Chapter 1

In this world, I don't fully understand the destiny that I've been given. 

God when he saw a rebellion starting to rise he decided to no longer create angels but to create humans. There was a war when Morning Star son of the dawn God's archangel's and closest follower. But Morningstar Betrayed God and took with him 2/3 of the angels to earth in the space known as the 3rd heaven. 

Meanwhile, the humans on earth must face their trials in order to enter heaven as the new angels. While some humans live out their journey as normal. Some humans are chosen as Waymakers they are given divine power to protect humans from the spiritual Realm guiding them down the path of good. 

I barely started to understand my job and adapt things for us, we were about to take a dramatic change.

- Childhood memory -

Hey Kaysi, are you ready to fight the boys?

Tiff, "You know it! I shouted back at her, don't let them take base!"

{Tiff, the Angel Scouts leader} A team of mainly girls and two boys. Ryan and Bo.

"Kaysi, you keep them distracted." "I will lead the girls to their base." 

"Got it, boss; they won't know what hit them!"

Recess was constantly changing the same routine: to chase the boys, tag them with our cooties, and gain points until the bell rang. There were loud screaming kids on the playground as they chased each other—others guarding the bases of our territories.

For us, the girl's team, the base was the monkey bars. For the boys, it was the giant slides in the middle of the playground. They outnumbered us; there was more of them than us.

Side note: Cootie- A child is said to "catch" cooties through any form of bodily contact, proximity, or touching of an "infected" person or from a person of the opposite gender typically.

"Tag got you, Josh." "That is one point for the girls." "How do you like about that, Clayton?"

{The Leader of the Evil Soldiers} The boys-only group.

"Circle circle dot dot, now I got my cootie shot!"

What is that, cootie shot?

"Sorry, not sorry, but now I can't be infected by cooties now."

"Wha…? Dang, what do we do?" The boys have a new form of defense now.

"Danielle, never fear. I got it; I have a weapon of my own!"

What is that, Danielle asked?!"

A Super cootie: a smooch from a kiss landed right on the cheek! It's like a freeze ray; you will be locked in place and turned to stone.

"He-he, that's so crazy it might just work. Go for it, Kaysi!"

Target locked. SMOOCH straight shot on the cheek.

"Wha ha ha..." I laughed.

"Oh man," "Men, I am going down, he shouted as he fell to the ground and wiped his face. Now I got to go burn my face!"

"For Laughing out loud, B.J., you don't have to be so dramatic." Looks like we just won the base!

"I guess this is a win for ourselves now," Tiff said jokingly.

Clayton's Jaw dropped. " That was a good counter. "I could have never  have predicted that." So, whose ideas was this, he asked?

"That was Kaysi's idea, Tiff said."

"Then I think maybe she should let her take over leadership from here on."

"I agree with you, Clayton."

No way, what the heck? "I am not going to be a leader!"

"Why not Kaysi?" "Give me one good reason!?"

"Wait, what I can't; that is your job."Tiff!

"Let's see here, Kaysi. You have led us to many victories, and we have you as our secret weapon."

"I am still not doing it; end of story!"

"Dang."

"So, about that," "Secret weapon," "I am okay with it. But the new rule is you can only use that twice per game." Clayton said, butting in and interrupting our victory celebration!

"What? Fine, but you can only give yourself the shot once a game."

"Okay, then." I need to add one more rule: " You're only frozen until someone gets you out."

That's Fair," Now let's go!"

Tiff said, "I just wanted to let you know that I believe you are gorgeous and have long hair like that one anime girl." "Also, I still think you could lead."

"Oh, you mean meatball head," I said, trying to ignore the other part of what she said.

"Yep, that's one."

"Thanks, but no", hah-aha…Did Tiff "really" need to say that? I thought.

RING...."Well, we will pick this up tomorrow. But not everything plays out the same way you're used to, just with the new rules."

RING the school goes off…

"Kaysi….Kaysi, are you good? Snap out of it?"

"Yeah, Beck, I am okay I said after waking up." I had fallen asleep on my desk.

