Kiara's POV
"No!" I shouted.
I was in my room? Shoot, it's late! But I thought-
"Kiara! Are you alright?" Finn asked.
I jumped, startled by him... I know I hated him before, but now... I just can't look at him with hate anymore. Not without remembering my dream...nightmare. He must have noticed my fear towards him because he let go of my left hand... Wait, what?! He was holding my hand?!
"Kiara you have to go now." he said pulling me out of my bed.
"How'd you get in my room?!" I shouted pulling my arm free.
"There's no time, the school is evacuating all the students because-"
"NO!" I backed up, "Leave me alone! I don't know why you're in my room, but now I know that I can't trust you!"
"Kiara it was just a nightmare, I would never hurt you."
How did he know?
"You called out for me, then stopped breathing." he said as if he read my mind.
I looked down... I can't trust him. Finn McMissile... my dream meant something... Suddenly my door was kicked open by... Holley Shiftwell? What was she doing here?
"Finn? Did you evacuate the-" she looked at me, then back at Finn.
"She's the last student." he informed her, "What about the east wing?"
"They all left." she replied.
What's going on? What's happening? Why did they have to evacuate the school?
Suddenly we heard an explosion from outside. Finn and Holley ran out of my room. I looked at my desk, I grabbed what I supposed to use last night on my 'mission'. I grabbed my gadget belt, watch, hair pin and my emergency duffel bag. I went outside and saw Finn and Holley looking at the science room which was now broken down and covered in smoke. A bunch of gruff looking guys stepped out.
"Lemons." I heard Holley say.
Finn looked at Holley and she nodded. She grabbed my arm and we ran away from the scene.
"Holley, what's going on?" I asked as we ran,
"Let's just say bad guys are attacking the school, we had to evacuate-"
"But we're spy students! We can take them down and help you." I said interrupting her.
"I realize that, but Finn didn't want to risk anyone's safety, so he got your principal to get all the students out of here. Which is where you have to be!" she said running faster.
Was she serious? If everyone in the school teamed up we could take down those evil dudes. I planted my feet on the ground.
"I'm not going anywhere." I stated crossing my arms.
"You have to!" Holley tried to reason, "You could get seriously hurt, it's too dangerous."
"Are you serious?! This is a spy school, we're all spy students, we're trained to face danger." I countered.
Holley bit her lip and thought for a moment. Finn ran up to us with a gun in his right hand and small circular object in his left hand.
"Holley! What is she still doing here?!" he shouted,
"I-I... she... I'm sorry sir." Holley said looking guilty.
Finn looked disappointed, but I couldn't really tell... It's hard to tell how he's feeling. He seems to have only one facial expression for whatever he's feeling.
I heard another explosion and saw two men down the hall. One was dressed in lime green while the other was dressed in bright orange. They sort of looked like twins. My eyes widened when I realized that they were chasing us.
"Go! Now!" Finn shouted.
Holley grabbed my arm once again ran towards the nearest exit. She looked at me and then back at Finn, who was fighting off the... lemons? I don't remember. I heard Holley mumble something but I couldn't quite hear what it was.
We heard another explosion, Holley looked really panicked because the next thing I knew she was pushing me into a nearby closet. I tried opening it but she locked it from the outside. Really?! A janitor's closet? How is this safe place?
I put my ear against the door to hear what was happening. I heard Finn and Holley talking, then those... lemons, was it? Then what I heard next scared me. A single gun-shot, Holley screaming, then a thud. What was happening?!
I looked around the closet and saw a window just above the doorway. I stood on my hands (did a hand-stand) and kicked open the window. I stack a bunch of random stuff on top of each other and squeezed through the window. As I tumbled onto the ground I noticed something bright red on the ground. Blood...
I saw the lemons laughing evilly at something, I looked in the same direction and saw... Finn was bleeding! Holley was on the ground trying to help him but also trying to protect both of them in the process.
"Look's like 'The Master Spy' ain't so tough anymore." the guy orange outfit said,
"Ha! Just wait 'til the boss hears about this!" the guy in the green outfit said.
I got so angry. How dare they barge into the school, how dare they damage school property and how dare they HURT FINN MCMISSILE! I ran up to both of them punching one in the face while kicking the other in the stomach.
"Hey Grem, who's the kid?" The guy in the green suit said as he held his nose which was now all bloody.
"Dunno Acer, maybe we should just kill 'er." The guy who I'm guessing was Grem said, he looked at me and his eyes widened. "Hey look! She's got red eyes and purple hair!"
The other guy, Acer looked at me, "She looks creepy, maybe she-"
"SHUT UP!" I shouted attacking them both again.
As if I needed two more people know that I'm different! Even bad guys think I'm a freak!
"Watch out!" I heard Holley warning me.
