Hey guys!
I know that I haven't update in a while! School sometimes-actually, always, is just a pain in the butt...well, good thing that happened this week was that I actually signed up for my freshmen classes for next year! All Pre-AP baby!
Anyways, I know you guys probably hate me for not updating till like now...Like I said, school sucks and I was just really busy this week, since we had a pep-rally that needed some after-school practice...
I've wanted to write this story, since this idea just randomly popped in mind, I have no idea how, just like that dream I had that I kept tripping over things? Either I am just really that clumsy or it's bound to happen soon...like I tripped going down the stairs when I was small? Haha, I remember it felt funny rolling like a tumbleweed, but I ended up landing on my back...on the floor...I guess I was really Laying on the cold hard ground XD
Anywho, let's get this story started! I actually think that this could be one of my best works!
P.S-Mikayla might seem a little OOC, I don't know? I'll try my best to keep her in character, if not, she's OOC then...
FIRST AND LAST TIME DISCLAIMER: I don't own POK, if I did, I would've had the PairOfKingsMovie in the making along with a sequel...But, I happen to own my OCs! I would say that I own Selena Russo, but clearly Selena and WOWP owns her, I guess? I decided to add Russo in here, just cuz I'm just not having the feeling of creating Mikayla's best friend, that's an OC.
Chapter One: How It All Started
Mikayla's POV:
My eyes opened slowly to the sound of my alarm clock going off, ugh, it's just way too early for this. At least this is better than having Selena jumping on me, like last time. I got out of bed, stretch a bit to wake up my sore muscles from yesterday's brutal training through the obstacles, and headed to my bathroom to do my regular bathroom routine. After getting out of the bathroom, I came back into my bedroom and stared closely at the clock, since apparently my brain is still waking up to process anything, it finally reads 6:30 A.M. I changed from yesterday's clothes into my grey sweat-pants, my black work-out tank top, and my black and white sneakers. I grabbed my hair-tie along with my navy-blue hoodie, knowing how cold the cafeteria can be, on the way out, tied my hair into a pony-tail, slid on my hoodie, and started heading to the cafeteria to eat breakfast.
Once I received the regular cafeteria tray, the lunch ladies handed us our breakfast, a regular pancake stack with sausage and eggs, along with a bottle of water. After I paid for my breakfast, I walked over to Selena's and I's usual booth, while eying the Top Class Field Agents, along the way. Here at Division, it's basically just like high school, except you gain popularity based on your agent status. The rookies, AKA, new arrivals, are the clueless freshmen, who still needs to learn the basics, while the Top Class Field Agents, are your average seniors. Now, they are the ones who receive the big important missions, and actually get to go out into the field, while us lower-classmen, stay inside of Division, take agent classes, train, and earn our way up the rankings. I snapped out of my thoughts when I realized that I reached our booth, upon noticing Selena inside of the booth, and taking a drink of her water.
" Hey Sleeping Booty! It's like about time you got up, I thought I would have to jump on you again.", Selena greeted as I slid into my side of the booth while setting my tray on the table.
" We wouldn't want that happening again, now would we?", I chuckled and said slyly, " Although, I was surprised that I woke up, cause of you know."
Selena's eyes widen and at this point, she placed her water bottle down, and looked at me with sympathy and concern eyes. She sighed and said, " Again, Mikayla? It's been six months, I don't think it's healthy for you to keep thinking of him. Remember about the consequences and how you just ignored it?"
" I didn't think they were that serious about it."
" That's your problem Kayla, you don't think things through. You should've known the risks you were taking when you were breaking the rules, you were risking not only your life, but his."
" I know, I just wished that I never met him, he would've been fine, today.", I sighed and glanced down at my digital wrist-watch, reading 7:00. I asked, wanting to change the subject," Hey, technology starts in an hour, wanna hit the gym?"
Selena shrugged while picking up her tray," Sure, although, you sure you don't want to wait a little longer so you could eat?"
I looked down at my tray, noticing that I only ate one-fourth of my pancakes, and a little bit of my eggs and sausage. I picked up my tray and started carrying it to the trash and said," I'm not much of a morning eater anyways, I rather start practicing for our Private Training test."
Selena got up and threw away her food and we started walking over to the gym," Oh, you mean the PT? Isn't that today?"
