"So let's go pick out our outfits first. We are suppose to be two sisters who love horseback riding. So let's wear similar horseback riding gear." Alexa said this while scanning the different clothing section till we got to sports.
We walked over to the horseback riding clothes and saw two outfits in our size except one was green and black and one was blue as black. I pick the green one out while Alexa grabbed the blue one. We walked back over to our station and hung up our clothes.
Alexa studied me and said, "so I have a slightly smaller nose so I will put on a fake nose to match yours. Your eyes are jasmine like so we will do our eye makeup winged and the shadow will match our outfits. Our eye color needs to be both dark brown so you will need contacts. Then we will both put on a shade of pink lipstick. Our hair will be put into wigs so we both have black hair." She grabbed two of the same black wigs. Our hair was going to go down to our shoulders.
We got started one each other so I did our hair and put both our wigs into a side braid. Alexa did our makeup and I put in my contacts and made sure her nose looked real. By the time we were done with our makeup and hair we had 15 minutes left.
We both rushed to the changing room and put on the uniforms. When we stepped out I must say I couldn't tell the difference. We seriously looked like twins! It helped that we were both slim, muscular, and we were both the same height. She looked over at me and said, "wow we look like twins! Except the boobs are a dead give away. Mine are smaller than yours so I'll go put on a stuffed bra real quick so they look similar."
Once she was done we walked out with 3 minutes to spare. We sat down next to each other and waited for Zach and Joe to get back. Cameron was at the front of the class reading a book completely ignoring everyone else. We sat there and eventually all the students came out in there disguises.
Will and Luke did a very good job on there disguises. Will was a 40 year old politician and Luke was a 35 year old EMT. Dustin looked like he was supposed to be a science professor so he looked the same just older and different features and kourt looked like she was a tired mom going out for a night on the town with her girls. They all did pretty well at their disguises.
Joe and Zach walked back into the room and stood up at the front with Cameron. They all came to us one by one and graded us on our work. They finally got to me and Alexa.
"Alexa and Raven. Two sister who enjoy horseback riding." Zach said then looked up at us. All three of them had a shocked look on there face. Alexa and I glanced at each other and smirked. Zach turned to me and said "good job Alexa" then turned to Alexa and said "good job Raven".
Alexa looked like she was about to laugh and said, "uh Mr. Goode... I'm Alexa. That's Raven." She said pointing to me.
"Oh wow" Cameron said from beside him.
"Very good disguises ladies" joe said then moved on to grade the others. Zach looked confused, but turned and walked off to the next person to grade. Cameron stayed back and said, "you girls did awesome. I can't even tell you who's who. Well done." She smiled and joined Joe and Zach.
Will and Luke came up to us and sat down behind us. "You girls make some hot twins." Luke said as he sat down behind me.
"Why thank you Luke." Alexa said with a bright smile on her face. I just nodded my head and smiled at him. We all got our disguises off and was about to walk out of the classroom when we heard Joe speak up, "Raven, Luke, and Will. Can you stay behind for a little bit?" We all nodded and walked up to the teachers.
Zach glanced and me and said, "so we know we told Raven she couldn't go out into town. However, we will allow her to on one condition." I peeked up at this. They were actually considering letting me leave? Will and Luke said at the same time, "well what is it?"
Cameron moved in front of me and said, "we are going to put a tracker on you. Zach, myself, Bex, Grant, Macey, Joe, and Rachel are all going as well. We won't be watching you the entire time since you will be with our kids, but we will be tracking you. And if you leave at any point and are not within a certain range we will detonate the tracker and you will fall into a coma."
Lord. They are taking serious precautions about this, but I don't blame them. I just really wana get out of the school for a little while. Even if that means putting a tracker in me and possibly being put into a coma...
I looked at all of them and said, "I'll do anything at this point to get out of this hell hole." With that being said Elizabeth was walking in at this point with a gun looking device. I guess that's what has the tracker in it. Cameron came up to me and said, "turn around. The tracker is going to go into the back of your neck." I the turned around and lifted up my hair to give her access to my neck. I heard the click and felt the sting of the tracker being implanted into me. Liz looked at me and said, "if you for some reason try to remove the tracker it will cause it to detonate, so I would recommend leaving it alone."
Awesome...
Will POV:
I watched as Raven was escorted back to her room by Rachel and everyone began to leave except me, mom, and dad. I could tell they wanted to talk to me so I hung back with them. "So what's up?"
