal to whom soon and change the security details around here, we won’t be letting in anymore traitors!!” Jacob said. “Yes. Your right,” Michael said, “I’m going to send a message right now to Gabriel at the gates, that no Angels get in until Mathew and Ziech and the rest return with that list. I don’t care who we offend. We’re not letting anyone get that close to Sharry and any of the other Nephilim again!” He immediately began typing into his phone. “Well, that went horribly wrong. What was meant as a fact finding, quiet scoping out of Lucifer’s digs, turned into an ambush. Obviously whomever those double agents were, they told Lucifer ahead of time that we were coming.”Michael said. “The thing I don’t get is we just came up with these plans? They were executed immediately after we found Sharry’s mom? I wonder…”Jake suddenly stopped talking, put his finger to his lips signaling for them to be quiet. He took out his phone, cranked out some really horribly loud music. While the music was screeching, he whispered to them both,”I think we’ve been bugged. Likely by one of those traitor Angels! Let’s check out all of the obvious places, the lights, vents, phones, paintings, etcetera. Once Matt’s back we can have him use the scanner for any we may miss.”

Sharry watched them searching and finding bugs all throughout Michael’s office. They found five and who knew if they had gotten them all?? “I’ll definitely have Eziechial and Mathew use the scanner for a full check once they’re back,” Michael said under the music. “Maybe we can use this to our advantage in some way,”Jake said. Just then there was a knock on the door, Matthew and Eziechial came into the room looking like they’d just returned from a war. Matthew was about to talk, but Michael gestured to be quiet then whispered something to him. Mathew left the room and returned moments later with an electronic device in his hand he turned it on and searched the entire office, finding 3 more bugs in Michael’s office and 11 throughout the lodge building. 

Finally, an hour after they had returned, after locating all of the bugs and healing their own cuts and bruises, as well as their more seriously wounded.  (Sharry wondered if that was something that she could learn how to do…it was so cool! Imagine never having another bruise, wound or broken bone that couldn’t be fixed!!) Michael called everyone into his office, so that Mathew and Eziechial could tell them, what had happened. Sharry couldn’t understand how so many Angels could decide to defect from God and their legions to side with Lucifer. It looked like they had lost over 15 Angels. No wonder it had felt like a massacre to Mathew and Eziechial, they went in with 30 Angels to check out the area fully, find out where Sharry’s mom was being held, see how many guards Lucifer had, etc and if and only if they could do it with 100% assurance that no one would get hurt, rescue Sharry’s mom.  Well, the massacre kind of shifted the “nobody getting hurt” thing! They came back with only 10 of them remaining, which was awful, but for Sharry, her mom was with them and that was all that mattered!! During the chaos, when the bad Angels defected and turned on their brothers and sisters, Eziechial found Sharry’s mom sneaking out on her own. She had managed to untie the ropes that bound her tightly to the chair, when the guards became distracted by the fighting, she thought it was the perfect time to sneak off! She had originally lost it and freaked out when Eziechial had approached her, which almost got them both caught, until he explained to her that they were working with Jake and Sharry and that he would take her to them right away!! Suddenly someone from the back was pushing past the Angels, fighting hard to get to the front of the group. They headed, “where is she?” Then Sharry’s mom burst through to the front of the group. 

“Mom!! Finally!!!” Sharry was so so happy! They ran into each other’s arms and squealed and shrieked and were overjoyed to be reunited. “Why didn’t you bring her in to see me right away?!” Sharry yelled at them. “We needed to make certain that we had all of the bugs removed, so Lucifer doesn’t know that our shifter isn’t your mom!” Michael said. “Make sure Lucifer doesn’t know our who isn’t your what??” Sharry and her mom said in unison, making them both giggle. Jake smiles, “we have some Angels who are able to look like other people, take their shape and form, mimic the person perfectly! We call them shifters.” “Huh. Strange! But why do you want Lucifer to think that he still has mom?” Sharry asked. “Well, there are many reasons. The biggest being, he’s not chasing after you like a mad man when he believes that he still has your mom as bait.”

Jake stood up, “okay love, as long as you’re sure?”He asked,”you’re going to be okay right?” Sharry nodded and wiped at her tears with the back of her hand, “where are the bathrooms in this chapel?” She asked him. “I’m going to splash some water on my face and then come back and get to my praying.” Jake pointed, “just down that hall and to your left.” She nodded, kissed him on the cheek and walked out of the little chapel and towards the bathrooms. Jake walked back to the alter where he had a city map spread out and Sharry’s mom’s chain. He picked up the necklace held it over the map and began praying. 

