2 YEARS LATER(I promise this is the last time we're doing that :))
Ivy Kabra only being six years old had already reached Krait Agent status. She was skipping out of the principals office after officially moving up from Tiger Snake to Krait status. Heather Cahill, her BFF, was also skipping happily behind her. Heather's older sister Victoria on the other hand, who had her arms crossed and was stomping behind the two skippers, did not seem as happy. Victoria, who was 13 years old, should have been way ahead of Ivy in ranking but all of the practice, training, and missions had come so easily to Ivy. Victoria didn't know why. Neither did Ivy. Ivy didn't care though, she was just enjoying being higher up than Victoria.
"Will you cut that out!" Victoria snapped at the sight of all the skipping, "it's very childish and immature."
Ivy crossed her arms and poked her lip out to mock Victoria.
"And so is pouting because a six year old is better than you!" Ivy said in a whining voice with a smirk plastered on her face.
"I'm not pouting!" Victoria said angrily.
"No offense Vick," Heather said, "but you kinda are."
"It's Victoria!" Victoria snapped, "and no I'm not."
"Whatever you say," Ivy said rolling her eyes.
"I'm so happy for you Ives!" Heather said smiling and hugging her friend, "your parents should have let you be in the clue hunt."
Ivy snorted at the mention of the clue hunt that had taken place just s year earlier. The other four Kabras had come to the school for an assembly right before the clue hunt began. Vikram gave a triumphant speech about how his children were going to win and lead the Lucians to victory. Ian and Natalie had even bragged themselves about their superiority. Ivy had hid in the back of that assembly with Heather mocking her family members. Isabel had been so sure that Ian and Natalie were going to win, and what had happened, they lost. They failed. Ian and Natalie failed, Isabel was arrested, and Vikram went in hiding.
"Nice family you got there," Victoria said smirking as if she had read Ivy's mind, "you siblings are failures, your mummy is in jail, and your daddy is no where to be seen. What does the Krait agent expect we do now?"
"To pray that that isn't who I think it is," Ivy said pointing at the door.
A woman dressed in a long violet dress with sunglasses and a matching hat walked in the front door. She somehow blended in with all of the school children hurrying to their classes but that didn't stop Ivy from noticing.
"Is that…?" Heater began in shock and disbelief.
"Mummy dearest,"Ivy finished through gritted teeth.
It had been two years since Ivy had seen her but it was no doubt that the woman was Isabel Kabra. Ivy felt lucky for not having seen her in so long, but that didn't mean that Ian and Natalie had the same luck. Rumour has it that Isabel had been very cruel and possibly abusive to Ian and Natalie during the clue hunt. Even though they were spoiled brats, Ivy felt bad for her siblings. Isabel walked into the main office and talked to the secretary for a minute. The secretary handed her a piece of paper and Isabel hurried out of the office.
"Come on it's time to pay some respect to my dear old mother," Ivy said.
"I don't think that's a good idea," Victoria said nervously.
"Oh come on you're the same person who was begging to meet her a while ago," Ivy said rolling her eyes.
"I know," Victoria said sadly, "but that was before I knew she killed my aunt and uncle."
Victoria and Heather had never really really liked Isabel or Vikram but after they learned that she'd killed Hope and Arthur they straight up hated her.
"Come on guys," Heather mumbled.
Heather and Victoria took a small step forward but Ivy dashed off.
"Ivy wait!" Heather yelled after her best friend.
Ivy ran down the hallway and out the door to see Isabel putting the paper in the trunk. Just as Isabel closed the trunk Ivy jumped up and landed on her back.
"Bloody hell!" Isabel cursed.
Isabel turned her head around to see what was on her back.
"Got you," Ivy said smirking.
"Oh no," Isabel said grabbing Ivy and lifting her off her back.
"Awww," Ivy said sarcastically, "not what you wanted to see?"
"Actually it is," Isabel said with a smirk on her face.