"Well when you and the gang go out to town tonight we want you to keep an eye on Raven. I don't think she will try anything, but better safe than sorry." Mom said.
"Do you think she still wants to kill us?" Dad shook his head and said, "no I don't think she does, but that doesn't mean she won't do the job she has been given and that's what worries me. Even if she doesn't want to kill us, who's to say she won't Cary out the orders given to her by the circle."
Damn dad has a point. Even if Raven acts like she doesn't care about our school I can tell she enjoys it. She feels like she belongs here. And she does.
Mom broke the tension by saying, "well. I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to go shower and freshen up before we head into town. Tell Luke the same thing we told you."
"Yes ma'am. Love you guys!"
"Love you to sweat heart" mom said.
"Love you too" dad said and they strutted off our the door with me following them. We got off the elevator and agreed to meet at 5:30 to go into town.
Raven POV:
It was 5:25 when there was a nock at my door. It opened to reveal Grant. "Are you ready?" He asked. I nodded my head and left out the door with him. I was wearing shorts, a blue v neck tank top, a leather jacket, and converse. My hair was down in curls and my makeup was slightly done with just some mascara and lip gloss.
"So Grant..."
"Mr. Newman"
"Yeah Grant, so how are you and Rebecca?" He stiffened when I said her name and turned to look at me. "You have no right to ask me that."
"Oh and why is that?" I asked with a fake hurt and curious expression.
"Because you are apart of the circle. I don't care if Zach and Cammie trust you, but me, Bex, and everyone else doesn't." He was walking towards me at this point making me back up into the wall. "You are a killer. Don't think of a second you have everyone fooled with your innocent act. In my eyes and everyone else's you don't belong here." He was trying to intimidate me. I stood my ground and walked towards him making him back up this time.
"I don't care what you think of me Grant Newman. Your smart to know that I am the enemy. To not trust me. So if you don't trust me, then why let your kids anywhere near me? It's not just the adults the circle wants killed. It everyone they hold dear to thier hearts they want killed as well. That means your kids." He was loosing the mask he hid his emotions behind. He was still backing away from me, but I came to a stop.
Something in what I said made me feel guilty for wanting to kill all them... maybe I shouldn't... no stop. Don't think like that. The circle is my family, it's where I grew up... but I feel like this is where I belong.
Before he could tell what I was thinking I put an evil smirk on my face and glared at him and said, "that means my mission is to kill everyone. And what better way to make you all suffer than to kill your kids and make you all watch? Or maybe this whole bad ass act I'm doing is fake. Maybe I don't want to kill anyone. Maybe I want to change." I said this to try and throw him off.
He looked taken back by what I said. He looked confused. "No. Someone like you could never change."
"But Joe changed. Solomon was apart of the circle for forever till Mathew Morgan came along and he decided to switch sides. And Zach's mother was a head agent of the circle and she wanted to kill Cameron." I looked at him to try and see what he was thinking.
"They were forced into the circle. Joe Solomon left and earned everyone's trust. Zach left when he was old enough to realize what was going on was wrong. You are still apart of the circle and killing people even when you know what your doing is wrong."
"Joe was 16 when he joined. He knew what was right and what was wrong, yet he was still apart of it. Who's to say I'm just like Zach? A girl raised in the hell hole trying to find a way out." He was silent. He just turned and started walking to the elevator. I followed in pursuit and got into the elevator with him. It was an awkward silence till we stepped out of the elevator when I heard, "Raven!" I turned and saw Alexa running up to me and embracing me into a hug. "I'm so excited you get to come with us!" She said into my ear. I just hugged her back and smiled "me too."
Macey looked at us with a worried expression as well as everyone else. I guess they were scared I would do something to Alexa for hugging me. I actually kinda liked Alexa.
Zach spoke first, "so is everyone ready?" Everyone said yes and we all filed out the front door and into 2 vans. Luke, Will, kourt, Amanda, Cameron, Grant, and Rachel all piled into one van while me, Joe, Zach, Macey, Alexa, Bex, And Dustin all got into the other. Joe was driving and Dustin was in the passenger seat. I sat in the middle row with Zach and Bex at my sides while Alexa and Macey sat I. The back.
"Hey Mr. Solomon! Can we turn on some music?" Alexa asked.
Dustin answered her instead, "the van doesn't have radio Alexa." Alexa just rolled her eyes and threw on her head phones. It was only a 10 minute drive to town, but the awkward silence and Dustin's rant about pyrotechnics made it feel like an hour...