Sharry splashed some water on her face and used a paper towel to blot it dry. As she was doing this, the door opened and a pretty blond girl, who looked to be about Sharry’s age, walked in. “Hi,”Sharry said. She smiled and stuck out her hand, “I’m Sharry.” “Oh, I already know who you are,”blondy said in a sarcastic tone. “You’re the one all the Angels are freaking out about.” She walked all around Sharry, openly checking her out, “well, I can see why, you’re nice to look at”she winked at Sharry and finally shook Sharry’s out streatched hand, “Hi. Nice to finally meet you, I’m Carly.” Sharry was generally good at reading people, but this girl was all over the map, at once friendly and then cynical. “Uh, nice to meet you Carly. So, are you an Angel or a half Angel?” Sharry asked her. “I’m the same as you girl, expcept I’ve probably known longer. It’s a lot at first…well, I probably didn’t have it as bad as you, I’m sorry about your mom. That’s rough man! You may be the one who lets all the rest of us off the hook, but you’re clearly no where near ready!” She chuckled, “Lucifer is going to eat you alive!” “Ah, well, yah you’re probably right. I’m going to get back to the chapel to see how my boy…ah, I mean Jacob is doing with my mom’s chain” Sharry wasn’t sure about this girl. She seemed to be super bitter about something. Just like the way all of those girls had looked at her when she was walking around camp with Jake. Weird. She didn’t know the whole etiquette thing about Angels dating one of the nephilim, but she’d kind of sensed that Carly and many of the others knew about it and didn’t approve or were maybe even jealous about it. Again, weird. “Okay Sharry,” she said in a snobbish way, “you just run to your man as fast as you can honey. Nice meeting you!” Sharry walked back into the chapel not sure what to think. That goodbye was in such a nasty tone. “What is up with these other nephilim? Hopefully they’re not all like that,” Sharry thought to herself, “what did I do to offend her so much??”

She walked over to where Jake was quietly praying with her mom’s necklace and sat quietly in the first pew. She put her head down, to pray and must have nodded off, because the next thing she knew, she could smell some alluring cologne. Half asleep she realized that she was being carried, by yet another smoking hot Angel. He gently carried her into Michael’s office and lied her down on th couch, making sure there was a cushion under her head and a blanket over her. She offered a mumbled, “thank you” and was instantly back asleep. 

Sharry wasn’t sure how much time had passed, when she was woken by a heated discussion on the other side of the room. Of course, it was Jacob and Michael, who generally seem to agree on nothing, other than taking care of her. In a scratchy, sleepy voice she said, “guys guys, what’s the problem?” In unison they both yelled at the other, “you woke her up!!” “You were the one who started getting angry first,” Jake said. “Oh yah?! Give me a break! It was you who…”Michael couldn’t finish his sentence, as Sharry interrupted them both,”it doesn’t matter, I needed to wake up soon anyway! Just tell me what’s going on. Did you find my mom??”

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

I had a long day today. We had a weird and early freak snow storm…it’s still fall, Halloween hasn’t even happened yet!! I’m so tired again tonight. I just fell asleep writing that. I wrote so with about thirty o’s!! Okay. This is ridiculous. I can’t even keep my eyes open to write one word!! This is crazy. I’m going to try to write a bit of my Sharry story, then hit the hay!!Saw the pain dr today. He changed a couple things and thinks he knows why my tummy has been so bad. I can write more tomorrow, I can’t keep my eyes open, argh?
Sharry – 16

Jake ran from where he was praying over the necklace to her side, “babe! Babe! Honey, it’s okay. It’s all going to be okay. Sweety, please don’t cry. Don’t cry.” He said. “We’re going to figure this out. We’re going to find your mom, we’re getting close. It’s going to be fine. Stop worrying. It’s okay.” She looked up at him from where she was kneeling, “Stop worrying?! It’s okay?!” Sharry whimpered and wiped her nose on the back of her hand. “How is any of this okay Jake? How? Even if we find my mom…” Jake interrupted, “you mean when we find your mom” Sharry sniffed, “if, when, whatever. It won’t matter!! I mean, I may as well give up to Lucifer. You think he’s ever going to stop looking for me? Of course he’s not!! I’m dead-meat regardless Jake. Unless someone kills him, and can you even kill an Angel?? Or if he gets locked back in hell, which I’m sure wasn’t easy the first time and wasn’t it God who did that?? Can’t God come on down and take care of Lucifer again?? Where is this God you all cringe at when I curse?? Why isn’t God helping you guys? And, without God’s assistance what are the odds that we’ll be able to get Lucifer back into hell any time soon? Slim to none right??” She was sobbing while talking. She had turned around and had her head in his lap, she just cried and cried while he patiently stroked her hair and listened to her rant. He thought that she probably needed to get it out. However, she suddenly sat up and sniffled, “I’m so sorry Jake! I’m going to be okay, Jake, really, I’m okay. Go do your praying over the necklace thing. I shouldn’t have done that right now, had this big freak-out, because you need to find my mom and I’m over here crying like a baby and interrupting you! I’m so selfish!” She said, tears still streaking down her cheeks. “Just go, GO!” She yelled, “don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. What you have to do is more important, so go do it, please! I’m just going to sit here quietly praying to your God for help. You go figure out where my mom is. Just go Jake. That’s the best thing you can do to help me right now.  Find.  My.  Mom.” Sharry said with conviction.

