Waltfeld's Daughter Chapter 7
"So you're Cadet Odette. I've heard your mobile suit piloting skills are excellent and your ability to launch a sneak attack is the best that we've seen in years. I'm not sure if I'm willing to put such a newbie on such a mission though. You're going to have to infiltrate the Earth Forces and act like a fledgling soldier," Odette's Commander answered.
"I'm confident that I'll be able to accomplish the task. I've had enough experience with naturals and my skills are much better than any of your other soldiers," Odette answered in her French accent. "Also, I'm from France, how many Coordinators do you know from France sir?"
"Your argument is convincing BUT, you lack real world experience," her commander sighed.
"Why act when I'm already a fledgling?" Odette asked with a gentle purr.
"Well true. Alright Cadet Odette…I'll give you this one chance. Don't disappoint me. If you succeed you'll advance through the ranks quickly," the commander answered. Odette tensed as she saluted before doing an about face. They don't even realize that I've already played the role of a new soldier, Odette thought walking down the hall. Walking past a mirror Odette cover her left eye with her hair. Amarante is the girl that can be easily read, Odette needs to be just as much of a mysterious as Odile in Swan Lake, Odette thought walking past her peers.
"Well well, it looks like we have little miss Cadet Odette with us this time," a familiar voice purred.
"Little Cadet Odette, the little girl who amazes us all at the tender age of sixteen," another voice called out to her. I know these two…It couldn't be! Odette thought turning around to see two twin boys, the Allen brothers.
Flashback
"Hey Wayne, it looks like we have an opera singer over here," a young black man snickered.
"What are you doing in that class my sweet little soprano," his brother cooed.
"Will you guys shut up for once?!" Amarante snapped.
"Oh but sweet little Desert Tiger!" the first boy cooed.
"How did you?!" Amarante gasp.
"Hey leave her alone!" Athrun demanded defensively.
"And we've been graced with the presence of Athrun Zala? Well isn't this an honor," Wayne gasped sarcastically.
"How did you know who I was?!" Athrun demanded.
"Did you think that you were the only one with ties to ZAFT?" Wayne asked.
"Wayne and William Allen, we were elite soldiers of ZAFT at one time," William cooed.
"Come on Mare," Athrun told her softly.
"Well we'll see you later sweet little soprano," Wayne called out.
"Mare why didn't you tell me that they were bothering you?" Athrun asked in a brotherly tone.
"Don't worry about it," she snapped.
"Mare, you know how worried I am about you," Athrun replied.
"You seemed surprised," Wayne cooed at the girl.
"I didn't expect to see someone like you," Odette muttered.
"Well you didn't expect the Commander to put you on the job by yourself?" Wayne answered.
"Come on, we're taking you to lunch!" William said grabbing on to her arm.
"WAIT!" Odette cried out. "There is still much I need to do!"
"Lunch, think of it as a covert spy mission!" William teased.
"I'm glad you decided to join little Cadet Odette," Wayne chuckled. "We need someone like you, especially with your background in singing!"
"You mean opera?" Odette asked.
"How long have you been doing it?" William asked.
"A little less than a year," Odette replied.
"How long have you been singing?" William asked.
"I thought you knew EVERYTHING about me," Odette said rolling her eyes.
"Of course we just need to confirm all the information that you give me," William answered in a deadly tone. Odette backed away with a shutter, what did these boys know about her?
"I've been singing for years…ever since I could remember really," Odette replied.
"With that sexy French accent?" William and Wayne asked in unison.
"Oh please, I'm not sexy," Odette answered.
"Well not yet…You need one more touch," William answered moving her bangs in front of her left eye. "Now you're sexy and beautiful."
"Excuse me," Odette growled.
"You'll need your seductive factor, and hiding your left eye gives you that alluring and mysterious persona," William purred. "We need to do a little more to your hair and your style so we can turn you into a vixen."
"Wait, what?!"
"You need to be a vixen to succeed in this field," William answered. "We'll make you into what you need to be." Can I really do this? I don't think I could ever pull this off successfully, Amarante thought.
"You know that he wouldn't send you here without references," Wayne replied.
"Let's not talk about him," Odette growled.
"Odette's been doing well. She's more beautiful than I thought," William thought.
"This is not French clothing," Odette growled. I think she's grown a few sizes since she started working here, Wayne thought staring at her breasts.
"But you're one hot and sexy little French flower," Wayne cooed stroking Odette's side.
"Touch my side again and I'll drop kick you," Odette snapped grabbing Wayne's collar.
