I gasped as the tomato sauce seeped down my shirt. I looked at fear and scowled.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR." My face probably matched the color of the tomato sauce because of how mad I was.
"You weren't paying attention." He responded as he set the can of tomato sauce down.
We were all standing around disappointed a group got our job first. Then we found out it was rat hunting and we all almost died of relief.
"My mom's home and she's gonna kill me." I shuddered at the though of her screaming. There was nothing I was more afraid of them my mother.
She was 45 years old and had silver hair growing in her dark brown hair. Her eyes were cold brown. She had a temper and was very loud and hurtful when she was mad. She never apologized even if she did something wrong and could never be wrong no matter what.
"Not my fault." Mr. Fear shrugged his shoulder and handed me paper towels.
"Here." Agatha handed me a shirt and skirt to change into. I felt like being a brat and stripped out of my cloths in front of him and Agatha. Mr. Fear instantly looked away as I changed.
"Well I guess we know he has some moral respect." I spat as the anger inside of me boiled up. I didn't know what I expected him to do I was just happy he was respectful enough to look away.
"What's going on?" Loral asked as Mr. Fear stalked out of the room.
"He was being rude and threw tomato sauce at me." I pointed my finger in the direction he went.
"Don't be mad Daisy he does that to everyone at least once." Loral sighed and picked my dirty clothes up.
"I'll just put those in my office and get them tomorrow since my mom is here and she would freak if she saw I ruined my cloths." I was slowly calming down as Loral put the cloths in a bag.
"You go home I'll put them in the office." I nodded my head and mumbled thank you.
"Hey Daisy." I paused at the doorway and turned to look at Loral.
"Don't take what he does personally ok?" I nodded my head and rushed down the stairs to head home.
I decided it would be faster to take the subway instead of walking. When I reached my apartment I took a deep breath and prepared to talk to my mom.
"Hello." I called out as I entered the living room to see Kat sitting on the floor passed out and my mom on the couch sleeping as well. I walked over to Kat and shook her awake.
"What?" Kat slapped my arm as I pulled her into standing position.
"Thanks for getting my mom." I pointed to my mom who was starting to wake up.
"No problem girly, me and your mom had a pretty serious talk." She said as I looked at my mom in disbelief.
"Oh look who finally got home." My mom was now sitting up and looking at me and Kat.
"Well Kat I'll talk to you later, thanks for picking up my mom and I'll tell all about my first day later k." I hugged Kat tightly and patted her back.
Once Kat left I sat down next to mom.
"So how was your first day of work?" My stomach growled right as my mom asked me. I realized I hadn't eaten lunch. I did a mental face palm.
"Mom can we talk over wonderful dinner?" I stood up and walked into the kitchen to see a Chinese food bag on the table.
"I made Kat order some food since I figured you would forget to eat lunch. You always forget to eat lunch when you do something for the first time." Mom sighed and pulled out the food one by one.
I sat down and opened the shrimp fried rice container. I poured the contents into a bowl and started eating.
"My day was amazing." I put my spoon in the bowl. "I have the best workmates ever. They are so nice and kind. I have a huge office and a secretary." I yawned really big. "I mostly was taken on a tour oh and there's a balcony it's beautiful." I felt my eyes start drooping as I yawned again.
"I think you should go to bed." My mom said in the sweetest voice she could make. I nodded my head and dragged myself to my room and I fell asleep the instant I hit the bed.
Dream...
The screeching of brakes filled my head as my mom turned the corner in Montrose. The water in the river was slowly rising as we raced by. I looked behind us to see why we were going so fast and saw a huge wave. It was as tall as the Empire State Building and it was as black as a night with no stars.
There was little distance between us and the wave. My mom kept driving faster. I looked out the window and saw a man standing in the field. He barely had any cloths on. He was screaming something but I couldn't hear it. I rolled the window down to understand what he was saying.
"We are being punished." The man dropped to his knees as the black wave engulfed him. Everything slowed down as the blackness swallowed me.
"You will be punished." Echoed through my head.
Real world
I rolled over and saw that my clock read 7:15am. I sighed and threw my confided off me and went into the bathroom.
My hair was a mess. It stuck up in weird places, it was curly and it was straight all at the same time.
"Daisy there's someone here for you." My mom yelled from the living room. I quickly brushed my hair and went to see who was here to see me.
"Hey." Mary stood next to my mom waving. "We need you at the office asap." Her voice was quiet but serious.
"Let me throw on some cloths first." Mary nodded and I ran to my room to put cloths on.
I grabbed my black skirt and gray long sleeved top to wear. When I came back out Mary was holding a granola bar and a juice box.
