"The whole family is one chromosome away from being a group of apes."

"Shut the hell up, before I come over there, and make it impossible to tell the difference between your face, and a pile of horse crap! Not that I'd have to do much work,"Sophie cried.

This battle between Sophie, and her classmate, Jonas had been going on since he had found a picture of her mother, Penelope Morgan , and her father, Derek Morgan online. He brought it in to show the whole class. Their teacher was always ten minutes late to class, so he was no help in breaking up the argument.

"How dare you talk to your superiors like that! Your whole family is headed straight for hell. Cross breeding has no other place,"the boy preached.

Sometimes Sophie would consider trying to befriend him. He was only repeating what he had been taught as a child. Then he would make another comment like that, and any chance he had of getting on her good side was gone.

She was about to show him exactly what hell was like when her younger sister, Lily put a hand on her shoulder.

"Sophie, leave it alone. He's not worth it,"she said in a soft, yet commanding voice,"please, not today."

Lily was originally placed in a less advanced computer class, but she had picked up the skill so easily during her first week, that her teacher had to have her transfer classes.

Sophie sighed, and sat down in a nearby seat.

"That's right, girl,"Jonas said, while deciding to push his luck,"listen to your sister. You know, she may be a mutt, but she's not half ugly, considering her gene pool. She might be able to find a nice pimp, who needs a bitch."

Within a second, Sophie, had knocked him down, and was punching him in the face.

"Sophie stop! Let him up,"Lily said,"mom, and dad are working a case right now. Do you really want to interrupt them?"

Sophie knew Lily was right. If she got in trouble, then the school would call her parents, and her mom would have to leave work.

They had already had to fight to prevent being placed in separate teams. Their boss had argued that they had been able to put aside their feelings in the past, and agent Penelope Morgan wasn't a field agent.

Sophie got up, and silently thanked God, that everyone else in the classroom hated Jonas, and that there were no security cameras in the classes.

Sophie got up, and returned to her chair. Jonas, also got up, and kept his mouth shut.

The teacher walked into the room, and told the students to return to their projects from the day before. The rest of the school day was uneventful. There were only two class periods left.

When school was over, they both walked home.

Their parents were hesitant at first to let them walk home alone, but their house was less than a block away, and Derek made sure, that both the girls knew what to do if they were ever attacked.

They were walking side by side, when Lily spoke up,"you shouldn't have hit him. What if you had been caught? You could've been kicked out of school,or arrested. What if he had fought back?"

"I don't care,"Sophie replied,"and you shouldn't either. That punk has been talking about us since the day he first came to school. Last week he said that dad knocked mom up, yesterday he said that he raped mom, and today he said we were all monkeys. I tried to let that one go, but then that jackass called you a bitch."

"I know, but he never knew anything different from what his parents believed. He was homeschooled until this year. Cut him some slack. He might change."

"No, Lily he won't change. Bad people don't change. They just lie to make you think that they have,"Sophie said bitterly.

"I wish you didn't believe that,"Lily said.

They walked in silence, until they got to their house. Sophie stopped in her tracks when she saw the door was slightly ajar.

"Lily, did you lock the door this morning?"she said in almost a whisper.

"Yeah,or at least I think I did."

Sophie reached for her phone, and sighed,"damn, I forgot. My phone went off in algebra. My teacher took it away. What about yours?"

"Mine's dead. My charger got stolen from my locker last week, remember."

"Right,"Sophie said.

She contemplated going inside, and then said,"I'm going in. You stay out here, and count to a hundred. If I'm not back by then go next door and ask to call the police. If you hear me scream then go get help."

Sophie, slowly went inside. She knew which floor boards would creek if stepped on. She went to the kitchen, and got a knife. Then she searched the house. She went upstairs. She checked every room, and closet. She was checking her parents room, when she was pulled into the closet. Her knife was yanked from her hand, and a needle was being plunged into her neck. Before she was knocked out she heard her sister screaming from the outside.
