Secrets Kill

The Struggle

I outstretched my hands towards the fire, keeping it contained. My body felt limp and frail. Then she appeared to me.

" Atlanta, you may stop now." I dropped my arms and collapsed on the ground. The rain pelted down on my back but I took no notice.

" May I return home?" My voice was weak.

" You may." Her answer my short but it meant a lot for me. Her image flickered then disappeared . I clicked my fingers and followed.

I woke up in a familiar place. I was in my house on my home planet of Onyx. I made my way to the palace to see the one who had saved me. The guards escorted me through the palace until we got to her room. I knockedr and entered.

" Atlanta." She gave a curt nod.

" I am here for my next mission, Athena."

" Very well. You are to return to earth. You will focus on a boy your age. His name is Decebel Bacillus." Athena handed me a photo of him. He had longish black hair tied back in a ponytail with a fringe over the corner or his forehead. He had on a singlet with the words 'guns and roses' and low cut arm holes. He wore a denim jacket and baggy tan jeans. On his feet were blacks Vans.

" You are to stay there for as long as it takes. Once you have befriended him you are to bring him here and execute him. You leave at sun set. I will have my guards pack you what you need."

" Why do i have to kill him?" I questioned " thats never part of the mission."

" he's different. His blood is wolf." She waved me away and returned to her activity. Wolf blood, i thought, never would iD ever meet one. The palace felt empty, though I knew what longed behind the hundreds of doors. My shoes clicked on the polished marble floors, the gold ceilings loomed high above me. I exited the palace and headed for my home, wondering what tomorrow would bring.

I grabbed the suitcase Athena's guards had packed, said goodbye to my family and, once again, teleported to earth.
