I've been hiding for a while in my time. Not very brave but I Don't really care, I'm happy staying here helping with everything. Nick wants to go back but I keep stalling until I get a message from Nicole. "Ana, you have to come back, I'm in hiding and I won't be in public but I want you to come back, you might be able to make something strong enough to hide me from my mom. I'm not kidding when I say that she's really dangerous, and you have to come back now. So, come back ok? We all miss you." "She's here!" "Come soon, mother's here and she won't leave without me" The video blinks out the lest thing I see is a pair of red eyes behind Nicole. When I see the message I tell Nick and we prepare to leave.
When we get back to everyone else I see Bullet and Kata. waiting for us. "Nicole and Nate are gone. We found this," says Kata giving me a note. I've taken Kara and her friend, she's staying with me from now on. Don't find us, if you try you'll die -Kara's mom
I stare at the note. "Tell me exactly what happened," I say. We walk to Nicole apartment building, their's only rubble left. It only had a few stories but there where many people living there and no one was found alive. A new caster is talking now. "No one was found, no one knows how this happened, two of the residents are unaccounted for and have not been found anywhere. Nicole Deveel and her friend Nathan Demane are missing. Nicole and Nathan go to the local high school and students and teachers all say that she and her group of her friends were all strange and didn't associate with anyone outside of their group. Sophie an old friend on Nicole's agreed to talk with us. Sophie walks in and it looks like she's crying, but we all know she's faking it, she hates Nicole and Nicole hates her. "It's terrible that Nicole and Nate are gone, We used to be really close," she says sniffing. I look at Bullet and pretend to gag. She smirks. Kata starts yelling in Japanese at Sophie. She walks up to Sophie and everyone can tell that she's chewing her out even if we can't understand. Well, I can, but it's better left unsaid. Everyone stares and Kata just keeps yelling at Sophie, when she's done she takes a breath then starts yelling at the news lady. Someone tries to drag her away but she kicks them and keeps yelling and cursing at everyone. "Translation?" Asks Bullet. "How dare you talk about Nicole like you care about her, you've always hated her because she was crazy and because she is friends with Nate, you crazy people leave my friends to rest in peace' followed by cursing, a lot of cursing. Now she's cursing the news lady and everyone that works for her 'Leave right now! Before I kill you all! You'll all die if you don't leave this instant!' and there's her knife, should we intervein? Or let her handle it?" I say to Bullet. "Nah this will be awesome let's stay here, and if things get messy we jump in, tell her not to hurt anyone, in Japanese of course. We don't need further investigation," says Bullet. I tell her over our comlinks so that I don't draw attention to everyone. Kata now has her twin daggers and is still yelling bloody murder at anyone who dares come close. Nico taps me on the shoulder. "Need me to calm her down? Or what?" he asks. "Give it a few more minutes then step in, she's not going to hurt anyone but it will get media attention," I say. After a minute Nico steps in and starts trying to calm her down. Kata talks to him for a second still waving her daggers around. "What's happening?" asks Bullet. "She's still mad, and she wants to make an impression on Sophie before she leaves and Nico keeps saying no. A knife flies out of Kata's hand at Sophie and she screams. The knife just gives her a little cut and then Nico takes her arms and drags her towards us. Kata says one more thing as she passes Sophie. "I'll say hi to the Devil for you," Nico and Kata walk towards us. "Nico let me go, I just wanted to cause a scene," she grumbles. "You hurt Sophie so no," says Nico. "Come on! It was only a little cut just deep enough to scar but she won't die or anything," says Kata. "No," Says Nico firmly. I look on YouTube "Hey Kata you went Viral, someone posted a video titles 'Crazy Asian yells at people during an interview, translation anyone?' Congrats, you're a crazy Asian now," I say. "Eh I don't really care, I just wanted to freak people out and it worked," Kata shrugs. "Ow! Nico, what the heck? I can't get out of your grip you don't need to make it tighter," Kata says glaring at Nico. "You shouldn't have gone Viral Kata," Nico says. "What are we going to do about Nicole? Her mom did say we would die if we tried to find them," says Bullet. "I'll come up with something, we just need to wait, I'll make something to make us stronger, for now, let's just make sure people don't talk about Nicole and Nate but maybe no cutting people, even just small cuts," I say. "Fine, Nico! Come on! Let me go!" Kata says trying to break free. Nico doesn't look at her. "Hey look it's the Crazy Asian," says a guy to his friend. Kata turns red for a second. She twists out of Nico grip and pounces on the guy. "You wanna go?" She demands. This time Nick drags her off the guy "Come on that's enough intimidation and violence for one day," He says. We walk back with Kata trapped between us so she can't go ballistic on anyone else.
