Summary: A small English family living in Ontario are pulled into a strange series of events after meeting a group of identical looking girls they don't know that the girls might just reveal more about their history
Prologue
Keep running, they can't find it, I'd spent so long hiding it to just let them have it.
"There is no point in running!" I heard the woman who was currently chasing me shout through the cold cement corridors. She was so fast I was sure I was she would catch me any second.
The thing that scared me most thou was that I wasn't who she wanted me to be. But hopefully she would never find that out.
I reached the stairwell and kept on running until I reached the top floor and suddenly stood still when I reached the end of a corridor and stared out of a large window onto the streets of Ontario.
I quickly heard her bounding up behind me. "I told you there was no point in running" she said in a mocking tone. I turned and saw that she had shoulder length blonde hair with streaks of brown running through it. Her eyes a cold, dark grey to match her cruelty. For the first time I noticed that she had a slightly posh English accent and was pointing a gun at me. "Now hand it over!"
I took my hood down and said, "What makes you think I'd do that?"
The look on her face showed that she was clearly shocked, probably by the fact that I was both male and had a French accent.
"You're not the girl" she said looking at me like I'd insulted her.
"No shit" I said in reply
"Well you still have it don't you?" she said trying to look intimidating, but I noticed a small look of panic in her eyes when she realised that since I wasn't who she was looking for I might not have what she wanted either.
"Yes, but you're never going to get your hands on it" I said trying to sound brave.
"Just give it to me," she said trying to scare me by cocking her gun "and you won't get hurt."
"I'll give you it on one condition." I said when I noticed a boy walking on the street outside the window and realised I had got my timing right.
"And what would that be" she said intrigued.
I smiled cheekily at her and prepared to run before saying "you'll have to catch me first".
With that said I turned and sprinted towards the window. I jumped side on to the window while I heard the sound of the woman screaming and a gun being fired.
I suddenly felt a huge pain in the side of my ribs as I crashed through the window but I couldn't tell if it was a bullet or glass. I felt myself fall towards the concrete and realised that I was going to die. I felt an unbelievable amount of pain surge through my body and the boy screaming as I crashed onto the street. I don't know how but by some miracle I had barely survived the fall.
"Oh my god!" the boy shouted as he ran towards me and leaned over me "Don't worry I-I'll call for an ambulance" he told me speaking in what sounded like a London accent.
I grabbed his arm just as he reached into his pocket for his phone. His eyes widened in shock and I couldn't help but smile amused. Poor kid. I felt slightly sorry pulling him into this but I had to, he had already noticed that we were mirror images of each other.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out the red pen drive which I had been protecting fiercely. "Protect it" I muttered, realising that I was breathing my last breaths. "Find Hazel, te-tell her I'm sorry"
The boy looked at me stunned and I realised that the woman would find us any minute and that I had to warn the kid but all I could muster was "Run."
The kid still stared at me "B-but..."
"Run" I said slightly louder. "Go, don't let them find you."
I must have terrified the boy because at that moment he stumbled to his feet and ran in a way that a deer would run when trying to escape a hunter. The last thing I saw was the boy running around the corner of the alley and the last thing I heard was the door to the building where I had been running bursting open as the girl ran out and screamed in anger. I chuckled slightly knowing that I had managed to get the precious item away from her and put in a place where they would probably never find it. With that thought I felt myself slipping as darkness closed in on me.
Hey guys! I know that this isn't the best prologue but I've been really excited about writing this story and putting the plot together has been hell, so I hope that this chapter was good. By the way sorry that I haven't updated my other story, The Untold Story in a while, I've realised that I write really slowly and that I'm not too good at writing Hunger Games stories.
