Nigel POV

After lunch I when on ahead to my next class, ELA(English Language Arts).

For once I'm glad to have this class with Fanny.

ELA has always sucked because of the teacher, , that lady never teaches us anything!

And to think, this is supposed to be a special help class, but what do we learn!? Nothing! I should have just asked to be in a regular ELA this year.

You probably wonder what I mean by a special help class.

Well, when I moved here from Britain things were said different there so I need a bit of help with my speak, though I speak like an adult anyway, but that's not the point. Then there's the fact that I also dexterity so I have trouble reading, though the glasses I always wear help with that problem a bit since they help me read better, comes in handy when being a sector leader.

This got me thinking, if my team finds ut my uncle is father, would I be kicked out of the KND? Maybe I can just hide the fact that I'm related to father, I mean, Fanny hides the fact the is her dad…

Yeah, that's what I'll do…

"Now class, we will be reading a story about the Holocaust, it was a tragic event in history where people were put in labor camps forced to do hard labor or risk death by the gas chambers.", started staying

"During this time period families were forced apart and had to watch their families die one by one, just because of their heredity."

Great, I though

I mean, I understand that it was an important event in history but it's not really something you should be teaching to a elementary class.

We managed to read a few pages before the end of class and the book was actually pretty interesting.

The bell rang and kids ran outside for recess.

Looking around I noticed that Fanny was just slowly walking to recess, which I thought was odd since she always races to the playground to crash everyone in kickball.

I thought about joining my friends like normal but I just didn't feel like it today, so I walked over to Fanny where she was sitting on the Bench.

Fanny's POV

Th bell rang for recess but I didn't really feel like doing anything so I went to sit on the and just looked down at my feet, until I heard someone's presents next to me.

Looking up I saw that it was Nigel

Hey Nigel, I said quietly, not really in the mood for chatter

"Hey Fanny", he replied back

I just noticed that we have been called one another by our real names instead of code names but I kept the thought to myself.

So what are you doing here?, I asked since it's recess and I he normally would be playing with his friends.

"Just wanted to check in on you"

Why?, I asked in surprise

"Well you have just been pretty down lately, and by this time you would be beating all the other boys in kickball", he said in a humor filled voice

Yeah, I said holding back a laugh

There was the first time I have laughed in awhile, thanks, I said meaning it

"No problem, first time I've laughed in awhile to…"

So, are you holding up ok Nigel?, I haven't asked you yet, I've been wanting to ask but it didn't seem like the right time…

Nigel's POV

I knew that she would probably ask sooner or later since I saw her in the hospcial

I've been ok…, I replied

It's just been hard, without my parents…

They have just always been there for me, I never noticed until they were gone…

I just really miss them…

But Father… My Uncle has been watching me and letting me stay at his home until everything is sorted out…

I didn't notice the tears running down my face until they started dropping down on the ground

That was when Fanny did something unexpected, she hugged me

Fanny's POV

I couldn't stand to see him crying, I mean, Nigel has always seemed pretty strong, I've never seen him like this, so I did my best to comfort him, even though I wasn't to good at it myself.

It's going to be ok, I whispered into his ear

"Thanks", he replied back

"Fanny", he said pulling back from the hug

"Are you ok"

"I mean, you haven't really seemed like yourself lately", he asked with care

Just some family issues, I said quietly

"Well you can tell me"

Promise you won't tell anyone, I said looking him right in the eye

"I promise, Cross my heart and hope to die"

Ok, well you see, it started a couple years ago, my mom, one moment she seemed happy with me, and the next, she turned against me in a way, she started on about how I was weak because I was a girl and how I always needed a man but I could probably never get one, she said I was weak, worthless, a big nothing. Up until a month ago this was all hidden from my dad and it was just verbal abuse

It's mostly just a mess but I remember her hand hitting me across the face and the pain that coursed through my face and my dad just happened to walk in on that moment.

For the next 3 weeks my parents just fought until they finally got divorced, my mom took my brothers with her back to Ireland, where she was born, and I stayed here with my dad…

Nigels' POV

Wow, I thought, I never knew Fanny was going through that much pain…

I just that explained she had always seemed to hate boys, and just the way she has always acted, and that's probably why I haven't seen on any missions in the past few weeks

Fanny's POV

After keeping my tears in for so long it felt good to finally let them all out

"Fanny?", I looked up as I heard Nigel say my name

"Your going to be ok, your the strongest girl I know, your the head of the decommissioning squad, and that's basically one of the toughest jobs, your strong, powerful, and an amazing leader."

My eyes widen in surprise at this since nobody has ever said such nice stuff about me, aside from my dad, and it was just a surprise.

Thanks, I said still in shock from what he said.

"No problem Fanny", Nigel said with a gentle smile, he then pulled me in a hug

I finally managed to get the tears out of my eyes when I saw some boys coming over

Nigel's POV

That's odd, Nigel thought, why were these guys coming over?

Looking over at Fanny I noticed her eyes widen at the sight of them, did they want something from her?

"Hey, we overheard you talking, guess you really are a freak, heck, your own mother doesn't even want you!", said one of the boys with the others agreeing with him as they all laughed

I looked over at Fanny who started to stand up, I thought she was going to do something about them but instead she ran off in tears.

Hey!, I said before I even relieved that I was talking, what was that about!

"Trust me dude, she had it coming a loooong time ago", said the leader

Well either well that doesn't give you the right to say that to her, or anyone for that matter!, i shouted in his face

"O yeah!, what you going to do about it shrimp!"

THAT'S IT!, I growled in a voice I didn't recognize as my own

Grabbing his wrists I said in a low voice, You have NO right to be talking to Fanny, or anyone for that matter!, like that, you should just hope that I won't BURN!, you to the pile of ashes that you are for what you said!

I then looked down to notice the black ink that seemed to be crawling up my arms and the hand shaped burns I left on his wrists.

There seemed to be a small crowd gathering around us but it was only like three other 4th, and a couple teens,(the middle school is close by), but they just watched.

Turning back to look at him I said,

Just be happy I won't finish the job!

I then turned and ran off to find Fanny leaving the small crowd just watching me left thinking about what they saw
