As it seems

Revelations

We were back at base, I enjoyed being with my parents a lot but I knew that had to come to and end. I'm about to start my training and I've never been more nervous in my life, not even when I talked to Jaden. I wish life right now was as simple as it was back then, all I had to worry about were crushes and exams, not psychopaths trying to kill me for revenge.
- Hey there!- I heard from behind me.
- Steve! Hi- I turned to look at him.
- How are you holding up?- he asked.
- Fine, I guess- I replied.
- How did the talk with your parents go?-
- It was a huge surprise-

- Flashback -

- Hi baby- my mom said,- What did you want to talk about?-
- Why did you give me up?- I asked.
- Kathryn, first of all you need to know we love you, we've always had- she answered,- This job, it comes with many dangers. 18 years ago, your father and I were on a very important mission, we had to capture Dr. Zled. He was a very important man, he made many potions, he sometimes helped people, but he mostly used his talents for bad. He made poisons and potions for villains, and he had to be stopped.
- Did you stop him?-
- Of course we did! And he is hell bent on getting revenge-
- That's why he wants to kill me?? To get back at you? How did he know I exist?-
- I was pregnant when he escaped prison. That was his first try at revenge, he tried to kill us and found out I was pregnant. He said he would make us pay by taking what meant most to us, you. We knew he would actually try to kill you, so we made the hardest decision ever. We had some friends we met on a mission, they knew about our jobs and agreed to take care of you-
- So Laura and Ross already knew about your job-
- Yes, and they were ecstatic about having a little girl. We knew we had made the right choice-

- Present-

- It's comforting to know they did love me, I just wish they kept me-
- Well, we have a surprise for you. After all you've been through we thought a distraction would be great-
He took my hand and led me to somewhere that kind of looked like a living room. My parents, Chloe, and Mr. Branson were there.
- Hey girl!- said my dad.
- We got you something- my mom stood up with a box in her hands. She handed the box to me.
- Open it- she said smiling.
- Hurry up!- said Chloe.
- May I remind you you're here willingly- Mr. Branson told Chloe.
- I know, I just don't have all day- she replied.
I turned to look a the box and opened it slowly. There was a tiny white baby owl with huge blue eyes.
- It's so cute! And pretty!- I said while reaching for it,- Thank you!-
- I'll give you some instructions of how to take care of it- my dad told me.
- Is it a girl or a boy?- I asked.
- It's a girl- Chloe answered.
- Freya- I said.
- Sorry?- asked Mr. Branson.
- Her name is Freya- I stated.
Everyone stood up to leave except my dad.
- It's not just a normal owl- he started,- it's like a guardian. It will always be with you. And while you have this on you can see through its eyes- he said while taking a small white necklace with a blue wing hanging from it.
- That's amazing!- I took the necklace and admired it for quite a while. I put it on and patted Freya on the head.
- Let's go to your room- said my dad.
We went to my room, which is located in the last floors of the building along with the other agents' quarters. It was a little more luxurious than the rest since de director has taken a liking for me! It was still small with a bed on a corner, a small desk next to it, a VERY small kitchen, a couch and a TV, on the wall farthest away from the door was a door that led to the bathroom. Life here is kinda boring, it's times like this that I really wish Zach or any of my friends were here with me. I touched my necklace and tried to see through Freya's eyes. It was amazing! I could see practically everything, every dust particle on the floor, on the air, the tiny little imperfections on the window. I took off the necklace and put it in the safest place I knew, which I'm not going to tell you because it wouldn't be safe anymore. There was a knock on the door, I stood up and went to open it.
- Hey!- said Chloe who was standing on the other side of the door.
- Hi- I said surprised, it's been a while since we last spoke.
- I know you're surprised, I haven't been the best of friends. I'm really sorry, it's just that I'm taking a while to adjust to you being here. Which I know is totally unfair and weird since you are the one who's world was turned upside down.- she explained.
- It's okay, wanna come in?- I asked
- Sure- she came in and I sat on the bed while she sat on the chair from the desk, - Your new pet is pretty cool-
- Thanks! Does everyone have one? Or is this my parents doing?- I questioned.
- The director tries to give everyone something special- she answered.
- What did he give you?-
- I also have an animal-
- What is it?-
- He's something really special, he can turn himself into whatever he feels like. If he wants to be a dog, he's a dog, if he wants to be an eagle, he's an eagle. He's super useful-
- That's pretty cool. Can I meet him?-
- Of course. Come on, my room's four doors down-
We stood up and went to her room. It was similar to mine, hers had a different accommodation and look more personalized while mine looks almost inhabited since I didn't bring much with me and haven't lived here much. I heard steps coming and from the bathroom door came a tiny shi tzu dog, it had gold and white fur.
- He's sooo cute!- I squealed.
- Thanks!- answered Chloe.
We spent the rest of the day talking, watching TV, and having fun. It was great connecting with her again, she is great company and a very good listener. I felt like a normal teenager again.
