Chapter 3
It was night. The pale white moon was still as it watched a small figure clad in black clothing leap from housetop to housetop with great agility. It huffed as it landed at the last house in the street row. Getting back up it patrolled the area and looked around with keen glowing eyes. A faint light hung around it and gave it a slight glow. It seemed to float on its light feet, and walked with barely a sound. With its glowing eyes it stared longingly into the distance. With a small sigh it turned around and jumped off of the rooftop. It landed without a sound. Suddenly it heard a noise. Turning around so quickly it looked like a blur; it stood in front of its would-be attacker with hands up-raised and glowing with power. And then laughed. Realizing it had only a mouse it smiled. But it seemed to have decided that it was time to go anyway. Looking at the faint light that was creeping up the horizon, eating at the velvet sky, it took a final glance at the silvery moon before walking away. Stepping into the shadows, a flash of light illuminated the darkness for a moment, before a completely different figure stepped back out. Shaking its shiny black hair, it looked around, shivered, and disappeared into the tendrils of night that slowly, slowly, wrapped it up till it was gone from sight.
"Wake up!"
"Gahh!"
With a large exclamation both Sophie and Danny fell from their sleeping places, as their female friends glared at them in annoyance. Both of the dazed teens looked around in confusion, before remembering that they had fallen asleep in the factory last night.
"What took you so long to get up?" asked an irritated Sam.
"It's like, ten to eleven!" Added Sandra.
"Have you forgotten that we're in some random run-down factory, when our parents are probably worried sick?"
"We have no food, water or money to get us through the day-"
"What did you do last night to wake up this late?-"
"-We'll probably starve to death if we don't do something quick-"
"-and you just had to have us run here didn't you?"
"I can think of at least 50 different names for you right now! Would you like to hear some?"
"-The stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life-"
"-Irresponsible, immature, rash-"
"-what, were you thinking last night when you followed these three to this random alley way into an unknown building-"
"-Off the handle, out of your mind, crazy!-"
"-I can't believe you Danny Fenton!-"
"-Empty-headed, idiotic, just plain stupid-"
"All right all right we get it!" Danny exploded, in the middle of the long-winded abusive speech. He raised a hand when the other two looked as if they had somehow found even more ways to describe them, but stalled them and said, "Look, if what your saying is true, then shouldn't we start moving and get out of this dump?"
"Yeah. Then when we get home, you guys can chew us out with the comfort of your favorite PJ's." added Sophie with a sullen look.
With a final glare, the two hot-headed girls nodded briskly and started getting ready to go.
"Aw, is the show over?" asked the brown haired boy, who was stretching from his sleeping place on the boxes.
"Dang, I was just starting to enjoy it too." Said Tucker with a grin.
Pinning them with a double glare the two harassed teens growled "Shut up."
"Aww or what? Will you go-"Then as if realizing what they were about to say both boys clamped their mouths shut and hoped that the other hadn't noticed.
The tension in the room measurably increased after that slip-up. All four people shuffled their feet, and stared at the ground, not wanting to ask what the other had meant, for fear that their own secret would be revealed.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get ready!" shouted Sam, who had seemed to just materialize next to them, making everyone jump.
"Ye-yes m-mam." Stammered all of them as they were watched coldly by her amethyst purple eyes.
Soon all six of them were ready and eager to go.
"Oh, by the way what's your name? We know all of yours except you." Asked Tucker to the Shaggy brown-haired boy.
Smiling, the boy answered, "My name's Tony."
"Cool. Nice to meet you Tony." Danny said as Tucker did the same.
"You know it's nice to just hang out with guys like this." Said Tony as he lounged back with Tucker and Danny. "Lately my life has been just a little bit too controlled by, certain females I should mention." He finished as he stared pointedly at Sophie and Sandra.
"Quit your whining", was the only reaction that he got from them. Raising his eyebrows as if saying "See!" they all started cracking up.
"Can we even start to understand teenage boys?" asked Sandra to the other girls.
"I don't think anyone has." Replied Sam.
"Then why try?" shrugged Sophie.
And together the three girls had a private giggle together.
The boys just stared.
LATER…
They had finally made it home. After a day of walking together and talking they had really gotten to know each other. The gang stopped as they made it to Danny's neighborhood.
"So where do you live?" asked Sam as they all said their good-byes to Danny.
The effect was immediate. Suddenly changing form the confident smart-minded girl that she had gotten to know, Sandra reverted to the stammering terrified girl that they had first met her as.
"W-we-we we're n-new-new her." She managed to choke out.
"You didn't say where you lived though." Danny said, his suspicions roused.
As Sandra began to stutter again, Sophie cut through her speech smoothly and said, "We were actually doing what I had told you in the first place. We were just passing through. Our school had been having a special field trip and we booked rooms in Amity Park. We happened to get lost though and had gone to your school for help. We should actually get going now." She finished concisely and gave her friends a hard stare.
Sam, Tucker and Danny stared at her in utter shock. This was not the girl who had just been joking around about how she wasn't sure which was worse: being in a room with a teenage boy, or being in a room with a rampaging rhino. Neither was this the reckless tough girl who had socked Dash in the face. She was someone totally different. This girl was as deadly, beautiful and cold as ice on a winter morning. This girl could hurt someone more than the tough outgoing Sophie ever could. She was deadly.
But then she was gone. In its place the familiar fiery Sophie thawed out the icy exterior. But she still remained cold as they smiled pleasantly and walked away. And as they walked away, the three left behind, stared in confusion at their backs. The mysterious three had become even more mysterious. And the aura that Sophie had just given out at the moment? It had thrummed with power and demanded attention. Suddenly Sam made a small noise. The two boys looked at her in concern, which turned into disbelief when they saw what she did. Just for a moment, they thought they had seen an emblem flicker across the backs of the trio. It was shaped as a slanted S. It stayed there, flickering, for a moment, and then disappeared. After a shocked silence, Tucker voiced the question that they were all wondering.
"Who are they?"
…I should be crowned the cliffhanger queen.