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

Wow! I just re-read last night’s post and there sure were a lot of mistakes in it!! It’d be better for people who are following along to read it on the day after I write it. I always go back the next day and read what I wrote and correct whatever errors I’ve made. WordPress had an update and it took me a bit to figure some of the things out. Don’t you hate some updates?? At least when they first come out anyway. After you play around with it and catch on, hopefully, to the changes. I know the idea is that they are improving things or making them more user friendly, so they say, but it doesn’t feel like that when you first look at something that you just got the hang of and it’s all changed! Am I right?? It’s like I just got good at using the maps on my phone. I could get routes, I could get the dude to talk over my Bluetooth to tell me where I was going it was all good, then bam! IOS 10 comes out and it’s changed. Argh! It’s not like I won’t figure it out or anything, it’s just that you feel like, okay, here I go again! There’s probably so many things that my phone is capable of that I have no idea about! Just completely clueless! But…that’s what I have kids for! Am I right? It’s like they look at the new changes and they’re like, hey mom, look at this cool new thing with messenger and that’s how I learn it…just a lot slower than they did – lol! So, last night it took me forever to figure out how to change my writing from a draft to published…but, in the end I conquered that update and I won and my story of many mistakes was born, for your reading pleasure…hope everyone isn’t too sick of Sharry. I just want to write about it when I sit down to write. That’s the first place my mind goes. Maybe it’ll turn into a real book one day, you never know right? It’s important to be positive! I was talking to a girl I met on Facebook who is an author and has self-published (she calls it indie publishing) quite a few books. I asked her how she writes so many stories. She told me to commit writing at least one page a day, no matter what. Then you will get there and it won’t feel like it was hard. Well, that’s what I’ve been doing, without really thinking about it. Huh. I guess we’ll see. 

Back to Sharry:
“It’s not what I’d call ‘Angel voodoo’ Sharry. I just have to go to the chapel and pray with the necklace and then, once enough time has passed and I feel connected with your mom, I must chant while holding the necklace over a map and it will naturally pull or point towards the area on the map where your mom’s spirit is.” Michael said, “however in this case, it’s probably better if Jacob does it.  He’s met your mom and knows her, since there’s already a connection there, it should come to him sooner than it would for me.” “That’s exactly what I was going to suggest, brother.” Jake said, as Michael handed the necklace to him. “I’m going to go there now.” He said. “I’d like to come, please” Sharry said.  “I’m feeling desperate and I need to do some praying of my own.” “Okay,” Michael said, “and Jake, try to make it snappy. I’m expecting Lucifer’s call to be coming soon, it’d be really great to get the drop on him and have the location that Sharry’s mother is being held, before he asks about a trade!!” “I know man, it’s definitely time-sensitive,” Jake said. “We’re going right now.”

Sharry got up and followed Jake out the door, through the lodge and back outside. If she thought some people were staring at her before, this time it felt like everyone was watching her, as she walked with Jake, grasping his hand tightly, holding back tears and trying not to panic. She kept telling herself over and over that it was going to be okay, that Jake was about to find where her mom is being held. She knew that Lucifer was dangerous, but she didn’t think he’d hurt her mom, not if he needed her alive for a trade. “How can I be the chosen one,” she thought to herself, “what does Lucifer know that we, or even Michael doesn’t know?? Michael always seems to know everything. I wonder if he will be able to hear my prayers? Or do I have to be praying to him, not God? Do I actually have any privacy left or not…it kind of is starting to feel like not!!” Sharry hadn’t really been focusing on her rambling thoughts and hadn’t been paying attention to where they were walking, but now they headed up the steps to a small chapel. She had expected something far grander, especially if the Angels use it, but when she said so to Jake, he explained that this did used to be a children’s camp and that most of the buildings, including this small chapel, had been here when they’d acquired the land. She didn’t really want to know how Angels go about acquiring land, so she just nodded. Jake was rambling on and on, likely because he was worried about her and was trying to make her hopeful and happier. He was trying really hard to take her mind off of things, but she was too lost in her head and hadn’t really been paying attention to what he was saying. 

