Ziggy Lancaster POV
It is like I am in a horror movie. I ride up to the mansion on my rickety old bike that I have had since I was seven and is bright pink. I skid to a halt at the big black metal gates and look up at the famous Condor mansion and gulp.
Little kids are always warned by their parents when riding past this house "never go into Condor mansion." now I know why. The gargoyles sitting on the wall say it all.
The grand tall building seems to have about five floors, complete with a spooky one windowed attic. Every window is tall and thin and I swear I can see people's faces in the windows every time the lightning flashed above me. I shake it off thinking it is just my overactive imagination and walk up to the big black metal gates.
The gates have spikes on the top that look like they have been sharpened there is actually a blackbird lying dead on one of the spikes. Just looking at it makes me feel sick. I walk over to the intercom and ring the bell. I swear the gargoyles eyes just moved to look at me.
"What do you want?" Asks the disgusted voice, I put on my professional voice and say.
"Agent L2 sir." I answer.
"You're not permitted to enter miss, good day."
"Check your records again sir, I am a level 1 agent."
I hear a sigh. "Who are you here to see?"
"Master Condor."
Slowly the big metal gates creak open.
"Come in Miss Lily, Master Condor is happy to see you."
I hesitantly walk through the gates. I look over to my left and see a couple of graves. I sharply turn my head towards the path, too scared to look to my right. Instead I just focus on the path ahead and try to ignore the bats screeches, the dog howls, the owls twiterwoo's and every other spooky sound I can hear. Suddenly I jump as the thunder roars in the sky above me, a second later the lightning comes turning the sky blood red for a millisecond.
I hasten my step until after what seems years I reach the front door. It is painted midnight black but the paint has started to peel making it look centuries old. There is a big brass lion knocker on the door and like the gargoyle's, its eyes seem to move. I lift my hand to knock when the doors swing open banging against the walls. I leap back startled and see a tall, thin, bald man dressed in black suit, a crisp white shirt and a bow tie. No joke. I have to pinch myself to check I am not dreaming. His mouth stretched into a sinister smile.
"Good evening Miss Lily come right this way."
I enter into what looks like the front hall. I nearly slip on the shiny marble floor and I gasp at the spiralling marble staircase in front of me. But this was no princess's castle, this was more of a ghosts lair, as the marble staircase is littered with spiders and cobwebs and any move anyone made echoed throughout the whole building. It is the creepiest place I have ever entered and that is saying something. The butler speaks disturbing my thoughts.
"Follow me Miss Lily, try to keep up, we wouldn't want you getting lost."
I follow him carefully down the long creepy corridors and up heaps of stairs, trying to follow in his exact footsteps as to make sure not to fall into any traps. Eventually he stops outside a blue door. Looking irritated he said.
"Master Condor's room Miss, enter when you please. Goodnight."
And with that he turns sharply and walks down the hallway.
I wait until I can no longer hear the clip clopping of his shoes, then take a deep breath and turn the door knob and walk straight into his room and say.
"Hi Liam we need to talk."
He turns around from his desk and does a spit take when he sees me. I am wearing exactly what I wore when I first met Allie and Megs. And I am proud to say he totally checked me out. Eventually he stutters.
"Ziggy? How, how, how did you get in?"
"I am Agent L2 the daughter of Agent L1. I think you two have met?"
He laughs.
"Your Laura's daughter? Haha very funny, Laura doesn't have a daughter, you are playing with me!"
"You wanna bet, Eric, or should I say Liam Condor?"
I am very ashamed to say I pull my shiny silver gun out of my bag and hold it aimed towards his head. My face blank from emotion I say,
"Liam, I am Lily Light daughter of Laura Light, but you know me under my cover name Ziggy. I am a level 1 agent of the condor society."
"Are you gonna kill me?"
"Of course not," I lower the gun. "I was just doing what I had to, to get you to believe me. Do you?"
He doesn't answer so I lift the gun back up and say.
"Well let me prove it."
I change my aim and shoot. The bullet is silent and shoots threw the air hitting the centre of the dart board. I lower the gun and ask.
"Now do you believe me?"
Still staring at me, silently he gets up out of his chair and walks straight towards me, looking me straight in the eyes.
His face still showing no expression as he peels each one of my fingers from the gun, he takes the gun and throws it carelessly onto the blue quilted bed then turns back to look at me in the eyes.
I look straight back up at him; the confusion in my face must defiantly have shown as he smiles a small smile before cupping my face in his lightly tanned hands and kissing me firmly on the lips.
I melt into him, forgetting everything I came here to do, everything that told me I shouldn't be doing this, my mum, Tawni, Allie everyone flew out of my brain as his lips came down on mine.
My hands fly to his hair running their way through his blonde silky hair and bringing him closer to me at the same time he moves his arms from my face to my waist and bringing me closer to him.
