I sigh as the moving truck pulls away, I'm going to miss Texas the warm sun and blue skies (even though I remain pale as porcelain) "Yo! Mopey! We gotta get this show on the road." Yells Tobey, my "Uncle" he's really a 21 year old FBI agent who pretends to live with us. Moms side, married my Aunt Tilly, she passed away with cancer before they had a chance to have kids. Same story every time because it covers any extra questions that nosey house wife neighbors have. I stroll over to the pick-up truck and threw myself into the front seat. "Where are we going again?" I ask.
"Alaska, on the border of Canada there's a small town virtually unknown to mankind perfect for us." Tobey says with a glance in my direction. I sit for a moment looking at the car in front of us containing my parents....maybe this time we'll get to stay.... I know its wishful thinking but it's the only thing that keeps me from going crazy.
"What's my new name? Oh! Can I pick this time? Please? Please. Please. Please? Please... please? pl-" Tobey clamps his hand over my mouth and chuckles " Geeze if you stop talking for like... 5 seconds then I'll let you, only this once though, I'll let you pick your name. Nothing too bold, so no Bluelily." I groan and start whacking my head on the window an elderly couple gave me the hairy eyeball as they drive by.
"If I can't have the best name in the world, than what's the point." I grumble. He rolls his eyes and sighs "Be grateful that I'm letting you do this." I sit for a moment thinking; Gea, Flora, Esmerelda.... where in the world did I think of Esmerelda.....strange. Then it hit me there was a girl in Texas she told me I looked like an Iris, and hmmm last name, last name.... oh! Segreto! That means secret in Italian, that'll be our inside joke.
We pull up to the airport at 11:30 I sigh this is the worst part. Knowing the agency is deleting all memory of me in records everywhere; school, online, they will even tell my friends that we got in an accident and have closed casket funerals. Not that there was really anyone to tell. I learned it's easier to not have friends in my life, any attachments no questions mean happy parents. This is just going to be another town where I'm going to be the quiet shy girl no one pays any attention to....
