Ariana David slipped across the empty kitchen coming to the fridge she paused just to double check before opening it and removing a bottle of apple juice glancing around to reassure herself that nobody was there she placed the bottle to her lips and took two quick gulps before closing the lid and replacing it in the fridge.

"You know if you father finds out you'll be locked in the cellar for a week"

At the sound of the voice ariana whipped round and stealthily removed her gun pointing it into the darkness at the source of the voice.

"Hey no need to get defensive" said Michael as he stepped out of the darkness his long black hair reaching down to his chin. He was a tall handsome man who looked about three years younger than his age of 29. His body was well built and his muscles rippled across his chest. He had been one of ariana close friends and one of the very few people she trusted since she had been a baby ha had looked after her when her dad had neglected to and he had been a vital part of her training to be a mossard agent. He had also been a big help to defend her against her dad when she had got in to sticky situations and he always had a cover story ready for her. So only because it was him did she lower her gun and replied

"you should jump up on me like that you of all people should know that, besides I'm nine now so I can get away with certain pleasures"

"Yeah but nine or not if your father catches you..."

"If my father finds out there is nothing he can do because I will run away to Ari or Ziva or I can live on my own I know how"

"You really think you father will just let you go without a fight" Michael said with raised eyebrows.

" you really think any of my father's minions or you in fact could catch me it would be like a walk in the park besides you'd help me would you" she replied smartly looking up and smiling at him. When Ariana smiled her face lit up and she changed from a cold hard emotionless killer in to a sweet young girl whose innocence was still fully intact however it was a very rare occasion when ariana smiled so very few ever got to see it.

"Hey come on give me some credit you'd probably struggle against me"

"Only if you had a weapon otherwise I would kick your butt" replied Ariana laughing.

She paused to look at the ceiling and sighed she had training in the morning at 5:15 am sharp just like every other morning glancing at the clock she noticed it was 3am already.

"I'd better get some sleep ill see u at training tomorrow" she said walking out of the kitchen towards the dorms.

"Night" said Michael watching her go with a small smile " and we will see about you beating me at training tomorrow"

Ariana groaned as the alarm went off signalling the 5am get up. She sighed as she rolled over and got out of her bed and switched on the light switch. Ariana had been born to Eli David and a young girl named Maria who had died during a mission. Eli never talked about her and had never really cared about the children they had had. Everybody said she was the only person he ever loved and ariana knowing him thought it likely this to be true. The only information she had gathered about her mother had come from Ziva and her brother Ari she could have found out more if she wanted to but from the impression she got from b=her siblings she was a cold hearted and cruel as their father so she had never truly wanted to know any more.

She sighed and as quick as possible she dressed ignoring the morning conversations from the men dressing next to her. As she looked in her draw she picked a black tank top with some comfy loose fitting joggers and her army boots. Ariana wasn't like normal girls her age when it came to clothes whenever she went on missions she was given clothes which were suitable for the missions and s since whenever she wasn't on missions she was mainly training and she rarely left the compound she had no need for any clothes apart from one she would wear for training therefore she was rarely found in anything but black tank tops and joggers.

She grabbed her rucksack after washing in the small sink in the corner and slipped out the door down the corridor and into the kitchen she was had snuck in to the night before. She was as usual one of the first to arrive and after grabbing herself and bland bowl of porridge from the front of the dining hall she settled on her usual chair and looked around the room. Everything was as it usually was at morning training the weak ones were beginning to break and the strong ones were thriving which was how it always was half way through the training soon she knew the weak ones would be dropping out unable to take the pressure ariana had seen it all before.

She was a special agent she was so good and so young she was very useful and so she spent very little time on missions and was only used when very necessary she had been on less than 30 cases in her whole life and so spent most of her time moving around from training facility's when new people came they were shocked to see her there as there were very few women who worked for mossard also because of her age. Many of the tougher men would attempt to take her on and show off how though they were but she was always ready just as she was trained to be and they would end up waking up in the medical unit of the compound days later after the first day people learned to leave her alone and often she made friends.
