"It's her!!!" A man dressed all in blue yelled as he pressed his gun's trigger firing into the shadows of the art room. Soon many guards ran inside the room, guns ready to kill whatever had disturbed the guard. "What?!" The squad's captain yelled as he looked around with a glare. "Find her!" He yelled and the men ran out of the room in search of their enemy.
She smiled to herself as she entered her apartment. Oh! How much had she enjoyed this ever so lovely evening! She only wished that they would find her mark in the desk of their boss. She placed the painting on her desk and cocked her head. She really didn't know why this painting was so valuable when it was so simple! A mere rose picture for God's sake! "Stupid picture.." the girl whispered shaking her head. As she was about to open her fridge her cell phone rang. "Hello?" She said into the speaker and waited for a reply. "You will be leaving the painting at the park across your apartment, there someone will pick it up and when you return to your apartment the money will be at your doorstep" A male voice replied at the other end. Before she could say anything the other person hanged up. "Stupid boss" she whispered before opening her refrigerator.
"Holly! Wait up!" someone yelled. Holly turned around and smiled. Her dearest and most trusted friend was soon next to her a smile plastered across her face. "How was… er.. Last night?" She asked. Holly smiled and stopped walking making her companion do the same. She turned to her and Holly smiled again. "What is it?" She asked as Holly reached toward her. Taking in her fingers a lock of blond hair, she shook her head. "Opal, how many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn't talk about this during school" Holly said fixing her green eyes on her friend's blue ones. Opal sighed and looked down to her feet. "Okay, fine, sorry I asked…" She whispered and looked up pouting. "But can you give me the scoop later on?" She asked and Holly smiled nodding making her auburn hair, which was tied up in a high ponytail, bounce up and down along with her movements. Opal smiled and grabbed her hand. "Come on! We're going to be late… AGAIN!" Holly smiled running after her. Soon they reached their classroom. "Okay, so we're late… again.." Opal whispered looking at Holly with a blush. Holly rolled her eyes and shook her head. "I told you, we shouldn't have gone through that hallway it delayed us much more! If only you'd listen to me and had gone through the other way we wouldn't have to be going through this!" Holly said smoothing out the wrinkles from her blue, knee-length skirt. She tugged at her white, long-sleeved shirt making sure that her blue tie at the center of her neck was properly done. She turned to Opal and did the same for her skirt. "You know, I still don't understand why those girls like to wear their school uniforms so revealing!" Opal exclaimed as she looked down at her own outfit. Of course it was the same as her best friend since they both didn't like to show "skin"
"I know.." Holly grumbled and sighed fixing Opal's tie. "Okay, lets go in and remember don't look at them in the eye" She said opening the door. Slowly both girls stepped in, staring ahead and never flinching, their faces a mask of defiance and danger. No emotion was reflected in their eyes for they had lost their shine and were now dull. Simply staring ahead without a worry in the world. The girls around them leaned together and whispered about them as if they were criminals of a sort, though in a way, they were more closer than they thought. "You know what I heard?" A girl next to Holly whispered as she stared at Opal. "No what?" the other girl asked. "I heard that, Opal chased a student from this very high school into the janitor's closet and did God knows what to the poor boy!" She answered placing her hand over her mouth as if to block out a very distasteful smell. Holly hearing this with her perfectly well trained ears leaned toward them and whispered ever so softly into their ears "You two wouldn't mind joining him, would you?" Both girls shrieked and turned pale. Holly raised a brow and kept walking to the back of the room, Opal following behind her like a lost pup.
"Dont worry Opal, they're mindless fools" Holly whispered to her as she stared ahead. A couple of boys were staring at her making her feel a bit odd but she paid no attention instead she turned to her best and only friend with a grin making even her shiver. "I don't worry, I've gotten use to this" Opal whispered and Holly nodded. Apparently they were considered the weirdest girls in school and were treated as freaks. No one really knew why they acted the way they did but one thing was for sure. These two were not human! Or so the rumors that were at that very moment going about said.
The bell rang and both girl stepped out and as they walked down the hall students glanced at them, barely, before scurrying away. Holly noticed this and raised her brows questioningly. "hmm…" She grumbled and kept walking on with Opal besides her. As they reached their lockers and open them, they hear everyone around them start whispering. "They're not human…" One boy whispered to his friend. Holly hearing this decided to act on what was expected. With a furious look on her face she turned around and yelled at the top of her lungs "This is ridiculous! We are humans like all of you!" They all gasped since it was rare for her to lose control of herself and seeing the look of madness in her eyes they scattered around nervously. Holly rolled her eyes before shutting her locker. She turned to Opal who was smiling. "They are so right and yet they don't know it…" Opal whispered and laughed quietly.
