So this story is a sequel to my other story 'biggest fear' so this story and the oc's may not make much sense without reading the first one. Anyway I will be starting this story after the beginning of the mission but nothing will have happened apart from Alex making friends.
~~~~~Alex POV~~~~~
"Alex! It's so good to see you!" yells Jade, a girl from two years below me with black shoulder length hair and dark brown eyes, from across the school courtyard. She runs towards me and traps me in one of her legendary bone crushing hugs.
"I missed you so much!" she yells in my ear after realising me.
"Jade," I say gripping her shoulders, "it was only the weekend. And anyway you came over to my homestays house yesterday." My homestay sister was a girl called Jessica who is in the same year as Jade, they are both the bestest of friends and almost spend every waking hour together.
We walk further into the quad and sit down at one of the benches randomly placed on a risen section of grass. We talk aimlessly about giant teddy bears, I have to bring one in for drama next week, and yellow chocolate. Slowly we are joined by Jessica and the rest of the group, Kurt (Jades boyfriend), Simon, Analyse, Jordan and Phoenix.
"Hey, Jess!" I greet my homestay sister as she ran up to us long bright purple and black hair flowing out behind her, violin case in hand, "how was jazz band practice?"
"Good. Ms Gardner joined us today. She kills on the violin." She chirped back.
"That's good darl. Hey do you want to go make sure Sammy brought back your stuff?" I ask my put on French accent coming through heavily. Sammy Lockwood was Jessica's ex and a complete d***, he broke up with her last week, and she had demanded back all her stuff.
"Hmm? Sure." She mumbles back her good mood thoroughly ruined. I frown apologetically at her but she just shrugs me off, Jade however, glares at me and growls a growl that would threaten Wolfs, that is, if they ever met.
The three of us stand and walk over the bastards group me up the front with the two girls slightly behind.
"Oi, Sammy!" I yell when we are only a few meters away, "you got Jessica's stuff?" his head whips around and he yells back,
"Why the hell would I bring back that sluts stuff?" I don't reply and just carry on walking towards him, faster than before, he stands to greet me.
I grab his shirt and pull him towards me growling in his ear, "what did you just call her?" him being the idiot he is says in return,
"A slut." Confidence lacing his words, I snarl and push him up against a random poll a meter or so away from where we are standing and punch him viciously in the gut.
I pull my arm back to hit him again but am stopped by Jade who nods in the general direction a sobbing Jessica. Instantly I pull out of the girls grip and walk towards Jessica and attempt to comfort her, but she flinches away from my touch, shacking. I send a pleading look to Jade, silently begging her to comfort our friend, before I turn around and run down to the rugby field.
I sit down lean against one of the polls of the goal, just sitting, thinking, wishing, I could go back in time. But I can't. Not now. Not never. I made that mistake when I said yes to Blunt the first time.
A while later I hear the crunching of leaves underfoot I look round and see Jade walking up behind me.
"How is she?" I ask not looking at her having already turned my head away, back to studying the dirt.
"As good as you can be after seeing the normally quiet Alex punch you ex so viciously like that." She stated matter of factly.
I sigh and put my face in my hand before looking back at Jade and asking.
"What am I going to do?" she looks me in the eye for a minute before replying,
"I don't know Alex. Forget about all of this for now and come with me I wanna show you something."
Slowly I nod and stand up following her into the conservation area, a man made forest at the edge of the school grounds. We walk through the woods for about 10 minutes, faintly I hear the bell go off at some point, before she stops me right behind her.
"The first day I met you, Alex Rider, I finally understood why I had been sent here. Why my bosses wanted me at some stupid little rich kids school in some little country in the southern hemisphere. It was to capture you, Alex. I will finally be able to go home!"
With that she leaped at me, pinching a pressure point on my neck sending me unconscious almost immediately. Shocked I have no time to react, no time to fight back.
As I fall I saw feet of a man come out from behind the bushes, crunching on the leaves and a gunshot followed by the sound of a body hitting the ground not far from me.
~~~~~Third Person POV~~~~~
The tall man who was waiting for the girl and Rider to come into the forest stood silently watching the path the girl said she would bring him up. He looks at his watch, one more minute and she should be here.
Not seconds later the man hears the sound of feet crunching on dead leaves and observes how the girl handles the situation. He listens to her talk, 'she talks too much' he decided while she ranted about the 'stupid little rich kids' school' he had no use for her he decided.
Then the girl leapt at Rider, the man came out from the hiding spot as the boy fell and shot a single bullet. Killing his single target.
