One two three
I run as fast as my legs will carry me jumping over every obstacles in my way, shooting every target.
I flip over one of the obstacles before turning and hitting the moving target.
I hear someone clapping from across the room.
"Not bad, Elle." Bennett's compliments without emotion.
"Good enough to become an agent?"
"You know that's not my decision." He reminds me.
I grit my teeth.
"I've been training since I was seven years old. I'm ready." I tell him.
"Your father wants to talk to you." he says ignoring me.
My chest tightens.
Dad rarely talks to me in person, he usually sends Bennett or another agent or guard. Am I in trouble?
"Okay." I agree.
I sit outside my Dads office plaiting part of my hair.
I have trouble keeping still. I'm always playing with my hair, or something else to keep my hands busy. it's one of the reasons I love training so much, I need to get rid of all my extra energy.
"Your father is ready to see you." His assistant tells me wearily.
She's afraid of me like the others. They all think I'll end up like the people downstairs.
I walk into his office ignoring her.
I walk into the room to see my father sitting at his desk wearing his usual suit and cold expression.
"Elle, I've been meaning to talk to you about an upcoming mission." He says looking up from his papers.
A mission? He's actually going to send me out into the field.
I'm seventeen years old. I haven't left this building in ten years.
"We've found a boy we suspect to have abilities at a high school in New York. You will go undercover at his school and watch him." My father explains.
I feel like jumping up and down and squealing but I restrain myself.
"Why don't you just bag and tag him?" I ask.
He sighs "He's a special case. He's been involved in several events that don't add up, over the years." He explains vaguely.
"I won't disappoint you." I promise.
"You better not. You are dismissed."
I nod and leave the room grinning.
I'm finally leaving the base.
Amanda looks me up and down as if I'm a pair of shoes she's considering buying.
"And what is your name?" she asks.
Amanda is in charge of prepping me for the assignment.
"Ella King." I reply.
"Where are you from?"
"Me and my Dad just moved from Boston because he got a promotion at his accounting firm." I repeat flawlessly.
"Remember, his name is Percy Jackson, he's a junior at Goode high school. You must get close to him and discover whether he has abilities and what they are." She reminds me before applying another coat of mascara to my eyes.
The reflection in the mirror is unfamiliar.
My long blonde hair falls down my shoulders and eyes outlining my face and flawless skin. My electric blue eyes outlined with thick eyeliner and mascara and my lips slightly tinted red.
Amanda taught me how to do my makeup and hair so I blend in with the other girls.
"Remember no using your abilities." Amanda reminds me.
"I remember." I say twisting one of my rings.
She sighs "Mr Bennett will be listening to everything through a listening device in your earring."
One of us and one of them. I'm stuck with Bennett.
Bennett is one of the agents that raised me but we were never close. I think I remind him of what his daughter would be like if he let the company near her.
I don't understand what would be so tragic about that. I turned out completely fine.
"ELLE!" Amanda yells at me.
"Sorry what were you saying?"
She sighs. "Once you reach your temporary base you will report back to us, understand?
I nod.
"It's time. Report to Bennett he'll be in charge for the rest of the mission."
I leave the room with my suit case of clothes and make up I'll need and walk upstairs to the paper factory which is usually off limits for me.
My heart feels like it's about to explode.
"Elle, you ready?" Bennett asks standing by the doors.
"Definitely." I say with a grin following him outside.
The car ride is a nightmare. I hate having to stay still for long periods of time.
I stare out the window at the people living their normal lives completely oblivious to the abilities people have.
"How much longer to New York?" I ask.
"Twenty six hours." He answers.
"SERIOUSLY?" I whine impatiently.
"We're driving to the other side of the country. We're not going to get there in an hour." He sighs
"Well they didn't really cover much geography in my tutoring." I grumble.
They only taught me the basics I'd need for missions. I don't need to know any more I just need to know how to kill.
He ignores me.
I open my window and aim my fingers like a gun at a random citizen walking down the street, electricity shoots out of my finger right into the stranger.
"ELLE!' Bennett yells.
"What it won't kill them" I grumble lighting up my hand with sparks.
He glares at me and I put it out
I huff and turn on the radio.
Some horrible modern music starts playing which Bennett turns off immediately.
"Silence then." I mutter.
When we get to the safe house I want to explore town but Bennett makes me stay inside as he sets up for the mission.
I go to my room and unpack.
The room is simple. Crème walls and carpet with a bed a drawers but it's still something different to my grey and metal room at the base.
I jump up and down squealing.
The next day
As soon as I walk into the school everyone's eyes are on me.
Is there something wrong with my outfit?
I look down at my long sleeve red shirt which clings to my perfect curves and reveals just the right amount of cleavage as well as faded skinny jeans and brown heel boots.
Most of the boys and a couple girls check me out while the rest of the girls whisper and laugh at me.
I feel the urge to send a thousand volts of electricity at those spoiled bitches but I remember Amanda's warning. No powers.
I ignore them and lock my eyes on my target. Percy Jackson stood on the other side of the hallway talking to some girl with crazy red hair and paint splattered clothes, neither of them pay any attention to me.
"I still can't believe you're back." He says to her happily.
"You really expected me to not get kicked out of that school? I don't exactly fit in at Clarion Ladies Academy." She says in a fake posh accent.
I pretend to be looking at my schedule and bump into them.
Percy catches me easily.
"Careful, you almost ran me over." He laughs.
I pretend to look embarrassed.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." I apologize picking up my stuff.
