There was a bright light and a loud crash. I could see my parents bloodied bodies lying in front of me. Sobs began to rack my body uncontrollably. I tried to help them, but I was always too late.
Waking up in a tangle of sheets and my face was wet from crying and sweating I looked at my phone. The bright light blinded me for a moment. I turned down the brightness and checked the time. It read 5:37 AM. I groaned but reluctantly got out of bed to get ready. Throwing my hair up into a messy ponytail I put on some shorts and a top.Running was my release from my constant nightmares. Running 2 miles every morning helped me relax. After my run, I got back inside and took a shower. I jumped out of the shower and quickly blow dried my golden blonde hair and curled it. I put on the clothes I picked the night before, and a little bit of makeup highlighting my bright blue eyes. My nose caught the scent downstairs of my mom's homemade granola bars. On the way down I looked at the shelf that held my dad's rare antique Mountain Dew Can. I grabbed a granola bar and some orange juice.My dad, Milo Harper, was sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. "Evelyn are you awake?", I heard my mom, Wanda, yell. I stood in the doorway as she turned around. She jumped up in surprise. I laughed and high-fived my dad who cracked a smile. "Whatcha' working on, Daddy?", I asked "Uh, nothing", he said covering his work. "Honey, I gotta go set up for our meeting, will you meet me there?" He asked my mom. "Sure sweetie." After giving my mom a peck on the cheek, I grabbed my bag and headed outside.
Before going to school, I went to SASS. SASS is the Secret Agency of Southern Saskatchewan. I work for my best friend, Amber's, dad, Nick. I first met Amber and Nick in the 1st grade. We became fast friends, she was with me throughout my adoption stage and the orphanage stage. We are both secret agents. She has had more practice than me and is better, but we are the top ranked in the entire agency. Right now our ongoing battle with "The Other Side" is raging. It doesn't help that one of their best agents comes to our school, his name is Blake Cuttler, all the girls swoon over his bad boy aura. He is just an enemy with a big head and an even bigger ego thinking the world revolves around him. I walked into SASS and greeted the secretary, Ms. Plinsky. She was a short lady with gray eyes and mouse brown hair, she had a kind heart. "Is Mr. Parker in?", I questioned. "He's in the conference room.", she replied with a smile. After going through the employees only office, I walked into the conference room. He looked up and smiled at me holding up one finger as a signal to wait. He was obviously talking to someone of high importance because he was replying with "Yes, Sir", "No, Sir". If it was someone underneath him he usually was relaxed, but now he was quite tense. I waited for 15 minutes before motioning I would come back later. He nodded and shooed me off. After I left SASS I went to go pick up Amber.
I arrived at her house and walked right in, she was at her vanity putting on the finishing touches of her makeup. After she put away her makeup we headed downstairs and got into my Rare 2009 black and gray Lamborghini Murcielago SV. "So we're getting Chinese for lunch later, right?" she asked. "Of course", I replied giving her a knowing smile. I blasted the radio and we sang to every song. When we pulled into th8e school parking lot, I saw Blake leaning on his Ford, smoking. "Of course", I thought. I rolled my eyes at him and headed into the building alongside Amber. We were soon met by Olivia, and the three of us walked down the hall, dropping some jaws along the way. As we reached our lockers that were right beside each other I got an incoming message on my phone, it was from SASS. I quickly opened it with Amber looking over my shoulder. The message read,"We need you pronto at the safehouse. "The Other Side is planning an attack. Don't worry about school, I talked to the principal. He is also an agent. Be here in 10 and don't let Blake see you!!" I gave Amber a worried glance, we have never left during school. This must be important. We went through the office and walked out nobody stopped us. As we walked into the parking lot I saw Blake's truck rounding a corner. Shooting Amber a glance we ran to my car and got buckled. I looked at the picture of my adopted parents and smiled, then hooked my phone to the car and called Nick.