Sharry was starting to feel a bit numb and dizzy and was wondering what it felt like to go into shock. She was feeling overwhelmed by everything hat had happened in only two days!! First off, her boyfriend turns out to be her guardian Angel, then she’s abducted by Michael to learn all about Angels. Then she finds out that she’s a half Angel, because her mother did the deed with an Angel (if they looked anything like the Angels she’s seen so far, well…go mom!!). Next she learns that there’s a weird Angel prophecy that she’s now at the centre of. Not only is Lucifer alive, but he’s after half Angels, the nephilim, and, it turns out that his half Angel of choice is her! Now she’s in some sort of Angel/Nephilim military-training type of camp, where she finds out that her mom has been taken by Lucifer, to get to her!! And, as she plopped down onto a pew in the tiny chapel she sighed audibly and flipped over the praying thing that you kneel on and went onto her knees, bowed her head and started to sob uncontrollably.

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

“How could Lucifer get past your guards??” Sharry yelled! She hadn’t stopped yelling for 15 minutes, she was not taking the news about her mothers abduction well, not that anyone would expect her to! Jake had tried consoling her, as had Michael, but neither could calm her down. “Why me? Why my mom? Look out there,”she pointed out the window to the field where the practicing and training was still going on, like nothing monumental and life changing had happened to any of them. “Just look at them all?? Why me and my mom?? Why show up last night and taunt me? Then the very next day take my mom?? Michael, what is really going on here? Please be honest with me or I’m going to march outside, grab one of those sticks with the sharp curved blade on the end that they’re training with and cut your head off!!” She was up and yelling, so much so that a security guard/Angel knocked on the door and asked, “is everything okay in there boss??” “It’s fine,” Michael replied. “Sharry!! You need to sit down and breath!!  We’re trying to figure out what to do here and you’re in no shape to help your mom in the state you’re in! Just sit down and breath and stop yelling!” Michael yelled. That seemed to have knock a little sense into Sharry, for she sat and did what Michael had requested. Jake stood behind her chair and started to rub Sharry’s shoulders, but she shrugged him off and said, “not now Jake, please.” Instead he sat back down beside her and she reached out and held his hand. “Look, okay Michael, I’m calming down. Please tell me what you know??”

“Well, I’m just going to cut to the chase and say it, you’re the chosen one Sharry!” Michael said. Before Jake or Sharry could interrupt or object, he continued, “you have to be! Lucifer obviously knows something about this prophecy that we don’t…nothing else makes sense. We also know that he only has a couple weeks to get you in time, in order to fulfill the prophecy. He’s getting desperate. I’m expecting a ransom call, more likely he’ll ask for a trade , you for your mom, which of course…” both Jake and Sharry interrupted. Sharry said, “of course we’ll do!” While Jake said, “of course we’ll never agree to!” Sharry glared at Jake and angrily asked, “how can you say that?! It’s my mom Jacob!!” Jake said, “hon, it’s clearly going to be a trap! If you truly are the chosen one, we can’t let Lucifer get near you!” Sharry said, “of course it’s going to be a trap, but it’s my Mom Jake, my mother, I have to do everything in my power to get her back!! Can’t you track her or feel her aura or whatever it is you Angels do? You found me that way, right?” Jake said, “she’s not part Angel, so we have to do this the human’s way of doing things! That is, unless you have something of hers that she treasures or she’s prayed with? Something extremely special. It has to be something she’s used almost like a talisman or prayer beads. I may be able to find a bit of a trace of her spirit if you have something like that.” “I’m wearing it,” Sharry said. She put her hands behind her neck and unclasped a simple gold box chain, with a small gold cross on it. “This was my grandmothers, my mom’s, and now it’s mine. It was passed down to me at my confirmation. Here,” she said as she handed it to Michael. Now do your Angel voodoo or whatever it is you do to ‘trace her spirit’ and please hurry!!”

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

I’m beat! I’ve had a long long day. We started with a 7:45am before school haircut for my little man. I saw that his photos were today at school, so I texted my neighbour, Sharon, who is a hairdresser. She said that we could fit him in before school. Hank goodness! He was looking shaggier then Shaggy on Scooby-Do. Once his haircut was over, he went to school. Tonight we got to see the new hockey arena , downtown Edmonton. It was an Oil Kings game. It was supposed to be a great fundraiser, but we got squat! It was very frustrating. This is about to be finished because I am falling asleep as I write. It’s been over 20minutes since I’ve started, but all I do is keep falling asleep, so I’m not even writing anything else. I just keep hitting random letters, misspelling everything. I’m so sorry, but goodbye for now!!! Ahhhh…I just did t again!! I’m going to bed now!! Night all!!

Sharry opened her eyes and saw that she was standing just outside a little cabin. When she looked around, she saw that there was a beautiful river and at least 10 other cabins, just like the one she was standing by. They were arranged in a semi-circle, each with a small balcony facing the river. Just beyond the last cabin, was a huge lodge type building and some bigger cabins. She also saw a fire pit, a sandy area that almost looked like a volleyball pit and a huge field.  The field was where the action was at, there was a bunch of young people, about her age, that were doing all sorts of things, from target practice with a bow to what looked like a strategy course, to jumping off of a small cliff like they were trying to fly.  She felt like she was in a time warp, back to her one, failed, attempt at a summer sports camp! These camps were for super sporty, talented and strong kids. All the exact opposite of her. “What on earth are we doing here,”she thought to herself. 

