My version of Gallagher Girls. Gillian founds Gallagher academy.

I walk down the street as if nothing happened... As if, I didnt just sneak out of the Invercauld Castle. Freaking Scotland... It's about to be dawn, so I'm happy i got my ass out of there when I did. I silently sneak down the road with the sword of William Claymore. As I near the end of the drive, I hear an ear-piercing scream. They must have found that the sword is missing. Oops... I turn the drive and sneak onto the secret path i found while first scanning the perimeter. I silently sneak down the path, then later on my sneaking turns into jogging and my jogging turns into running.

I turn left down the path, full sprint, and without seeing him. Run smack into a boy who looks about my age. As quickly as possible, I kick the sword under a pile of leaves. Hoping he doesnt see the sword, I rub my head and slowly get up.

"Sorry-"

"No, it was my fault."

"No, I should have seen you coming. But, you were barreling down the path." After a few silent moments he says: "I'm Leo Claymore."

I'm in some deep trouble...

"Like the Leo Claymore. Like Prince Leo-"

"Yes..." After we stand there in silence he asks: "What's your name?"

"Gilly." I say hesitantly.

"What an odd name." He says. "What does it stand for?"

"Gillian." I have no clue why I am telling him my name...

"You know like Gillian Windsor. Like the Royalty-" When really, I'm named for Gillian Taylor. The best known spy for Queen Elizabeth II in history.

"Yes, I know who she is."

"I should get going."

"I probably should too, Harry is probably wondering where I ran off to."

Not bothering to ask who Harry is, I wave as I walk/jog into the forest.

I'm not 20 feet from him and in the forest when I hear.

"Leo!"

With that it sends him off running back to the Castle.

As soon as I am pretty sure he is out of sight. I carefully sneak out of the forest and to where I dropped the sword, thankful he didn't see it. I am about to the sword when I hear footsteps, as fast as I can. I run behind a thick tree.

"I will be right there, Harry!" I peek out from behind the tree and see something shiny by where I was standing. My hand instantly goes up to my neck. My locket. I dropped it. I should have fixed that clasp earlier like Aniera was telling me. I snuck out of boarding school so I could do this and now I am regretting coming. I see Leo bend down and pick up my locket, I mouth:

'No!'

My mother gave that to me before I was sent to boarding school. She said 'Never lose this, it's important.'

Look what's happening now. Just what I was afraid of. Though, maybe I should have taken it off, I never take it off so that's the problem. I see him flip it over i his hands a few times and shoves it in his pocket, while walking away.

'This is bad... This is REALLY bad. I mean I stole his sword, but he took my necklace. It's not the same. I'm supposed to show up at HQ with this thing.'

I stare down at the sword in my hands. It shines against the light coming in through the tops of the trees. It glints a little and I see something engraved in it in beautiful script. Near the top just under the hilt it reads:

"Ioseph Cavan"

Wait, what. Why is this- Huh? But I thought-

I set it inside a tree that is good for hiding objects. I hide it with leaves after its in the fallen trunk and walk away. I HAVE to get this back. I need to a) get this sword back in that castle and b) get my locket back. The locket is easy. Sword... not so much...