My first year of middle school wasn't too horrible, at least, I can't say. I met my friend Becky, who was my first friend in this new school.

I lost touch with my other friends after a big move in the summer. Our family had to move cause they were turning the homes in the area into more dorms for the college.

At first, I thought going into middle school would be fun. I couldn't have been more wrong.

My new friends tried to help me. Becky was my first friend. She was clumsy and Energetic and had pretty long, curly red hair.

She used glasses off and on. Her favorite color was light blue, like ice. She was very musical with her violin.

She took care of that thing like it was a baby. Her mom invested her money into it, and they were pretty rich.

My next friend was Micah. She knew Beck back in elementary. She was bubbly, but she could also be quiet and focused. She was very talented and was super intelligent.

She won the spelling bee and liked to read mysteries

She had medium straight caramel-colored brown hair. She also loved magical colors like the orange in a sunset.

Middle school was hard because I was a bit of a nerd; I had glasses at the time and got bullied a lot. I had long, dark chocolate-brown hair that was always messy. 

Until my mom thought cutting my hair to my shoulders would be brilliant.

I was mad at her, but I loved my hair.

It darkened later in the years.

Some kids had it more challenging than others, being raised on the poor side of town. I also didn't have the best upbringing and got into trouble through occasional bad choices.

One of them was picking fights with bullies when I would stand up for others. I should have kept to myself, but I couldn't help it.

In the first year, I tried to make friends with everyone. But it's not like elementary school.  Sometimes you can't make friends with everybody.

A girl once bloodied my nose just for talking to her boyfriend. I didn't know who he was. I didn't even know who she was at first.

The bullying was due to some of my unique abilities. Being different drew some unwanted attention to me.  

I could see and hear demons. They were controlling some of the kids.

I could see the demons attached to them. At the time, I didn't know what I could do, so I tried to help them.

I wasn't alone... Becky could hear them, although she couldn't see them. Yet she kept that to herself in fear of ending up like me. I couldn't blame her.

Just as things couldn't have gotten worse, demons were everywhere. Their numbers began to increase. No one had a clue. I could barely get my schoolwork done.

When Physical Education came, we heard a girl screaming from downstairs in the gymnasium locker room. The demon started doing things like moving items.

The girls came running up the stairs and said the locker doors slammed shut themselves. Strange hauntings like this were ordinary from time to time.

They just brushed it off as the occasional regular ghostly haunting. But they were too scared to return to finish getting dressed.

The Gym teacher had to step in and go looking downstairs. He had claimed it was nothing more than a mouse. But we all knew what we had seen and heard.

At first, I could hear spirits, but only in dreams when they came to me. In a dream, a monster rose from my bed sheets one night.

I woke up crying and told myself that not all was as it seemed. There had to be more.

I encouraged myself to be strong and brave and go back to sleep. In my dream, ripping the blankets from the bed, I discovered a tape recorder playing the message "check the basement" over and over.

I believe it was a spirit trying to contact me. I went down to the basement and found an old pocket watch. Was this what he was trying to tell me? Was he stuck in limbo, contacting me the only way he could?

I took the watch and said a little prayer. Then, I buried it in the ground. After that, I must have done something right; no more sounds or dreams were haunting me.

When I woke up the next day, I told Becky about everything that had happened in my dreams the day before and what I had done when I had woken.

"Wow, that is incredible. You must be getting stronger in your abilities and gaining some new power.

I started being more of a target for evil and confused spirits. Some wanted help, and some just wanted to be seen. I didn't know what I could do for some of them. I tried to help, but it was overwhelming and exhausting. Also, I had to study, and my grades were slipping.

I decided to ignore them for now.

Then, one day, a boy pushed me into the lockers, knocking my books out of my hand. Thump... went my books as they hit the floor. I could see he was being controlled by something, but I couldn't make it out.

I had not fully awakened my powers to the spirit realm, and I still did not know some things.

My eyes were wide, and I was afraid of what was coming next as he stood there pinning me and growling with his eyes blazing red.
