I know, I know It has been ages since I last published. I got so much stuff I never get a break. I liltery pulled an all nighter (not really it's only four in the morning when I'm typing this.) to get this out. I will try to get the Last two Chapters in this story out by christmas. I also see that someone said I was dead... I have no comment to this. Anyway guys it has been far, far too long so I won't keep you reading my thoughts. Till the end. HAHAHA.
A New Life.
Chapter: 12 It been so long.
Time comes and goes, but we will never forget these memories we create then, now, and forever.
Vanessa's POV
We run along rooftops not stopping for anything. "We are almost there." Jackie says.
"I can't believe she was under my nose this whole time." We jump onto a power line and began running on it.
"Best place to hide is close. You brought the book to use as a distraction right?" We jump off the lines and onto a roof with the tower in the distance.
"Yeah I made sure to bring it." We stop for a quick second, so I take the Thievius Raccoonus out of my backpack to show her it quick, and put it back in the pack. We run some more making it to the tower. "We're here." My heart races, as my breathing quickens. I'm so close, so close to seeing her again.
Jackie puts her hand on my back. "It's ok calm down. It will be over soon enough."
I try to listen, but my heart still wants to escape my chest. "What would be the best way in?" I look at her.
"She is on the fourth floor, so the best place to enter would be the fifth floor." She points to a window high up above us.
"OK then let's start climbing." After a few minutes we reach the the fifth floor. I peak through the window. It looks pretty empty, no security whatsoever. "Are you sure that she is here?" I look at Jackie opposite of me.
"Of Course, who else do you think took that picture?" She assures me. "Now watch and learn." she pulls out a weird gadget from her pocket.
"What's it supposed to do?" She puts it against the bottom of the window where the lock would be on the other side, and turns it.
Clunk. A noise from the other side of the window came after her twist. "It opens metal locks from our side." She says as she gently pushes the window open. We softly climb in and begin making our way around the dark corridors our only light being from the moon shining through the windows. I glance out of one of the windows across and one floor down to see a figure sitting on the ground. Time seemed to stop
Is, is it you Lizzy. I keep staring. Have I finally found you? Click, Click. I look forward to jackie snapping her fingers.
"We need to hurry, before we are caught." She whispers.
Dund da dunda da. (A/N. Sorry I have been playing Sly 2. I love the sneaking music.) THUD, THUD! The sound of heavy boots above going in the opposite direction stops us, but only for a moment. Wow whoever, or whatever is making that noise sure doesn't mind if they are heard. "Jackie what was that?" She shrugs her shoulders. We approach a stairwell very cautiously careful not to cause too any noise on the metal landing. "Where do we go from here?"
"Down one floor and down the next hallway." I nod. She creeps down the steps. I jump on the railing then silently hop down to the next. Jackie looks at me with the biggest Really face you can think of. Well it was faster than your way. After she catches up to me we start walking down the next hallway. As we approach the middle where there is an intersection to another hallway a bright light appears. Thumb, Thumb. I dive underneath a nearby table. I don't know what Jackie did It was more reaction on my part. The cause of the disturbance comes around the corner. The flashlight shines at my table and the feet of the figure holding the torch stop just inches away.. Growl!
My heart sinks. Don't tell me I got, I am so close. Muffled gasp, BANG! The flashlight hits the floor. Bang, the knees of the figure hit the floor.
What's going on? Bam, the face of a wildebeest hits the floor last. I crawl out from underneath the table to see Jackie wiping her hands on her unconscious victim. I just star at her.
"What I didn't kill him just choked him out." I look down to see the wildebeest's back was rising and it breaths. "Be more careful I know you want to get this done and over with, but you got to be more careful." I look at her in confusion. "Some of your staff was poking out."
I look at the staff I really need to get used to hiding with this thing.
"Anyhow we are close to her." We leave the sleeping guard on the floor and continue down the dark hallway. Here she points to a door near the end of the hall. We approach it, and I notice it is made metal with a metal frame. "So no kicking this one in." I take my lock picking set out of my pocket and began one, by one lifting the lock's pins. Jackie stands guard behind me.
Clink, Clank. I unlock the only thing left standing between Elizabeth. I place my hand on the handle, but I freeze. Will she know me? She has to I am her only sister. I hope she forgives me for taking so long to finally free her. I slowly pull the handle down, and push the door. My eyes light up. Slouching against the wall there she was. Tears begin flowing down my cheeks. I rush over to her and hug my newly found sister. Lizzy eyes slowly open her soft brown eyes gaze upon me for the first time in so long.
"Vanessa?" She says softly. "Is it really my sister?"
"Yes! Yes! It's Nessa." I embrace her in the tightest hug possible. We release and gaze at each other both of our eyes seep tears of joy. "I missed yous so much. I wish I never told you to go out that night."
"It's ok you are here now. I am so happy." She stands up, and looks at the sky. "I knew if I believed enough she would find me. Thank you stars. He gaze shifts to the door and her expression changed from cheerful to deathly afraid. "Why, why are you here." She cowers.
"Well I wanted to see the family reunion before I take my rightful place in this family." I look back to see Jackie is the only one standing in the doorway. The only problem was that wasn't the voice of Jackie.
Well looks like we finally found Lizzy. Yay! Sister love is real.
