Well, when you
have been through the things I have been through, you’d find yourself doing
things like that too! I don’t like to be lied to because I watched fellow spies
die on missions for a cause they thought was right but it was really wrong!
That is so wrong! And I have spent most of my life lying because no one could
ever know I was a spy. When I had
missions, I would have to fake sick and then go back to my dorm room and sneak
out soon as it was dark. Of course, the
agency made that pretty easy but that’s beside the point. Yes, I am a traitor
to my King, but what’s important is that I’m doing what’s right! I am not lying
to everyone else though, I only lied to you because you were a stranger and it
made me uneasy not being able to actually meet you. And again you are wrong, I know exactly who I
am – I am Avery Carter and very important member of
Brant’s Council and I used to be a spy for my King. I am not completely sure, but I have a good
idea why I have been lied to as well.
Do I plan to
kill my king? That’s an interesting
question. I don’t personally plan on
killing my king but I plan on destroying his throne! I plan on breaking up his kingdom. Brant, the rebellion leader, may have
different plans, however.
Were you demoted because the Order of the Saints and
the Counsel of the Arch Angels didn’t believe you? Why didn’t they believe you? What are you
guarding these children from and why is it a step down from whatever you were
doing?
And to answer
your question about sending teens, well they send one adult with each group of
teens, but they have to train and prepare the teens somehow right? They have to give us the chance to learn for
ourselves. Besides, the missions we go
on aren’t as dangerous as the ones the adult spies go on, and most adult spies
run the agency because they are too old to go on missions. Another thing is they have trained us very
hard and we have to be really good at what we do to be sent on a lot of
missions and stuff, so its not like they are leaving these missions in
inexperienced hands. I have only failed
on mission. So no, we aren’t doing the
dirty work for the adults – I believe there are just some
things adults cannot do, but that teens could do better.
Now about Brant
and what he told us that day ... Brant told us the history of our country
Lyndon, which started with two brothers who were heirs to their father’s
kingdom. When their father died
unexpectedly there was a war over the thrown, the older brother Charlton (I got them
mixed up earlier but this is actually the good guy and her king is Julian) was the
rightful heir but the younger brother Julian argued that he would rule
better. The country was split into two
opposing sides and the civil war went on long enough that another country
stepped in and split the small country into two smaller countries, each ruled
by one of the brothers. Charlton created
a democracy where his people would have more rights and freedoms which is what
they had wanted in the first place, but Julian created a monarchy and gave
himself all the power and his people had very little rights! Within the first
ten years of his reign, rebellions began in his country, what they wanted was
more rights. Brant Tucker was the
rebellion leader. This is where I came in because the king had us created to
destroy members of the rebellion. What
we had been told by the King, was that Brant’s rebellion was a killing machine
that didn’t care about people, but that didn’t want Julian, an honorable man,
(he had called himself) as the king because Brant wanted power. In Julian’s story, Charlton had nothing to do
with the rebellion, but Brant had seen what it was like to live in Charlton’s
country and that was what he wanted.
Now you want to
know how I knew Brant wasn’t lying to me? This is why... I have met both of
these leaders in person. I met king
Julian once, when I was given an award for complete a really important mission
and killing a lot of people. It was
interesting being in his presence because although he was honoring me in front
of his court and his counsel, it was all about himself. And although it was a special occasion and
everyone was on their best behavior, I could see how his servants felt about
him – there was a little resent and some fear! When he
spoke to me there was something about him that made me angry but I didn’t know
what it was until I met Brant Tucker.
When I looked
Brant in the eye, I saw sincere concern and as he spoke I couldn’t help but
believe him! How people acted around him was a big hint too, everyone admired
him and you could see it in their eyes.
But most of all, our supervisor Miss Carlie believed him. She’s a smart
women and I trust her judgment.
Okay, I can
sorta understand what you mean by Our Father loving us more than you but I
hardly believe that! Your description of heaven sounds interesting... I don’t
know what my idea of heaven is like.
Okay, so when I
say my parents are supposed to keep me under control I mean they are kinda
seeing what happens when I am back in civilization, see if anything odd starts
happening. When I was found and rescued
by the agency they took me back to headquarters and ran a lot of tests on
me. They determined health wise I was
fine and physically my body was still in pristine condition, but they didn’t
know what my mental state was. They were
worried that I would suffer from the torturing I received – I told
them a lot of things that had happened, all of them lies – and they
didn’t know if I would go crazy so they put me under heavy surveillance. They
said they would allow me a recovery period before I would be able to do more
missions or go to public school but I have a feeling that was a lie.
Oh okay I
understand why you don’t see Celsabourne so much. That’s an interesting story
about justified trouble I must say ... why are you afraid it’s too late?
That is a lot
to ask of anyone, and it seems like it would be really hard to be an angel...
If you could choose between being an human or an angel, which would you choose?
To be a spy,
you must be an orphan because you can’t have people who you love because they
become your weakness – which is exactly what happened
when our supervisor went missing, we went after her and risked our lives! Also
its easier for them to relocate us if they need to and things like that if
we’re just an orphan. And I must say,
it’s a better life than most orphans in the world have, because we will always
get food, a place to live, and a good education. The only thing is if you know
everything that being a spy entails you might not choose it, but there are a
lot of benefits too. The only problem is
none of us got to choose to be a spy. We’ve been trained since we were little
and then if we passed the test, we became a spy.
So I’m not
completely sure I understand how your feelings work. Is it like a sympathy thing, were when
someone dies you feel their pain or is it just that you feel complete sorrow
because you know them better than humans could... so when you say humans could
never get over it, how come you can? What’s it like?
Yes, I hope
that there is a way for me to find them but the problem is, I don’t know if
they would want me back... I’m not like other humans; I have been
modified. I was turned into a killing
machine and then I did what I was created for, I killed a lot of humans before
I met Brant Tucker and no matter what I do to try and fix things, I can’t bring
them back. I don’t know if anyone would want me.