I was so happy when we finally pulled up to the parking lot and all got out of the vans. Alexa grabbed my hand and said, "let's go shopping!" I looked back at the group and saw Cameron just nod her head telling me it was okay to go. I kinda wanted her to say something cause to be honest I hated shopping. I guess Zach and the others saw my expression and started laughing.
Will, Luke, Dustin, Kourteney, and amanda all followed Alexa and I as she dragged me into a store. We walked into the store and I have to say I liked the style. I walked around with Girls and everyone was picking out outfits to try on. Or more like Alexa was throwing clothes at us to try on. Will, Luke, and Dustin looked bored. I was dragged into a changing room and began to try on the outfit Alexa picked out for me.
I looked at myself in the mirror and loved the outfit. It was a black off the shoulder top, black ripped jean shorts that faded down to white, a grey beanie, and black combat boots.
The next outfit was a black skirt, whit flimsy t-shirt, a leather jacket and the combat boots.
The third and final outfit had to be my favorite though. It was a blood red crop top, black ripped skinny jeans, the leather black jacket, and the combat boots.
I showed all the outfits to Alexa and she said I had to get every single one. So I payed for the outfits up front and waited outside on a bench with the guys for the rest of the girls to get done.
"Hey Raven. Find anything nice?" Luke asked when I walked up.
"Actually yes. I have 3 new outfits."
Will smiled at me and said, "did you have fun?"
"Totally" I said with a sarcastic voice and laughed. They all joined in with my laughing. I sat down in between Luke and Will and we chatted till the girls finally came out of the store with a bunch of bags.
"Great! I'm hungry! Let's go!" Luke said grabbing my bags and walking off towards the food shops. I just followed him as well as the others. No one was protesting because we were all pretty hungry. We walked into a pizza shop and sat down at a table.
"Hello, welcome to hank's pizza the finest pizza in town how may I serve you?" The waitress asked. She looked tired with her red hair in a messy bun and flour all over her outfit. "Hi! We would like to order 2 large pizzas. One will be half pepperoni and half cheese. The other will be yalls specialty pizza. And we would all like waters to drink" Luke said as the waitress quickly wrote down the order and left. We were sitting in a round booth and the order went Alexa, Kourt, Will, me, Luke, Dustin, Amanda.
Will turned to look at me and asked, "tell us about yourself Raven."
"Like what?" I asked confused that they actually wanted to know something about me. "Like anything. Fave color, food, sports, anything!" Luke said from my right.
"Well I like the color green and blue, I like angle hair pasta, i like soccer and basketball, I like to hike, and I love the beach just not the water."
Alexa smiled and said, "you should come with me to my grandparents condo in Maui. You would love it there!" I smiled back at her and nodded my head.
Amanda spoke up and said, "where are you from?"
I looked at her and said, "I actually don't know. I can't remember much before I was 8." They all looked at me with confused expressions, but I quickly asked "Well you all seem very close. Did you all grow up together?" Hoping this would change the conversation of my life.
Luke grinned and said, "not all of us. Zach, Alexa, me, Dustin, Christian and Hunter all grew up together. We met kourteney and amanda here in the 7th grade. They come from normal families."
"Who's Christian and Hunter?"
Alexa spoke, "Christian is my brother and Hunter is Lukes brother."
"So all of y'all have siblings except for Will and Dustin?" I asked curiously.
Will looked sad and said, "I had a sister."
"Had?"
"We lost her when she was 7. We were twins."
I looked at him with sadness in my eyes and said, "I'm so sorry Will."
Luke chimed in to lighten the mood, "yeah his sister was amazing! Just at 7 she could totally out wit us and beat us at anything. And she was one heck of a prankster."
Will laughed and said, "I still remember the time she put glitter in all the ceiling fans and put koolaid in the shower heads. Mom was so pissed, but dad and I thought it was hilarious that everyone had bright red hair and glitter was everywhere!"
We all laughed at this and the waitress brought everyone there drinks and the pizzas. I had fun at dinner and oh my God the pizza was sooo good! We finished our food and talked for forever when we finally decided to leave and it was dark outside. It was around 9:23 when we walked out of the store.
I looked over and saw Cameron and Zach watching us. They were sitting on a bench talking. "Hey Raven lets go to the ice cream parlor!"
"Sure" I said and was about to follow them when I felt like someone was watching me. Not one of the adults, but someone else. I turned to look down at the park where trees made the already darkness look darker. I noticed someone leaning against the tree looking into town. I began to panic when I realized it was a circle agent.
It was Jessica.
