Hi everyone! Kowalistair here! First of all, I'd like to mention that this is my first story in the Mysterious Benedict Society fanbase and I hope that you all enjoy. I'd also like to note that this won't be one of those boring OC stories where the limelight is taken away from the original characters from the books and it's all about the OCs. I'm not that type of author and you can expect a lot of The Mysterious Benedict Society in this fan fic.
Anyway, please enjoy!
~Preface~
"Carter run!" screamed a teenage girl, grabbing his hand tightly. She sprinted down the street in a blur of movement with him by her side.
"D calm down! You're going to fall asleep again!" the younger boy gasped, concerned for his partner's safety. His short blond hair ruffled around wildly as he tried to keep up with the older girl.
She looked nervously over her shoulder. "If we get caught that's the last thing that we're going to have to worry about! Come on!"
The two kids ran as fast as they could, with the harsh wind and freezing cold rain pounding against their faces as they tried to outmaneuver their pursuers. Carter shivered and hugged his jacket closer to him as the girl named Diana pulled him further along.
The distant sound of a train whistle tweeted loudly as it chugged slowly off into the distance.
"We can make it!" she panted, clutching the searing pain in her side. How long had they been running? An hour? Two? It was hard to tell with all this rain.
A flashlight's bright beam swept over to them and another girl's voice shouted. "There they are! Get back over here Diana! You know that you'll never be able to escape Dad!"
"He's not our dad!" Carter yelled at them.
They were getting closer! The train was only a few yards away! All they needed to do now was jump onto the open car and roll out of town!
"Diana! Carter!"yelled another boy's voice, his suave tone ringing out over the roar of the train's engine as he ran aside the other girl. "What are you expecting to do without us? You have no home, no money, and nobody to support you! Face it, you and your brother are useless without us!"
They were there! All they had to do now was jump on the train in the next minute and they were home free. But the words that Jonathan said bothered Diana in the pit of her stomach. He was right. They had nowhere to go, and definitely couldn't survive on their own without funding.
She stopped and hung her head down low. "Alright Jonathan...I'll go. But I have a question first."
Carter stared at her in disbelief.
He smirked. "I'm glad that you came to your senses. Ask away."
"What's soaking wet and clueless?"
He paused in confusion. "Wha-?"
But before he could finish his sentence, she quickly withdrew a bottle of water from behind her back and threw out all the contents at them. Both cried out in shock and rubbed their eyes painfully.
"Your face!" and with her other hand she snatched Carter from his collar and pulled him onto the passing train car.
Jonathan and the girl named Selena looked up in disbelief to see the two young outlaws riding off on the train and waving to them in mockery as they bid them farewell.
Next stop, Stonetown.
Before you shoot me with a Ten Man's pencil, please let me explain the lack of participation from the main characters in the preface. To be honest, I just wanted to introduce my OC characters in an exciting action scene to tease you reader and also show you the interaction between Diana and Carter. But you can be sure that Reynie guys are coming up next chapter.
Promise.
Now to make the fan fic a little more unique, I'm going to give you all a riddle that will be a hint for the next chapter. If you don't like spoilers, then just avoid figuring it out. Good? Okay then...

Confused? Good. Mwahahaha...
