Cross my Heart and Hope to Die

There is a line between watching spy movies and actually being a spy. In the movies, the main character is a spy who can beat anyone up and save the world from exploding or being overthrown by some madman. They just magically show up and don’t need any training at all. But even I know that everyone needs some training. Take me for instance. When I first saw a spy movie, I was already well into my training. Actually, if you couldn’t tell I am a spy in training. I go to the Williams Academy for Gifted Women. “Gifted” meaning you can do things that not a lot of people in the world can do. This school is an all-girls academy in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania to train young women to protect and kill. The head mistress is my mother, Melody Williams. And my father… I have no idea where or who he is. My mom always says that he abandoned us when I was only six months old. But anyways, my name is Ashley Clara Williams. Let me tell you a story.