She was about to ask Jake why they were at summer camp, when she noticed the Angels. They were everywhere. Some looked to be guards, some were carefully watching the kids and others yet were correcting and teaching them and others were right in there working or maybe training with them. “I do not belong here,” she thought. 

She looked up at Jake and said, “please tell me that this is not where I’m going to be training on Monday!!” Jake grinned, “yep. This is the heart of the Eve garden, we call it Camp Eve Heart. It’s the safest place for you to be right now.” Sharry looked over at the field again, there were weapons that she’d never heard of or seen before and many of the kids were bandaged, bleeding or limping.  She sighed, “I’m going to be sick. Where’s a bathroom?” “Just breath,” he said, “slowly in and out. Everything is going to work out just fine. You’ll see.” “Work out fine??? Jake, I graduated last year. I have a horrible job that I’m not particularly fond of, but anything is better than this!! Anything!!! I was 100%certain that I’d never have to survive another humiliating gym class ever again, let alone gym class with these super-powered kids!!! I don’t belong here!!” She shrieked, apparently a bit loud, as some heads turned her way. Some smiled at her and others laughed and started whispering. “See!!” Sharry said in a controlled whisper, trying not to shout.  “It’s begun already! I’m not even out in that dreadful field yet and they’re already laughing!! I can’t do this Jake. I want to go home!!! Pleeaase??” She begged him. “I’m not going to make you participate today, I was just going to walk around with you to give you the tour and to introduce you to whomever we meet along the way,” he said. She felt like a petulant child and could actually feel her lips quivering, but there was no way that she would allow herself to cry, not here with all of these Angels and half Angels everywhere.  She bit her lip to stop the quivering. “I just want to go home!!” She said desperately, but Jake had already started walking away and glanced over his shoulder and motioned to her to join him. Reluctantly, she caught up to him and walked along side him. 

“These cabins or barracks, as Michael likes to call them, are for the nephilim. This is where you’ll stay, if we can figure things out with your mom.  Each cabin has space for 6,” Jake said. Sharry had stopped and was staring, petrified, at the field. “I never thought there’d be this many Nephilim,” she said. “This is crazy, you know how easy this is going to be for Lucifer?? Look at them all! We’re dead meat, aren’t we Jake?”  Jack replied,” we’re ahead of him so far. We have almost all of the Nephilim, we have the lists, he doesn’t, we just have to keep him out and get all of you ready. ”  “But if it could be anyone of us, why doesn’t he just swoop down here and grab one of us?” A panicked Sharry asked. “Well, for two reasons really,” Jake said, “first of all, he can’t see where we are because it’s being cloaked, and it’s very well guarded. Secondly, there’s a part of the prophecy that speaks about “The Chosen One” and we haven’t quite figured out that part yet. What we do know is that it can’t just be any old nephilim, there’s a specific one. We just have to figure out who this chosen one is…we don’t know, but the good news is that we don’t think Lucifer has figured out that part of the prophecy, as well. Now, back to your tour,  we’ve made it to the lodge. We’ll go inside first since it’s probably less busy at this time of day.” So they walked toward the lodge, as they walked they passed a lot of people and Angels and the thing Sharry picked up on immediately was that almost every girl, human or Angel, smiled at Jake and tried to get him to talk to her. They giggled and batted their eyes and probably 90%of them glared at Sharry a great deal as she was being introduced   She’d never felt so out of place. They entered the lodge and she wasn’t paying attention, she literally ran smack into Michael. “Oh my God I’m…” she saw the cringing all around the quiet room, “sorry, this is still new for me! I mean oh my goodness! I’m so so sorry Michael.” “Not a problem,”Michael said, “I can have beautiful women run into me all day long!” They heard some chuckles, but Jake was not smiling, he was looking at Michael like he was ready to rip his throat out. “Babe, it’s fine. It was just a joke!!”Sharry said. This created even more chuckles and whispers.

Michael just ignored everything but them and said, in a very serious voice, “I was just going to look for you, I guess I can call off the search party. I’m so relieved to see you’re in one piece!” He said this as he gave Sharry a huge bear hug, like a big brother would, but Sharry couldn’t help but feel how strong and fit he was while returning the hug.  Jake sighed in an exaggerated manner and tapped Michael on the shoulder, “uh, why the hugs and the search party??? What’s going on Michael?” Michael let go, almost reluctantly, of Sharry, cleared his groat and said, “we have to talk. But we need privacy!! Now! Follow me!” He lead them across the huge hall area and into a room, which looked like an office. “Okay. Have a seat,” he said while gesturing toward some chairs.  “I have some really bad…” he quickly glanced at Sharry, “actually, terrible news!” He looked at her again, but didn’t look away this time. He cleared his throat again and Sharry braced herself, she knew it was going to be bad, why else would Michael be acting like this?? “Sharry. I’m so so so sorry, but we think that Lucifer has your mother…” “WHAT!!” She yelled and jumped up out of her chair, which fell to the floor with a loud crash! “How the hell did that happen??? How do you know…? What the…No!! You’re wrong!” Sharry grabbed her phone and called her mom, but it just rang and rang. “C’mon, c’mon, c’mon” she repeated over and over until she slammed it onto the table! “How do you know?? What if she just ran to the store or something?? I thought you had guards stationed around the house!? That’s what Jake told me?! How could this have happened? Why me? Why my mom??”

