"Jasper!! Wake Up! Honey, You're Gonna Be Late For School!" Jasper's mom yelled as she entered his room.
Jasper grumbled, "Mom, I'm already eating. Dad is the one who needs to wake up."
After finishing his breakfast, Jasper said his goodbyes and headed to school.
As he entered the school premises, he suddenly remembered something important. "Oh no, I forgot to pick up Mika at her house," he said to himself. Mika, or Mikaela Nicole Silvestre, was his girlfriend.
Jasper waited for Mika at the gate, feeling guilty for forgetting. When Mika finally arrived, Jasper apologized profusely. Mika responded by raising her middle finger, which made Jasper feel worse.
Together, they made their way to class and settled into their usual routine.
As Jasper was sitting in class, a group of men dressed in FBI attire suddenly entered the room. One of them spoke up, "I am looking for someone named Jasper."
Jasper hesitantly approached the agent, asking, "Sir, is there a problem?"
Without answering Jasper's question, the agent grabbed Jasper's arm and began to drag him out of the classroom. Jasper asked, "What's going on? Why are you taking me?"
The agent responded, "I know you saw it. Don't play games with me, child. I know you saw the files, the factions, the Daemons."
Jasper was confused and alarmed, but before he could protest further, the agent's phone rang. The agent answered the call and received urgent news from headquarters.
As the agent hastily dragged Jasper away, they ran through the halls of the school and out into the streets. Jasper struggled to keep up, but the agent moved with impressive speed and agility.
Jasper asked, "What the hell is going on? How are you doing this?"
The agent, now introducing himself as Agent Frost, replied, "Call me Frost. And I'll explain everything once we reach the main base."
When they arrived at the base, Jasper was surprised to see a mountain. Frost told him to wait while the entrance came down. Suddenly, the ground shook, and the entrance appeared in front of them.
Jasper was hesitant to enter, but Frost insisted. "Hell no, you are coming with me," he said.
Frost picked up Jasper and carried him into the base, dropping him on the floor as they entered.
"Put me down! Put me down!" Jasper yelled, but Frost just smirked and led him further into the base.
They kept walking for about five minutes before Jasper asked, "Hey, is--"
Frost quickly shushed him and whispered, "Do you hear that?"
Jasper strained his ears, but he didn't hear anything. Before he could ask again, Frost pulled out a modified gun and said, "Stay low!"
The sound of gunfire echoed through the halls, and Jasper saw two horrific creatures come into view.
"Daemons! How did they get here?" Frost muttered under his breath.
One of the creatures lunged at Frost, tearing his clothes. In that moment, Jasper noticed a tattoo of a dragon on the Frost's arm.
Jasper's eyes widened as he saw the tattoo of a dragon on Frost's arm. "You're in the Dragon Faction," he said in disbelief.
Frost sighed and said, "So you did see it."
Jasper was confused and frustrated. "Saw what?"
"It's okay," Frost said, placing a hand on Jasper's shoulder. "I wouldn't hurt you. I'm one of the good guys. Stay here, I'm going to look for survivors."
