The Circle

Chapter 11

"I'm involved with a very crucial group of people" Warren finally said. "What is that supposed to mean" I asked."It's a long story"."I have a long time" I said still utterly confused. "Okay, when my father was 17 he formed a group of people that started off as a harmless coalition. The more people joined, the stronger the circle became. The purpose of the group was to keep tranquility over the United States. You can think of us as the governments brother.""Us?" I asked a little taken aback."Yes, us, meaning me and hundreds of others, a variety of ages, " he answered. "Wait wait wait....your....in the...group-I mean, government, I mean, I don't know what it is but your apart if it!" I asked."You didn't let me finish the story" he said with a smirk on his face. Why was he smiling at a time like this!? Am I overreacting, is it really not that big a deal? "Anyway" he continued. "Not all members of the Armonia are-""Wait" I interrupted. "Armonia?" I asked confused for what seemed like the millionth time. "Oh yeah forgot to mention that part. The group, it's called the Armonia." Then he continued again."As I was saying, not all members are necessarily good. After the group flourished and because stronger, a boy the same age as my dad joined. He wasn't like other members. He always stayed distant, never really had the same opinion as everyone else. His name was Vernon. He made it clear to everyone that he cherished power over peace. He had a huge fight with my dad but took the loss and left the group. A few years later my dad met my mom. While she was pregnant with me Vernon came back looking for revenge. They fought again but my father was no match for him. The skills Vernon learned while he was gone were of a much higher level then my dad. Then came me. I never got to meet my father." His face turned pale and his head lowered. "Sorry" he said, "I didn't mean to ruin the mood." "I'm not sure it was too happy in the first place, " I answered touching his hand lightly. He looked up then talked again. "Now that my dad was gone they needed a leader......but they had to wait. Two years ago I took my fathers place as head of the Armonia."I gasped. "But your like 14!" I yelled hysterically. "Doesn't matter, the Armonia doesn't care about age. And either way it was in my fathers will. They can't stop me. " I sighed trying to take everything in. "So what do you guys do" I asked. "Well like I said were like the government's brother, or more like long lost brother, no one knows about us except for them, And now you I guess. Anyway, we can't declare war or anything we sorta just sneak around, go undercover, some of us work with technology and politics, and we travel a lot." Warren said."But you don't! I've known you forever!""I'm not legally aloud to stay in one place too long. I can give the orders for people to go all over the place but I still have restraints." He answered."I've told you enough already" he said then looked down at his watch. "Shoot! I need to go now! Its a long story, again. I'm going undercover. I don't know if I can call you but I'll try, I promise." "WAIT WHAT! YOU CANT JUST LEAVE! NOT NOW!" I yelled trying to do anything I could to stop him. "I can't just stay, especially not now!" He walked quickly over to the door then stopped. He stayed there frozen for a good five seconds then turned around and walked towards me. He quickly pulled me close to him and pushed his lips down on mine. I felt a rush of energy go through my body like a wire. The kiss was long and passionate but I knew it couldn't last forever. Then he stopped and whispered something in my ear."I love you".Then he ran out and he was gone.
