Chapter 2: Meeting the Mitchell's
Chloe's POV
"Chloe are you ready yet?" Called my dad from the bottom of the stairs. "Come on we're going to be late."
"I'm coming!" I yell as I rush to pull on my shoes.
I grabbed my backpack from where it sat in the corner of my room and rush out and down the stairs to meet my dad.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yeah, I just need to grab a breakfast bar and then we're good to go."
"Okay, hurry up. I'll be in the car." He explains before sending me a smile and making his way out to his work car.
After getting my breakfast i ran out to meet him in the car and we were off.
"Do you have practice tonight?" My dad asked.
"Yeah, but i talked to Bree yesterday and she said she can bring me home." I explain. "Are you still going out of town?"
"Yeah, I'll be home by tomorrow night." He explains.
See my father traveled a lot for work. He was always coming and going, so i often was left alone. I didn't mind it though. It was actually really nice. It would be easier though to handle him being gone, if i knew what he was doing. Dad worked for a company called the A.D.D or Atlantic Defense Department. He was a field agent for them and i never really got to know what he did. I learned very quickly not to push him for information about his job or the trips he took. He would tell me about the things he could and we'd leave it at that.
"Be safe, daddy." I tell him with as much meaning backing the words as i can muster.
"I always am, kiddo." He smiles at me, just as we pull up to my High School. "I love ya."
"Love you!" I smile back at him. "Call me when you can, okay?"
"I always do." He planted a kiss on the top of my head. "See you tomorrow."
"Bye." And with that i left the car, praying that i would in fact see him tomorrow.
"Hey Chlo." Came a voice from behind me. I smiled knowing exactly who it was.
"Hey Bree." I turn and smile at her. "Ready for the Chem test today?" I ask as we both walk into the school.
Aubrey, or Bree for short, is my best friend. We've been inseparable since we were like 4, when dad and i moved here. Aubrey's mom use to babysit me when my dad was gone for work and that's how our friendship began.
"Of course, Johnson's tests can hardly be considered tests." Aubrey stated very seriously. "Am i still taking you home after basketball practice?"
"If that's still okay with you?" I smile at her, knowing that Aubrey already knew the answer.
"Definitely." We both made our way to our lockers.

"Hey Chlo," Jesse said running up to me in the hallway.
"Hey," I smile back at him. Jesse and i have been friends for a while now and he's also on the boys Basketball team. "Are you headed down to the practice gym?"
"Yeah, are you?" He asked motioning to my bag in hand.
"Yeah, you have a game against East Atlanta tomorrow, right?" I ask as we both walk down the hall together.
"Yeah, we're going there." Jesse explained. "Do you think the girls team will come?"
"I'm not sure. I know Gale was talking about us going but i don't think anything's been decided yet." It was pretty normal for the two teams to go to the others games to show support. I would honestly be surprised if we didn't.
As we reached the gym Jesse and i went our separate ways.
"Have a good practice." He said and i nod my head.
"You too."
My hand landed on the doorknob to the girls changing room when a voice said behind me. "you know he likes you right?"
I flip around to see Stacie Conrad standing there with a smirk.
"He does not." I roll my eyes and open the door, Stacie walking in after me.
"Oh come on, he's a good guy and you two would be great together." Stacie continues to push the matter.
"Stace don't be stupid. He is so not into me." I laugh and make my way over to my locker. I make quick work of removing my regular clothes and put on my jersey and shorts.
"Hey 12." Florence Rodriguez said as she she walked in, we all just call her Flo.
"Hey." I smile back.
Soon the whole team was getting ready together.
I was the first one ready so i made my way out and into the gym. The gym was decorated in our school color, bright green, and white. With the Barden High mascot decorating each wall and center court. It's a ridiculous mascot actually and it's a huge job but we call him Theo the Turtle. Or his real title, 'The Battle Tortoise." All the Students perfect Theo, not really sure where the name came from but it fits.

Practice went really well, but definitely tiring. Aubrey just dropped me off at my house and i was trying to find something to eat when my cellphone rang. I couldn't help but smile as i saw who was calling.
"Hey Daddy," I answer cheerfully.
"Hey kid, how was your day?" He asked.
"Good, i think i did really good on the chem test and practice was tough but good. How's your day going?"
"It's been interesting, listen I'm going to be home earlier then i thought. I'll be back tomorrow morning, do you have anything important going on at school tomorrow? If not i need your help with something." He explained. I could hear the apprehension in his voice.
I quickly thought about my day tomorrow and realized that nothing super important was happening, and i could always just text Stacie and Bree and have them pick up my assignments for me.
"No nothing important, I'm all yours." I explain. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, listen i can't really explain things over the phone but I'll fill you in tomorrow. I have to go but I should be home by 7." He explained, i could tell that something really important was happening and it killed me to not be able to ask questions.
"Okay..." I say, unsure of what else to talk about.
"Baby, everything is okay, there's just some unexpected things happening right now. I'll explain everything, i promise." I could hear the sincerity in his voice.
"I know, I'll see you tomorrow morning." I say trying to ease his mind.
"Okay, eat some food and when you text Bree about your assignments for tomorrow hold off on telling her why you wont be in, okay?"
"Yeah, of course." I say almost with a laugh, its amazing how well he knows me.
"Love ya," He says and i can hear his smile.
"Love you too, Old Man." I smile as i say the words. He hates when i call him that.
"Smartass." He says with a laugh.
"Agent Beale, are you ready?" Came a muffled voice over the phone.
"Yes." dad said in response. "I gotta go Chlo, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye daddy." And with that the other end of the phone goes dead.
What in the world was gong on?

