â€So Bella what brings you here?â€ Her father said over dinner. He scooped up some chicken into his mouth as he watched Elizabeth eat like she hadnâ€™t eaten in years, In fact that was completely true, she couldnâ€™t eat in Heaven, they had no need to have food up there so no one ate. She always over indulged herself when se was on earth. She smiled at her dad and swallowed before she answered his question.<br/><br/>â€œWell you guys remember the daemon I was tracking a few years ago? Heâ€™s resurfaced again. I donâ€™t really know what he is up to but ever since I have been assigning people to his case heâ€™s been offing themâ€¦ well technically we canâ€™t say that itâ€™s him because we really donâ€™t know that. I get the hunch though that heâ€™s been attacking my angels and killing them in some pretty gruesome ways. Just a few weeks ago Joshua came back with a huge scar but he doesnâ€™t know how it happened. It really worries me.â€ She sighed softly and pushed the peas around her plate.<br/><br/>â€œElizabeth, You know you are welcome here as long as it takes.â€ Her mother said bustling back to the kitchen to get more food. â€œBut youâ€™ll eat us out of house and home before you leave.â€ Her mother laughed softly and shook her head as the doors to the kitchen swung shut behind her.<br/><br/>â€œSo heâ€™s been offing your soldiers huh?â€ Her dad asked looking at her as she slowed down her eating.<br/>â€œYeah but the problem is that we donâ€™t know he is doing it. I mean to have to recollection of anything that happened to you is really really rare. Sounds to me like some weird hoodoo thatâ€™s going on and I donâ€™t like it one bit.â€ She said shaking her head a bit aggressively strands flying around her face. It was something that bothered her a lot. How could something erase a memory? She didnâ€™t want to tell her parentâ€™s the worst part though, she knew it would worry them, but sometimes the angels that came back had no memory of their life as an angel or their lives as humans. It was as if they had been turned human for real, and had to be specially tuned to make sure they remembered whom they were. Thatâ€™s why she came down; she was the big dog when it came to releasing troops, right below the big man himself. Not many angels could say that so she took it as a compliment he chose her even if she didnâ€™t really have a choice.<br/><br/>After dinner they spent a little family time together, catching up with one another and Elizabeth learned a little bit of the new world around her. She had to be caught up on cellphones and Internet and a computer. Her mother handed her a simple phone with a slide out keyboard and told her she could use it to call and type on, send text messages to others out there but Elizabeth knew she wasnâ€™t going to use it much. This family was wonderful to her and she was lucky to have them. After family time Elizabeth wandered to her bedroom and adjusted her dream catcher. She always had one above her bed, to â€œcatch the bad dreams.â€ She yawned and fell asleep almost right away. Her dreams were haunted with the man who she was hunting, the ting that she would have to come face to face with. She tossed and turned until just before Dawn.<br/><br/>Elizabeth woke up in a cold sweat; her hair and blankets sticking to her body all she could remember from her dreams were white teeth coming at her. She wandered into the shower and stood under the hot water. After a long hot shower the sun was just peeking through the windows. She slipped on a tank top and jeans and traced the scars on her collarbone. She hoped these were the only ones she needed to have. Downstairs she turned on the television just to hear a knock on the door. She looked at the clock and was a little puzzled. Who could be knocking at this time in the morning? She got up and walked to the door after pulling her long auburn hair off of her face.<br/><br/>â€œHello there?â€ She asks flinging the door open smiling brightly at the stranger standing in front of her.
