Intro to Tabitha

I have been raised in this temple all of my life.  I was told that I was the one sent from heaven to protect this world.  I also know that I wasn't the only one.  I know that I have a twin sister that if I ever come in contact with, she will be the one who will destroy the world.  That is why at birth we had to be separated.  My sister doesn't know anything about me, but they had to tell me in case I ever came across my sister and that if she should change to destroy the world. I would have no choice but to stop her. 

                        My name is Tabitha and I was sent from heaven.  I am an angel and a protector.  When we were born, we were immediately separated from each other.  They said that the moment we came into the world that there were signs that if we stayed together the world would either end or be saved.  They couldn't let that happen.  The Guardians as they call themselves convinced our parents to get rid of us.  My sister went to an orphanage and I went to The Guardians Temple to live.  I sometimes wonder what happened to my sister but I know that trying to go out and find her would be the end of everyone and everything.

                        I'm in my room getting ready to leave for college.  Even though The Guardians don't want me to go, but I think it is the best thing. 

                        “I wish you weren't leaving us, “says Sister Anna as she is helping me pack the rest of my things.

                        “I know, but I think that this will be good for me.  I have to know that there is more to my life than just what I know from being here,” I say smiling at the old nun that pretty much raised me.

                        Sister Anna was the nun that took charge of me when I came here as an infant.  She sort of was a mother to me.  She was there when I spoke my first word, and took my first step.  Heck she's the one who taught me how to drive.  She has always been there for me and protected me.  Now I don't know what is going to happen when I leave this place and discover who I can be for the rest of my life.

                        “But what happens if you run into her,” Sister Anna asks concerned tone in her voice.

                        “I'll be fine.  What are the odds that I will run into my twin sister? I don't even know what she looks like,” I said laughing.

                        “You never know,” she said folding the last of my clothes.

                        I just look over at her and smile at her.

                        “Don't worry.  I'll be fine,” I said giving her a hug.

                        “Hard to believe that tomorrow you will be leaving us tomorrow,” Sister Anna says wiping a tear from her eyes.

                        “Don't cry.  I'll be back before you know it,” I said giving her another hug.

                        “I know, still hard to believe that you are grown up now,” she says heading to the door to my room. “Dinner will be ready in an hour.  I'll make you favorite tonight.”

                        “Your homemade Stromboli and sauce?” I asked excitedly.

                        “Yes with homemade peach cobbler for dessert,” she says smiling.

                        “YES,” I say doing a little dance around the room while Sister Anna laughs.
