Path Of The Forgotten: Prologue
"Is this it?"
"Of course it is. Don't be so impatient, it's not very lady-like."
"I'm not impatient; I just can't stand waiting around for something to happen."
"Éclair that is being impatient…"
"Whatever Lumiere…"
She looked over to Éclair as she sat sulking on the nearby couch. It wasn't an uncommon site; Éclair often moped around while they were forced to wait. Usually, she found something to amuse herself, but in this current situation, that was near impossible.
"Lumiere, are you sure that nothing has come in, no reports or anything?"
"Yes Éclair," she said with a smile, her gentle voice drifting across the room. "I'm sure that Eclipse has not yet given us the 'go' signal. Don't worry, it will come, she hasn't let us down yet."
"That's true," Éclair added with a sigh adding several words under her breath. "Though she could be quicker about it."
She couldn't help but suppress a chuckle. For some reason Éclair never ceased to amuse her. Ever since the first time they met, Éclair had always been impatient and abrasive, perfectly un-lady like traits. Yet, she still retained a certain air about her, one of regal mystery. Conforming to her nature, Éclair would constantly complain about the timing of their third companion, Eclipse. She was more cautious, preferring not to rush into a situation she did not have some degree of control over. Such was the nature of constant arguments between Éclair and Eclipse, not that they didn't get along, it was just they didn't often agree…
"Come in. Éclair, Lumiere, do you copy?"
"We read you loud and clear Eclipse," she spoke into the small transmitter she held in her hand. Éclair grumbled some non-coherent gibberish behind her about "lazy" and "slow" Eclipse, but she paid it no mind.
"I have successfully infiltrated the compound. The outside security is taken care of; I will however require some assistance for the remaining guards, and of course the target. Over."
"Understood, we will be there as soon as we can. Stay put. Over."
"Roger that. The North Entrance is the safest for entry. Oh, and Éclair, try to make too much noise…Over and out."
The tiny transmitter buzzed as Eclipse cancelled her signal. She carefully pocketed the small device while looking over to a fairly agitated Éclair. Her eyes were narrowed and she thought she could see her temples twitching in anger.
"Oh, come now, you know she was just kidding."
"Oh really? Is that a fact?"
"Well," she replied in a clipped tone. "it isn't like you don't make fun of her for being slow…"
"Well her powers are supposed to make her faster!"
"See what I mean? Just forget about it Éclair, we have work to do anyway."
Éclair let out a dissatisfied sigh. Shrugging her shoulders, she walked toward the door, sliding her 45 into her utility belt. As she passed out of the sight, she called to her, and she elegantly raised herself from her seat and paced toward the doorway. They would have to be very cautious on this assignment and play their cards very carefully if they were going to survive.
When she reached the docking bay, Éclair had already seated herself in the pilot chair of the nearest combat ship. She was busily working the controls to start the engines of the small vessel when she entered the shotgun chair. This machine was old and unfit for their mission, but for the sake of discretion, this was their ship.
It's okay, she said silently to the tiny ship. I won't let you fall apart, just hang on and stay strong.
"Are you ready Lumiere?"
"Yes, of course."
Destiny's Quill- Alright, so this is my second story, and my first Kiddy Grade one. This is only the prologue, so don't start thinking I left out anything fantastic. If you have read my other story you will know it doesn't actually pick up until the first chapter. I really hope to get the first chapter up soon. Please R&R, thanks.
Disclaimer- I don't own Kiddy Grade and chances are my friend would but it first…