"Come, we must discuss our next mission" Holly said and started walking away while Opal followed behind as usual. They reached the cafeteria and walked all the way to the back. They sat on the corner where the shadows hid them from plain view and set their lunch in the table before them. "So what's our next assignment?" Opal asked taking a bite out of her sandwich. "Simple really, we steal some sort of statue and place it in the same place as before then the money will be left off at my doorstep as usual…" Holly answered shrugging. Opal nodded and sighed her eyes turning bright after a second or two. "Do you remember how we got into this business?" She asked and Holly looked down nodding as she remembered.
Flashback, Holly when she was 5 years old
A small filthy girl sat at the corner of the street, her auburn hair tangled and dirt. Her small dress ragged and dirty barely reaching to her knees, Her small legs dirty with bruises all over them. She stared at the sky as it started to rain and the water splashed freshly on her face. With a sigh she stood and ran down the alley to her left. As she ran familiar people smiled at her or waved making her giggle and wave back. This was her home where many people… no, creatures like herself lived. In the corners wearing nothing but ragged clothing, barely visible in the mud around them, their small fires extinguishing as the rain fell and their small pieces of bread getting wet in the rain.
She finally reached a small tent and entered. "Opal!" She said and stared wide eyed at the girl on the floor who was being held down by a man who laid on top of her, his pants pulled down as he rested atop of her while his right hand held her mouth closed preventing her from screaming. Her eyes were red from crying and next to her laid her parent both unconscious with blood around them. Holly gasped and kicked with all her might and to her surprise the man rolled away. She swallowed hard and kicked him again this time he hit the wall next to him splitting open his head and falling down unconscious. Opal stared at her for a couple of seconds and then threw herself into her arms sobbing quietly. "I forgot…" Opal whispered and Holly smoothed out her short, blond hair from her eyes before staring at her questioningly. Opal smiled and answered her "We aren't human… I could kill the man…. And didn't…" She sobbed again and turned to her dead parents throwing herself at them and embracing their lifeless bodies.
Someone opened the curtain that maintained the tent closed. Both girls turned to see a man standing there a sad expression on his face. "I'm sorry…" He said and took out from his pocket a cell phone. "He's dead… a girl killed him… she's five years old…" The man's expression changed into a grin and turned to them. "I have something to offer you…" He said as both girls nodded for him to continue. "first off allow me to introduce myself, I am Foaly, and I am an agent of Mr. Sool I was sent here to rid of this… man" He gestured toward the dead man. "But apparently you two have gone ahead of me, therefore my boss wishes you two to come with me, you will be trained to serve him… you'd get paid of course and that way you wont have to…live… in such a place…" He finished. Holly looked at Opal and the girl nodded. "We could help all these people Holly, and then maybe we can build somewhere they can live and then we all be happy!!" Opal said excited making Holly join in her enthusiasm. "Okay! We'll do it!" Holly declared and Foaly smiled. "Good…" He said..
End of Flashback
Holly smiled at her memories and turned to her friend. "Oh yes, you have no idea" She said as they walked down the hall. Opal stared at her and cocked her head "Do we have any new gear?" Opal asked and Holly nodded "Actually, yes and…" She did not finish since she bumped into something hard. She fell back and blinking from the floor. She sat up and looked up to be greeted by dull blue eyes. "My apologies" The boy standing before her said helping her to her feet. Holly stared at him and at his perfectly well kept raven hair and nodded. "It's okay" She said. "I'm Opal" Opal said stretching out her hand a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. "And I'm Holly" Holly said stretching out her hand. Usually she'd ignore the new students but ever since her last talk with Opal she had decided to do what she said.
Since Opal had declared Holly being so anti-social she decided to be a bit more welcoming to new students. Perhaps they could make new friends and this guy seemed right.The boy stared down at their hands before bringing himself to shake Opal's hand. Then he turned to Holly who now stared at him blankly and took her hand bringing it to his lips. Holly gasped and blushed a deep shade of red. "I am Artemis Fowl, at your service"
