"OK, so where do we get started?" I asked Edward with a bit of hope in my heart. There was only one thing I could think of to stay alive along with my friends. I could sense a silence around me that if someone dropped a pin you could hear it. They were all surprised by my question cause it was me who was crying on hearing the fact I might get killed instead of Eva, I suddenly felt like I had received a superpower of reading people's faces.

"We will set out now to the airport, just grab few items you require the most, "Edward told us and he had already started with some clicking on his laptop I assumed he was booking us flight tickets but something was missing wasn't it but what? "Well....hmmm..., Mr. Edward our passports? We need them right?" Sherene asked with a question mark on her face. Of course, that's what we are missing since we are students who have come from abroad we are not allowed to travel to another destination without our passports, the good thing now is that Sherene asked about it, to Edward. 

"Ah..well Miss Evy about that we already have all your passports so...You don't need to worry," Andrew told us with a shy and guilty smile. We looked at him as he had spoken an elf language. I mean how could you just take our passports I had them in my cupboard and the key is with me always are these people really aliens. "Are you guys for real? You people secretly watch us and now steal our passports and what else you track our phones?" I burst out with anger and spoke on behalf of my friends too. Edward gave me an obvious look "It not stealing, we borrowed it from your cupboards for your safety and yes we do track you phones". Again with the stupid elf language. "Wait..wait but how on earth did you get inside our house I mean we have a fingerprint scanner to enter and it's registered with only Me, Abby, Evy, and Sherene" Kev raised up another question, and truth be told we were eager to know I mean we are normal teenagers leading a perfect silent life and now standing on thin ice or the edge of our life we ought to know few things. 

"Well it's simple Mr. Morgan, we just override the setting in your lock and....." Andrew spoke but it was interrupted "That's enough Andrew" Edward broke in. God, I hate that guy it was like he didn't want us to know anything. "We'll talk in the flight if you any other doubts, for now, let's leave the residence," He told us with a serious look, it gave us chills on our body cause he was scary even with those amazing eyes of his. We hurried and just picked up a few kinds of stuff in the house we were in, they even had a dress for girls! We just hurried we didn't want to be scolded by Mr. Anger downstairs. We all came down with our luggage. Edward and Andrew wore an elegant black suit perfectly ironed with a cream color shirt to go with and wait are those Berluti shoes those two guys are wearing and Rado watches. They must have been raised as silver spoon from birth, my friends Abby, Kev, and Sherene are more like gold spoons raised kids I was normal no special treatment was organized for me. Yet me and my friends stared at each other from the top till the bottom we all wore kinda wore similar clothes. A grey tight pant with a grey hoodie which had the music symbol on it as a design and sneakers to go with it and ya no watches and except for our pants from Addidas nothing was branded, compared to those two guys attires we felt like complete dorks who had no sense of style. 

Well, it didn't matter what we wore all we cared about was a four lettered word L.I.F.E nothing else for the moment. We left the main gate of the residence and a golden color Range Rover showed up the color was disgusting but we had no choice other than ride with them. Andrew told us our car will be safe in the residence and not to worry about it. We reached the airport in like twenty minutes. The driver dropped us off and went his way. The airport was filled, are they giving off free air tickets? But we found a short line and decided to stand in queue and wait till our chance had come in. Suddenly someone grabbed my hands and it was Edward. Don't people ever get the fact that doing such things out of nowhere can scare the crap out of us.

"What are you doing?"He asked us with a weird look as if something was on my face. "Dah, standing in line, do you think you can pass on easily by just showing your handsome face?" 

Oh, no did I just say he is handsome out loud but I reacted like I never mentioned something weird. Andrew gave me a smile "Just follow us guys". I liked him really he was the one who was the happiest and I don't know why. We just followed them, we entered through the VIPs gate which I had seen only from afar. Not many people were there in the VIPs Lounge it was kinda empty only five to six people were there. We then entered a gate the one where we use to get inside the fights probably the final gate I assume. 

There was a mini flight oh, that's a private jet well I have seen that thing only in movies. I and my friends stood a bit far and tried to enjoy the flight's outer beauty for a minute or two. "Wow, working as a secret agent comes with a lot of benefits," Sherene said nodding her head and looking at the jet. We all accepted the fact she said cause it's true. "Not really, you might just get first-class tickets in a flight". Andrew from behind us told these with a sigh. 

"Oh so you're agent arranged us this jet cause I look like a doppelganger of a Mafia's daughter, "I asked him with a pity face. He laughed out loud I was scared that he might get scolded by Edward but it was not a problem cause he had already gone inside the jet. I looked at Andrew with a "Why" look. He moved his head and directed us to look at the edge of the jet and we turned over and saw the word "Michealson". Well, I think that's the jet's name. Hang on and I looked at Andrew with my eyes wide open my friends didn't understand anything and they started at me. "You must be joking me seriously no wayyyyyyy" 

"Yes way, it's all possible"

"But...but....how?"

"What is it?" All my three friends broke out together

Andrew gave me a look to proceed 

"Well, guys this jet is not from the agent it belongs to a Michealson," I told them calmly and nicely, but my friends didn't seem to get it.

"Edward Michealson" I screamed that even Edward sitting inside the jet came out and asked us to get inside. Does this flight really belong to him. Who is this guy? What is his identity? We all got inside the flight but didn't utter a word. I took the last seat well it only had few seats Edward the first and next to him Andrew and then Abby, Sherene sat. Kev and I sat in the last ones. I wanted to ask a lot of questions but at the moment I couldn't. 

I am sitting on a flight without even knowing where it was going I just took a deep breath and put on my seat belts. The flight took off, I could see the sunset from the sky, it was beautiful with all the cotton candy-colored clouds and the orange mint shake color to add to it. When the sun sets the moon comes up we all go to sleep and wake up again when the sun comes up. I just wished I could wake up like that in my bed and clear up all this and think of it as a nightmare. 

I drifted off in my seat with this thought.