I don't know how long we stood there kissing, but to me it wasn't long enough as, as suddenly as he started kissing me he stops, tearing his mouth away from mine, leaving me not only unable to speak but my lips feeling delightfully bruised and tingly.
We are both breathing but he seems to have the energy to curve his mouth into the perfect smile and say to me with a twinkle in his eye that only I can see.
"That's my Ziggy."
Then he kisses me again.
Liam Condor/Eric Shaw's POV
I pulled her down onto my bed as we start to kiss more passionately. After a while she pulls away.
"I can't do this Eric."
She says getting off me. I sit up and stare at her.
"I wasn't going to do anything Ziggy, I am not that kind of guy, you know that."
"No not that, I just can't, can't." She stops pacing and puts her hands over her face.
I get up and walk over to her and peel her hands off her face and but she refuses to make eye contact with me, I whisper softly.
"You can't do what Lily?"
"I can't do this 'friends with benefits' thing Liam! I can't do it, I can't!" She shouts angrily.
I move away from her a little confused. "Lily I was not going to leave you hanging again like last time if that's what you mean. I would love to go out with you but I was going to ask you after this mess is over!"
"You were?"She asks staring at me.
"Of course you Muppet." I say wrapping my arms round her once again and kissing her on the lips. I smile and look at her. "Let's start where we left off." I say before kissing her deeply.
Allie May Cooper's POV
I yawn and get off the couch and grab my stuff, Tommy catches me as I am just about to reach Tawni's door.
"Allie, for you. Don't open it until you get home." Tommy gives me a little green box.
"Aw Tommy you shouldn't have!"
"Yes I should now get home!"
As I walk home I open the little green box and gasp. It's a beautiful Tiffany's locket, it's shaped like a heart and it's got two spaces for two pictures. I love it. I immediately put it on and slip it underneath my shirt.
I eventually get home, it actually it took over an hour to even attempt to get to the door. I don't think I have ever seen so much paparazzi in my life! Not even when Megs lost her tiara, (you don't even want to know where she found it). I got in and slid down the door.
"Hey sweetie? Getting used to the paparazzi yet?" Sonny asks.
I groan. "Is there anything we can do to get rid of them?"
Sonny pauses in thought then smiles. "Actually there is something my cast mates and I used to do to get rid of the paparazzi. I will go and get your father, you find anything pourable, the more disgusting the better. We meet you on our balcony."
A grin spreads across my face and I grab a plastic bag and start filling it with soap, mushy peas, baked beans, soup, anything and everything. I also grab a little gadget that I got for my 6th birthday, then I joining them on the balcony. We all grabbed a weapon and opened it then poured them down onto the paparazzi. They were not impressed.
We heard a lot of "ew's!" and "this is designer!" ect ect. I finished it off with my 6th birthday present which was a sweet dispenser. I got one of these sweets and dropped it to the ground below. Suddenly there was a loudish bang and lots of smoke.
My parents turn to me furious. "Alison May Cooper, if you have injured anyone, you are in serious trouble."
"Relax dad it just makes a loud bang and sends out smoke, no explosion or anything, I got it as a 6th birthday present."
"Who the hell in their right minds would give explosives to a six year old!" Dad exclaims.
"Zora."
"Oh." They both say and we turn our eyes to the paparazzi below. We start to laugh as they look so funny. They are all covered in green, orange mush and all startled from the bang. It was a funny sight seeing so many reporters stumble around seeing stars.
I turn to my parents. I high five both of them then we walk into the house, I have so much fun with them, I really wouldn't want anything to happen to them. I love them too much. We have a big roast dinner and pour the rest of the gravy on any reporters that are still outside then sit down in front of the TV and start to watch old episodes of Mackenzie Falls and So Random, I like Mackenzie Stalls the best or the one where Dad guest stared in Mum's show. They started telling me story's related to the episodes.
"Can you believe it Allie! She made me kiss a pig!" Both Sonny and I are laughing quite hysterically by this point. "It was not funny! Really disgusting!" Dad then got in a hump and crossed his arms and pouted.
"Aww is my Chaddy upset?"
"Maybe."
"Will this help?" She whispers as she leans in and kisses him. I decide not to stop them this time as they really are the cutest couple. They pull away and smile at each other. They pull me in and we have a big group hug. I love it when they are like this.
Sonny looks over to the TV. "OMG this is the week I died your hair pink and you had to where a wig for this episode!" Sonny exclaims.
"That wasn't funny Munroe!" Dad exclaims turning round to look at the screen. "Is it me or is my wig a little wonky?" He asks.
I roll my eyes and say.
"I am going to bed now, night!"
"Ok sweetie," Says Sonny kissing me on the cheek and giving me a hug. "Sleep well."
"Night Dad." I kiss him on the cheek and head up stairs. "Night honey!" he shouts up to me.
As I snuggle up in bed. Everything is perfect I wish nothing will change, I thought as I drifted off to sleep. Unfortunately I was completely oblivious to what happened as I slept which would influence my life in such a dramatic way...
