I look at the velvet envelope I'm clutching in my hands. I couldn't believe it. I didn't even know how I felt about it! I was happy, mad and confused. I ran my fingers on the crest. A golden lion. All my life I've been home schooled and now I'm in the most prestigious school in the whole USA! I quickly ran inside, to show my parents. I was reaching for the envelope when I forgot one thing. I didn't know who signed me up. I didn't know if I should be thanking whoever did it or be angry for signing me up without my permission. I was thinking about it when I noticed I didn't open the envelope. I reached for the seal and slowly slipped open the licked seal. I drew out the beige envelope that looked like it has been around for years! I was reading it when I saw the heading. It read "dear Annabelle" with the name Annabelle crossed out and my name on it. That was weird. I mindlessly opened the door to find a horrible sight on the floor.
"Mom! Dad!" I wailed as I rushed to my parents on the floor. I ran my hand across my mom's once rosy checks, now pale. A bit of blood smeared on my finger.
"Bree! Are you here?" I called to my sister. I heard a sound upstairs. She was probably looking through her many drawers again. I ran up the stairs and into her room. Just when I thought today could not get any worst, it did. Instead of Bree rustling around her drawers, I saw a lady. She had beautiful blond hair and wore a black jumpsuit and a black beret.
"Who are you?" I asked cautiously coming into the room. She looked up with a startle, dropping something. I didn't make a move to pick it up and she didn't notice. Maybe when she left, I'd use that as proof for the police.
"You weren't supposed to be here until 5:00!" She said in a French accent.
"Soccer was canceled. Now, I'll ask again, who are you!" I say, raising my voice. The woman, about 18 years old, stared at me blanketed then laughed.
"Do you know who I am?" She said. I shook my head like a dumb child.
"I am Scarlett smith, head spy from Paris!" She said, putting her hand on her hips, all super hero like.
"Cool, but that doesn't explain why you're in my house and my parents are unconscious downstairs." I say, smirking.
"Silly girl. They are not unconscious, they are asleep! I used sleeping powder on then. They'll come to in about a week." She says. I simply gawk at the girl.
"Now, shoo."she said acting like she owned the house. Pa-lees!!!!
I look at her rummage through the drawer when I see her take out a picture I made for Bree when I as 6. That was it. I lunged at her but she was quick. She kicked I dodged, she punched I dodged. Then I attacked and hit her right on her perfect nose.
"You'll pay, Zee brown!"she said before she jumped out the window. I looked at her run then disappear into a bush.
