Disclaimer: I do not own Alex Rider or Castle. The plot and all the characters you do not recognize are mine though.

WARNING: Read 'Moments' and 'XYXX' as well as 'How To Ruin Your Last Holiday' before this story. Seriously, you'll need that to understand some of the most important characters and connections.

I probably won't update much or at all in the upcoming weeks, because I have German A-levels which I really need to prepare for. (Biology. I'm more of the creative crowd. No problems with Shakespeare, Goethe, languages or poetry. Give me a scientific formula and my brain goes BOOM.) Afterwards I will spoil you again and update every day, alright?

So here is the best teaser I could come up with.

Enjoy!

Love, W


Prologue:


Shots rang out in the silent hall.

Glass shattered, people screamed and suddenly she was being held at gunpoint.

Freddy had been taken as well. His eyes were wide with shock and fear.

Oh this is just great. Why didn't I listen to Mum and stayed home? she thought when one of the ski-masked robbers pressed the cold metal of a gun into her neck.

She was afraid, yes. But she wasn't terrified.

Honestly. I will never again think museums are boring, was her last thought before someone knocked her out.


When she woke up again, she was in a small room, arms tied together. Freddy sat next to her, bound to a different chair.

He looked shell-shocked and frightened.

Her mother taught her to never let an opponent guess your feelings.

To never panic.

And to never give up hope.

She knew that her mother was not normal.

Mum is influential. And she is going to be absolutely furious when she hears of the kidnapping.


Interested? Yes? No? Some already said yes. Just tell me what YOU think, alright?