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

“You might just have wings and not know it yet,” Jake said to Sharry. She looked at him like he was crazy, “uh, I think I’d know if I had wings!” Sharry replied sarcastically!  “After seeing Michael’s black wings and yours, well they’re huge! It’d be kind of hard to hide those…from myself!!!” Jake just laughed good-naturedly. “Not necessarily! Fairly often nephilim live an entire lifetime without ever developing their wings.” Jake said, “if you do have wings, they’re dormant, as we do the training and you fly with Michael and I, you’ll start to feel them coming in. It’ll start out almost as an itch that you can’t quite scratch. Then it will turn into an ache. You’ll have a really rough day or two as they break through the skin. Then they’ll always be there, but you’ll learn how to make them invisible, just like we do.” He smiled at her, then noticed her mouth was wide open in shock. “What?” He said. “Break through my skin!!! That’s awful!!” Sharry squirmed,”you’re saying I may already have wings growing beneath my skin??” She went pale,”I think I’m going to be sick! I’m not good with pain!” “It’s okay,” Jake said. “We’ll just keep you comfortable in the infirmary at the Eve Garden. We’ll have one of our physicians there to help you with any pain or discomfort. Don’t worry hon, it sounds worse than it is!”   “Oh sure. Just throw me in the infirmary full of strangers, as my wings break free from my skin…my WINGS!!! Jake! This is insane!!” Sharry yelled, “how can this be happening to me?? I’m sitting on a fricken’ cloud, with my Angel boyfriend talking about when my wings develop and tear through my SKIN!! If I wasn’t on a fricken’ cloud, I’d find a door to slam or I’d at least be able to pace. What is happening to my life!!?” She was close to tears and breathing in and out in ragged breaths. Jake put his arms and wings around her and she put her head on his shoulder. “I know this all feels crazy right now. Don’t worry. We’ll take it really slow and when it is all done, you’ll see that you were strong enough and brave enough to face it all. We’ll defeat Lucifer and then, hopefully, your life will go back to normal,” he said soothingly. “Yah, right, because having wings is so normal!!” Sharry said. “We’ll teach you how to make them invisible, so no one will ever have to see them,” he said.

Sharry sighed, “okay, okay. I’m sorry for losing it back there, it’s just a lot to take in, you know?” “I know it’s a lot. I wish that there was an easier way to do this, but there just isn’t. You needed to know about Lucifer and about Angels. It’s the only way we can keep you safe!!”  “And just what do I tell my mom that I’m up to? Especially when she finds out I’m not going into work?”Sharry wondered aloud. “I was thinking you tell her you’re joining the army. The training you’re starting will keep you away from home and there are barracks that you can stay in. You’ll be a lot safer there,” Jake said. ” Join the army! And leave my mom all by herself?? She’ll be devastated Jake!” Sharry replied.”I’m all she has and she’s all I have!!” “Well, to be completely, brutally honest, your mom will be safest not being near you,” he said. “Lucifer wouldn’t think twice about using your mom for bait! We already have extra patrols outside your house.” “Oh no! Is she safe! What am I going to do?” Sharry felt so helpless. ” You know what?” She said, “Maybe we can send her away for a while. Somewhere safe that won’t make her a target. If anything happens to her, I’d never forgive myself! I just want this damn training to be done, so I can keep her safe.” Jake replied, “it’d be a lot easier if we knew whether or not she knew your father was an Angel. If she knows about us, we can just be honest with her and then move her to a safe house ASAP. Is there anyway you could try talking to her about it?” “What am I supposed to say Jake?” Sharry asked, “hey mom, was my dad an Angel??” “Actually, yes, just like that!” Jake said, “because if she knows he’s an angel, she might get uncomfortable and awkward and give it away and if she doesn’t, she’ll likely think you’re talking about whether or not he was a nice guy. ” “Huh,” Sharry responded, “that just might work. Okay. I’ll do it. Tonight after supper. I’ll do anything to keep her safe.” The wind had started to blow and it made the cloud seem even more unstable than before, not to mention freezing cold. “I think I’ve had my share of heights for today,” she said to Jake. “This wind is making me nervous, I can’t look down or I may throw up and can’t clouds, you know, break up and sort of dissolve or disappear or whatever it is clouds do after a while. Could you please take me back to solid ground! Please!” “Of course love,” Jake said. He gently scooped her up and flew her down. She didn’t dare open her eyes, so she had no idea where they had landed, but she didn’t care. As long as there was solid ground under her feet!

