Hey! This is my first fanfic, so it may not be that good - like Xylia Neo good - but any feedback would be appreciated!
In the center of a small room, a young girl twirled a piece of caramel colored hair around her finger. Her cobalt blue eyes scanned the room slowly. Her lilac dress was covered by a black cloak with the sign of the swan embroidered over her heart, and her black flats were tapping on the floor impatiently.
A blonde haired Elf burst into the room, making her jump.
"Jolie! Are you okay?!" She asked.
"I did it, Naomi. I'm in." The turquoise eyed elf responded.
"Jolie!" Naomi shouted, and ran up to the blonde Elf, she flickered slightly when she ran.
"Hey Naomi!" Jolie replied. "They gave me this, for you." She said, and handed Naomi a paper with a swan seal. Naomi read it, and looked up.
"Meeting today." Naomi said, and slipped the paper into her pocket before anyone saw it. "You coming?"
"Yeah, I-" Jolie started.
"Hey Jolie!" Brant interrupted, his grey-blue eyes and gelled hair flicked toward Naomi's direction. "Naomi." Brant added, and whispered something in Jolie's ear.
"Okay. Sure." Jolie said, and Brant walked away.
"What was it?" Naomi asked.
"Nothing, just Brant, and he's in the… Yeah, I told you, but I have to meet with the Never..." Jolie sighed. "I'll meet with you guys after, okay? And the plan has to take place today. You have three minutes max."
"Yeah, sure. No problem, I'll tell them." Naomi said, "Please be careful. We don't know much about the Neverseen, and we don't know what they are capable of. You don't know what they'll do to you if they find out."
"Yeah. See you later." Jolie said, and Naomi pulled out a light blue pathfinder, and Jolie pulled out a crystal, they stepped into the light, and they both glittered away.

"So, we have Jolie stationed here, then we'll have team one and two split here, and they will take down the guards here, here, here and here." Naomi explained, as she pointed to various places on a blue print. "Then Jolie will move up here, away from me, I'll be here, heading that way, and give the copied files to group one. From start to finish, this should take no more than three minutes, and we'll exit from here, there, there, and there. Do not touch the walls. They are stationed near the Orge cities, so we don't know if they have aromark anywhere."
"Just to clarify, once three minutes pass, we leave immediately. No matter what." One of the members said.
"Correct. Let's hope everything goes according to plan. I will stay, in case something happens to… Jolie." Naomi said, and clapped her hands. "Odds are in our favor. Are we ready? Yes? Good. Let's go."

Six cloaked figures moved in the darkness. They blended in so well, you could barely see them. They all lined up around a door, and they swung it open.
Once the door opened, there was a grunt heard, and the door closed. The figures were gone, replaced by cold, empty darkness.
The group traveled together until the hallway split in two. They divided in half, and went separate ways.
The air shimmered, and another figure appeared. They entered a room, and started to shuffle rapidly through a stack of scrolls. They grabbed what they were looking for, and linked a crystal device to it. A small smile appeared on their pink lips as they slipped away, and the door closed behind them without a sound.
"Here. Take this and go. You have fourteen seconds before their backup comes." A feminine voice said. "Hurry."
"Okay, and Naomi," The other figure said. "Be careful. I want my lil sis to come back home."
"I will."

"There was a break in. So far, we don't know if they stole anything. I don't know what they want with us, but we have to search everywhere in case they left any tracks." A hooded figure said, and people began to dissipate. "Jolie. Stay here please."
"Yes Brant, sir, what do you need." Jolie said, and Naomi crouched in an attack position where she sat in the shadows where there was barely enough light to vanish.
"You were on the East side when the attack happened in the West."
"Yes, I was." Jolie replied nervously.
"Why did you leave your post?"
"I-" A loud crash interrupted Jolie, and Naomi flickered into view. Her hood was on, and you couldn't see any part of her face. She made a big show of stumbling, but caught herself at the last moment.
"Who is-" Brant said, but he never got a chance to finish because Naomi pulled out a meddler.
"One more word, and I shoot." She threatened, her voice was deep, and it was hard to tell if she was a boy or a girl. "You will let me leave in peace, or they will return for me."
"What makes you think-"
"I hold many secrets. We can't afford to let anyone know what they are." Naomi lied, and pulled out a pathfinder. As she stepped into the light, Jolie lunged, and they both vanished.

Naomi and Jolie stumbled onto a field of grass. The rest of the Black Swan that was on the mission waited for them.
"Oh, good. You're safe." A Black Swan member said, relieved.
"Did they find out?" Another one of the members asked Jolie.
"No, but Naomi revealed herself to help me escape." Jolie said. "If it weren't for her, I could've been caught."
"YOU REVEALED YOURSELF?!" The members shouted in unison.
"Yes, but not my identity." Naomi said, exasperated. She rubbed her temples, and her blue eyes were weary. Her hair was put into an elaborate braid that rested on her left shoulder.
"Naomi, I need to check you for aromark." Physic said, and pulled her aside. She sprinkled reveldust on Naomi's hands. Everyone held their breath, anticipating the red glow that might appear on their strategist's hands…
Thank you for reading my story! But just to say, I may not be able to update often. Feel free review, or PM me, and I might accept OC's if they fit into the plot. Let me know if you have any ideas!
