"Everything is always okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end"

Lexi's POV
We arrived in London a few days later. I instantly fell in love with this place.
It took some time; but we finally got away from the group of church-goers. I could tell that Vanille wasn't a religious kid, and I can't say I am either. But we had money and food, and Vanille was determined to find this boy. So I just followed.
..
We were alone for about a week before we came across the other group of the church. They were at a Starbucks getting coffee. Vanille, Vanessa and I walked in carefully; trying not to grab anyone's attention. We are still on the run from the officials from the Mental Institution, you know. And on top of that, the group of church peeps are also looking for us. We were almost caught the other day while at a fast food joint.
Third Person
Vanille scanned the crowd of chattering customers and store clerks. Her green eyes roaming around in a searching manner; frantic searching, actually.
"Micah!" she called out, her voice almost being swallowed by the noise in the room.
"Here!" a male's voice called back, somewhere in the group of people. Vanille lurched forward, running under legs and around bodies. Vanessa and Lexi followed.
"Thank God for being kids." Vanessa muttered as she dodged a large man with a coffee and donut.
Vanille laughed, glancing back at Vanessa. "Yes. It's quite wonderful."
We made it to the very back where a young boy and a few others were sitting at a table. One of the boys, the one with dark brown hair and grey eyes, jumped up. He ended up knocking over another boy as he did so. "Vanny!"
Vanille grinned, running over to him and jumping on him in a hug. "Micah!"
He was about 12 years old, somewhere around there. He made Vanille look so tiny as he wrapped her up in a hug.
"It's great to see you! What are you doing in London?" he asked her, setting her back down on the ground.
"Your father sent us on this trip!" Vanille smiled, motioning to Vanessa and Alexis.
"W-what?" Micah said, jumping back. "But it's 100 dollars per person!"
Vanille froze, "B-but he said it w-was free!"
Micah shrugged, grinning from ear to ear. "My parents are loaded anyways."
Vanille nodded, trying to reasure herself.
"Who are your friends?" Micah asked, trying to change the subject.
"Oh. Introduce yourselves, girls." The redhead said, smiling to her two best friends.
"Alexis." the blonde said, bowing her head.
"Vanessa." the other said shyly, sort of hiding behind Lexi.
Micah grinned, motioning to the group behind him.
"Jason, Karl, Widney and Rose."
Jason was a tall boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. Karl and Widney were twins, both about 11 or 12 with brown hair and brown eyes and Rose was a small little girl, probably around 11 or 12 as well. Her long white blonde hair fell in ringlets down her back and her eyes were an un natural sort of electric blue. ((Wonder where Vanille got her cat's name from, now?))
"Nice to meet you." Most everyone said in unison.
"Micah." Vanille said seriously, after his friends had gone into discussing something with each other.
"Yeah?" he asked, looking down at her with sparkly grey eyes.
"We need some help." she replied quietly. After he asked, she launched into explanation about what happened to all three of them over the past year and a half.
"Wow." Micah said once she was done. "That's some pretty messed up crap."
The three girls nodded.
..
"Hmmm... His name should be Gargoyle." Vanessa giggled, pointing at the odd- but cute -looking pug puppy.
((All rights for that sentence belong to ObsessionistofMany))
"I agree." Micah grinned, looking at her.
Vanessa blushed, looking away. "Thank you for him." she answered, bending down and picking the puppy up in her arms. "He's adorable."
Vanille elbowed Lexi, nodding to the two. "I think they like each other."
Lexi nodded, "Agreed."
TIME SKIP, BROS!