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

Sharry rolled over and groggily opened her eyes while yawning, she was generally not a morning person!! It took her some time and good coffee to feel fully awake. She yawned and glanced across her room, and saw Jake sitting at her desk, on her computer. “Oh’! Good morning love.” She said while yawning again. Then she suddenly shot up straight in her bed, “Oh my God,” she didn’t even notice him cringe at her blasphemy. “Jake, what are you doing here! If my mom finds you in here she’s going to kill me!!” “Don’t worry hon! Like I told you last night, I’ll just make myself invisible if she comes up. It’s fine.” Jake said to calm her down, but she looked utterly lost and confused. “Oh Shar. I know it’s a lot to take in, but don’t worry, I’ll be with you every step of the way!” Sharry looked at him, tired and confused, she asked, “Why. Are. You. Here??” “Remember,” jake answered, “Lucifer seems to be getting close and, as your guardian Angel, well you’re stuck with me hon! I can’t let you out of my sight! Also, there’s been a bit of a change of plans. Michael called and he wants wants me to start going over some of the abilities testing and he’d like us to practice flying, so we can begin to get you more comfortable with it.” “Flying…?? Angels…??” Sharry mumbled to herself, “it wasn’t a dream?? Well shit…” “Pardon me?” Jake said. Sharry looked over at Jake, “oh nothing.” “You know, Michael thinks you’re one of the stronger niphilims, he’s pretty sure that you can fly! I can’t wait, the two of us soaring above the city, holding hands, going wherever?!” Jake said. “Well, I’m getting ahead of myself, we obviously can’t do that yet. You know, I can’t wait until we find Lucifer and this whole mess is over!!” “Me fly??” Sharry thought, “but I’m not a fan of heights!!” 

Sharry didn’t know if she could fly, even after last night, believing in Angels seemed crazy!! And now here she was smack in the middle of this ancient prophecy…!! Was this really happening?? Suddenly her blonde, blue-eyed boyfriend has wings!!! And as crazy as that all sounds he wanted her to fly too! Sharry, “me fly!!??”she said, a little too loudly. “Are you losing your mind!! You know me and heights! And what am I going to do, I don’t exactly have wings you know!!” Jake stood up and walked over to where she was sitting up in her bed, he grabbed her hands and knelt beside her, and said,”try not to be afraid,” interrupting, she said,”Are you crazy??!!” “Shhhhh…”, he said. “You just need to look in my eyes, and trust me. Everything’s going to be okay.” He said calmly,”It’s me, Jake, and I’m not going to hurt you. Or let anything hurt you”Then he pulled his shirt off. Sharry didn’t know if she should look at him or the ground, she felt her her face turning beat red, “Gooodness, he’s ripped!!” She thought to herself. “Uh, What are you doing?” She asked him. He stood up, spread his long arms wide and suddenly between his arms, attached to his torso and back, were two incredible, beautiful, magnificent white wings. “Y’you h’, hav’, have wings!!!” Sharry squealed!! “WINGS!!!! Oh my God! Jake!! You really have wings!!  I was trying to convince myself that it wasn’t real. That it was all just a bad dream. But, nope…you really and truly have wings!! Beautiful wings!” She stood up and walked over to him. She couldn’t stop staring. They were magnificent! She walked all around him staring in awe.

 Jake smiled, his beautiful, mischievous smile that was so Jake! And said, “well love, sorry to disappoint, but it wasn’t a dream or a nightmare…it was last night!” Full of his usual charm, of course. Sharry was completely speechless! “Jake. Has. Wings.” She thought, over and over as she nervously started pacing in the circle of his wings. “Am I losing my mind?” “What is going on??” She thought, “this is really happening, holy cow, it was real!!” Part of her tried to decide if she should check in to the local looney bin or if she was just going to gaze at him forever…Jake nudged his hand up under her chin, then leaned in and kissed her like they always had and she felt like they always would. Sharry couldn’t help herself and she naturally leaned into him and opened her mouth to his. “Yes. This is still my Jake.” She thought, as he wrapped his arms, and immaculate wings, around her. She had never before felt so wholy and completely loved; she had never felt as safe as she did now, in his embrace. “Holy Shit!!” “I’m in love with an Angel!!” She screamed in her head! Her body aching to move into him, she reluctantly pulled away and whispered to him, “What’s going on??!””How is this possible? Don’t get me wrong, your wings are incredible!! Just. Just. How is this happening? This isn’t happening…I’m asleep! That’s all…it’s just a silly nightmare and I’m going to wake up.  NOW!  C’Mon. Wake up!” Then she took a deep breath and asked him, “Is this really real??” Jake smiled and nodded, “Y’up! As real as it can get!” “How?” she asked. “What! What is happening?” she asked again. “How can you be an Angel? How can Michael be an Angel? How is all of this even possible?”she shrieked a little too highly. Jake put his hands on her shoulders, “Just calm down!  And take a deep breath!”he said. “Once again, last night was real!! You’re not going crazy. Michael and I are Angels and you’re one of the nephilim, a half Angel.”