I turned around but not in time to see Acer hitting me in the head and throwing me against the wall. I felt something in body... everything felt... weird, I felt every nerve go numb. Then I randomly felt cold. What was happening to me?!
"Give up little girl?" I heard Grem say,
"Just shoot her already, then we'll get rid of that other spy girl over there." Acer said annoyed.
Grem pointed a gun at my head, but at the moment I didn't care because I felt my head pounding. I felt my whole body go weak.
"No... get away... from me..." I managed to say, but it sounded more like a warning.
"Yeah? And what if we don't?" Grem taunted.
I passed out, the last thing I heard was Grem and Acer screaming for help. The last thing I saw were Holley and Finn's horrified expression.
Holley's POV
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. After the girl, I think her name was Kiara, passed out her eyes turned red. Then a dark shadow covered her body. The lemons were terrified and ran away leaving us to stare at this... thing! Wait a moment... last night Finn was talking to me about a girl whose description matched Kiara's, could she be the girl? If so... then I was right! She is different... but I don't think that in a good way.
The dark shadow covering Kiara's body vanished leaving Kiara unconscious. Finn slowly got up, groaning from the pain in his left shoulder. as he made his way over to Kiara.
"Miss Shiftwell?" he asked,
"Y-yes Finn?" I answered, still shaken up by what just happened.
"Call Aiden... I need to discuss something with him." Finn said,
"Yes sir." I said pulling out my phone.
"And tell Siddeley... that Miss Tenebris will be joining us on our way to our destination." Finn added gripping his shoulder.
I nodded then walked away. This Kiara girl... why would Finn bring her along on our mission? What does she have to do with any of this? I glanced back at Finn who was still bleeding while looked down at the girl. Suddenly a thought came to me. What if she was a threat? She could take down this whole school and no body would know... I knew what I had to do, I had to keep an eye on this girl. I don't trust her and neither should anyone else.
Kiara's POV
I woke up with a splitting headache. I looked around and saw that I was on a bed. How on earth did I get here? The last thing I remember was that Grem was about to shoot me... then nothing. I got off the bed and teetered back and forth, eventually I regained my balance and tried looking for an exit.
I opened the door right in front of me because...well it was the only door there so... yeah I don't know. I creaked open and I heard voices, Finn and Holley's.
"Do you have their location?" I heard Finn say,
"Yes... it seems that their in... Paris." I heard Holley say. "Oh no."
"What is it Miss Shiftwell?" Finn asked,
"That's where Tomber lives." Holley said irritated.
Who's Tomber? And why exactly are they going to Paris? Finn glanced at the door and saw me.
"Ah, I see you're awake." he said gesturing for me to come out.
I lowered my head and walked in the room.
"How are you feeling?" Finn asked calmly.
"I'm fine!" I snapped, I still hated him.
I saw Holley raise an eyebrow at Finn. I could tell that she confused by my behaviour towards Finn. If she only knew... Finn noticed the cruelty in my voice and FINALLY knew that I hated him. But I disrespected him... so much for being a good student.
"I'm... sorry ." I said, I was lying and I could tell that he knew.
"It's quite alright..." he said.
"Wait... where am I? Where's the rest of the school?" I asked looking around.
Holley was about to answer when Finn interrupted her, "Miss Shiftwell and I arrested the lemons and because the school was damaged CHROME agents were assigned students to watch over while repairs are being made."
"I got assigned to you two?" I said in annoyance.
Holley glanced at Finn then nodded.
"Terrific, I'm so happy to know that." I said sarcastically. "So where am I?"
"On a jet to Paris." Holley replied,
"Paris? Jet? WHAT?! So while I'm unconscious you guys drag me into a jet and force me to go with you to Paris?!" I shouted,
"Pretty much, yeah." Holley said as she typed on her keyboard.
"Would you keep in down in there? Some of us are trying to- oh I don't know... FLY A JET AND KEEP IT FROM CRASHING!" I heard a voice from the speaker above me.
"Don't worry Siddeley, the skies are clear... and we're not that loud!" Holley said.
"Siddeley?" Who's Siddeley?
"Pilot and old friend." Finn explained... sort of.
"Please... I'm not as old as Finn." Siddeley said.
I accidentally let out a laugh, so did Holley.
"Excuse me?" Finn said offended.
I heard something tapping the microphone then I heard Siddeley again, "Oops...uh... is this thing still on?... Sorry Finn old chap..."
Finn rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Terrible sense of humor Sid."
"Um... yeah okay... so wait, basically I have to stick with you until the school is rebuilt or whatever?" I asked.
Finn nodded. Seriously?! I turned around and walked back into the room with bed and flopped down on it. I have to stick with Finn until the school is rebuilt, it's bad enough he scares me, but now I have to stick with him!
