Alright, so I know I said I wasn't going to start a new fanfic until after the semester ends, but this is something someone had requested and I haven't been able to get it out of my head, so I decided to write the first chapter. It's short, but I just want to see what you all think. Please review and if you have ANY suggestions let me know. I already have some story line in mind for this. I have actually been thinking about it a lot, it's just a matter of getting it down. So without further ado...here is the first chapter! Review please!

Inception belongs to the genius, Christopher Nolan


November - Month 1

Ariadne was determined. Today would be the day she'd tell Arthur. She had to. She had been keeping it from him for a while, and now that she was certain she had to tell him.

As she walked down the streets of Paris, she sighed happily and closed her eyes, letting the breeze flow through her hair. It was nice weather for November and she was enjoying the last bit of warmth before it started to get cold. Tugging at her scarf, she opened her eyes and stopped by a park, pulling out her sketchpad and pencil.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting there, but it wasn't until her phone starting ringing that she realized it was getting late. Arthur was probably worried about her.

"Hello?" She asked, quickly shoving her things into her messenger bag.

"Ari? Where are you?" Arthur asked, worry etched in his voice.

"I stopped at a park and started to sketch. I lost track of time. Sorry. I'll be home soon." She replied.

"I can order some food and pick it up if you want." Arthur offered.

"I was thinking of having a homemade meal today."

"Alright. Is there anything in particular that you want? I'll get it started." Arthur asked.

Ariadne heard some shuffling and she smiled. "No, nothing in particular. Surprise me."

"Excuse me miss?" A man tapped her on her shoulder and she cautiously turned around.

"Who's that?" Arthur asked.

"Yes?" Ariadne stepped back and eyed the man warily.

"I believe this is yours." The man held out a necklace and Ariadne frowned.

"No, that's not mine." Ariadne stepped back again, but the man stepped forward, grabbing her shoulder. "Don't touch me! Let go!" Ariadne shouted, struggling to get away from the man.

Arthur's voice was loud through the speakers and Ariadne knew she had to let him know what was happening before the man tried to take her phone.

"You're coming with me!" The man shouting pulling at her hair.

Ariadne let out a small scream and clung to her phone tightly. "Arthur!"

"Ariadne! Where are you?" He asked.

"At the park a couple blocks from the house. You know where we went for our first date?" She quickly said, as the man reached for her phone and pried it out of her fingers.

"Arthur! Hurry!" She screamed. She fought as best as she could, but the man was too strong for her and he managed to pull her into an alley where no one would see them.

"Sweet dreams." He said, covering her mouth and nose with a cloth. Ariadne struggled and held her breath, trying not to let the man knock her out.

It was no use, she finally inhaled and soon everything became blurry. The last thing she remembered was two other men coming and lifting her up into a van.


Arthur wasted no time. He ran to the park, worried. He managed to call Eames and let him know what was happening before he arrived at the park. He looked around and saw no sign of her. He cursed and spotted her messenger bag.

He rushed to it and snatched it up, digging through it for any signs of who may have taken her. On the ground not too far away was her phone, next to it was a small business card.

Arthur calmly picked it up and turned it over.

Hello Arthur. I'm sure you'll figure out who this is and where we've taken your wife. If you want her alive you'll have to find her. How long we will keep her alive is up to you. Don't do anything stupid. And when you find her, you're going to perform an Inception for us. The clock is ticking. –C

Arthur frowned and cursed. He walked to the nearest bench and called Eames back. It rang a few times before he finally picked up.

"What's the news?" Eames asked.

"They took her. I think it was Cobol, but I'm not sure." Arthur ran his hand through his hair and leaned back, closing his eyes.

"Well what's the plan?"

"I don't know yet. They want me to find her and after I find her we have to perform Inception for them. They didn't give any details. I'm not sure if we should call Cobb."

"If you think it's necessary."

"I don't want to take him away from his kids so soon." Arthur admitted.

" Arthur, it's been over two years now. I'm sure he'd help. It's up to you though. We can do it with or without him. I'll meet you at your house tomorrow. Just don't do anything stupid."

Arthur grunted. "Yeah right."

"Take it easy darling. Things will be alright." Eames tried to assure Arthur.

"See you tomorrow." Arthur sighed and shut his phone. This wasn't going to be easy. She could be anywhere in the world. The only way to find her was to figure out who took her and track them.


So yeah, it was a short chapter. It's kind of just opening things up. Things will get explained later on in chapters, but I wanted to go ahead and throw them into troubles right away. It's how this story will go. So again, let me know what you think. This was a request, so I hope that it will live up to expectations!