"Damn you're hot," Wayne cooed. Odette gasped backing away from the boy.
"Why do you do this to me?" Odette asked.
"I'm glad that you let you do this to you," Wayne purred. Odette growled punching Wayne in the gut.
"You've been doing very well in the Earth Forces. They haven't suspected anything. Although you only have a desk job," William answered clearing his throat.
"I'm working with officers, isn't that more than enough?" Odette asked.
"Well yes and you've received some juicy information from them. BUT, we need you to get a little closer, sit in on one of the meetings and be a note taker," William replied.
"You know that is impossible!" Odette replied.
"With you and those ruby red lips…It won't be that hard," Wayne replied.
"Seriously you're beginning to creep me out," Odette said in a tone similar to Amarante.
"Really? I couldn't tell," Wayne replied rolling his eyes.
"Enough, you scared the girl out of her accent," William snapped.
"There's a captain that will be coming in for this upcoming meeting. See if you can get him to let you into the meeting," Wayne said softly. "Our Captain wants you to meet him today and help him around the base."
"What's his name?"
"I'm not exactly sure, I think his name is Neo…Roanoke. He's a mysterious one, no one really knows who he is," Wayne replied. "He should be coming in today."
"Well go off and do your thing my lady," William said placing a hand on her shoulder. The two boys scurried off leaving Odette in her civilian clothing. Well might as well get changed and meet this guy, Odette thought. She walked back to her room changing into the hideous pink uniform she loathed. Why pink?! Why did they have to wear pink?! Pink was the color of femininity but also of weakness. She pulled her hair back into a loose pony tail before letting out a sigh. Let's go meet this man, she thought.
Is this man ever going to show? Odette thought. She had been waiting at the space port for about three hours. Typical…These big shots love to be fashionably late, Odette thought with a grumble. About an hour later, she saw a man dressed in a black variation of the Earth Forces uniform with a few soldiers around him. Standing up from her chair, Odette approached the man. She stopped and saluted in the typical way of an Earth Forces soldier.
"So you're Crewman Odette Swan," Neo replied. Odette froze, Mu?! No…it couldn't be!
"Y-Yes sir," Odette replied.
"Is something wrong?" Neo asked. No, it's not him…his voice is too cold, Odette thought looking at every inch of the man. He did look a lot like him but he wore a scowl and had long hair. Mu was light-hearted and fun AND there would be no possibility that Mu would go back to the Earth Forces.
"Not at all sir," Odette replied firmly before becoming bubbly. "I'll be showing you around the base and I'll personally assist you with anything that you need."
"Good, I need some coffee after that long flight," Neo growled.
"Yes sir, what would you like sir?" Odette asked.
"Not now! When we get to the base," Neo answered continuing in his low growl. This isn't Mu…He would never be so heartless…so cruel…so harsh…especially to me, Odette thought.
"This way sir," Odette said continuing with her bubbly voice.
"I'M GOING TO GO CRAZY!" Odette snapped in the private presence of Wayne and William.
"What happened?" William asked.
"That man and his attitude! I can't continue being this bubbly sweet thing!" Odette groaned angrily.
"What have you found out?" Wayne asked.
"THANKS for the love and caring words," Odette snapped glaring at the boy across from her. William let out a sigh, rubbing Odette's back.
"Hey, just relax. Your payoff will be sweet. Just continue to be cute and bubbly. Please," William replied.
"I don't think I can take it. He's an ass," Odette answered.
"Yes you can. You dealt with your father. I'm positive you can deal with him," William replied.
"I don't think I can, and that's not funny," Odette snapped.
"Come on, you have to do your job," William replied. "I'll carry you like a little baby."
"I am NOT a baby…and I'm not YOUR baby," Odette replied with a smirk. William chuckled patting the young girl's head.
"That's the Swan we know," Wayne answered slapping the girl on the back. Odette glared at him before letting out a small smile.
"I'm glad that you guys are here," Odette said in Amarante's voice. "You guys remind me of my friends back at home." She through her arms around the boys switching back to a tone that she had finally become used to, "You're still horny bastards." The brothers laughed as they led her back to where Captain Roanoke was staying.
So…I've posted everything that I have…I hope you guys have liked what I've written. Hopefully since it's now on the internet…I'll go back and edit what I have. Like I said before, I've been super busy with college so I haven't been writing as much as I should. I have ideas for Odette and her new found friends and I think I'll probably make a time skip in the next chapter and then go back and do a lot of flashbacks to explain things.