"What do you mean?" Ivy asked nervously.
"I mean," Isabel said opening the trunk and getting the paper out, "these are dismissal papers for you. I'm taken you to Brazil to be with your father."
Ivy's eyes widened in shock and sadness. Just then Heather and Victoria ran up to the car.
"Ivy what's wrong?" Heather asked trying to avoid looking at Isabel.
"She's making me leave the school," Ivy mumbled sadly.
"What?! You can't do that!" Heather yelled finally gaining the confidence to look Isabel in the eye.
"I'm an adult I can do what ever I want, little girl, Isabel snapped.
"But Ivy is my best friend!" Heather whined, "haven't you ever had a best friend?!"
"Not one that she hasn't paid," Ivy said.
"Quiet you!" Isabel snapped.
Victoria was being quiet and trying to stay as invisible as possible but that didn't mean someone wouldn't acknowledge that she was there.
"Vicki!" Heather said exasperated, "can I get some help over here?! Ivy can't go she just can't!"
"W-well I…" Victoria stuttered.
"Ivy is coming with me and she is coming with me now, end of discussion," Isabel said.
"Now?!" Ivy said with wide eyes.
"Yes now," Isabel said scooping her daughter up and putting her in the car.
Through her blurred vision from her tears Ivy could see Heather and Victoria watching her leave and also crying. Heather waved and Ivy waved back just as the car turned the corner.

Ivy was pissed off. She had just come off of a plane where she had to sit in the middle seat between to fat guys who sweated and ate potato chips while her mother say in firs class with reclining seats and perfectly salted peanuts and especially no sweaty, fat, potato chip eating men. She was now walking down the streets of Brazil with her mother who was a fugitive and she can't see her best friend at all seeing as how she was in another country.
"Your life is sooooo amazing Ivy," Ivy mumbled to herself.
"Don't be snippy young lady!" Isabel whispered, "now come on I have something to tell you before we meet you father."
Isabel led Ivy to where they were going to meet Vikram. A bench by a fountain outside in a park. Ivy sat down on the bench, crossed her arms, and turned to look at Isabel who was doing her best fake caring smile that she could. Isabel placed a hand Ivy's hair and began to stroke it while Ivy did her best are you insane look.
"Now Ivy dear I need you to listen to me alright, this is ver serious. While I'm gone no one can brush your hair, no one can cut your hair, no one can put anything in your hair. Do I make myself clear."
"Why do you care if someone does my hair?" Ivy asked confused, "you don't even do it!"
"Ivy this is serious," Isabel said seriously, "no one can do it, ok?"
"Ok, ok, I get it," Ivy said nonchalantly.
Isabel sighed just as a black limousine pulled up and Vikram Kabra stepped out of it. Ivy hopped into the limo while she watched her parents talk. She wasn't really listening much but she did figure out that Isabel was going to break into the Kabra mansion where Ian and Natalie were. Ivy wished she could warn her siblings. They had lost so much. She didn't want them to turn out like her.
LINEBREAKLINEBREAKLINEBREAK
Ivy rode to wherever Vikram was staying, in silence. He didn't tell her where they were going. In fact he didn't say anything so her. No matter how many times she asked or complained. Ivy stared out the tinted window and thought. She thought about whether she'd ever see Heather again. She thought about where she was going. She thought about the Taipan poem. She thought about Ian and Natalie. She thought and she thought and she thought. But the one thing that wouldn't leave her mind was why her mother told her not to let any one do her hair. She grabbed one of her two ponytails and studied it. She looked up to Vikram scowling at her. She ignored him and kept looking at her hair. She saw nothing. She was about to give up when she saw something. Something odd. The ver tip of her pony tail was changing colors. It went from yellow to red to blue to green to black, and then it went back to its regular brown color. Ivy let go of the ponytail and let it fall back onto her shoulder. Ivy fell back into her seat and drifted off to sleep.
