First chapter. Hope you like it.
Aliki and Laetitia were running. There were big smiles on their faces. It was late and their parents would start worrying about them sooner or later, so they were trying to be as fast as possible.
They finally reached their destination. It was a little cabin in the woods next to their houses. The young girls loved exploring and when they found the abandoned cabin it was immediately turned into their secret place. They hid there whenever they wanted to be alone. That evening was one of those moments.
They stopped by the door gasping for air. After some time laughing, playing and talking nonsense the little girls became serious out of a sudden.
"So, you are leaving tomorrow?" Asked Aliki, her eyes shinning with tears.
"Yes. We'll leave in the morning." Laetitia stared at the ground. She couldn't bring herself to look at her best friend right now.
"But we will still be friends, right?" Aliki stared at her friend. She needed to know their friendship would last forever, because she didn't want to loose her best friend.
"Of course we will." Laetitia raised her head to look at Aliki. "We will be best friends forever!" The little girl opened her arms in a dramatic way, in order to show how long they'd be friends.
"Will I see you again?"
Laetitia scowled and put her hands on her hips, "What a silly question to ask! Of course we will!"
"Good. I'd go as crazy as a hatter if we didn't!"
"I'm the crazy one here, you're not allowed to go crazy 'cause that means I would be sane"
The girls laughed, but it didn't last as much as it used to. They had sad smiles on their faces when they walked in the direction of their respective houses. Laetitia and Aliki lived next to one another since Laetitia moved to Greece when she was three, it would be the first time the two of them were apart and it was breaking the two girls.
When Aliki was about to enter her house, two arms wrapped around her and she could hear someone sobbing, "I don't wanna go, Ally"
The ten-year-old girl felt tears streaming down her face as well. Aliki hugged her back and screamed "Auntie Annie! Can Laetitia sleep with me tonight?"
Annabella, whom had just appeared at the door smiled sadly at the girls. She knew how close they were, and she didn't have it in her to separate them in their last day together.
"Sure, honey. Just remember we're leaving at seven sharp." The woman turned around to get inside her house, feeling a little bit better at the sight of two happy smiles from her girls.
Laetitia and Aliki ran to the older girls house. "Mommy, Titia is sleeping here tonight." Aliki called.
"Alright, darlings, sleep well." Ariadne smiled at the girls, she felt the same way as Annabella. She knew her little girl would suffer from her friend's departure.
That night the girls didn't talk much. They went to bed early. They slept on the same bed. They cuddled each other and cried before finally falling asleep.
Aliki felt a kiss on her forehead, but she didn't know if she had dreamed that
She didn't see her friend leaving though.
She didn't see the other girl wake up crying and leave silently, not wishing to wake her up because she knew she wouldn't leave if she saw Aliki crying too.
Gunshots and yells could be heard by the whole building, but the young woman ignored those sounds. She knew what was happening, but didn't do anything because she had a job to do. Besides, she knew the others could take care of themselves.
She ran to the staircase as fast as possible. She needed that file if she wanted to save the city. On her way, she found a few security guards, who tried to stop her. She didn't like the idea of killing so she tried her best to knock them out. But casualties were bound to happen and she knew that too well.
She got to the command room to face laser lights. That man was surely a fan of the classics. Who used laser light nowadays?
The girl scoffed but found her way to the computer on a blink of an eye. She copied the file as fast as the computer allowed her and implanted another chip. By the time she left the building, those files would be impossible to find.
She smiled gladly as she left the building, knocking some guy out and shooting another.
She felt a hand pulling her and almost killed the man who did it. Fortunately she saw that it was only a friend.
"Damn it, Aliki, couldn't you look?" Marcus complained at her.
"Honey, if I looked, I wouldn't be here today to help you." The curly haired woman answered.
The man rolled his eyes, "I know, thanks by the way."
"I'll destroy them as soon as I get the heads up from my superiors."
"I know you will." Marcus said and saw that the woman had already turned to leave, "And do stay out of trouble, kid."
The woman just glared at him, "I'm eighteen, dick, not five."
"Cause we could be immortals, immortals, just not for long, for long…" A girl hummed while walking in the hallways of the University of Oxford. A few people stared at her strangely, but she didn't care, she was too concentrated on what was happening on her phone.
She would graduate the next day, but she still needed to attend classes, damn school protocols. She had the best grades in the school had seen in the last thirty years or more, but she didn't care too much about that.
So she tried to find something to keep her mind working, which wasn't good as the last time she was bored and tried to do something to keep her mind occupied, she almost blew up a lab.
Let's find a challenge. CIA? Too easy, besides, I already hacked them four years ago. MI6 was better protected, but still too easy to hack. The girl kept making a list of organizations she had already hacked and that ones that were too easy. What's this?
SHIELD? She'd never seen it before, but it surely was something important. So important that no one ever heard of it and had the most well guarded protocols.
She was looking for a challenge. Well, looks like I've just found one. The girl smiled deviously. She cracked her knuckles and started to work.
She found many things, most of them involving crimes and terrorism, nothing out of ordinary, as it seemed. It was probably just another agency from the government. She was starting to get bored again.
She tried to go deeper into the files to get to the dirty part. Every organization has its dirty part and she learned that in the bad way. From now on she would need to be more careful with her traces.
Before she could do anything, she felt something hit her neck, a dart. Next thing she knew: everything was black. But one thing was certain, Laetitia hated sedatives.
Everything was blurred when Laetitia first opened her eyes, like when someone is kidnapped in the movies. That thought managed to make her wake up.
She was in an interrogation room. That much was obvious, she had seen loads of them in files she had hacked from secret organizations. At least she wasn't tied to a chair. They had cuffed her hands on the sides of her metal chair, so she had no chance in getting out by breaking the chair.
Laetitia looked around trying to find more evidence to what the people might do to her. There were no torture devices, so they didn't mean to scare her immediately if they were going to torture her. If they decided to, which she hoped they didn't.
There were three cameras in the room, so they already knew she was awake, but probably wanted to see her reaction.
The red haired girl slouched on the chair and sighed before saying, "Well. Shit happens."
Tell us what you think.
