"Faster!" James yelled, as he trained with me on my kick boxing. See James has always been my friend here since Catherine recruited him after his first year at Blackthorn. He's only a year older than me. Although currently I'm hitting the crap out of his body, good thing he's in protective suiting. I gave a final kick to the side of his ribs and he went flying. I smirked at him as he groaned when he hit the wall. I walked over and took off my gloves.

"To fast for yea?" he rolled his eyes at me while taking off his padded helmet and gear.

"No, but you got some wicked impact my friend"

I grinned, but then I saw him wince as he stood up. I sighed and lifted his shirt (Not like that people) I shook my head as I saw a large dark black bruise about the size of my foot. "I'm serious the COC should totally invest in better protection equipment" he shook his.

"Nah helps us grow use to pain. Besides we'd have to ask Mrs. Goode" I rolled me eyes

"She's not that bad" he laughed and slugged down his water.

"Not that bad? Cammie you're the only one she really likes in this whole place. To the rest of us were just pieces in her game of war" I rolled my eyes.

"Yea but she's raised me, and she recruited you so be grateful" I hit him in the chest, but not where I had hit him before.

"Yes James be grateful" I would have jumped out of my skin in shock but James and I were both trained better than that.

"Mrs. Goode" James cooed, her eyes met mine. I smiled

"Catherine"

Only a handful of people can call her Catherine; I thankfully got that privilege considering she practically raised me. She nodded at both of us

"I presume you've been training" she said noticing our scratch marks and sweating bodies. We both nodded, she gave us a pleased look. No one could say it but we all knew Catherine like me and James a lot as a team. We've had more successful missions, then the top operative of this sector. Sadly I can't be a full-fledged member till I'm 18, (Stupid protocol) but I turn 18 next month. "I have a mission for you both" my ears perked up instantly she pulled out two manila envelopes. "These have all the information you need, be ready but tomorrow morning 4AM sharp. She turned quickly on the heel of her foot but then stopped. She turned and met my eyes, she had evil glint in her eyes and a wicked grin as she said.

"Cameron, think of this operation as a….gift" she chose her words carefully, I looked down at the envelope then back up to her but she was already gone.

~Page break~

"Whoa…" James spoke astonished as we took a secret passage way to our rooms. "What?" I asked grabbing a light to guide us down the dark tunnel. "She actually….had a facial expression!" I laughed and hit him hard in the stomach, he chuckled. "No seriously! I have never-in my life-seen Catherine Goode show more than a blank look on her face. Wow she treats you like an angel" I practically cringed. 'Not always" I muttered in a low voice. "What do you mean?" he asked, I shook my head.

"You didn't have to train with Catherine Goode, she's harsh but she's all I've got. She's like that when she's pleased with me. It's when she actually see's how much she trained me to do. Like just then" I motioned my hand back." Good, but training? Well let's just say I'm glad I'm almost six years ahead of my training years."

He didn't say another word. As we continued the walk in silence I thought back to the harsh memories.

"Cameron just do it!" she screamed at me and gave a slap to my cheek, I shakily picked up the gun and walked into the room. That was my first kill, June 1st when I was only 8 years old. I shudder at the memory of watching the poor man die, but he deserved it, or at least from what Catherine said, he did. I hit a black brick in the wall as the stone slid away revealing my bedroom. James walked behind me and plopped down on my bed so that we could both look at our missions. I was quite curious as I pulled out a huge white stack of papers' the cover page was titled.

"Operation Blackthorne"

My breath caught, we were going to Blackthorne. I was going to Blackthorne. The one place I've been I've always wanted to go to, Blackthorne a school for assassins. Oh My Gosh!