Vanille's POV
I dodged around a man with a tazer and jumped up onto a trashcan in the allyway where we were at. "Idiot!" I screeched, jumping down and running out of the ally. I kept running and running until I came to a stop at the park a few blocks away. I jumped over the bench, tucking and rolling when I hit the ground.
"I love you mom, for making me take gymnastics." I muttered, pulling a twig from my hair and lurching torward the huge oak tree in the middle of the park. Vanessa and Lexi were in the branches, only detectable in the moonlight.
I climbed up, breathing hard. "Been caught, ey?"
Lexi grinned, "That's half the fun."
I should probably explain to you what happened to us, yeah?
Well; we left London a few years ago and flew to Paris using Micah's credit card that his father gave him. Apparently, the police from the Nut House (AKA: Mental Institution) finally got enough money and tracked us down to London. The clerks at the hotel we had been staying at told them that we bought tickets for a flight to Paris. So now, Lex and I are 12 years old each and Vanessa is 11. Yeah, it sucks.
"I know you're up there!" one of the police man yelled up to us.
"Shit!" Lexi cursed, jumping down silently on the other side of the tree. I followed and looked up at Gargoyle and Vanessa.
She motioned for me to run. I didn't think about it as I dashed to the bushes and hid with Lexi. I thought she was following... but I was wrong.. Oh so wrong.
"It's only me." Vanessa called out, climbing down in front of the police.
One of them grabbed her, throwing her down on the ground. Gargoyle jumped up, biting the crap out of the policeman's hand.
"ACK!" the other one shouted. He aimed his gun at Gargoyle and shot. the dog fell over, blood oozing from a wound in his chest.
"NO!" Vanessa shouted, trying to stand up. One of the three men pushed her back down, kicking her side.
Tears flooded my eyes and I shot out of the bushes, tackling the big one down as Lexi kicked the fat one in the head. The last one screeched as Vanessa jumped up and kicked him between the legs.
"You bitch!" the one I tackled yelled at me after I snatched away all his weapons.
I spit on his face, "Got that right." I took his gun and hit him upside the head with it. He passed out with the other two and we three made our way to a public bathroom to get washed up.
..
"Vanessa Farron. You are being sentenced to a year in federal prison." the judge's voice rang out around the room.
The young girl only stared at the floor, trying not to cry. One year wasn't too bad, right?
"For second degree man slaughter on the case of being mentally unstable, you only get one year. Micah Bullock was your friend. And you killed him. But since you are mental; we won't charge as bad." The continued.
Vanille's fist clenched. She was 15 years old, and Lexi was beside her, crying silently. Vanessa was being charged with the murder of her boyfriend. But the 14 year old didn't kill Micah. The policeman that found them did. Of course, the stupid feds don't want anyone to know that their own kind was a first degree murderer.
Vanille, her mom, her baby sister and Alexis were sitting beside each other in the audience. The trial was over. Vanessa was going to jail.
"Stupid.. stupid... stupid..." Vanille muttered, wiping her eyes frantically to get rid of the tears.
Lexi wrapped a comforting arm around her best friend, crying with her.
"It will be alright, my dears." Mrs. Witchtrap demanded, standing up. "I'll have a talking-to with that judge."
..
Vanille's POV
My mom wasn't able to get Vanessa out of it, to our dismay. But I decided I would just wait it out. She would join us in a year. In the meantime, I would plot that policeman's death and mourn over Micah, who lost his life protecting the only girl he ever loved. She was only 11, but she was so strong. Her mind was as mature as an old woman, and her feelings were real; as was his.
When you've been in survival mode since you were little; you grow up faster. You don't have the time to be a kid. You have to protect yourself and the people around you that you care about. Or else you won't make it. We three did because we has each other. We weren't kids at heart, anymore. From when I was five, and since Lex could talk, we've always been in the survival mode. We've never been a kid, growing up with loving parents.
I didn't want that kind of life. I liked being as I was. I knew how to take care of myself and escape death and the government. I could hack into a computer since the age of nine. I could cook and clean since the age of seven. I knew what I was doing and I always have. I always will.
But the one thing I've decided over the years is this:
No matter how strong, tough or brave you are. No matter what your personality is and what you believe; if you're a girl, you're always gonna need a hero. It doesn't matter if he is a knight on a white horse in shining armour, a farmer on his tracker, a wizard on a Firebolt, a vampire in a Volvo or a badass criminal... You'll always need a hero. No matter the age or the time.

Vanille's POV
I sat up after I heard Konan and Lex sit up. I guess I wasn't dreaming after all.
"Vanille? Lexi?" Konan asked hoarsely. She sounded as if she would cry.
I grinned at her, "In the flesh."
I nearly screamed in joy from all the happiness I was feeling. I jumped out of bed, throwing open the door with Elli on my back. Konan and Alexis were right behind me. I ran down the hall, searching for the kitchen.
We found it. It took us like 20 minutes, but we did find it. I heard people talking and I ran faster.
Hey, training with ninjas sho does pay off.
I felt something move in my pocket and I looked down to see Rose. I realized then that I was in an Akatsuki cloak. So was Konan and Lex. Elli however was wearing a long sleeved black dress that fell past her feet. it had a large red Akatsuki cloud on the front.
I pondered this before I burst open the door. Konan stood on my right, looking calm. Elli was cowering on my back and Lex was beside me, grinning like an idiot.
There was a clatter as plates fell and people jumped up.
"It's my bitch!" Hidan yelled. He was the first to break the silence.
Before I knew what was happening, Sasori was hugging me tightly and Lexi was being nearly consumed by Kisame. Konan and Pein were crying and kissing and hugging and everything. I didn't see Itachi or Deidara. I gave hugs to everyone before I got a chance to collect myself.
"Whose this?" Kakuzu asked, motioning to Elli, who was hiding behind Konan.
"Elizabeth. My sister." I replied, hugging the nearest person to me; Hidan.
"He's in his room." Sasori said, looking at me. I nodded and walked out of the kitchen. I'm sure Lexi went to find Itachi as well.
I walked up the stairs to Deidara's room and studio. I knocked on it softly before opening the door and stepping in.
He was working on a sculpture, that much I could tell.
He didn't seem to hear me or sense me. I walked over to right behind him, placing my hands on his shoulders and kissing the top of his head.
He whirled around so fast, I thought I'd fall. He had me pinned to the wall and he had a kunai to my throat. "Who are you, yeah?"
I gasped for air, "Vanille! It's me!"
He growled, "Prove it!"
I searched my mind for something to say to him that only he and I shared.
"Uh! I-I... I told you once t-that you were my hero! I showed you that video on youtube!You s-said you were my Snow and I w-was your Serah!" I gasped again, clawing at his hadn to remove the kunai.
At my words, he instantly dropped the weapon and inveloped me in a hug. "I'm so so sorry, un."
I began to cry. Not because I was upset, but because I was so happy.
He kissed me all over my face, asking questions and saying "I love you" over and over and over.
I laughed. I was in my happy place. I was in heaven.
