    Then I got a bad feeling that Cordelia is in pain. I usually don’t fly, but I have a feeling that she needs me. When I got to her house, I notice that no car is in the driveway. I go ahead and enter. I go to her bedroom; of course, I know which one is hers from the couple of weeks I spent watching her.
    When I enter the room , I see she has passed out, and I notice a picture in her hands. I walk over to see what it is, and I can’t believe my eyes.
    “Oh. My. Goddess.” It ’s a picture of Amelia; Cordelia’s real mother. Has she found out her identity? I really hope so; I want to go home. I see a letter that is addressed to her. I pick it up and start to read it. I am completely shocked as to what I am reading. Dean, Cordelia father, wanted to come back and get her. But why? Was her father telling the truth in this letter? I need answers. Then I notice there are other pictures in the folder. I go through them. Some are of Amelia and Dean. Then I stop at one. It is one of my parents, standing beside her parents and smiling. Amelia looks pregnant, so it must be from when Cordelia was still in the womb. I fold up the photo and put it in my pocket. I decide to try to wake her, so I kneel by the bed and touch my hand to her cheek.
    “Cordelia , please wake up. It’s me, Kaleigh.”
    She starts to wake up and then rubs her eyes. “Why are you in my house? I don’t really know you.” She starts to freak out and pulls down the sleeves of her shirt.
    “I am here to help you. I am no enemy ; only a protector.”
    “Are… are you a witch also? Is my mother a witch? Why am I a mystery?” She start s to cry. I sit next to her and wrap my arms around her. I sit like that for what seems like an hour, but is probably only a few minutes.
    “Kaleigh , I’m scared,” she admits. “These people are not my parents, according to the letter.” She starts to gesture toward where the letter had been, but when she doesn’t see it there she starts to freak out again. “Where is the letter?”
    “Honey , I read it, and I’m 100% sure it is true.”
    “Wait , how do you know? Do you know my father and that horrible woman in the photo? Please, please tell me. I am already a freak at school.”
    I d on’t know what to say. This poor girl is freaking out and wants to know the truth. How can I tell her and not face the consequences? I look in this girl’s eyes and I can see myself; lost and confused.
    “Cordelia , I am your watcher. I was sent here to protect you from your mother; your real mother. She is a horrible person.”
    She turns as white as a ghost. “Wait, are you telling me I am a witch?”
    “I really don’t know what you are . Your mother was a white witch, and your father is an Angel. I have no idea if they are living. The last thing I knew was that your mother was a powerful dark witch, living in the dark part of Ithaca, and your father was on the run, but that was five years ago.”
    She stops me from further explanation. “Why would he run?”
    “Well , because he lied to everyone by saying that The Old Ones killed you, because he didn’t want you to be with your mother. So my parents teamed up with your father to protect you from your mother. Sadly, because of my parents’ rebellion, they were murdered by The Old Ones.”
    “Old Ones?”
    “They run Ithaca, our home planet. They’re immortal. They choose your fate, whether you are a watcher and so forth. My fate was chosen because of my parents. I once was a pure angel. As a punishment, I was made into a fallen angel. I will never love again. I am cursed. I am to watch over teens that are in line to be an angel or white witches, like you.”
    “So , Cameron is an angel?”
    “He is a fallen angel. He has the same fate as me. If he was to fall in love, The Old Ones would murder him. It’s a painful death. I’ve seen it for myself.”
    Cordelia stands up and starts to pace the floor. “So, all of this is my fault? Your parents are dead,
