A Little Game Called Cat and Mouse

So I have decided to do a sequel. It's currently unnamed, so if any of you have any suggestions for a title, let me know. And the traitors from this story will be in the sequel. I feel like the traitors don't have a lot of background, so I'm going to be going more in depth with them and more with the girls. The next chapter is the last chapter, too.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything or anyone from Big Time Rush. The girls belong to their creators. I only own the plot.

Chapter Thirteen

Nothing Is Ever Simple

Erika's POV

I walk down the hall of the building with Amanda at my side. Elena was with Kameryn, who was getting checked out to make sure she had no serious injuries. Amanda was supposed to be getting looked at, but she insisted she had something to do before she could be examined.

Vivian Gold, in handcuffs, is being guided out of the building. She gives me an evil glare as she walks by, and I just smile in return. She got what she deserved. Amanda walks into a room and I follow.

Astoria is pressed up against a wall, being patted down to make sure she has no other weapons on her. Amanda grabs a pair of handcuffs out of an agent's hands and slaps them on Astoria.

"Looks like Peter Pan isn't here to save you." Amanda says, ripping Astoria away from the wall.

"We'll all escape. You can't stop us." Astoria sneers. "Mr. West will escape and free us. Its only a matter of time."

"Then why hasn't West escaped yet? I thought he was the best."

Amanda gives Astoria a shove towards an agent. "Get her out of here. I never want to see her face again." The agent nods his head at Amanda and guides Astoria out of the room. Amanda leaves the room and I follow, wondering where she's going next.

"Amanda, you should really go get check out." I say as jog alongside Amanda to keep up with her.

"There's just one more thing I have to do." Amanda says, walking into another room.

Ciri is being untied from the chair that Elena tied her too. Amanda walks over and pulling a knife out of her pocket, cuts the rope keeping Ciri attached to the chair. Amanda grabs Ciri by the collar of her sweater and pulls her up.

"Don't give her handcuffs." Amanda says. "Just hog tie her like she did to all those poor animals she killed."

"They didn't feel anything." Ciri says a smirk on her face. "I didn't even give them a chance to scream."

"Yeah, and you didn't even give me a chance to scream as you sliced me up like a piece of meat. You're a fifthly disgusting creature who shouldn't even be allowed to be called a human." Amanda practically throws Ciri towards some of the agents in the room. And without another word, Amanda walks out of the room.

I chase after Amanda as she goes down the stairs. "Amanda!" I call out, my voice echoing off the walls. I hear Amanda stop and I catch up to her. "You need to get checked out." I say.

"I'm sorry Erika." Amanda blurts out.

"Sorry?" I ask.

"When we first met, I was so mean to you. Now, all I could think about when I was strapped to that chair was about you, Elena, Kameryn and the guys. And I thought about our first meeting. How I snapped at you. And I'm sorry for being so mean." Amanda trails off for a second, before taking a deep breathe. "You, Elena, and Kameryn are like my family now. Sure, all of us at the school are family, but I feel closer to you three. I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry about." I say. I pull Amanda into a hug.

We pull apart and I guide Amanda down the stairs and towards a doctor. As the doctor guides Amanda away from me, I take in Amanda's words. And she's right; Elena, Amanda, Kameryn, and I are family.

And I wouldn't change that for the world.

Amanda's POV

I walk down the silent hallways of St. Morris's. Every student is asleep, but I make my way towards Victor's office. My last journey down this hall seems to flash before my eyes as I make my way down the hall.

I'm different from the girl I was a few weeks ago. I feel like I have matured more. I have made friends that will last me a lifetime. I have found love with a boy that I never would have believed I could fall in love with. I have learned what being a spy means. How dangerous it is.

Shaking off my thoughts, I open the door to the headmaster's office. And just like on December 14th, there are four chairs set up. Elena, Erika, and Kameryn are already there, and Victor sits behind his desk. I take my seat, but this time, I give Elena, Erika, and Kameryn a smile and a wave.

"Girls, I could not be more proud of you." Victor begins. "Not only did you protect Big Time Rush, you also successfully took down Charles West, along with detecting five traitors in our mist. For successfully completing your mission and taking down West, the school has some offers for you. Whether you want to take them or not is completely your own individual choice."

"What kind of offers?" Elena questions.

"First off, you all have graduated." Victors says, and gets a surprised reaction from all of us. Despite this, he continues. "Now next year, you all may return as teachers. You all may teach a class on whatever you may like and are allowed to continue living in the school. If you don't not wish to do this, several of the government's top spies would like you four to accompany them on missions around the world."

"But what about the Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan?" Erika asks. "We all know that you know that we all have developed a romantic relationship with one of the boys. And we told them were spies. There's no punishment for that?"

"No, no there isn't. We have already questioned all the boys. They have agreed not to tell anybody about the spy world. Therefore, you all are allowed to continue dating them."

I can't believe what Victor is saying. I've graduated from St. Morris's, can continue to live at the school or go around the world, and still date James. It seems too good to be true.

"It can't be that simple." I blurt out. "You're just going to let us date them, even though they know all about our world?"

"Yes, Amanda, it is that simple. I need an answer about what you girls will be doing by Sunday, and since today is Wednesday, that gives you five days to decide. Goodnight girls, and once again, congratulations."

Elena, Erika, Kameryn, and I all thank Victor and exit his office, walking in silence down the hall.

"We need to talk about this." Elena says, saying what is on all of our minds.

"Let's go to the girls' lounge." I suggest. We head off in the direction of the girls' lounge.

The girls' lounge isn't too fancy, but not too plain. It has several couches and chairs, along with a writing desk, and three bookcases overflowing with books. The fireplace crackles and spits out some ash as we each take a seat somewhere. Elena curls up into a chair, I lay down on a couch, Kameryn sits in front of the fireplace, and Erika sits on the floor in front of the couch I'm laying on. We each sit in silence, staring at the fire that casts a glow on all our faces'.

"What do we do?" I whisper. "Our world is too dangerous for the boys."

"But our world has collided with theirs, creating one massive world where we are being given the chance to live together." Kameryn says.

"And what happens when that world begins to separate into the two worlds we each came from?" Elena questions. "Can we risk that?"

"But how is that one world going to separate?" Erika asks.

"By our hands." I declare. "The only thing holding that one world together is us. We control the seams, and if we let go, the one world separates into the two safe ones."

"This is our choice." Kameryn says. "Keep this one world, or separate them."

"And go back to the way things were before we met the guys?" Erika says. "Do we really want that?"

"We need to do what's best for the guys." Elena says.

"Yeah, and we need to do what's best for us too." I say.

"So, what's it going to be?" Kameryn asks.

We debate for several more hours, before finally coming to down an answer.
