And the awaited chapter nine hope you enjoy! Blah, blah, blah. Anyway enjoy!

Over the next few weeks I hardly got a wink of sleep. My time was taken up by training sessions moving people into the base and making weapons for the war. The training sessions became more common and more difficult and everyone was becoming more and more dangerous every day, they were still not any competition for us but they would be able to take on the enemy easily.

It was my last training session of the day and tomorrow was the day that our enemies were due to show up. They were training harder than ever and probably didn't even need my encouragement; however I still gave it to them. The look on their faces was of pure concentration and I was so proud of them. But I didn't let it show on my face, the look on my face was of strictness I made them think I wanted more.

The session ended. I told them to sit down and they obeyed. I smiled "I am so proud of you," I exclaimed. "You are ready and you are going to blow them away." They were all smiling; proud of themselves and they should have been. They had learned a lot more in a few weeks than some agents did in their whole lives and they were focused. Together they would be lethal and that was why I was so proud of them. "Alright," I said "you are all dismissed; I want you all to go back to the base and get to bed around nine. Now I know it's early but you have an early start tomorrow and well, trust me you need to be well rested." They left and so did I.

When I arrived last minute preparations were being made. I heard Captain having a laugh down the hall, and then I knew who he was laughing with. Captain had flown in the Director on one of our planes. The Director was the only vampire in the world who had a higher position at the agency than Captain. Most people called him the Director however I and most of my friends called him Marty.

They came around the corner. "Hello Miss White," he said smugly. Honestly! The first time he'd met me that was what he'd called me and I hated it; I hated it whenever anyone called me miss. "Oh shut it Marty," I said. He laughed and we shook hands. "What have ya been up to?" he asked. "What does it look like I've been up to," I asked back. He laughed again "So Captain tells me you still don't give a damn about your own wellbeing." I was pretty sure that was exactly what Captain had said a few weeks ago. "Oh yeah captain just tell everyone," I said "you both know very well, that I take my job very seriously." "We know Stephanie," Captain said. "What you don't take seriously is yourself," Marty commented. They both laughed as I smiled and when they eventually stopped laughing I said "Yeah, yeah whatever I'm gonna go to my room." "See you at six tomorrow morning," Captain said. I sighed and they both laughed again, if they didn't stop laughing they were going to kill us all.

I rode down in the elevator by myself because almost everyone was already in their rooms for the night. I arrived at the seventh floor; it was weird thinking of it as the seventh floor as all the floors were underground. The only reason I referred to it as the seventh floor was because it was the seventh floor down.

I walked in to my family's living room and they were all busy doing something, my mother was cleaning and my father was reading. Everyone else was either watching TV or playing blackjack. Everyone said hi to me before I went and sat down next to Luke so I could play blackjack. Tim, Alexandra and Juliette were also playing and they were up to the second hand.

By the time we were finished playing it was already ten o'clock. Crap! I thought, I jumped up said goodnight to everyone and went to bed. They said they wouldn't be long after; I had taught them to sleep when they had first come to the agency. They had been amazed.

The next morning I woke up at five am, I was still tired. After telling the group of agents I was training over and over how important it was to get to bed early, I was the one who had stayed up late. I hoped out of bed and put my uniform on then I went out to the living room and watched the news. Apparently the price of shoes had gone up by 12% in the last year; well isn't that interesting I thought sarcastically. Luke came out of the room then and said "Isn't that a tragedy about the shoes." I laughed we both thought that wasn't newsworthy.

Everyone must have heard us laughing because they came out of their rooms. We all watched the TV until it was time for me to go upstairs. I said bye to everyone and received hugs.

When I reached the top floor Captain was waiting for me. The look on his face told me they'd arrived, which was what I'd assumed. I sighed. "Quadrant F7, area c," he said. "Alright, my partner?" I asked. "Timane." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "She's already out there," he said. "K thanks again," I replied as I walked out the door. We used the quadrant system whenever we were in a war for the same reasons we used it when we went to the Amazon.

It didn't take me long to reach my quadrant; in fact I'd walked the whole way there. When I arrived Timane was sitting down but obviously keeping watch because she saw me coming easily. She turned around and met me with a handshake and hug. We didn't need to say anything for two reasons; one; because we had been friends for around one hundred years at the time, we understood each other perfectly. And two; because we had been in wars before there was no need to even ask each other how we were feeling because it was perfectly obvious. War is hell.

For the first few hours the watch was completely uneventful and we barely talked at all. It was getting boring but we didn't leave and we didn't drop our focus. That's when I saw him, he wasn't on our quadrant but he was here and a part of this war, which was not a good. Timane snapped to attention as she saw him too. She tensed and I saw a slight bit of spite in her expression; I didn't blame her, I'm sure my expression looked almost identical.

However we couldn't leave our Quad but at least we could report it to Captain that he was here. It was killing us both not being able to do anything to get rid of him.

The man I was talking about went by the name of Sebastian Perez. Really annoying were the best words to describe him. He'd enslaved me once before as revenge for killing his parents but I'd escaped. I was away for two years he'd trained me to fight like him and I hated fighting that way. He'd made me channel my anger and use it to fight, it was really unhealthy and I tried to avoid doing it as much as possible.

I pondered this, why was he here, he'd already had his revenge on me so why come back? Those were all good questions but they'd distracted me because suddenly there was a shadow towering over me. I looked up and saw one of the most evil villains the agency had ever encountered. Above me stood a man I'd come to loathe in the time we knew each other. He was Sebastian Perez...

K hope you liked that chapter. Sneak peek of the next chapter: there's gonna be a big fight scene and something could happen to Timane and Stephanie, you'll have to wait and see. Please review!
