doesn’t trace us here. Remind me to stop and pick up a printer and paper so I can get to work on it when we get back.”
    Erin turned the Jeep around and pulled back out onto the main road. It only took a few more minutes before they arrived at the outlet center in the middle of town. They pulled into a space in front of Bob’s Electronics and climbed out of the car.
    Jenna followed her inside and browsed the aisles while her mom picked out a printer.
    “Jenna, come here,” her mom called from two aisles over.
    Jenna made her way over to her mom to see her looking at the pre-paid cell phones.
    “Which one would you like?” Erin asked. “I think it’s important we always have a way to contact each other, especially when you start school. I checked into it and these phones can’t be traced, and are cheap enough to throw out once a month and get a new one just to be safe.”
    “You’ve thought of everything haven’t you?” Jenna scanned the cell phones then settled on a simple red flip phone.
    “I’ll get the blue one and get Alex a black one that way we won’t get them mixed up.” Her mom put the phones in the cart along with three calling cards then headed for the checkout.
    After putting the bags in the back of the Jeep, they headed for Lilies Town . “Come on, I think you could use some new clothes to replace your old ones.” Her mom opened the door for her to enter the store that centered on teen apparel and accessories.
    “Mom, are you sure we can afford this? I know you can’t be making that much at the diner,” Jenna whispered as they walked into the store.
    “You don’t need to worry about money, Jenna. The job at the diner is just for show. We have plenty of money hidden away. You didn’t think your father would leave us struggling did you?”
    “Mom,” Jenna stopped and hesitated for a moment before she continued. “Can I ask you a question, about dad?”
    “Sure, honey, you can ask me anything.” Her mom guided her over to a clothing rack filled with shirts.
    Jenna glanced around to make sure no one was close enough to hear their conversation. “I understand that being a girl Nephilim is rare, but how come he had to leave us because of it. Alex told me his father raised him until he was called back to heaven.”
    “Your dad wanted you to have a normal life. He was afraid that when the angels found out you were a girl they would insist on raising you to ensure you’re loyalty to heaven.”
    Jenna pulled a blue shirt with a pink peace sign on it off the rack and looped it over her arm. “What do you mean loyalty to heaven? Why wouldn’t I choose to be good?”
    “He was worried that once the angels knew about you that Lucifer would find out and he would be sure to send his demons to try and turn you to the dark side. Remember Jenna, no one knows what you’ll be capable of. Each side would want to ensure that if you’re as powerful as the last female that you’re fighting on their side if a war ever erupts between good and evil. So he left to ensure you had a normal life.”
    Her mom took a shirt off the rack and showed it to her. When she scrunched her nose she put it back. “He was going to try to get the high council to let him stay and raise you. When he didn’t return, I knew the answer had been no. Your father and I discussed that if he didn’t come back I was to stay in hiding. The only thing he left behind was the journal so you would always have a piece of him with you.”
    Jenna waited for the sales girl who was returning a shirt to the rack to leave before she asked another question. “I understand, but now that the Densen Institute knows about me doesn’t that mean the angels and demons will know too?”
    “Unfortunately, they probably do. That’s why Alex is here to train you. I’m taking all the precautions I can to ensure the Angels and Demons can’t locate us.”
    Jenna forced herself to smile; but she couldn’t help but wonder how her life had come to
