- Unknown.
"I'm honestly surprised you survived this long. " Beatrice snapped her head away from the window to the sound of the unknown female's voice.
"How'd you get in here?" She asked the hooded figure at her door.
A smile formed over the lips of the unknown figure. "Oh it was very easy." She walked further into the room the heels of her black boots clinking against the dirty hard wood floor. "Nothing a simple lock picking wouldn't handle, but you'll learn all about that soon. "
The figure stopped in front of Beatrice and sat down on wobbly wooden chair across from her. Beatrice eyes scanned the woman looking for any signs of who she was.
"Don't be afraid, I am a friend."
"I'm not afraid and I have no friends. "She replied her timid voice growing stronger
"Oh really?" The figure ask as she pulled her hood down so it revealed her short black hair, high cheek boned, and dark analyzing eyes. "Not even Elizabeth Frankel? You to use to be the best of friends with her."
Beatrice cleansed her bruised fist at the mention of that name. "I don't know what your talking about. "She lied.
"She's your sister isn't she?" She replied not buying it.
A mix of emotions crossed Beatrice's face before settling back to her usual blank stare. "Yes. If your looking for her she's not here."
The woman laughed. " Oh I know right where she is. I'm room mates with her in fact."
A shocked expression came over Beatrice face as her body relaxed a little. "Your from the school?" She breathed. The school that Beatrice had been day dreaming about for the past four year.
The woman nodded. "Yes my name is Etsu Hayashi. I serve as a recruiter for St. Agatha's Academy for special girls. "
"Your here to recruit me?" The surprise was clear in her soft voice.
"Indeed. St. Agatha has been watching you for a long time Beatrice."
"Bea." She corrected. "I go by Bea."
"Bea." Etsu nodded before unzipping her jacket and pulling a white envelope from her pocket. She handed it to her.
Bea looked down at the envelope in her hand. The wax seal was marked with an Elegant A. " St. Agatha is a school for very gifted girl. You see we only takes in girls that fit very specific requirements. "
Bea looked up at her, her blonde fringe falling lightly in front of her face. "Like what?" She asked skeptically as she brushed the hairs away.
" You must have certain physical and mental qualification all of which you do and most importantly you must be able to survive a unpleasant event. That is what we do at St. Agatha's we survive . We are survivors."
"Survivors?" She asked confusion clear in her voice. "I don't understand. "
"You have survived an unfortunate event. Many unfortunate events in fact. "
Bea uncomfortably pulled down the sleeve of her sweater over her hand. "Abuse is a tragedy. Dealing with if a miracle. You have been so strong and we at St. Agatha see that. We want to help you like we helped your sister. We want to take you out of your current living situation and put your strength to use in building a future not just for you but for all of man kind. "
Bea gulped and looked at her not believeing her ears. "H How?" She stuttered.
"We train our girls in a very special field. One that uses their intelligence, physic, and strength to not only help them but help other. We shape these ability's so you can go out into the world and help others. If you agree to attend more will be explained to upon your arrival."
"What do I have to do to agree."
"Just sign those papers in your hand. " Bea looked back down and opened the envelope. A contract was stuck inside.
"and my sister? I'll be able to see her again."
Etsu nodded before taking out a pen from her coat and offering it to her. "She's waiting for you as we speak"
Bea took it from her. That was all she really needed to hear to sign her name.