I saw my emergency duffel bag on the floor and picked it up. I took my iPod out and started listening to music. I wonder what Paris is like...
Holley's POV
I glared at Finn, why did he lie to her like that? Finn looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
"Why did you lie to her, Finn?" I asked quietly,
"I can't tell her the truth... at least not yet." Finn answered avoiding eye contact.
Whenever he avoids eye contact I can tell he's hiding a secret. Why does he always have to be so secretive?
"Finn, I've been your partner for a while now. I know can tell that you're hiding something." I said.
Finn turned around so his back was facing me. He didn't want to talk about it.
"We'll discuss this later Shiftwell... Kiara must not know that she is what we've been looking for." Finn said.
"Yes...sir." I said.
I know Kiara has something odd about her, but lying to her just doesn't feel right. She seems like a nice girl... sort of. I guess I can see Finn's side, if she only knew that she is a danger to everyone and everything she'd never be the same.
"I'm going to talk to her." I said getting up from my chair.
"Very well." Finn said still not turning around.
I walked into the room Kiara was in and found her lying down on the bed listening to music on her iPod. I knocked on the door, she glanced up at me and took an ear bud out.
"May I come in?" I asked politely,
"Yeah, sure." she said sitting up to face me.
I walked in and sat on the edge of the bed. I could hear music blasting out from one ear bud. How do kids listen to this stuff? Too loud for my taste. We both just stared at the ground, then Kiara broke the silence.
"So...um..." she started.
"Look, I admit I was very surprised to meet you. At first I thought you were-"
"A freaky weirdo?" she interrupted,
"No...no! No! Of course not!" I lied.
Kiara looked skeptic.
"Okay yes, I thought you were a little freaky... and to be honest I don't really trust you but... I just want don't want you to be tense around us." I blurted out.
Kiara looked at me, then looked down at her iPod.
"It's not you I'm tense around..." she said quietly, "It's... him."
Finn? But he is such a nice guy. Why would anybody be uncomfortable around him? Kiara looked at me again, I could tell that she regretted telling me this.
"Look Kiara," I started, "Finn is a really nice guy and if you just give him a chance to prove it to you then maybe you wouldn't be so tense around him."
"Well my problems are all because of him!" Kiara shouted, "Because of him I had to turn into little-miss-normal! How would you feel if you had to change your appearance just to impress someone who doesn't even care about you? How would you feel if you couldn't be yourself just because one person says you can't?!"
I was shocked, Finn would never... he's not that kind of person to...
"What's wrong with being normal?" I asked a bit rudely.
"What's wrong with being me?" Kiara asked quietly.
Silence drooped over us, the only thing we heard were the sounds of the jet engines.
"Kiara..." I just had to do what had to be done, "Can you just please cooperate?"
"Fine... but only for the mission." she said.
"Thanks, now let's get you something other than those to wear." I said gesturing to her pajamas.
Kiara's POV
I walked out of the washroom which was right beside the room I was staying in. I wore a sweater, a pair of jeans and running shoes. The outfit was black, of course, my favourite colour. I went into the room and grabbed my duffel bag, I put the gadget belt on my waist, and the CHROME watch on my wrist. I looked down and noticed that the last thing I brought was my hair pin. The same one that helped me take down Finn. I stuffed it in my pocket and walked out.
Finn and Holley both looked at me as I walked into the room and sat down.
"Dark clothing...of course." I heard Holley mumble.
I rolled my eyes. I just noticed what she was wearing. Holley wore a magenta coloured top with blue jeans and brown sandals. She also wore some bracelets, a CHROME watch and a necklace. I also noticed that she had straight brown hair and green eyes...
"So... how much longer until we reach Paris?" I asked trying to make conversation,
"Depends... do you want to get there right now?" Siddeley asked through the speaker.
"Uh, sure. I guess so." I said, I noticed Holley and Finn exchanging glances. Something was up.
"Afterburners sir?" Siddeley asked,
"Is there any other way?" Finn replied flashing a smile.
I was so confused, what the heck are they talking about?!
"Wait... what's afterbur-"
"Hold on tight!" Siddeley said.
The next thing I knew I was slammed against the back of the room. the jet was speeding up way to fast! I couldn't feel my face! The jet seemed to being getting faster by every passing second. Just when it started, the jet came to a screeching halt. I flew from the back of the jet to the front of the pilot room, where Siddeley was. My face was slammed, once again, onto the front window. I slid down and let my head bang on the ground.
"We're here." Siddeley said happily, "Paris."
My whole body ached, why didn't anyone warn me?! I lifted my head and looked at Siddeley, he wore a silver jumpsuit and some cool-looking goggles.
"Like Finn said, terrible sense of humor Sid." I said as I let my head fall back on the ground.
