  (SORRY! I've been SUPER busy lately!)

  Bree Morrison peered our the window as her plane touched down at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. Her school. A school for spies. Zachary Goode noticed her looking out the window and quickly moved to block it. Bree frowned.  Zach was making sure that no one could see her. Chase would have done the same thing.
  Chase. He was the only reason that Bree was coming back. Everyone questioned Bree over and over. They didn't understand how Bree was so normal and content. They thought Catherine was a monster. Bree knew the truth. Catherine was brilliant. She never wanted to hurt anyone. Catherine had never hurt her. Catherine had helped her. Bree gulped. Catherine would be upset to know that Bree had left without saying goodbye. It was a spur of the moment type of deal.
  Bree clutched her locket. It had belonged to her grandmother. Bree never took it off. It was everything to her. She automatically felt the comfort that she got when she touched it. The plane touched down and Zach helped Bree off the plane.
  "Ms. Morrison," Bree's teacher, Mr. Solomon said. He was standing next to Bree's headmistress. Otherwise know as Rachel Solomon, grandma to Chase and Anna.  "We've been expecting you." Bree nodded.
  "Bree!" Someone screamed. "Bree Evelyn Morrison!" Bree gaped at the woman running towards her with open arms. The woman that Bree rarely ever saw. The woman was beautiful. Her blonde hair flew behind her.
"Mom!" Bree shouted. Cassie Morrison grabbed her daughter and hugged her tightly.
"Darling, where were you?" A man said from behind Cassie. Bree hadn't seen him in years.
"Dad?" She gasped. "What are you doing here?" Parker Morrison was the director of the secret service. He was always working. Bree was Parker's only daughter. He hadn't even been to his own fathers funeral that had been months before.
"Bree, my only daughter was missing for months. Kidnapped by a terrorist. Why do you think I'm here?" Parker asked. Bree noted how Parker had referred to her as his only daughter. Bree's older sister Kira was technically not his daughter. Cassie had Kira with a different man.
"What happened, dear? Where were you?" Cassie asked. She sounded panicked.
"Australia," Bree said with a shrug. She didn't think it was that big of a deal. She was safe. She had never been in any danger.
"This is not funny, young lady," Parker snapped. Bree shut her mouth.
"Bree!" Someone screamed. Bree looked up and saw Annalise Goode running towards her. Her ringlet curls were bouncing. Anna tried to get to Bree, but was grabbed by her grandparents. Anna fought, but they held her back.
"Angel," Bree said with a smile. "Nice to see you again." Bree almost started laughing. She didn't know why Anna was being held back.
"Bree?" someone said softly. Bree froze. Her breath caught. She slowly moved her eyes to the boy standing close by his sister. He was tall, broad, and beautiful. His dark brown hair and deep green eyes were captivating. Bree stood frozen in place.
"Chase," Bree breathed. He was looking at her as if she were a stranger. Bree smiled at him and laughed. He didn't move. Bree shrugged it off and ran. Her long, wavy blonde hair flew behind her. She jumped into Chase's arms. He was frozen for a second. He finally embraced her. He put his hands in her hair and held her tightly.
"You're back," he whispered into her ear. "I never got to tell you I-"
"Now that's enough of that," Parker barked from behind them. Bree let go and fought the urge to glare at her father.
"I'm not staying," Bree told the group.
"Why? You just got back! Where would you need to go?" Anna asked.
"Back," Bree replied. "I only came back to see Chase. You all needed to know that I was okay."
"You are not going back there, young lady," Parker said firmly.
"Yes I am. I need to go back," Bree cried.
"What happened to you?" Chase whispered. Bree looked at him in confusion. She felt her eyes well up with tears. Chase wasn't looking at her with the loving eyes that he had in the past. He was looking at her with a sort of disgusted look.
"Stay with us, Bree," Anna pleaded.
  "Anna I can't. Catherine has plans for me. I'm going to be very successful," Bree replied.
"You're going to be a monster," Chase snapped. Bree looked at him with hurt eyes. She turned away from the group.
"I'm going to take a walk," she said softly. Of course, some of the adults trailed behind her. No one wanted her to be alone. Chase stormed off to his room. He prepared himself for the talk that he would soon have with Bree.