I nod and say," Yup, and who knows, maybe if we get the top scores, we could get promoted to the Top Class Field Agents rank!", as soon as I said that, we've arrived at the gym's doors. Once we walked inside, we see different rankings doing different exercises. I motioned to the punching bag and Selena nodded, so we started walking towards it.
When we got over there, I took off my hoodie, revealing my black-tank top and snatched the black punching gloves, sliding my fingers into the holes, so that the fabric is protecting my knuckles when I punch. Selena goes behind the red punching bag and holds it with her strength, waiting for me to hit it with as much force as I can. I started punching the bag with a couple of jabs and upper-cuts here and there, until my mind starts to trail off, recalling the most painful and traumatizing memories and flashbacks of how I even got here.
Flashback: Mikayla At Age 9
Mikayla's POV:
Ding...Dong...
" I'll get it daddy!", I shouted as I sprinted towards the front door, knowing it was. I opened the door to see Mr. and Mrs. Russo, along with a toothy grinning Selena.
" Hi Kayla!"
" Hi Lena!", we engulfed each other with a hug, that earned our parents looking at us, smiling. I was a couple of inches off the ground, from Selena being a couple inches taller than me.
" Hello Jerry and Theresa, nice of you guys to join Mikayla and I for dinner this evening.", daddy greeted with his deep voice.
" No problem Mason, Selena has been begging us to take her to see Mikayla, so here we are!", Jerry chuckled, earning a groan and a ' Dad...', from Selena. My dad gestured them inside and we head to the dining area to eat.
After we were done eating dinner, the grow-ups went into the living room to talk about boring grow-up things, like taxes and jobs, like I said, boring! So, I offered Lena, if she wanted to go upstairs and play, and she agreed. We darted up the stairs and went into my bedroom.
We started playing with Legos, until Selena asked a really random question," So Kayla, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
" Grow up? Do we have to? I like being a kid! But, if I do grow up, I would be the Red Power Ranger!", I said with excitement.
" I'm serious Kayla, what about a Mermaid? Or even a Wizard?!"
" That would be awesome! What about if we become guards? You know, with weapons and swords?"
" Guards? That sounds really boring Kayla...Ooh, what about secret agents?!", Selena asked while slapping my arm.
" Secret agents? Isn't that the same as being a guard?"
" No, guards just sleep around and let people go through, agents go on missions and have awesome gadgets! Like lasers and stuff!"
" That's cool! We should practice being agents!", I insisted. Selena was to say something, but I placed my Legos down, went into my closet, grabbed two Nerf guns with the vests, and handed one to her.
" Shall we proceed...Agent Russo?", I said, before ducking behind my bed with my " gun" in position.
" We shall, Agent Makoola.", Selena replied, behind the Legos table and we exchange crossfire. After a while, we started chasing each other while shooting at the other, making the foam darts sticking to our vests. Eventually, we were both down to our last dart with our vests practically covered up in darts. We were about to have our standoff until, someone startled us by walking in, so our natural instinct kicked in, and we both shot at the mystery person.
We both started giggling like crazy once we realized who we shot. Selena fell to the floor while laughing and I managed to choke out a couple of words while laughing," S-sorr-y...D-da-dd-y!"
At that point, even daddy started chuckling, I mean, who wouldn't be laughing when there's two Nerf darts shot to your dad's forehead, making him look like a bull with horns?
" I told you Kayla, your dad was always a charging bull!", Selena said while laughing.
We all continued laughing, until we heard something break from downstairs, I think it was the window? Then, the house rumbled, making me fall on my butt, my dad picked Selena and I off the floor and placed us on my bed.
" I'm going to go downstairs and to make sure everything is okay. You two stay up here.", dad ordered. We simply nodded and watched my dad take out his machete and exit the room, as soon as he closes the door, Selena starts heading for the door.
I ran after Selena," Lena, what are you doing?! My dad said to stay up here very clearly!"
Selena shrugged," They don't call me ' Rebel Russo' for nothing, you know."
Selena reached for the doorknob and turned it, opening the door to see white smoke invading the house. We got even more confused, when we heard a couple of shots fired in this dense, white smoke. Then, to make matters worse, an all too familiar female scream is heard along with a some more shots fired.
" MO-", Selena started to yell, but I placed a hand on her mouth, making her sound muffled, and started dragging her back into my bedroom and immediately shut the door. At this point, I took off my hand, with Selena looking at me with tears brimming her eyes and starts firing rapid questions at me.
