Chapter 1

Bex winded me with a well aimed kick to my stomach.
I gasped for breath as I fell to the mats.
I rolled over and flicked her legs out from underneath her and she crashed down beside me.
We laid there for a minute in silence, trying to catch our breath.
We were in P and E so all around us were the groans and screams of our class mates as they tried to dodge their partners' attacks while fighting back at the same time.
"What's wrong with you Cam?" Bex asked
I knew she had noticed. I am never this quiet.
But I can't possibly tell her what's running through my mind right now.
I couldn't tell her that all holidays, that every time she had to wake me up because I was screaming, I was having the same dream over and over again.
I couldn't tell her that the images of the fight out side the presidential party kept haunting me.
I couldn't tell her that my head was always full of thoughts and that I was absolutely terrified that even with the security the Circle of Cavan was going to burst through the doors and take me.
Because if I told her that she would at me with that look in her eyes, the look that was full of pity and worry.
She would say "It's all going to be ok." and she would hug me.
But it wasn't going to be ok and I don't know how much longer I can go on. I cant handle the dreams any more and not being asleep.
But if I tell anyone that they would treat me different… they would tip toe around me and try to protect me… but I don't want that.
That is worse than the dreams.
"Nothing." I answered after a few minutes.
"Come on Cam, talk to me, what's wrong?" she pushed the question as she helped me up.
"I don't want to talk about it Bex, just drop it, please?" I pleaded.
Bex studied me for a moment before nodding.
"Just know that if you change your mind, you know I am here for you, right?" she whispered.
I nodded before I spun around and kicked Tina in the shin as she tried to sneak up behind me.
She dropped to the ground clutching her shin, a bruise already forming.
"Ow!" she whimpered. "What the hell did you do that for?"
"I'm sorry Tina." I whispered. "I didn't mean to you just shouldn't sneak up on me."
"Sorry." She answered, with that look in her eyes. "I didn't mean to startle you."
I nodded. "What did you want anyway?"
"I came over here to ask something." she announced.
"Go ahead." I replied just as Bex tried to catch me of guard and flip me over her head, but I noticed just before she did it and I hooked my leg behind her knee and she fell to the floor.
"Good one." She laughed from her position on the floor.
"Hey I'm still here." Tina yelled, getting my attention back.
"Sorry." I yelled back as I pulled Bex up.
"Anyway, I heard that during the holidays, when you went to stay with Bex, a jet full of enemy agents landed in the street and you both had to fight them off while knocking out all the witnesses." Tina blurted out all in one breath.
I stood there stunned, I definitely wasn't expecting that. She does have a lot of crazy theories but that one has to top the lot.
Bex started laughing.
"Believe me, that is so not true." She gasped between laughs. "You should fire your sources."
"What ever." Tina huffed and walked away.
Then the bell rang and we all headed back inside for lunch.
I was still thinking about the information I got before the holidays.
How the Circle of Cavan was after me.
Me, plain old me.
I don't understand why they are so interested in me.
Could it be that I am a pavement artist?
Or the fact that I am a CIA legacy?
Or is it to do with my dad?
