Chapter 7

She leaned forward, her lips slightly touched his, and she felt a sudden bliss. He moved closer to her, putting his arm around her waist and pulling her even closer to him, now in full body contact. She felt the heat from his body and couldn't help but moan.

But lack of experience cause her to run out of air quickly though, so she had to push him away to get some air. She blushed because of her inexperience, and looked down on her hands.

'Play it cool,' she thought, and felt a new sudden energy take over her body.

"There... Kiss... Lips," was all she could manage to say, still a bit breathe taken of this kind of weird situation. Five minutes ago, she would have laughed if anybody had told that she would kiss a Techno and actually enjoy it.

'Wait! Did I enjoy that?' she wondered, a bit confused. But then again, if she hadn't enjoyed it, would she have felt that sudden bliss then? No, the kiss was actually perfect. It was wonderful. And right now she couldn't stop thinking that Ved was wonderful, in his own peculiar way.

"You call that a kiss?" asked Ved, smirking. Then he pulled her closer again, even closer than before, and then he kissed her. He pressed his lips to hers for a few seconds, before he started to run his tongue slowly across her bottom lip, asking for permission to enter her mouth.

She moaned because of the feeling, and opened her mouth slightly, giving his tongue access to her mouth. She felt liked she would explode of happiness when she finally dared to kiss him back with the same force. Their tongues battled a few seconds, before she surrendered and followed the pace he wanted.

"Now, that's a kiss," he said, grinning. They had used the last couple of minutes making out, every single thought of Ebony and the meeting forgotten.

"Ved?" yelled Jay, knocking on the door.

Cloe suddenly remembered where she had to be, and she started to panic. What would Ebony say? Damn!

Jay entered the room, without permission from Ved, causing him to be a bit grumpy when Jay asked why he wasn't answering the door.

"None of your business!" sneered Ved.

Jay just rolled his eyes at Ved's behavior, and turned to Cloe.

"So, Cloe, I take it that you never went to see Ebony? You do know that you should have been there, oh what to say, one hour ago," said Jay, looking at his watch.

'Since when do people use watches again,' thought Cloe, but shrugged it off.

"Is she mad?"

Jay nodded, and said, "Why don't I take you to meet her now? I'm sure that if I explain that you got lost, she will forgive you and the meeting can start."

"Fine," nodded Cloe, and looked at Ved – who was scowling at his brother – before she followed Jay out of his brother's room.

They walked down the hallway, and turned left, then right, then upstairs, then down at another stair? Cloe stopped looking where she walked and just followed Jay. All this going up and down stairs had confused her, so why try to remember where the evil... where Ebony's room was?

"Well hello."

Cloe whirled around and came face to face with two Ebony look-a-likes.

"Who are you?" she asked, feeling somewhat trapped. Was she really short, or was everyone else just abnormally high?

"I'm Siva," said the shorter of the two girls.

"And I'm Java," said the other girl, smirking.

"I'm..." she was interrupted before she got a chance to say her name.

"You're late!"

Ebony. Cloe looked at Ebony, then at the other girls. Yup, they were definitely relatives.

"Follow me," growled Ebony, and Cloe was gently pushed forward by Jay.

"Why didn't you show up when we clearly had an agreement?" snapped the brown-haired girl, narrowing her eyes to small slits. The door was closed and Cloe had nowhere to escape.

"Look! I got lost okay! Don't freak out on me!" she scowled , feeling oddly confident. Maybe it was because she knew Ebony wouldn't hurt her as long as Jay was still in the room.

"I found Cloe in... I found her wandering the hallways. I followed her here."

Why hadn't he told Ebony about Ved?

"Hmpf! Well, since you're here we better get started."

Cloe nodded, waiting for the older girl to continue.

"As you already know, you'll be trained by Ved. When I feel you're ready you will be sent back to the mall, where you'll spy. You will report back to me every second day, and I mean every second day!"

"Yeah, yeah," mumbled Cloe, wincing when Ebony raised her voice.

"Good. I think that's all," said Ebony, waving both Cloe and Jay towards the door.

"Okay then. I'll follow you back to your room." Cloe smiled at Jay, glad that he was there to help her out.

"Oh wait, Cloe a moment?"

Cloe looked at Jay confused, who in return just smiled and nodded.

Cloe stayed behind when Jay left, wishing she hadn't scowled at Ebony. The door closed yet again, but this time she was truly alone. Trapped.

"Yeah?" asked Cloe.

"Here are your new orders. You'll be trained by Ved. When I feel you're ready you will be sent back to the mall, where you'll spy. You will report back to me every second day. But, you'll also report to me every second day on how your training is going. And if... Ved, should spill some secrets, don't hesitate to tell me all about it. Okay?"

"What? You want me to spy on both the Mall Rats and the Technos?" Cloe gasped in disbelief.

"Spy? I wouldn't exactly call it spying. More like, keeping your eyes and ears open. Shouldn't be that hard for you."

"But why?"

"Well, you never can be sure about who the real enemy is, now can you? Maybe you are the real enemy? Maybe the Mall Rats are the biggest threat, or maybe the Technos are planning something behind my back? I don't know." Ebony shrugged at this, looking as thought this was all just a joke.

"But... But... If you think I'm the enemy, why do you trust me then?"

"Well, lets just say that I don't trust you. But, I need someone to get through with this plan. And you are perfect for that job."

"Perfect? How?"

"Well, a few days ago you wanted nothing more than die. You don't trust that many people, and neither do I. But, I promise that if you help me, I'll help you find what you're looking for."

Cloe looked at Ebony's outstretched hand, nodding before she gently shook it.

"You've got yourself a deal."

Ebony smirked.