"There is a meeting you need to attend." Mary handed me the granola bar as we rushed down the street.
"What's the meeting about?" I handed Mary the wrapper as she gave me the juice box.
"If you are really right for the job." I handed Mary the juice box as we entered the building and headed towards the elevator.
"I though they already figured that out." I clicked the button 68.
"We did, it's time for Mr. Gobeck and Mrs. Gobeck to choose." I hummed to the elevator music as we went up.
"Ok?" I gave her a confused look as we excited the elevators and entered the stairway.
"They will probably say yes." I pulled the button to open the hidden door and started up the steps. "They will like you Daisy don't worry." We entered the HQ and hurried to my office.
"Is there anything I need to say?" I sat down at my desk and took deep breaths.
"Probably not." Mary shrugged her shoulders as Loral, Mathew, Grayson, Agatha and Mr. Fear entered the room.
"Don't worry Daisy, just flatter them with your Daisy talk." Loral said as she walked over to the window.
"Um no only talk of you feel the urge to." Mr. Fear said as he stood next to my desk.
A man that was extremely tall and a petit woman walked in as Mr. Fear talked.
The man was tall with blond hair and blue eyes. He had huge toned muscles and he exported power and authority from every pore in his body.
The woman was tiny with brown hair the curled near the bottom. Her brown eyes were soft as her features made her seem like a kind and calm woman.
"Hello." I said and gave them my best smile.
"I like her already." The woman said as she sat down.
"Hush." The man raised his hand as if to quiet us down even though we were pretty much silent.
"Oh don't scare the poor girl." The woman lowered the mans hand slowly. "My name is Maria and this is Dante but we would prefer that you avoid using our name as much as possible." She motioned for me to sit across from them. Not wanting them to dislike me I did exactly what she wanted.
"Why, why do we need a mortal in here?"Dante turned and looked at Maria.
"Because she is amazingly talented and could help us in many ways dear." She smiled at me.
"So, Daisy." He said my name so snotty I felt like punching him. "Why are you good for this job?" He stated at me with boredom in my eyes.
"Well sir," I responded adding a touch of additive in response to the way he said my name. "I don't know what this job is exactly. No one explained it to me." I watched his body movement but he wasn't doing anything so I couldn't read what his reaction would be.
"You, you think it's ok to be disrespectful." His voice now boomed with authority as I cringed.
"No, I just think being honest is an extremely important task sir." I responded quickly I knew I couldn't loose any moment in this conversation.
"I like her, she'll be staying Dante." Maria said as she stood to her feet. "You are respectful, curious and know how to poke and prod but not get hurt well doing it or after doing it." Dante rose to his feet well grumbling something. "I like that so Daisy you'll be staying." With that the two of them walked out of the room.
"Wow." I looked over at Loral.
"What?" I looked around and saw everyone with the same shocked look on there face.
"You just got accepted." Agatha clapped her hands and smiled.
"Did you guys think I wasn't?" I asked as Mary hugged me.
"Maria doesn't normally do choosing unless they really want someone gone. But, she kept you here so there plan just backfired." Loral had her Chesire cat smiled back on her face.
"Well now no one can get rid of you without breaking some serious immortal codes. So I guess welcome to the team officially Daisy." Mr. fear smiled from the corner.
"Hey Loral."
"Yea?"
"Guess what I just did."
"You just earned Maria's approval?"
"Nope." They all looked at me confused now.
"Well what did you do?" Agatha asked as she looked between me and Loral.
"I just made Mr. Fear smile, in this place." A huge smile appeared on my face as the rest of them registered what I had said.
"Oh come on it's not that big of a deal I've smiled before." Mr. Fear said.
We all laughed and shook our head no.
Anonymous P.O.V
I waited till the older woman had left to go to the grocery store. I opened the door slowly making sure that no one else was home. I flicked on the light in the kitchen. The room was plain, noting dumb but nothing exotic.
I heard the front door swing open.
"Hello," it was a girl, the target.
I flicked the light off to catch her attention. It did. She slowly crept to the kitchen. The light switch went up but the lights didn't turn on.
"Hello?" I leaped from my hiding spot and attacked her.
I kept one hand placed over her mouth and shoved a kitchen knife into her throat. I felt her body shutter beneath me.
"Target annihilated." I said into my ear mic.
"Good." I heard the boss chuckling as I dropped the note on the floor and padded softly out of the apartment.

Montrose is a real place in Pennsylvania. It's very tiny and placed kinda in the middle of nowhere. But it has one of the best diners ever. Anyway I'm just happy people are actually reading my book so... THANKS. Also it's state testing this week so I might be updating a lot since I have so many study halls.
