Chapter Eight

In The Dark

Amanda's POV

It's been a week after the incident at the hotel, and everything has in the spy world has been shaken up. We had to inform the school that they had five traitors in their mist, who also worked for West. By the time we informed them, the five were already gone. Now, everybody in the spy world across the world is on red-alert looking for them. And the fact that West has made a reappearance is just making everything worse.

Elena, Erika, Kameryn, and I have avoided the boys at all costs since that night. Elena had filled me in on everything that had happened after I had passed out. How close the boys had come to finding out about our world. And we can't risk them knowing why we are here. It's too dangerous to our world and theirs.

That's why we have only watched from a distance. Kameryn is very good at camouflage, so she has been following them in the outside world. Erika has hacked into security cameras all across New York for us to watch the boys from our hotel room, as that is her skill.

Elena and I have been switching between assisting Kameryn and Erika, as our skills are the same as theirs. During this past week, we all have grown close. I have learned that Elena is an amazing gymnast, as is her brother. Kameryn gets nervous in large crowds, but if it is a one on one conversation, she is great to talk too. Erika's mother is the famous Madison Castriel, who trained Erika from a young age to be a spy. I feel like I have known those three all my life.

The boys still come knocking at the door, looking for us. We never answer and eventually they go away, just to reappear later on. Even then, we still don't answer the door. It pains me to have to turn them away, but its' for their safety. We have a mission to focus on.

Love. The one thing that is getting in the way of finishing this mission. We all have found ourselves falling for one of the boys. Like some cheesy romantic movie. Yet, in spite of this, we still found ourselves falling. I had fallen for James, something I had not planned.

That why I sit at a table in a mall, next to Elena, staring at James while he sings, instead of focusing on looking for any potential threats to the boys. The boys are singing 'Famous' and its James's solo part in the song. I watch his brown eyes pass right over me, and I freeze, yet feel my heart melt. The rest of the boys join in singing, and they are doing their dance moves that we had been watching them practice all week.

James's gaze lands on me, then the lights shut off, encasing all of us in total darkness.

Kendall's POV

We were in the middle of singing Famous when the lights go off. I can't see anything in front of me, but I hear the screams erupt all around. A dim light comes on, giving some light. James is at my side, pointing at something. Squinting, I can just make out two girls sitting at a table. Elena and Amanda.

Amanda gets up and bolts out of her chair, chasing after something, while Elena stays in place. Something runs up and knocks her over, and she doesn't get up. I jump off the stage and race towards her, pushing screaming fans out of the way. I reach her and someone is on top of her, punching her. I shove the person off her and pull her body towards me. Whoever was attacking her looks at me, but runs off.

I wrap my arms around Elena and hold her close to my body. I can feel her trembling body against mine.

"I got you." I whisper into her ear. "I got you."

Logan's POV

I'm still on the stage, clutching my microphone. I can barely see anything a foot in front of me, and fans are still screaming. As far as I can see, nobody is around me.

Then I'm tackled to the ground.

Some girl is on top of me. She has long curly hair and looks scary. She gives me a smirk before reaching into her pocket for something. I struggle to get out from underneath her, but with her free hands she pins one on my wrists to the ground. Finally she pulls a cloth out of her mouth and smiles a little when she my eyes widening.

She leans in really close by my ear. "See you soon, sweetie." The girl whispers before placing the cloth over my mouth and nose.

Then everything goes dark.

Janessa Manning's POV

I drag an unconscious Logan off the stage and towards an emergency exit. Vivian is waiting there, but I shove her away. "I can handle it!" I scream. Vivian backs away from me.

The night air is cold outside. I can see the black van we drove her all the way at the other end of the parking lot. Logan is too big for me to carry, so I drag him towards the van. I look up to see one of those idiot good girls racing towards me. I quickly place Logan on the ground and position myself to fight her.

The idiot good girl is Kameryn. She throws a punch and I quickly counterattack by grabbing her wrist and flipping her over. She hits the ground but quickly gets back up, throwing another punch. It hits me square in the jaw, knocking me to the ground. On the ground, I pull another cloth out of my pocket. Jumping up, I hold the cloth against Kameryn's mouth. She struggles against me for a moment, till she falls over towards me, unconscious.

Now I have two unconscious people on my hands. Great.

My task was to get Logan, but I can't leave Kameryn here. With her spy skills, she probably has remembered the license plates on my van.

So I take her too.