"It's okay." The red head says helping me.
"I'm Rachel, this is Percy. What's your name?" she asks me with a warm smile.
"I'm Ella. I'm new." I lie pretending to be shy.
"Nice to meet you Ella. What do you have first?" Percy asks me.
"Um… English with Mr Blofis." I say checking my schedule.
"Sweet, we have him too. He's actually my Step Dad." Percy admits.
"I wonder why you didn't take the name." Rachel mutters sarcastically.
"I get enough crap from Leo without the irony of my last name being Blowfish."
"Are you a swimmer or something?" I ask.
He smile "Or something."
"Perhaps he has water related abilities." Bennetts voice rings in my ear.
My chest tightens at the thought of water. I don't know why but I've always been terrified of it.
Rachel hits him.
"Speaking of swimming I have PE second and we're swimming." He says with a grin.
"I check my timetable which I know is almost identical to his.
SHIT SHIT SHIT
"Same." I admit.
I feel like I'm going to be sick… maybe I can get out of it.
"Awesome." He cheers.
"I uh don't have anything for swimming." I say.
It's not a lie. Amanda did pack me a bikini but I left it at the base.
"It's okay you can borrow one of mine, I brought a spare. We look about the same size." Rachel reassures me.
Oh crap.
"Um okay." I say nervously.
"Stay focused, Elle." Bennett reminds me.
How does he know about my fear of water?
The bell rings in my ear.
"That's our cue." Percy says and we head to class.
A girl with blonde hair and an obvious fake tan walks over to us leaning over to show off her cleavage.
"Hey, Percy." She flirts.
"Uh, Hi Kate." He says awkwardly.
"Ignoring me as always?" Rachel chides in.
Kate rolls her eyes "Still hanging around Percy hoping he'll go out with you?" she asks Rachel.
"Nope, some of us have standards." Rachel replies.
I laugh.
"HEY!" Percy complains.
Rachel rolls your eyes and ignores him.
"Plus he has a girlfriend." Rachel point out.
Too bad. He's cute.
"Please, we all know that's just what he says to let girls down easily." Kate dismisses.
"Are boys always lying to avoid going out with you?" I ask bitchily.
Percy and Rachel crack up laughing.
"Who the hell are you supposed to be?" She asks blushing angrily.
"I'm Ella. I'm new." I say innocently.
Before she can reply a middle aged man with longish salt-and-pepper hair enters the classroom. "Morning class."
"Morning Mr Blofis." The class replies.
"Does everyone have their copy of To Kill a Mockingbird?" he asks the class.
"I don't." I say.
Great reading. Why did I want to go to school again?
I've always had trouble reading. A lot of the letters appear backwards or mixed around. I was always afraid if I tell anyone. My Dad would be disappointed in me.
"Ah a new student. What's your name?" he asks.
"I'm Ella King." I lie.
"It's nice to meet you Ella. You can get a copy of the book at lunch, but until then I'm sure Percy would be happy to share his with you." He says looking over to his step son.
Percy does a mock salute, which Rachel rolls her eyes at.
I move closer to Percy, and try to read the page but it makes no sense to me.
"Shit." I mutter.
"Can't you read it?" he whispers?
"No." I admit.
"Neither. I'm dyslexic." He tells me.
"Dyslexia is a condition that makes it difficult to read or interpret words." Bennett explains through my earring.
I had forgotten he was listening.
"I think I am too." I say playing with my ring.
He shares a look with Rachel I don't understand.
"Percy, Ella. Are you reading the book?" Mr Blofis asks.
"Of course, Paul. You know what an amazing student I am." Percy says with a grin.
Mr Blofis sighs and decides to drop it.
Next class
I look at myself in the bathroom mirror.
Rachel's bikini in a bit big but it fits. It's a simple electric blue bikini, which goes well with my eyes.
Oh god Oh god Oh god
I take off my earrings and put them in my bag.
Bennett can't hear me now, which is a relief. I hate having him constantly looking over my shoulder.
"HEY ELLA, YOU COMING?!" Rachel yells.
I take a deep breathe.
I can do this.
NO I CAN'T! I don't even know how to swim! Maybe I can pretend to be sick.
"ELLA!" Rachel yells again.
Against my better judgement I go out there.
A couple guys whistle when I walk in.
I see Percy canon balling straight into the water.
I scream and jump out of the way of the splash.
"You okay, Ella? It's just water." Percy says from the pool.
"I'm fine." I lie "I just um got a fright."
"Okay. Come on in then. The water's great." He says diving back underwater.
Rachel laughs and jumps in.
I feel like I'm going to throw up.
"I think I'm fine up here." I say edging away from the water.
"You can swim, right?" Rachel asks.
"Not really." I admit.
"Oh. We'll teach you. I'm an excellent swimmer." Percy suggests.
"I'm fine" I say.
"Pleasseeeee." He begs which make him look like a baby seal.
They both give me pleading looks.
Maybe I could just put my feet in…
I look at the water and every nerve in my body tells me to not go in.
I try to calm my breathing.
In
Out
In
Out
I walk over to the pool and put my toes in.
I start to panic.
"You okay, Ella?" Rachel asks me getting out of the pool.
"Yeah I'm fine." I lie.
Screw this. I'm not going to be defeated by a puddle.
I jump right into the water forgetting I can't swim.
I start to panic and I feel my cells heating up and electricity discharging from my body, into the water.
What did you think? Please be honest and tell me in a review :D
