Morgan’s path was destined during the war between the angels. The angels of light chose the side of God, while the dark angels were cast out of heaven. The war between good and evil moved to the Earth and was waged by the mortals. The angels of dark and light continued to fight with the assistance human intermediaries. These intermediaries would become the agents of the angels.

Morgan had always felt like she was different. Not good or bad, but somewhere in the middle. She was not a cool kid or a smart kid or a jock or a goth. She was always in the middle, average grades, average athletic ability, just… average.
Even her appearance was somewhere in the middle. Her hair wasn’t red or brown, but a mixture of both. Her eyes weren’t green or brown, but hazel. Even her skin couldn’t decide. She wasn’t fair or olive, but “medium skin tone.”
She had never fit anywhere, but could have fit everywhere. That was why, even though Clare was the person she trusted most in the world, she had to take a deep breath before tentatively knocking on his back door.
The door swung open, and there he was, with the same smile he wore that first morning of school years ago. Comfort washed over her. She fell into his arms and finally released the tears she had been holding back since the incident.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa girl… What’s all this about? We’re going to take care of you.”
Clare’s words broke through Morgan’s sobs, and she pulled back, “Wait. What? Did you say we?”
A noise from the living room caused Morgan to whirl around. A woman was standing in the doorway. She had strawberry blonde hair and the greenest eyes Morgan had ever seen.
“It’s alright. Don’t be scared.”
Morgan’s urge was to flee, but Clare’s arms tightened around her, and he nodded his reassurance.
“My name’s Dee. I’m your mother.”
I started the Morgan series back before the holidays. I’ve been wanting to return to it, but this was the first time the story has opened up enough for me to write more. If you are interested you can read part one, part two, and part three. The start of Dee’s story can be found here (just a note, the timeline on Dee’s story will be changing. It isn’t sitting right with me.).
This week’s creative writing prompt from Trifecta was the word path and the third definition was a: course, route; b: a way of life, conduct, or thought.
The prompt for Write at the Merge were the lyrics from Some Nights by Fun and/or this image:

I’d missed one. Now, I’m up to speed, and it’s like Downton Abbey. I don’t want to wait until the next one.
Well for this story you might have to wait. I have no idea what happens next.
That’s quite a twist! Sounds like this story’s about to really get into things.
I LOVE a twist!
I’ll bet Morgan is as surprised as I was!
Morgan is SHOCKED! (Unwritten back story, she was adopted, her adoptive parents were killed in an accident, and she has been in foster care.)
I was caring for Morgan, I will have to go read the first parts…
Morgan is a pretty special girl that has had a lot of loss. She needs someone to care for her.
Okay, I’m smitten. You’re good, girl!
{swoon} Thank you!
I will be back to check out the rest of the story, this has captured my interest.
Thanks. I hope you like it.
What’s gonna happen next?!
That’s a really good question. I kind of hate to admit I’m not sure. I’m so absorbed on working on the other story (Gossip) that this one isn’t coming to me as much as it used to.
Quite a revelation.. Very well-written.. I instantly warmed up to the character… you make readers care for her and about what happens to her.
Thank you.
Very interesting tale. well done!
{takes bow} Thanks!
Nice twist! Looking forward to the next installment!!
Me too… Now if I just knew what it was going to be. LOL
I would love to read more…
I would love to write more.
I could relate to Morgan’s “average-ness”. I like that line, “She had never fit anywhere, but could have fit everywhere.”
Thanks. I think a lot of people are like that.
Sounds like she just walked into something that is “good for her”.
I think so.
Nice job Jennifer! I liked the line about her have the potential to fit everywhere, too. Sometimes average isn’t the worst thing to be until you figure out where it is that you WANT to fit. The development of her mom is a twist that works, and it will be interesting to see how things unfold.

Thanks Angela. I really appreciate the constructive comment.
Interesting tale-loved the idea of a beautiful Mom suddenly appearing out of nowhere-& am curious about Clare-may be he was in the know right from the beginning -like a guardian angel?:-)
If you get a chance to read the previous part that might give you a clue. Clare’s full name is Clarence.
This sounds like a great mystery is brewing. I can’t wait to see what comes next. Nicely done.
Wow, unexpected arrival!
