National Treasure

The Truth.

Skylar's pov
After about 20 to 30 minutes of yelling at my mom about blowing not only my cover but my brother, Nate's, and my dads cover I walked back into the house.

"Ok-" I started but nobody was listening to me at all cause they all were arguing, about what I couldn't tell all of their voices got mixed together, I also saw that Evie and Jacob were sitting on the couch. I looked at Jacob and Evie and we nodded and went out into the kitchen and me and Jacob grabbed one frying pan each then we walked back into the living room where everyone was arguing me and Jacob stand next to each other while Evie stands on the other side of me.

"Three" I started he smiles and looks at me and Evie holds onto my jacket.

"Two" Evie says we raise the frying pans ready to swing at the word.

"One" Jacob says as we banged the frying pans together which cause everyone to look at us at the loud noise as Evie and Jacob chuckled at their reactions.

"Ok anyone have questions?" I asked like nothing happened as I gave Jacob the frying pans and he walked back into the kitchen to put the frying pans back.

"What's an assassin?" Mercedes asked sometimes I'm glad she's stupid and childish but other times it's really annoying cause at times I would like to see a serious side of her. Evie hugs me as Jacob walks back in and gives Arno a hug.

"A bad person" Katie snaps I glare at her cause she be trash talking my 'brothers' and 'sisters' and I won't allow that at least not her and not in front of me.

"An assassin is a person paid to kill people by our boss or Mentors...pretty much a police force but with our own rules and expectations" I explained to her as easily as I could which seemed to work for them.

"Who all in here is an assassin?" Mercedes asked and Katie nods wanting to know as well I guess.

"Me, Skylar, Arno, Nate, and soon Jacob and Evie" my dad says and thankfully they ask no more questions cause the sooner we get this done the sooner we can leave them...I hope but knowing my luck probably not.

"Ok wait who the hell is Nate, Skylar, and Arno?" Katie asked we all looked nervous...damn I was hoping they wouldn't notice but of course they did. I scratched the back of my neck trying to find a way to explain it without making things worse for me.

"Alex is Arno, Aaron is Nate, and I'm Skylar" I say she glares at me but shuts up as I move my arm back to my side.

"Alright let's just unroll the Declaration and get this done" Arno says holding up some old glasses changing the subject which I was thankful for cause he was right.

"Ok take it easy with it" Sacara says when we unroll it we place the paperweights on the corners again as Arno puts the glasses on and looks at it.

"Well?" I asked my brother as his face turns confused which makes me cross my arms.

"Here at the Wall?" He says taking the glasses off and folding them back up placing them on the table I quickly pick them up before they could.

"What?" Sacara asked staring at me before looking up at Arno.

"It says Here at the Wall with the W capitalized" Arno says then we all start thinking with me pacing, everything has been something big with our countries history so think Skylar, I start thinking about Mentor Connor and his adventures when he I remember him talk about a Wall street.

"Wait Wall street and Broadway!" Mercedes says out loud before I can.

"Ok but first I need a drink" Nate says when I nod I laugh. Dad rolls his eyes and takes Evie and Jacob out of the room.

"Wait how old is everyone?" I asked everyone tilting my head. I at least knew me, Arno, and Nate's age.

"Eighteen" Katie says.

"Nineteen" Mercedes chirps. She's that old and she still acts like a child?

"Twenty one" Nate says shrugging his shoulder he was nine when we met.

"Eighteen" Sacara says me and Arno freeze when they all look at us and Nate smirks clearly enjoying our soon to be suffering.

"Well how old are you two?" Katie asked.

'Shit, shit, shit' is the only thought going through my mind and based on the look in his eyes it was running through Arno's head to.

*present*

"Don't repeat those words and or my actions" I warn my kids and they nod.

*flashback*

"Uhh well we are..." Arno trails off looking at me I mutter the answer but they didn't hear it I was hoping they would drop it

"What was that Sky?" Nate asked smirking knowing our age which sucks cause he's dragging this out.

"We're sixteen" Arno says out loud just to get it over with. They all looked at us and Katie starts laughing and falling holding onto her chest.

"Don't laugh we can still kill you!" We snapped at them, cause we fucking hated when people either ignored us or discredited us because of our age which is why we like working with Nate and some other allies because even though he's five years older then us he still trusts us and gives us our credit and knows what we can do, but she still just laughed at us.

"You can't tell me what to do I'm two years older then you" she says I roll my eyes as Arno flinched at that.

"Ok then where's the nearest bar Mrs. Two Years Older?" I asked her she stops and thinks for a moment but stands up I give her a smirk.

"I don't know" she says then we leave following Nate. Me and Arno quickly ran in front of him so they don't talk to us.