" Why is there white smoke? Why is there shots fired? What's happening to my mom?", Selena asked quickly, while shaking my shoulders.
" Calm down Lena, someone probably threw in a smoke bomb, and I don't know.", I said, answering her questions.
Selena opened her mouth to say something, but my dad barged into the room, with red blobs splattered on him? He quickly shut the door and locked it.
" Dad, why are you covered in-", I started to asked before being interrupted.
" Sorry baby girl, but I can't answer that right now, this is an emergency.", daddy said immediately and went over to my window, and opened it.
" Why are you opening my window? It's cold outside.", I asked confused.
" Just trust me baby girl, and do everything I say, okay?", dad asked while we both nodded.
" Okay, I need you two to crawl under the bed and be completely still and quiet, no making any noises. Got it?"
I got on the floor and crawled under my bed, to the middle where dad said and waited for Selena to come. I hear Selena asking my dad something.
" Uncle Mas, do you know what happened to my mom and dad?"
I think I heard my dad, heavily sigh?, " I can't really tell you that yet, Selena. Your mom and dad said that they will always love you and for you to be strong girl you always are."
Selena then crawled under the bed and came over to where I was, and hugged her when I noticed her quietly sobbing. I let go, when my dad was on my side, laying on his stomach softly calling me, I scooted closer and poked my head out to see him.
" Yes, dad?"
" Baby girl, I just want you to know that I will always love you, no matter what happens. I want you to be the strong and smart Mikayla Makoola you always are. I want you to know that, I'll always be with you, even if I'm not here psychically. I love you Mikayla.", my dad finished when he planted a kiss on my forehead and we hear the sound of the door pounding. My dad looked at me and I immediately crawled back under the bed, back to hugging Selena. I hear my dad getting up, and walking over to the door, probably in his fighting stance.
Suddenly, the door flies open.
Selena's and I's bodies got stiff and we started shaking a bit, scared to know what will happen next.
" Where are the girls?!", the unfamiliar voice, demanding-like.
" Unfortunately for you, they were smart enough to escape through the window, cause I don't know, maybe firing a couple of rounds, is kinda a sign to evacuate the area.", dad sarcastically answered.
" Read my lips you stubborn Sasquatch, if you don't tell me where those girls are, you're going to be suffering some deadly consequences.", the unknown person threatened.
" I will NEVER let you lay a finger on those girls, even over my cold, dead body!", dad defended.
" That could be arranged.", the stranger said.
WAIT, what does that mean?!
Then suddenly, a shot fired, and we hear a thud hit the ground. I laid flat on my stomach and darted my eyes to the source of the thud sound, now I really wished that I didn't, the source of the thud was...
My dad lying on the ground...lifeless
I desperately wanted to wake him up, but Selena was holding me tightly, not letting me go. It sucks that she's the stronger one out of us. I tried kicking her and trying to break free of her grasp, but no success. At this point, I just stopped trying and started silently letting the hot tears come down my cheeks in surrender.
" Those girls must be really smart if they escaped by window, which proves my point even more.", my dad's murderer said, before we hear police sirens coming from outside. He must've panicked, since we heard his foot-steps at a running pace, out the room to who knows where. We then hear a group of people entering the house, and either shouting, " ALL CLEAR", or " We've got blood". We hear someone opening the door again and investigating my fallen dad's body saying," Poor guy." He comes to where we're at, and starts to lift up the bottom bed curtain.
I've then meet the crystal-blue eyes of possibly my rescuer or killer.
He notices us with a scared look and softly said," It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you, I'm with S.W.A.T. My name is Brandon, you're safe now, can you and your friend come out?"
I looked at Selena and she nods, letting myself let the guy help us out from under the bed. Once he pulls both of us out, I actually get a good look of him, blue eyes, short dirty-blond hair, pale skin, and a black outfit with the word S.W.A.T. spelled on his chest. He squats down to our height, holds out his hands, and asks," How about we go downstairs where everyone else is at?"
We nodded and placed our hands into his, he starts leading us out of the room, but not before I captured a glimpse of my dad being covered by a white sheet. I looked away in distraught and let Brandon escort us down the stairs. I then see even more people with the same outfit and two more white sheets over something. Brandon then took us outside to the front yard to call someone, something about getting a hold of my parental guardian?