I put Logan in the back of the van first, tying his wrists behind his back, then his ankles. I do the same for Kameryn. I shut the door, hop in the drivers' seat, and ride off into the night.

Erika's POV

I put on the night vision goggles I had in my backpack in case of an emergency like this. Kameryn had left my side minutes ago, chasing after someone. Amanda is in the pursuit of someone else, and Kendall is safe with Elena somewhere.

Looking at the stage, I can see Logan isn't there, but James and Carlos still are. And there are three of the traitors approaching them from all sides. Astoria and Samantha are coming up on the right, while Vivian is coming up on the left side. Carlos's side.

I run as fast as I can towards the stage. Jumping forward, I tackle Vivian and throw a punch at her. She throws me off her, and runs off. Instead of giving her a chase, I race across the stage and begin to fight off Astoria and Samantha.

I drop to the ground and turn in a circle, tripping Astoria and Samantha. With an angry look, Samantha runs off, leaving me with Astoria.

"Get out of here before I really have to hurt you." Astoria says.

"Sure shrimp." I sneer.

Astoria pulls a knife out of her pocket and lunges at me with it. I grab her arm and bend it backwards. Astoria screams in pain and falls onto her knees, dropping her knife in the process.

"Stop!" Astoria screams.

I let go off her arm and shove her off the stage. I pull the scarf off from around my neck and tie her to a bar under the stage.

"You move and next time I break your arm." I warn before going back onto the stage. I grab Carlos's wrist and take off him the stage. I run out the emergency exit and shove Carlos into a bush outside the mall.

"Stay here." I say before going to turn on my heel, but Carlos grabs my wrist, spinning me back around.

"Why haven't you answered the door anytime I knock on it?" Carlos asked. I roll my eyes. "Are you really going to do this now?" I groan.

"Yes, we are." Carlos says, letting go of my wrist and crossing his arms across his chest. I take a step closer to him. We are so close that are noses could be touching.

"Carlos, there is so much I want to tell you. I really do. But I can't. I have to keep you safe, and by doing that is keeping you in the dark."

Next thing I know, Carlos has grabbed my shoulders and pulls me into a kiss.

We pull apart and I'm practically trembling. "Now, can you tell me?" Carlos asks, his brown eyes pleading.

I'm speechless. I shake my head back and forth, backing away from Carlos, who looks deeply hurt.

"Just…stay here." I say before running back into the mall.

I need to clear my head. The tears…I can feel them coming. Spies don't cry. I see Samantha on the stage and quickly chase after her.

And I take my feelings out on her.

Samantha Tyler's POV

I don't even notice what has hit me when I feel a fist come in contact with my jaw. It knocks me to the ground and sends blood splattering across the stage.

I feel another punch come in contact with my stomach. I press the button on my watch, signaling that I need help. But no beep sounds back, telling me backup is coming.

I try to push whoever is on me off of me, but I'm slammed back down against the stage. Another punch is thrown at me, and it hits me square in the face, causing me to cry out in pain.

"Get off!" I roar, shoving whoever is on me off. I stand up on shaky legs, spinning in a circle trying to find whoever my attacker was. I back up off the stage and towards the emergency exit.

The cold air greets me. I run out of the parking lot and towards the black van I took her with Ciri and Astoria. Ciri leans casually against the back door, almost has if she has been waiting for me.

"What did you do, act as a chew toy for a Chihuahua?" Ciri says with a smirk. I walk up to her and punch her across the face, sending her to the ground. Cupping her cheek, she looks up at me.

"Why didn't you come to my help?" I scream. "I signaled for it and everything!"

"I was busy." Ciri says, standing up. She flings open the back door of the truck to reveal James and one of the good girls, Amanda, unconscious and tied up.

"Now, are you going to apologize or I am going to have to make you?" Ciri threatens, getting in my face.

"Sorry." I say.

Feet come pounding from behind us. I turn to see Astoria running waving her hands to tell us to get into the van. We jump in, starting the van up. Astoria jumps in the back. Ciri speeds off, but I hear something hit the back of the van. Sticking my head out the window, I see Erika gripping the back door.

"Open the door!" I yell to Astoria. Astoria flings open the door, sending Erika flying out, the street rushing under her. I take off my shoe and throw it at her, hitting her dead center in the face. She loses her grip on the door and goes flying down to the pavement. Her body hits the ground and seems to bounce in the air, before finally hitting the ground and settling there. I pull my head back in the window and sit back in the seat.

It seemed like for the first time this week things were finally going our way.
