A/N: Hi, peoples. Thanks for looking at my story, cause you might not necessarily read it. But you should! Anyways, for the people who read Operation Down- Under, it's not going to be updated soon. Well, it might but probably not with school and stuff. I'm just so lucky I started school on the 9th. Don't you just hate hearing that buzz of your alarm clock every morning at 6 and so much homework? It's only been two days, people. Two days! Anyway, you don't wanna hear me ramble on and stuff. Do you? I thought so. Let's read. My story that is.
Rating: PG-13 for swearing, violence, and other stuff that might come into my mind.
Genre: Romance/Mystery
Info: Based on the life of a mysterious girl named Cassidy, what happens when she becomes an orphan? What happens when she meets Sector V? Why is she trying so hard to get Numbuh 3 and 4 together? OC/OC, ¾.
Chapter One: Left To Die
Cassidy was an enigma, only because she kept to herself. She was born a happy child with two other siblings and always wore dark black pants and blue shirt, along with her long, silky black hair. Her mother and father's friends were like family to her. She felt at home with them and always kept a smile on. She was different from her siblings who, most of the time, kept a frown on but she didn't care. When she reached the age of eight, she and her friends joined a group called Kids Next Door.
Her siblings didn't join and Cassidy often felt a little lonely in her sector. She was Numbuh 7 in Sector F, and her parents joined her in the celebration. She lived in a treehouse close to her house, it was just next door, down the lane. Cassidy lived happily and defeated many of her foes by force. She was somewhat of a naïve girl and people often questioned her ability to be in the Kids Next Door. Cassidy lived a happy life...until HE came along.
Now, Cassidy was 12 years old, she would've been decommissioned next year if she hadn't gone into hiding. She was now sleeping next to a trashcan and her hair was full of dirt. Cassidy's jeans were tattered and her shirt was covered in mud. She hadn't kept her dimples or her smile, Cassidy had a frown on. She didn't trust anybody especially since the death of her parents.
Flashback
Cassidy was home, her siblings were in their rooms and her mother was making dinner. Her father was supposed to have been home by now but Cassidy knew she had nothing to worry about. He was always stuck in traffic. For now, she was observing her S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R and thinking about how to improve it. She was the 2x4 technology officer. She suddenly heard a car stopping in front of her house.
"Dad!" she yelled running to the door. Her siblings ran down with her and hugged their father.
"All right. All right, get offa me." he said, dropping them down to the floor.
"Hi." Cassidy's mother said, kissing her husband.
"Hey, how was work?" she asked.
"Fine, fine. You kids run upstairs, I have somthin' to tell your mother." he said, pushing them toward the stairway.
"We should listen into them!" Cassidy's brother shouted quietly and ran to the stairs again.
"Are you sure about this?" Cassidy asked, following them.
"Yeah, it'll be fun!" her sister shouted.
"Okay..."
"Someone's after us!" her father whispered.
"How do you know?" her mother asked uneasily.
"They almost hit me with their car. All I saw was a sign saying, "Delightful Children..."
"This is boring, let's go." her sister said, motioning them to come upstairs.
"You guys go, I'm gonna see if anything good happens." Cassidy said.
"Yeah." her brother agreed.
"We have to move somewhere else, maybe my hometown. My grandma owns a penthouse there." her mother said.
"We have to hurry." her father said. "Ki..." were the last words he said. Cassidy watched in despair as she saw her father fall, blood rushing out of his back.
"W..." her mother yelled, falling on top of him. Blood was falling out of her back as her black hair covered his wound. There were black suited men, one leader had flames coming out of him. Cassidy tried her best to hide as she cowered in fear. But she knew she had to be strong.
"Mom and Dad are dead!" she yelled to her siblings in their room.
"You're joking." her sister said, worried.
"No, they're coming after us!" she shouted, hearing footsteps from outside.
"Who have we here?" the man asked, flames coming out of his hands.
"Numbuh 7!" Cassidy yelled, trying to seem confident, but hiding the tears from her eyes.
"Well, Numbuh 7, looks like you won't be ANY Numbuh at all after I'm through with you!" he yelled, throwing one of his flames at her. She quickly dodged it, rolling next to the window, trapped.
"You can't do this!" her brother yelled.
"Can't I?" he asked, hitting both of her siblings at once. Her mother screamed and ran up the stairs. Before the man knew it, he was hit with a knife at his heart.
"Cassidy, you have to run. They'll get you any moment." her mother said, opening the window. "You have to jump."
"Why can't I go down the..." Cassidy said.
"There she is!" one of the men yelled.
"Go!" she said, pushing Cassidy out of the window. She fell lightly but heard her mother's scream. Cassidy ran down the street, she didn't exactly have a plan but she always made one along the way. Turning around, she saw two men looking at her. They made a small hand gesture and turned around.
"We'll let her go, it's just a stupid girl anyways." they said.
Cassidy ran, ran as far as her legs could carry her. Ran as far as she could before she ran out of breath. That wasn't very far away. She stopped for a rest at the park and began drinking from the fountain, quenching her thirst. Cassidy casually walked across the street and eventually found an alleyway next to a candy store and a dentist's office. It was getting dark and she found a blanket, it wasn't that dirty. She dusted it off and began to cry herself to sleep.