Yeah, turns out Selena's and I's parental guardian was Uncle Jason, even though dad always called him a ' hot mess', he was capable of taking care of the both of us. Why Selena's guardian was Uncle Jason, I will never know, I guessing her parents trusted him enough to list him at that. Seven years later, when Selena and I were sixteen, Uncle Jason actually got a job on being a stunt double in Hollywood, from his clumsy ' experiences', guess being a ' Hot mess', pays off, eventually. When he told us that he needed to go to Hollywood, California, he told us that we could have his house and stay on Kinkow. We agreed and as soon as he left though, we knew that we couldn't be by ourselves, knowing that guy could be still looking for us.
So, we decided to call Brandon, the same S.W.A.T. guy.
I know what you're probably thinking, and no, neither of us are dating him or whatever, that would be just creepy, considering his age from then to now. He just gave us his number on that tragic night and said to call him, if we ever needed help, and we managed to keep it ever since.
Flashback: Mikayla At Age 16
Mikayla's POV:
I decided to call up Brandon, and see if he has any suggestions for us. Selena decided to be funny and said," Haha, what if he just gave us the number to Pizza Hut, instead?"
" You're just craving pizza, aren't you...didn't you just ate your third sandwich today, like thirty-seconds ago?"
" Hey, I can't help if I have a bottomless pit as my stomach in this small body! Speaking of sandwiches, I'm going to reward myself for eating my fourth sandwich today, for your information, with an ice-cream sandwich.", Selena announced, while hopping off the couch and heading to the kitchen. I rolled my eyes and waited for Brandon to pick up, while placing it on speaker. On the second ring, a voice picks up.
" Hello?", his voice rang out.
" Hey, is this Brandon from S.W.A.T.?", I asked, hopefully it's him and not some random guy.
" Yes, and who's this?"
" I'm Mikayla Makoola and-"
" Selena Russo!", Selena yelled from the kitchen.
" Something about those names sound awfully familiar...", Brandon says and pauses," Wait, are you two those girls I rescued from that triple-homicide?"
" Homicide?", Selena asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion, while walking back into the room with a pickle in her hand.
" It means murder, and what happened to your ice-cream sandwich reward?"
" Yeah, it turns out I may have ate the last one, yesterday, so pickle here is going to substitute!"
I rolled my eyes and directed my mind back to Brandon," Sorry, and yes, we're those nine-year-olds, who's grown up now, well, most of us."
Selena sticks her tongue out at me, and Brandon says," Ah yes, now I really remember you, so, what can I help you with?"
I explained our situation with Uncle Jason leaving us the house, and Brandon suggested something that made us both smile.
" How about if you guys join our agency?"
" You mean like actually become secret agents?!", Selena asked frantically while slapping my arm multiple times.
" Well, not like James Bond agents, I mean like FBI, CIA, or even assassins for the government."
" You guys have assassins? Isn't that, kinda deadly?", I asked surprised.
" Government assassins don't assassin random people, they only kill criminals and terrorists that we couldn't bring in."
" So what do you say Russo, you want to?", I looked at Selena for an answer. She didn't even hesitate to say yes.
" I guess we'll do it Brandon!"
" Great! Just give me your address and I'll be there in four hours to pick you girls up, make sure to pack.", Brandon said. After giving him our address, Selena and I started packing our belongings. I can't believe that we're actually becoming agents/assassins! We've called Uncle Jason and let him know about our plans, and he was happy and supported our decision. He was just happy with the fact that he's getting paid good money just to be his clumsy self.
Four Hours Later:
I looked at my the clock, it's definitely four hours since our chat with Brandon and he's even here, yet. Even Selena got up her lazy butt and actually packed before he even gets here.
Before I even question his tardiness, we hear hovering from outside. We walked out the front door to see Brandon landing his...helicopter.
After the helicopter stopped rotating its blades, Brandon walked out of it and we gave him a hug.
" Wow, you guys really grown a lot!"
" Well, people are bound to grow over seven years.", Selena said, earning her an elbow to the side from me.
" So, are you guys ready to go?"
" Yeah, we just need to get our stuff from the house, be right back.", we both said before going into the house, grabbing our belongings, and placing it in the helicopter. We gave the house one last look and stepped inside of the helicopter, getting ready to lift off the ground. Once we were settled inside, Brandon turned on the propellers and soon enough, Kinkow was already getting further away from us every second.
