Andy had not been around much since Louis had walked into camp with his stomach slit open. He was mostly with Coma and Jake planing what to do next. Were they retaliating? I didn't know. Esther had been acting strange and I knew she still had a secret she wasn't telling me. I had confronted her about it this week already when she set a non-flamable wet rag on fire right after Zain had come to say that being friends wasn't working for him and he wanted to go back to being strangers. She had again told me to leave well enough alone. But I couldn't.

"Esther?" I asked seeing her walk through the front door after work.

She turned to acknowledge my presence. She set down her jacket and when I had brought up the question that I had been asking for weeks she responded with a shocking answer.

"Would you tell everyone a secret that you aren't even supposed to know? Would you shout to the world a secret that even F.E.A.R himself wouldn't expose?"

I didn't know how to answer so I just stood in the kitchen waiting her a rhetorical question to answer itself.

When it did not she spoke up again after a long sigh "I want to tell you, believe me I do. But I can't.

"What will it hurt? You know that I won't tell a soul whatever godforsaken secret you're keeping!"

"I'm not human!" My mouth dropped open.

Was she...one of F.E.A.R.s demons? Was that why she wouldn't tell me? Was that why even after all of this she still wanted stay at Camp W? Did F.E.A.R. Send her to spy on Andy to watch him ruin his kingdom? She sighed after a long pause and I'm sure a scared look ran across my face.

"Don't worry, I'm not a demon." What did that prove? "I'm...better."

"Better how?" I asked after another long silence.

"I'm from the opposite of hell." I gave her a questioning look and she spoke up again. "I'm an angel, well a fallen angel." Was she serious? "Remember when my house burnt down?" After a slow nod on my part she continued with the story. "My parents had found out that I wasn't a normal child. So they looked into it. They asked people if I had a disease or something worse. When they discovered that the little baby they found wondering around the desert was actually a fallen angel they threatened me to kill myself or they would tell F.E.A.R. I couldn't let that happen. Even at a young age I knew F.E.A.R. would use me as a weapon. So I fought back. I...I set everything around me on fire and watched them burn. It didn't hurt me because well I can't die that easily."

What was she telling me? Was our whole lives together a lie? I refused to believe anything she was telling me. "Why did you do that?"

"I was protecting you. I couldn't leave you alone with no one. After your family died that's when the new girl came to camp, right? Well I felt that you needed me."

I didn't know how to respond to anything she was saying. I found the couch and sat down slowly bot wanting my knees to give out on me.

"That's why I wanted to move camps. F.E.A.R. had found out that a fallen angel was living so near to him and he wanted it. I think that's why there were so many death threats and close calls on both of our lives. F.E.A.R. knows I'm here."

"Does that mean you're in trouble?" I asked. That was really all I got from this whole conversation.

"Not at the moment." I put my head in my hands wishing I had never pushed her to tell me.

"This is why I didn't want to tell you."

"I have to tell Andy." I said standing up and heading toward the door.

"No! You can't!" She screamed blocking the door.

"He deserves to know why all these things are happening in his camp!" I screamed back.

"You told me you wouldn't tell a soul." She seemed almost hurt instead of scared now.
I stepped back scared if why F.E.A.R. would use her for a weapon if she didn't have any weapons up her sleeve. Her face dropped, "I would never hurt you."

"He still needs to know..." I said, I felt my stomach tighten and I ran to the nearest trash bag. I quickly vomited everything that I had eaten in the last day.

It could have been from the screaming match or the realization that my best friend was an angel but whatever it was it didn't agree with my stomach. I let Esther comfort me knowing that she was till my best friend and nothing could change that. I had never had a week stomach before. Even seeing that guys stomach contents all over the found didn't get me nauseous. But whatever I just went threw it sure got to me some how.

I left Esther's house and walked back home trying to figure out how I was going to keep such a big secret from Andy. I walkes in and flopped down on our bed. Soon after I felt Andy lay beside me. He moved a strand of hair from my face.

"Long day?" He asked pecking my lips.

"Yeah, something like that."
