Hey guys! Here's another story for you! This is my own version of Only the Good Spy Young. I wrote it about a month before the actual book came out and I finally decided to upload it so here it is!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters Ally Carter does though there might(ok there will) be acouple characters I'll add later on it the story!
Chapter 1
"So Cammie where do you want to go first?" Bex asked. We were finally in London for the winter and I was so excited (well as excited as someone who was being targeted by the C.O.C (Circle of Cavern) could be).
"I don't know. How about the mall?" I suggested.
"Ohhh! That's perfect and the closest mall is just a mile away!" She said excitedly. We walked all the way there in the snow. It took us 10 minute and 36 seconds to get there. We decided to eat first. I bought some hot chocolate for both of us and we decided that we should go home now. We got up and started to walk out the door when I accidently bump into and old man and he fell to the ground.
"Oh My goodness I am so sorry sir!" I exclaimed apologetically. The man had white and gray hair, emerald eyes, and olive skin. He smiled.
"Oh no it was all my fault! I haven't been able to see right for the past couple years!" He replied in an old groggy voice that reminded me of my grandpa. I helped him up and gave him back his cane.
"Can I help you get anywhere?" I asked.
"No I'll be fine young lady. You know you remind me of my granddaughter! Her name's Louise." He recalled happily.
"Well then she is lucky to have a grandpa like you!" I stated, smiling.
"Thank you sweetheart! Well I must be going now; it was nice to meet you!" He said sweetly.
"You too! Bye." I said and I walked away. I looked back to see if he was all right but he was nowhere to be seen.
"What took you so long? You were right behind me?" Bex asked when I caught up with her.
"Sorry I bumped into an old man and I was helping him." I said, thinking.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing. It's just… that man looked really familiar but I can't put my finger on who he is." I explained.
"It's probably nothing. All grandpa's look the same!" She stated.
"I know, it's just…I think I've met him before…" I said. Bex rolled her eyes.
"You think everybody looks familiar! Now come on lets get back to the house!" She said.
"Okay." I said. We got back to the house and I went online to see what we could do later.
"Hey we could go to the Trafalgar Square!" I said.
"Ohhh! I've been there, it's so cool! We should go right now!" Bex said excitedly. Just then I saw a figure outside of our window but when I looked back, there was nobody there.
"Why are you looking out the window for? Come on we have to hurry before it's too late!" She whined.
"Okay, okay I'm coming, I'm coming!" I said, smiling. Just then we heard a knock at the door and Mrs. Baxter came inside.
"Hey do you guys want a snack?" She asked.
"Not right now mom we're about to go to Trafalgar square, k?" Bex asked.
"Sure have fun!" She said happily and then left.
"Come on I'm driving!" She grabbed the keys and ran out the door. I took one last look at the window and went out the door after her.
It took us 10 minutes and 43 seconds to get there. We walked around and looked at all the cool statues.
"Cam I'll be right back I have to go to the bathroom." She said.
"Okay I'll be over here." I said. She nodded and ran away.
I walked over to the statues of the lions that you usually would only see in the movies like many other things. It was sculpted like it was calmly lying on a pedestal looking ahead. I was studying the detail when I heard someone come up behind me.
"It makes you think what the sculptor was thinking when he sculpted it, doesn't it?" They said. I turned around and saw Zach standing right behind me, staring at the lion and smirking, "Hi Gallagher Girl, how's your vacation going?"
(A/N: I was half ready to end it here but I decided not to.)
I stood there and folded my arms, "What are you doing here?"
"I like art." He said, shrugging.
"No, I meant what are you doing here in London?" I asked.
"You're not the only one who can go on vacations." He said, smirking.
"Yea but showing up here in the same town and place as me?" I retorted.
"Maybe we both thought of the same place for our vacations." He stated. I raised my eyebrows and we stared at each other for a minute.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing, I just don't believe in coincidences, that's all." I said. He rolled his eyes.
"Anybody else here with you?" He asked, changing the subject.
"Bex is, but I bet you already know that." I said. He ignored me.
"Where is she?" He asked, but I know that he already knew.
"She's in the restroom across the street, why?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
He shrugged, "Just curious." I stared at him because he had a tendency to disappear when I looked away.
"Why do you keep staring at me?" He said uncomfortably.
"What? Is it making you nervous?" I asked him mischievously.
"No it's just weird, you never stare at me." He said, uncomfortably. I ignored him and continued to stare at him. He looked back at the statue and started to change the subject.
"Like was he thinking 'Haha this is going to be so cool! People are going to turn around the corner and are going to wet their pants when they suddenly see this pop up!'" He said in a wicked and mischievous kind of voice, "Or was he thinking, 'This statue is going to be as detailed as a real lion, it will almost be like one, and people with marvel at its magnificence every day!'" He said, in a smart and old voice. I tried not to laugh but I smiled and laughed anyway. His face lit up. It was then that I realized how close together we were and I looked away into the snowy darkness around us.
"Cammie is something wrong?" He said in a concerned voice and I couldn't resist the urge to look at him. He was looking straight into my eyes and I saw worry and confusion in his.
"No everything is fine." I said. We stared into each others eyes until I remembered how close together we were and I quickly looked away. The next thing I knew his hand was caressing my face.
"Gallagher Girl, are you okay?" Zach asked, and I nodded. I saw in his eyes that he looked like he wanted to kiss me. He stepped closer and I was about to lean in when he looked down and pulled away, stepping back. I knew there was hurt showing in my eyes so I looked away and tried to stay calm. I calmed down and looked back at him. He was looking down at the ground with his hands in his jacket. I wanted to ask him why he doesn't kiss me anymore but I decided not to because he look very sad and I didn't want to hurt him anymore, so I tried to change the subject.
"It's getting pretty cold, isn't it?" I asked. He just stared at the ground and nodded.
"So how is your vacation going so far?" I asked.
"Good." He muttered sadly. Instinctively, I walked towards him and put my hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me slowly and I smiled at him warmly.
"Are you okay?" I asked him. He just stared at me and I stared back, still smiling. After awhile he finally smiled at me. I wanted to wrap my arms around him and hug him but I didn't dare do that. We just stood there smiling at each other. I heard running from behind me and instinctively I turned around and saw Bex running towards me.
"Sorry I'm late the store I went into had some really cute shoes and…" She stopped, "Who were you just talking to?" I turned around knowing that he would be gone and I was right. I hate it when he does that!
"No one." I answered quietly, Bex raised her eyebrows.
"Was it…" She asked I already knew who she was talking about so I just nodded and her eyes opened up wide, "Really?" She asked, surprised.
I rolled my eyes, "Come on lets go see these shoes you like so much." I said, changing the subject. I knew Bex didn't want to change the subject but she knew she wasn't going to get anything else from me so she sighed, turned around, and headed for the store and I followed after her with one last glance where Zach used to be but there wasn't any sign of him.
There's my first chapter! I know it is kind of slow and bad but it will get better as the chapters go on!
