Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this fanfic apart from Aunt Alyssa, Violet and in a way Zach's mum and dad (because they have the same names, but different personalities and backgrounds and identities and well you get what I mean). The list of characters that I do own will keep growing, but you know who Ally Carter's characters are.

Prologue: Zach POV

"Mum!" I heard myself say, "This has to be a joke right? You and Dad really can't be serious?!" I looked over at my parents, they were sitting there, watching me like I was a bomb about to explode. A wall about to be torn down. They had reason to look at me like that, I guess, I don't really blame them.

"Zach, you know why we're doing this. It's for the best" Dad's mouth was moving, and I could hear him saying what I knew deep down was true but refused to believe. I was listening to him, but not truly listening to him. He knew that when he explained "You know that you haven't been the same since what happened last autumn* and we're hoping that this move might help you." Dad reached for Mum's hand, almost as if he wanted reassurance. For heck's sake I was a 16yr old! Not a nuclear weapon! "You'll like it there Zachy", Mum continued, "Remember when we took you with us on that mission in Brisbane*?"

I know what angle Mum was playing at. Nickname check, happy family time check and now here came what they thought would seal the deal. The one thing they thought that would make me happy about moving. "You'll get to see your Aunt Alyssa every week instead of every six months Zach! Isn't that great?" I faked a smile. "Yeah that'll be awesome, I'll go start packing!"

I then walked as quickly as possible without them noticing something was up (which is pretty hard to do, since they are spies and all) and flopped onto my bed. Yes, it was great that my parents actually cared enough about me to pick up and move to the other side of the globe. But what was not so great was that they wanted me to be happy about it. Why should I be happy about it? All my friends (if you consider the goons I hang with at school friends) were here.

I was snapped out of my thoughts and began to return to the misery that is my life. The cause for this sudden cause of me not thinking about my miserable life was simple. Violet my little sister who I adored and treasured the most among all in the world was standing at my door, clutching her little teddy bear, Charlie. "Zachy", she whispered sleepily as she rubbed her eyes, "I had a nightmare. Can you tuck me back into bed?" in that moment I didn't think I would ever get over how adorable my sister is. But, I had to tuck her into bed. It was my job to keep her safe, even B-. "Don't think about him." My mind said to myself, "if you do, you'll just collapse. Again. Now hurry on and help Violet."

Distracting myself from painful memories, I ushered Violet into her very yellow room and lifted her up onto her bed. I was about to ask her what her nightmare was about when I noticed she was already fast asleep. I kissed her on the forehead, wished her a good night with plenty sweet dreams* and watched her sleep carefree and blissfully. I wondered when I had last slept like that, 'not in a long time' my mind answered. I wondered when/if I would ever sleep like that again. I doubted I would.

Still deep in my thoughts a hand slammed itself against my mouth. Stronger arms than mine pinned my arms to my sides and a knife was held against my throat. All my attacker said was 'Say hi to Cammie Morgan for me'.

Hey guys, how was that for a first chapter? I've never wrote a Fanfic before so I gave I my best shot. Also, you'll notice with the little star things I put them in there a bit. That's what I'll be doing to let you know some things in these little bolded paragraphs below. First of all, yes autumn not fall, I'm an Aussie so we say autumn. Secondly, Brisbane is the capital city of Queensland which is one of the 7 states in Australia. Some of you might know the Gold Coast, Great Barrier Reef or The Gulf of Carpentaria. Those are all in Queensland. So, what do you think happened to change Zach? How do you think Cammie and her classmates will react?

Also on a different note, I will post the next chapter after I get a review. Just one. I don't want to ask too much of you guys. So review and I'll try to get the next chapter up real soon!
