James and I discussed our feelings about the loss of mom and dad. There were a few tears here and there but everything turned out well.

I realized we bonded so much that now our self esteem is amazing. No more depressive secrets to hide from one another.

James told me that he almost got into use of drugs and alcohol. He rejected the thought though because he knew there was another way to solve the misery inside of him.

During the whole night. I could not seem to fall asleep. I was too busy wondering what my upcoming quest would be. Commander Peterson's words played over and over again in my head repeatedly "Alright, this quest is something that will just complete your life. There, I can not talk about it more or I will spoil everything." and what could that be?

It was Morning already. James must have been in the Kitchen because I could hear pots and pans, plates and platters clinking against each other in a not so soothing sound.

"Will you stop with the annoying sound! Sheesh, your so obnoxious!" I shouted at the top of my lugs from my room so he could hear me all the from the Kitchen.

He stopped a minute later. I heard footsteps making there way to my room.

James knocked on the door slightly.

"What do you want, James?" I asked with a groan. He started opening the blinds. "No! Don't do that I'm Dracula, I must not see the light right now." I played with my voice into a Italian Vampire accent.

"It is time for you to wake up, Elouise."

"Hey, I don't care and I don't want too."

"Fine then, I guess I will have to get you out of bed the hard way." James got ahold of my legs and practically pulled me out of bed. Just like those funny scary movies where the ghost grabs the victim and drags them to their doom.

"Stop it!" my foot connected to his stomach in a fast second.

"Wow! You almost killed me right there." he said with a tired voice.

Finally I gave up, " I'm up, I'm up!" my hands rose in surrender and defeat.

I drove both James and I to the institute. It was only 10 minutes away from where we lived. Did I mention we live in the city of Santa Rosa, California.

Nobody really knew about the Institute because it was hidden deep down in the downtown area. The population here was very low and that made it easier for the Institute.

"So, what do you think your quest is going to be?" James asked as he looked by the window of the passenger seat.

"I have no clue." I responded. Quiet was so boring so I decided to play my favorite band. One Direction. My brother saw me reaching for their album, Midnight Memories, and just groaned.

"Elouise please not again! Their music is not even good." he did not like them at all but that wasn't going to stop me from playing their music.

"You are wrong, and come on they are better than you."

"Uh, I can sing," James stated.

"Oh yeah? Show me then." if I wasn't driving I would have stopped what I was doing and glared at him until a nice vocal chord came out of him.

"Ehm...'Your in the cure, don't know what for. Your head is falling off of the board-'" I burst out laughing.

"Oh my goodness, James that is not even close to the lyrics. By the way, you suck at singing." I point out.

James keeps on messing up the lyrics until we get to the institute. I'm glad the torture stopped.

We say our goodbyes and go our separate ways.

Commander Peterson is already waiting for me when I get inside.

"Elouise," he calls out. "Are you ready to find out what your quest is?" he asks.

"Yes sir."

He made me follow him into his office. We passed by the snobby secretary on our way there. All she did was glance at us with a snobby smile.

"Okay so would you like me to tell you or just give you the letter saying so?"

"Just go ahead and tell me. I have been dying to hear it!" I feel so impatient.

"Okay, here goes," he opens the letter and reads off of it." Dear Elouise, your quest is to help protect one of our celebrities that is in great danger of Commander Iria. You shall put all your effort to keep that person safe. With no further or do, the institute Asiol's Protectors, sends you, Elouise Kenner, to protect celebrity...."
