I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then You'd Slap Me

Abbey Bominable's job was hard. As for being a successful spy in her agency, she would make friends only for them to die the next day. But when she is looking for a new assistant, will she gain more than a raise in her pay? Rated T because of mild language and depression. R&R!

6. Alive?

Abbey opened her eyes, sitting up slowly. Was she still alive?

"Hello? Heath? Blue? Anybody?" All she could hear was her own voice. She seemed to be all alone.

"Hello." Wait, did she get a response?

"Who is this?"

"Toralei, Toralei Stripe. I assume you understand that you weren't the only one who broke the rules of time travel."

Looking up to see her enemy, Abbey narrowed her eyes. "You are like little baby yak. Always have to follow someone. Why are you here?"

Toralei laughed. "Same reason as you. I got killed by your, erm, friend, if you will."

Abbey crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow. "What? You think there is something between me and him? Is all gone. Have realized will never work."

"So you've finally met reality, hmmm? Anyways, we are both technically alive. It's just the fact that were stuck in an unknown time continuum that doesn't help. Lucky for you, I know my way out of here."

"How should I trust you?"

"Because you're not getting out of here otherwise. Plus, I've been here before."

Abbey placed a hand on her hip. "And how does it make you in charge?"

Toralei shrugged. "It doesn't. I just assumed it."

Abbey crossed her arms, cursing under her breath. "You are the plain annoying. If cannot get us out of here in fifteen minutes, am swearing that will kick you where it hurts."

"Like you have the guts to do that. Why, hell, you freaking waited for three months to tell that stupid idiot you liked him! And, by the way, if you actually WANT to get out of here, I'd at least wait until we got to our original time continuum to insult me."

"Whatever. Just get us out here so can get away from you."

"No need to be a bitch about it. Why don't we just act like we're best buddies until we get out of here? Just, you know, act like we don't hate each other?"

Abbey raised an eyebrow at Toralei's childish question. "Fine. But you start the conversation."

"Ummm . . . okay, so, why exactly did you decide to join the agency in the first place?"

"Wanted to get away from the useless flirting of the boys and the endless drama of the ghouls. Did not fit in anyways."

"Wait, wait, shut up for a second. I'm trying to concentrate."

"And where exactly is that going to get us?"

Toralei glanced at Abbey, a small smile spreading across her face.

"Home."
