Chapter14: Falling
Kiera was in the gymnasium, making her workouts like usually.
She jumped through the traps and run under them, she jumped in the cold water from there; she took the hard path, through a tunnel. She holstered her guns, how lucky she was, that she had a mother like Lara, and killed the mini androids made by Zip, especially for her.
She jumped on a ledge and on another one, until she made five meters, where the ledges were disappearing, she entered in a sort of artificial temple, she stooped walking and gazed around, when suddenly she felt the floor moving, she looked down, but it was too late, she was falling down.
She launched her magnetic grapple and she was hanging above a hole in the ground she climbed on the magnetic grapple, and jumped safely far away from the hole.
Hearing sounds, she looked behind her, her friend, the robot, a new one, named AAI, or Advanced Artificial Intelligence and it was made with pure metal.
Kiera holstered her guns again and turned to face him, she stared to run to her point, a tiny and black memory stick, the robot stared to run after her.
Kiera: Will you stop? I don't think so, dumbass.
She started to shoot him, seeing it wouldn't give up, at the right moment, she started to shoot a pillar, which brooked down on the AAI. She walked to her stick, she took it, but when she came down, the robot got up and jumped on her, causing little injures too Kiera.
With an awesome force, Kiera, push off the robot with her legs, she rolled on the ground and hide behind a half destroyed wall, when suddenly she realized she runs out of bullets. It was time to use her powers, but she was spoiled and it won't work, so time to use a diversion.
The robot came at her when it wanted to attack Kiera; he stopped at the girl's gesture.
Kiera: Stop.
He didn't move, it wasn't very smart, even its names told that. Kiera put the stick in the robot's middle and it's stared to play music.
Kiera took it by his neck and grab it outside, in the tech room.
Zip: You brook another one? Alistair won't be happy.
Kiera: I'm a Lux Veritatis; he has to learn that it's not how he thinks it is.
Alistair: My God, Kiera! Another one?! What will say your mother?
Alistair came down.
Kiera: Nothing, the money is streaming on the tap for our family.
Kurtis: Kiera. Well done! But go and... You know...
Kiera: Ok, can I go out before that?
Kurtis: Yes, sure.
Kurtis smiled at his daughter seeing her going up stairs.
Alistair: Is that? You don't say anything to her?
Kurtis: No, why?
He looked at Alistair and Alistair froze seeing Kutis's blue ocean eyes, which were going through his soul.
Alistair: You know what? Let's leave this conversation.

Kiera was walking on the street; it was a bright day, very strange for London. Her opinion was that London looked better in gray colours than in the colourful ones.
And it was warm, that was strange too, usually it rains or the clouds are hiding the sun and its cold, but now, it was perfect, Kiera could see the flowers from her street blooming.
She was dressed in a white blouse on which was engraved ''your nightmare'' with big black bolded words and a pair of blue jeans, she was also wearing a blue beret that matched perfectly with her jeans.
She suddenly stopped, to see a woman with long red hair unpacking some things in a garden, looking closer through the fennecs; she realized the woman was Nick's mother. So she felt free to go to her and say hi.
She entered in the little garden of the little summer house, hmm... A summer house in London, this day was getting stranger and stranger.
Anastasia: Hello, Kiera! I haven't though you live near this house.
Kiera looked at the slim woman; she examined her from toe to head, she was really beautiful, her eyes were green like the emeralds, greenish than other green eyes.
Kiera: Hello. I didn't know you have a house here.
Anastasia: I think you are not searching for someone, then.
Kiera: Neah...
Anastasia: You are like your father.
Kiera: If you say so.
Anastasia: But, if you want to search, I'm sure you will find who you need.
Kiera: That's true.
The woman turned to her business.
Kiera walked into the house, it was a big house for a summer house, it was amazing inside how it was outside, walking through a set of stairs using her farsee ability, to find her not so old friend, she arrived at a door.
The door was half opened, she look inside, the same boy she met. But this time, he was on his telephone.
Kiera: Hey...
Nick: Kiera, how to you get here?
He rose up from the bed and came at her, she was shorter than him with a centimetre or two and her eyes were as amazing as he saw them last time.
Kiera: I live not far from here, I get here walking.
She crossed her arms.
Nick: Do you want to go for a walk?
He blush a little, he was a bit nervous, he really liked Kiera, but what were Kiera's thoughts? Did she like him or not? How knows?
Kiera: Sure, let's go.

Nick: Hihi, I never thought this could be real.
Kiera: It is from the narrow looks.
They started to laugh.
Nick: Sabrina is strange.
Kiera: You tell me?
Nick: Its looks, like yes.
Kiera: She is crazy.
Nick: So... What a huge house!
Kiera: Not as huge as the Heisstrum manor.
Nick: You have more houses than I have thought.
Kiera: Like you, My Lord!
Nick: Stop it you!
Kiera: Stop me, you!
Nick: Do you really, want to see, how you will shut up?
Kiera: Let's see what you gonahh...
He kissed the girl on her lips that were like the fire, burning, he putted the hands around her waist was hot too. He finished with the kiss and looked at her and she looked at him.
Nick: Did I shut up your mouth now?
He whispered.
Kiera: What did you do?
Said Kiera, just thinking at what happened earlier.
Nick: Kissed you... Kiera...
She looked at him with her dark eyes at his green one, and she could fell something and see his eyes unsecure.
Kiera: Do you love me?
She asked in a silent tone.
He looked at her, could he lie to her? She could read minds, he couldn't lie to her.
Nick: Y-ye-es...
He said in some way scared of what could happen. But Kiera smiled and looked at him.
Kiera: See ya...
She went in her house. Nick remained outside, preparing to go back home, he thought for a moment about the smile, that little smile and at the sweet taste of Kiera's mouth.