" Where exactly are we going Bran?", Selena asked in her helicopter helmet with the small microphone attached to it, while admiring the view of the ocean.
" I'm taking you guys to a top secret island where Division is."
" What's Division?", I asked with my helmet.
"It's where people go to become the government assassins, they train you, have classes, and practically prepare you for the FBI,CIA, and assassin world. You have to live there, since it's on an island, think of it like college."
" Do we at least pick our roommates?"
" I think so, I think they said whoever is your roommate, will be your mission buddy or something like that.", Brandon said, making Selena and I high-five each other.
" Now this chick right here, I'm blaming if I ever get hurt on any missions.", Selena said pointing to me, making all of us chuckle.
" I'll definitely never hear the end of it.", I chuckled.
" You got that right!", Selena said, making all of us laugh again. The rest of the ride went by pretty fast by how Brandon was telling us about Division and what happens there. Eventually, we feel ourselves going down with the concrete ground getting closer.
" Alright ladies, I hope you enjoyed flying with us at Brandon Airlines, feel free to tip the pilot.", Brandon joked.
" We'll take a rain check on this one Bran, maybe next time!", Selena said as we exited out of the helicopter and grabbing our belongings. Once Brandon got out of the helicopter, we turned to see a older-guy with white hair, brown-eyes, and pale skin with a grey suit, standing there.
He announced to us," Welcome to Division! Where we make the best assassins and agents out of you!"
That guys turned out to be Percy, the guy who runs Division. He gave us a quick tour of Division and let us settle in for the day. The next day was our first official day in Division, it was...interesting and exhausting. That was the most Selena and I had ever worked out...in our life, in one day! I think joining the military was easier than this! After a while, we've grew used to the schedule and our body finally got used of it, while our brains were used to absorbing so much knowledge in one day.
Now:
I came back to reality when my eyes darted to the ground, noticing Selena on the ground holding her wrist and wincing in pain. Did I seriously cause that?!
I immediately rushed to her and squatted down next to her," Hey, did I do this to you?"
" Yes, but it wasn't your fault, it was mine.", Selena said while rubbing her wrist.
" How is it your fault? I clearly kept at it with rage or something."
" I was having the same flashbacks as you were, Kayla. I must've got distracted and lost my grip on the bag, causing you to knock me down, onto my wrist.", Selena explained, still earning a questionable look from me.
" H-how'd you know I was having flashbacks?"
" Oh please Kayla, we've been best friends for nine years now, I think I would know what my best friend is thinking about by now.", Selena smirked.
I was about to say something when Brandon comes into sight and walks over to us," Hey girls, Percy wants to see you two for something important."
We looked at each other, confused, then followed Brandon to Percy's office. We've never been to Percy's office ever since he gave us the tour of Division, which was two years ago. So, I don't know going to his office now is a good thing or bad thing. Maybe that is where agents receive their missions? No, we're not at that level, yet. So, what could he want?
Brandon led us to Percy's office, opened the door, gestured us inside, and closed it behind us. Okay, I'm officially scared now.
" Ladies, why are you standing around, we have some very important business to take care of, please, take a seat.", Percy offered.
We eyed the seats, and we cautiously took a seat, being ready for whatever obstacle Percy decides to throw at us.
And, that ends the FIRST-EVER chapter of My Brain Vs. My Heart! I really hoped you enjoyed it!
* BTW, this story is AU, if you didn't already know, since Mikayla is an assassin.
* Selena Russo is basically Selena Gomez/Alex Russo, if you didn't already know.
* Here's a couple of questions that I want you guys to answer!:
~Who do you think Selena and Mikayla were talking about in the cafeteria? Hint: I'm not lying when I say that it isn't the obvious answer...
~Why do you think Percy wants to talk with Mikayla and Selena?
~Who do you think killed their parents? And, why was he looking specifically for Mikayla and Selena? How does he even know their parents in the first place?
* All of these questions will be answered in later chapters!
* Oh yeah, I know I'm late on this, but YEAH BUDDY! They caught the bomber who bombed at the Boston Marathon! Justice is served, better yet, I just think it was karma happening! But, I still send out my prayers to the families effected by the bombing and to my fellow Texans over at the west side with the plantation explosion happening.
* I will see if I can update RS tomorrow!
* Also, make sure to review saying if you want me to continue this story or not! I personally think that, this could be one of my best works!
Peace!~Yummy42