Suddenly, they heard, “honey? Are you awake? Who are you talking to?” “Shit! It’s my mom!!” Sharry said. Jake instantly disappeared, just as her bedroom door opened and her mom walked in. “Good morning honey,” her mom said, “I thought I heard you talking to someone?” Her mom said. “Oh, I was talking to Jake on speake. We’re going out soon. But I’m starving. I need to grab a bite before he gets here.” Sharry replied. “Let’s go downstairs for breakfast. I’ll make us up some pancakes.” Her mom said. “Awesome mom! Thanks. I’ll be down in five. I’m just going to get dressed.” Said Sharry. “Okay honey, see you in a few minutes.” Her mom kissed her on the cheek, then closed her door and went back downstairs.

Sharry flopped back onto her bed, so relieved that her mom hadn’t seen Jake in all his beautiful Angel glory!! “You need to show up at the front door in about 15 minutes or so, then no one will suspect a thing,” Sharry said to Jake. “Sure!” He said, “see you in a few!!”About 15 minutes later, as Sharry was finishing her pancakes, the doorbell rang. Sharry opened the door and Jake stepped in, no longer obviously looking like an Angel, but still looking as hot as ever. “Mom!” Sharry yelled, “I’m going out with Jake.” They went outside and shut the door. 

“Okay, now let’s get somewhere more comfortable. Where we can talk uninterrupted. Privately.” Jake said.  Then he scooped her up into his arms and he Started. To. FLY!! “Oh. My. Goodness! I’m going to be sick!! I can’t open my eyes!!” “It’s okay”, Jake said, in a calm and collected manner. Here she was. Freaking Out!!! And Jake was calmly smiling at her. “Where are we going? Where are you taking me? Please don’t drop me!” Sharry hollered! “Don’t worry. We’re almost there.” Jake smiled. “Here we go.” he said. Then, oh so carefully, he gently set her down on the most comfortable down duvet she had ever felt. He held onto her for a moment, to make sure she was secure, then sat down beside her. He leaned back and Sharry looked around. When she saw where she was, she started screaming uncontrollably! “Shhh…Shhh…Shhh…!” He said. “You’re perfectly safe! These clouds are strong and could hold up your entire family! If they were Angels of course!” “Gee’ All two of us??” Sharry said. “How comforting!” They both shared a nervous laugh. 

“Sooo…”Sharry said,”Did I ever tell you that I’m afraid of heights??” “It’s something you’re going to have to work on hon. Sorry to say it, but it’s the truth Shar.” Jake replied. “That’s why I didn’t tell you where we were going, I thought you might freak out a bit.”  “Actually, it’s beautiful up here. It’s like I’m dreaming!” She whispered lying back carefully. “Just don’t you dare leave me up here. Please! Not even as a joke!! Like I’m pretty sure Michael would! He’d probably think something like that was funny!” “Of course not!”he exclaimed! “Sharry. I love you!” He said “Everything that I have done, has been done to protect you!  With someone like Lucifer after you…well. It was time for Michael to let you know. He saw that I wasn’t doing it and it needed to be done and he was right. You needed to know the truth. So that we can train you and protect you and keep you safe. And so that you can learn to protect yourself!” Jake looked serious, “Michael was right in telling you, I waited too long. He’s not really that bad. He is just direct and,” he nudged her, “he’s certainly not used to people standing up to him or talking back.” They laughed again. “So, I’m trying not to freak out, but can you please tell me why we aren’t falling right through this cloud??” Sharry asked. “To be honest,” Jake said, “I don’t really know why.  It’s something to do with being Angels, we automatically almost float or something. It’s difficult to put into words. Humans would fall right through!!” “What!!” Sharry shrieked, “then why am I staying?” “It’s one of the tests.” He said, “remember, you’re half Angel!” “A test?!” She yelled, “this was a test!! Oh my goodness!!What if I failed?? Would I have fallen Jake??!” Jake just smiled and calmly said, “I would have caught you. Remember, when I first sat you down I was holding you. I was waiting to be sure you were staying put before I let you go. It’s a good sign Shar, if you’re able to stay on top of the cloud, you can probably fly.” Sharry just laughed, “one little problem that you and Michael seem to keep overlooking, I Don’t Have Wings!!”
