1. Chapter 1

Here's the first chapter- I'd love a couple of reviews!

Some people say that they are a completely different person around different people. I guess it's true-my best friend Lissa, who is a Psychology graduate, would argue that we change our behavior to fit in with the group we're surrounded by. It's a pretty natural thing to do, and loads of people do it.

They've got nothing on me.

My name is Rose Hathaway and I lead the ultimate double life. By first impressions I've got it pretty good-great friends, awesome job-not to mention I live smack bang in the middle of New-freakin'-York, the greatest city on earth (in my humble opinion) But there is a darker side to me, one that comes out as the sun goes down, a side only to be revealed once I can hide behind the thick dusk of night. Y'see, I'm a spy. Rather, I was. Before the 21st of October, 2008 (nearly four years ago) in central Russia. Before the horrible accident that framed me as a mole and cost me my job, my friends and the life I treasured. I don't know who framed me, but since that day I've been working on it. My agency stabbed me in the back, captured me and would have killed me if I hadn't managed to escape. I fled to the Big Apple, knowing I could easily lose myself there and figuring I could start a new life for myself. By pure chance I was reunited with my biological father, Abe Mazur, a wealthy (and shady) stockbroker. I've never given him the details of what happened, but I'm sure he's guessed it was something bad.

So now, I live in one of the tallest buildings in the centre of New York, teaching at the New York Academy for Dance. I teach classical ballet, music and art-the complete opposite of who I was before, but that's the point. I have it good-literally the best of both worlds. Eventually, I know that they'll catch me. I know they want me back badly-I know far too much, I'm a threat. But what they didn't anticipate is that I want them, as well. They burned me in the worst way possible. They'll pay, oh yes they will. Come hell or high tide, they'll pay for what they've done to me.

So when they come for me, I'll be ready.

Did y'all like it? What do you think of Rose's double life? Sorry if my story seemed OOC, this is my first VA fanfiction! Review!
