Please read
Ok for my readers and others
Just to let you know that I am one of those people who has a habit of continually fixing and adjusting my chapters until I am happy with them.
If this gets annoying I am sorry
Also after reading this story a few times I have decided to change the characters a bit including their names.
Because of the age of the characters (my ones) in the story I am changing their ages:
Alex: 24 Cole: 23 Altair: 21
Finola: 23 Zoey: 22 Mai: 21
"The clock ticks faster and faster
While time runs a marathon in this babylon
But see, the end is only the beginning
The beginning of the calm before the storm"
"Bombs Away" - B.O.B ft. Morgan Freeman
Line
A lone figure stood on the edge, torn between the force of the bustling city behind her and the small tree-covered park in front of her. The park itself was not in the best shape; some trees had given up on life and toppled over, the grass had overgrown in some areas and some 'lovely' people of the city decided this was the best place to dump their unwanted belonging.
Especially in the large pond in the middle of the park. The strange thing was that there was not sound not even from the city there was silence…..well almost.
"For the love of god! Finola! What have we told you about running off like that?" The other appeared next to the figure with the look that could kill anything in existence. "Your goddam lucky we have an extra set of keys for the car or it'll be nicked by now" another gentler voice echoed behind them. "Sorry... you know how much I love this place".
Fin also known as Finola was an albino who had the habit of being at the wrong places at the wrong times. As for the name well, both her parents were Irish and when Fin was born, a patch of white hair was the first thing they notices about her so Finola was the name they thought of due to its Irish meaning of white hair.
"Fin, we know you better than that. Just wait, next you'll leave the house unlocked and then we'll lose all our stuff along with the car". That was Zoey, a short tempered, loud mouth kid with the habit of making a bad situation worse.
"Oh, come on Zoey, just let her be". This comes from the gentlest person of the group, Mai.
Mai was like the BFG, big friendly giant. Due to the fact that she was the tallest in the group and also the youngest.
"Yeah, yeah whatever. Butyou'll think she might learn how to lock a car door" Zoey's dramatics were really starting to get the better of her with arms waving all over.
"You know, I'm standing right here and I can hear you talking" the other grumbled with a sudden turn, towards the short one.
"Well, if you were not off with the fairies and pa-"
"Shut up the both of you. Fin here's ya hat, put it on and wear it. Zoey, stop complaining and watch where you step, remember what happened last time". There it was, the magic of the BFG at her best, stoping pointless fights from getting out of control.
"Excuse me for being the one that happened to fall into the bloody pond!" throwing her arms up in the air and continued her march down the slope towards the said pond.
Fin sighed, following after the others.
Well here it is. Her favourite spot in the whole park. Just near the pond, was two large oak trees the seemed to reach the sky. Their shadows stretched out across the pond to the other side and up the slope to where she was standing. It always brought back memories of when she first was here...always.
"Hey, Fin, Fin, Finola!" Zoey waved her hands dramatically in front of Fin's face. "Sorry, I was just...thinking". Zoey looked at her before smiling evilly "oh the horror, Fin's thinking".
Fin spun around quickly to see Zoey sprinting in the opposite direction "oh, just wait till I get my hands on you! You bitch" she screams chasing after her.
"Fin! There's no need to swear like that!" Mai's voice chirped out.
They ran down to the pond's edge when she finally caught up to her "ok, Fin, truce" Zoey gasps, collapsing to the ground.
Mai caught up to them, shaking her head. "You two..."
"Hmm, what does that mean"
"Oh, nothing. Don't mind me"
Soon all three were sitting down near the pond; under those two large oak trees from before, starting up the conversation they were having before they arrived there.
"Say, Mai what's the Assassin's Creed game like. You've been playing it"
.
"it good, some parts are hard but that's the fun of it, I guess." Mai replied.
Zoey's eyes darted up to her "Ok, what part are you up to?"
"I'm up to the part where you kill the grand master"
"Really! Your still there, I thought that you would have finished it by now"
Fin groaned. Here they go again.
Mai gritted her teeth "well where are you up to in Infamous 2...ya still contemplating whether to be good and die or become evil and destroy the world" Mai snapped, God she drove her crazy sometimes.
"Umm...hey! Fin, have you beat the Supreme Hunter or haven't you made it to the ship yet" Zoey said obviously trying to get Mai off her back; the other also turned to her waiting for an answer. "I...I finished" Fin instantly regretted her words as they left her mouth.
In reality she was up to the final fight, but don't want to continue, because then she would finish the game. "Really! What is it like?" the other said excitedly, completely forgot about her previous conversation.
'It's good" she muttered.
"Good? Is that your review? I demand a proper review!" Zoey jumping up, followed by Mai. Both were looking straight at Fin with excitement.
She began to panic; the word "review" was just another word for "tell us the story and all of its spoilers". Fin mentally slapped herself for saying such stupid words, before looking back up to them.
Zoey put her hands on her hips "Fin, how long have we known you?"
"...11 years"
"11 years. So tell me. What does this mean?" Zoey demanded
"I don't know" Fin muttered, shifting her gaze to the others feet.
"What it means is that we know you too well and we can tell when you're lying" Mai said, folding her arms in front of her chest.
"Shit and here I thought I got away with it too" the other said and just like that they were onto her. Mai grabbed Fin's arms, pining her to the ground.
Zoey kneeled next her "Fin, you know what the punishment for lying is" Zoey said in her evil tone. The other braced herself for what came next, then she attacked, Mai held her to the ground while Zoey began to tickle her.
"NO! Stop, please!"
She shouted at the top of her lungs. "No...This is your fault for lying" Mai said behind her with her demonic smile. Fin knew there was only one way out and she put that plan into action.
She pushed herself up, in the process almost flinging Zoey into the pond, Mai was dragged up, because the idiot didn't let go.
Fin then did a sharp spin on the spot, making Mai fly off into Zoey and the two fell back into the pond with Finola, victories.
"VICTORY!" she cried, standing up on one of the rocks that lined the pond.
"No shit, Fin" Zoey groaned, getting ready to tackle her.
"What are you going to do Fin!" Mai said running towards her.
Fin sighed, when she saw something in the corner her eye, turning Fin saw what looked like symbols, growing in size across the ground. "What the fuck" she muttered
"Hey, do you-" that is when all their problems started.
