The Spy, The Assassin, and The Princess (Alex Rider)

No Control

Johanna got out of math and she was tired as hell. The school became a detention center and a boot camp in one. They would have to get up at six in the morning and have four hours of regular classes. They could eat one meal per day which was at five. Then, they would have to attend special classes, that were horrid. Some were classic boxing or mixed martial arts. But others were how to kill someone or what drugs are more affected to kill,by one they were allowed to go to bed. Johanna and the others hated it and wished they were back home.

But, somehow Johanna had a feeling that if they did get out. Where the hell would she go? Her dad was gone and all the money.

"Ms. Faison, you are to report to the main office." Johanna nodded to weak to object. She walked down the cold corridors and into huge wooden doors.

"You wanted to see me."

"Johanna, come and sit." She obeyed.

"I hope you know that your father is missing." She nodded. "Well, let's make a deal. Join the Muetres and I will let your father live."

Johanna froze.

"My father?"

"Don't believe me? Look." He pointed at tv screen. Johanna gasped as she saw her own father tied to a chair all bloody and weak.

"Papa. Let him go."

"Join us then." Johanna looked at the screen and Sir Moon.

"What do I have to do?"

Alex was sweating under the heat of the sun. Lucky, the guards let all the teens have a free day and they went outside. He looked to his right and saw Jr waving at him. Alex kicked the ball and Jr. Ran with it and scoring the winning point. They cheered. Alex smiled, forgetting where he was. Then, the bell rang.

"Until next time, dudes." Finn went in. Alex looked at Johanna who was sitting on the grass not moving. He looked around no one was around.

"Hey, Johanna."

"Hey, Zander."

"Are you sick?" She nodded no.

"What's wrong?" Alex sat down next to her.

"I think I made a bad decision but it was worth it."

"What decision?"

"Joining the enemy." Alex looked at her blue orbs I disbelief.

"Why?"

"My dad....they, they...." She broke right there and she hugged Alex with tears raining down. Alex stiffened but relaxed and hugged back.

"Xzander, they have my dad. They have him tied up and I can't do anything. And the last thing that I told him was I hated him. I hate myself. I always was in control of what happened in my life. Now, I have no control." Alex understood and felt the same way. He was thrown it this awful game, where there was no end or extra lives.

"Anna, it wasn't your fault. What do they want you to do anyway?"

"He wants me to join up with Luther and foil their plans. It's seems even father and son have no trust."

"Okay, just be careful."

"I don't want to tell Luther I want him. I hate him."

"You know how to lie right?"

"I'm a good actress."

"If it helps, I could help you." She nodded and put her head on his shoulder as they watched the sun set on the mountains. Alex kept thinking how he was going to tell her.

"Jo?"

"Mmm."

"I haven't been fair with you guys. The thing is-" Johanna was already asleep.

"Never mind." Alex just sat there until he too fell asleep. And soon both teens were laying on the grass under the stars.