End Flashback
That had been a year ago and Cassidy had been running ever since. She was full of pain but always kept on a straight face. Cassidy had cried herself to sleep that night, remembering her parents' death. She hid herself from the light, Cassidy had just woken up and began to squint.
"Wake up, you bitch!" someone yelled in her ear. When Cassidy opened her eyes, she saw a brown haired tan chubby boy wearing tattered clothes. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a blue shirt.
"Who you callin' a bitch, yo' mom?" Cassidy asked.
"Shut up. My mom and dad are dead." he said.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"James, but you can call me Jamie, who ah you?" he asked.
"Cassidy. And what happened to you?" she asked, eyeing him up and down.
"You're not much of a sight yourself." James said.
"How old are you?" Cassidy asked.
"12." James replied.
"Me too." she said.
"What's wrong, your eyes are watering?" he asked.
"My parents are dead, too!" she yelled, crying out loud.
"Hey, don't cry." James said, wiping her tears away with his hand. They started to blush when a girl came up to them.
"James, what's taking so long?" a girl asked. She was a little fat girl with dark skin and a dirty white dress and her messy brown hair in pigtails. She walked with old sneakers and looked overly confident.
"I just met this girl." he said, standing up. "Her name's Cassidy."
"Hey Cassidy, I'm Lucy." she said, helping Cassidy stand up.
"Thanks." Cassidy said.
"You homeless, like us? I mean, this isn't coming out of the blue even though I just met you..." Lucy said.
"Yeah, but it's okay. I can live by myself." Cassidy said, trying her best to act tough.
"Well, we have a place around here. It's not exactly a house, it's pretty much like yours." James said.
"You two homeless as well?" she asked.
"Yeah." Lucy replied.
"We're brothers and sisters." James said.
"Let's go, I mean there's not much to do with talking." Cassidy said.
"It's this way." James said, pointing across the street.
Soon, they got lost and James looked a little worried. Lucy was looking around for landmarks and Cassidy was following.
"You got us lost?" Lucy asked angrily.
"Well, I thought we could take a shortcut..."
"Where is your place anyways?" Cassidy asked.
"The train station." Lucy said, looking around the street.
"You mean that train station?" she asked, pointing ahead of them.
"You found it!" James shouted, hugging Cassidy. He held her in a bear hug and kept her there for a while. She was blushing a light pink color and finally told him to let her down.
"Look for Compartment 12." James said, looking around.
"8...9...10...11...12, here we go!" Lucy yelled.
"It's not that nice, but it'll do." James said, using his strength to push the door open. It revealed a bunch of hay on one side and five blankets on another side. There were two small mattresses on the left and James instantly sat down and bounced on it.
"Sorry, but there are only two beds. The good thing about living on a train is you get to travel around. You just gots tah know when to get on the train." Lucy said, taking up all of her space on the bed. It had become dark, fast and the moon was up already. The train was moving slowly and then began to pick up the pace.
"Where am I gonna sleep?" Cassidy asked.
"Share James' bed and shut up! I'm trying to sleep!" she yelled, pulling her covers over her head. It was now James' turn to blush when he pulled her to the bed.
"I'll sleep on the floor, it doesn't matter." he said, looking out at the sky.
"What's wrong?" she asked, sitting next to him.
"You see that moon, way up in the sky?" James asked.
"Yeah."
"Well, I sometimes wonder if my parents are looking at it, too. I was lost one day one our summer vacation a year ago and they left for home. I've been here since."
"Sorry."
"Hey, don't be sorry." James said, putting his arm around her. She rested her head on his shoulder and blushed. It was too dark for them to notice, though.
"Lemme show you somethin'." he said, walking across the train. He revealed a dream catcher and she clasped it in her hands.
"What's this?" Cassidy asked.
"It's a dream catcher." James said. "Basically, it captures your bad dreams to create new ones."
"Where'd you get it?" Cassidy asked.
"Got it offa some guy. He said he recognized me and told me to keep it. It's supposed to be magic. but I don't believe him."
"What did he look like?" she asked.
"Bald, sunglasses, grey tuxedo, suitcase." James said.
"Doesn't really sound like a guy who believes in that kind of shit." Cassidy said, making James laugh.
"Yeah, well."
"Hey, there's a star." Cassidy said, pointing to the far edge. "Make a wish."
"Ummmm, done." they said at the same time, giving a little chuckle.
"What did ya wish for?" he asked.
"Isn't that against the rules?" Cassidy asked, giving the first smile she did in a long time.
"Not really." James replied.
"I wished to see my parents again." Cassidy said, tears coming out of her eyes.
"What did I tell you about crying?" he asked, drying her eyes.
"What did you wish for?" she asked.
"Well, I wouldn't tell you but I did made you cry. I wished my luck would improve." James said.
"Huh?"
"Basically, I wished to be more lucky. I've been wishin' that for quite a while. And I think my luck has started to improve."
"How? And when did it start?"
"When I met you." he said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. They giggled and blushed. She fell on his shoulder and they both fell asleep, not noticing the glow in his dream catcher.