Beca's POV
Emily and i sat in silence as a group of men talked in the corner of the large room. We had landed in this strange place a little over 7 hours ago and i really had no idea what was going on. All these people did treat Emily and i with respect and kindness, but no one had explained anything to us. Captain Welch hadn't left our sight at all but has been engaged in many hushed conversations.
Finally one of the suits turned to look and us and actually spoke to us.
"Princess Andrameda, Princess Emilia, my name is Lt. Walker. I know that you both must have a lot of questions and we are here to help you. I would like to officially welcome you to the Atlantic Defense Department, or A.D.D for short." The man explained. I could tell he was use to being in charge and all his men treated him with respect and honor. I hope he was someone we could actually trust, but i didn't know and i wasn't about to give in and let my guard down until i knew for sure. "Here at A.D.D it's our job to serve and protect all those in need. Your Father, King Warren, reach out to our team a few months ago, when the war had begun to worsen and we promised we would be here for him in whatever way possible. When he sent word two days ago that he would need to send you away for protection we organized a plan. We need you both to be able to blend in to American society and we have arranged for you to stay in the care of one of our most trusted Agents. Agent Charlie Beale."
American society? So we were in the United States? Interesting, i never really wanted to come here but i guess i don't have much of a choice at this point. If this is what is necessary for the protection of Griffniel's future, so be it.
Just then the door opened and in walked a tall man. He had a kind face, and his eyes seemed to smile. They were blue, lighter then mine, almost like the sky. He bowed his head to both Emily and I before taking a seat by Lt. Walker.
"Agent Beale, it's my honor to introduce you to Princess Andrameda Mitchell and her younger sister Princess Emilia Mitchell." Lt. Walker explained.
"Your Highnesses, it's truly and honor to meet you both. I'm so sorry for this situation you are currently in." Agent Beale spoke. His voice was genuine, maybe i could trust this man, i guess we'll see.
"Thank you Agent Beale, we truly appreciate your help and hospitality. Griffniel thanks you as well." I say in the most dignified manner i can, but i add a small smile.
"Perfect, now lets talk about what the future will hold for you both. From now on you are Beca and Emily Mitchell, the nieces of Charlie Beale." Walker began to explain the plan to us and i did my best to remember all of it, our very life's depended on us getting this right, and not just our lives, our Kingdom's future.

The next morning we prepared ourselves to travel to a place called Barden, where Agent Beale lived. Charlie Beale truly did seem like a kind man, in the time we've gotten to speak to him.
Captain Welch was coming with us to Barden, which made me feel a lot better about this whole situation.
"Beca?" Emily asked sitting beside me in the black SUV, while Beale, Welch, and Walker talked outside the car.
"Yes." I turn and meet my sisters eyes.
"Are we going to be okay?" She asked, the uncertainty lacing her voice.
"Em, we are." I assured her.
"Do you think we can trust Agent Beale?" Emily asked, looking at the back of the mans head.
"I don't know for sure yet, but out of everyone here he's the one i probably trust the most." I explain. I wasn't sure why but there was something about Lt. Walker that just seemed... off to me.
"Me too." Emily admitted.
"Don't you worry, as long as we have each other, we will be okay." I pull her into a hug and she hugs back. "I love you."
"I love you too." She smiles at me and just then the door to the drivers side of the car opened and Agent Beale stepped inside, then the passenger door opened and in came Captain Welch.
"Are you ready girls?" Agent Beale asked, turning in his seat to look at us.
"We are ready, Agent Beale." I say.
"Please, call me Charlie. You'll need to get use to it if we're going to sell the story." He smiled.
"Right, yes Charlie." I say with a small smile. "We're ready."
"Perfect, let's get this show on the road." He said and turned the car on, pulling out of the group of buildings, making up the A.D.D.
After about an hour drive we pulled into the driveway of a nice house. It wasn't big but it also wasn't small. It seemed very...quant.
"Welp, here she is." Charlie said with a smile.
"I'd like to inspect the property before the Princess's exit the car." Captain Welch explains.
"Is that necessary? I can assure you no one knows the girls are here other then the Agents at the A.D.D." Charlie explained apprehensively.
"Captain, i don't think that's necessary, it may just draw unwanted attention o us." I say in agreement with the Agent.
Captain Welch looked back at me and seemed as though he was about to protest, but must have decided better of it.
"As you wish, Your Highness." He bowed his head in submission.
"Great, lets get you inside then." Charlie said and opened his door. Both Emily and i followed suit.
Charlie walked ahead of us so that he could unlock the door. He pushed it open and called out. "Chloe, I'm home!"
Chloe? Right he has a daughter named Chloe.
"Hey daddy, i was just about to get breakfast, do you want anything or have you eaten?" A voice came from somewhere further in the house.
"Chlo, can you come here for a second?" Charlie asked, placing his keys on the table.
I heard footsteps and then there was someone rounding the corner. The second i saw her it was like my breath was taken away. She was beautiful, the most beautiful person I've ever seen.
She had beautiful red hair, and brighter eyes then even her fathers. She was taller then me by a few inches, and has a smile that could light an entire castle.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, i didn't know you were bringing anyone home." Chloe said, obviously startled. Her eyes landed on me and they lingered probably just as long as mine had been on hers.
"Chloe, i would like you to meet the Mitchell sisters." Charlie said, but i honestly couldn't hear him. I was too distracted by the angel in front of me. My god, she may just flip my whole world more upside down then it already had been. In that moment I knew, Chloe Beale is dangerous.