In school the next day more than a few people refer to Kata as the 'Crazy Asian' and we have to stop her from attacking. "She's crazy! Like really! This might scar! Why did she do that!" says Sophie. "Relax if you keep it clean you'll be fine, but yes it will scar," I say. Sophie and her friends stare at me. "You and your friends are crazy!" She accused. "Be glad you'll only get a scar we can do much worse, you haven't seen half of how terrifying we can be," I say opening and closing my fist. I go sit down with Nick. "Are they giving you any trouble?" He asks. "No, it's fine, I was just making sure that they know that we can make life so much worse, to bad Nicole isn't here, she's much better at putting fear in people than me, too bad she's not," I sigh. "We'll find them," says Nick smiling at me. I smile back then text him with my glasses.
You think I should keep pretending to be human?
For now yes, Maybe soon you should, the timeline says that there are more that are hiding and some are in this school
I'll wait, but I can't hide forever
I never expected you to hide for so long, Princess
During class I don't listen I start planning a way to help get Nicole and Nathan back. I only stop after fifth period when we're going to lunch. "Has she killed anyone yet?" I ask Nico. "No Kata's been pretty good, no shouting, maybe it's time to take it to the next step," says Nico. "You mean, the next step in the DA? We stopped doing that a few months ago," I ask making sure no one hears me. "Maybe we should," says Bullet. "Later, now we just need to focus on Nicole and Nathan. Those Humans will never find them," I say we walk into the cafeteria and get some food. Everyone is staring at us again. "Well look what the cat dragged in," Someone snickers. Kata tenses up. "I am going to kill someone if they don't shut up," she says through gritted teeth with a smile. Nico nudges her and she deflates a little. "Where do you think Ana got those clothes? Did she find them in a cat-infested Alley," says, someone. "I might just have to kill someone too if there are any more cat comments," I hiss. "No kidding I'm going to electrocute someone soon if I get too mad," says Bullet. Mike is next to Bullet. "Everything's gotten out of hand lately and with Nicole and Nate gone someone is going to explode, like a bomb with a broken stronger," says Mike. "Hey! Ana! Where did you find your boyfriend? An alley Or did he walk in front of a black cat?" someone calls. "That's it," I stand up and look for the person who made the comment. Some guys are snickering at the joke. I stalk over to them. "You got something to say to me? Or are you going to hide behind a poodle?" I growl. "Sure, if you're scared of poodles," says one of the boys. My fingers tense up and take a pouncing stance. "Ohh is someone going to show us their claws, oh wait, you where declawed." Nick put a hand on my shoulder. "Be careful Princess, not yet. it's too soon. Remember the timelines," He whispers. "Right, I forgot that I swore not to kill anyone just yet. You're lucky that I'm sparing you for now, because one day you will regret what you said," I say my hand is on the table and I rake my claws on the table before walking away. "Thanks, Nick, without you they would be dead and I would be caught. Now here I've found Nicole and Nate. I don't have a way to save them but knowing where they are is the first step," I say giving everyone a screenshot of their locations that I got. "Wow they're pretty close," says Bullet "But heavily fortified and it's going to be hard for us to get anywhere close," I say. The bell rings and everyone gets up to leave. "Talk later, right now I need to make sure I don't reveal myself and kill anyone," I say. In class, I look around where Nicole is and I research, no one has seen what is there and anyone who tries had diapered. There is an investigation on Nicole and Nate but the humans can't find anything. I growl in frustration, this will be even harder than faking my death and running away from my father and stopping Mavis combined and those were relatively easy because I played my cards right. "Is there something you would like to share with the class Ana?" asks the teacher, everyone is looking at me. I guess I was a little too loud. I take off my glasses. "Solve this problem Ana and I won't suspend you," says the teacher handing me a dry erase marker to solve the complex problem that is way to hard for anyone here but, it's rather simple what you have an I.Q As high as mine. I smile, "I would be delighted but the problem seems much too advanced for anyone here," I say getting up. I take the marker and solve the problem in two minutes in the most complex way then I do it again in a simpler way. "Wait, was I only supposed to solve it the hard way or the harder way?" I asked pretending to look confused. Everyone stares at me. I yawn. "Can I go now? This class is boring," I say making myself look extremely bored. "No! This is school damn it! You can't leave whatever you want!" says the teacher furious. I roll my eyes and sit back in my seat. I don't think the teacher will care if I told him that I've already graduated from Harvard online. I put my glasses back in and continue my research on Nicole and her kidnapping I also start brainstorming weapons to make. When class is done the teacher stops me from leaving. "When did you learn to solve that problem Ana?" he asks. I shrug and walk out ignoring him. Three days, in Three days I'll reveal myself as part cat and leave this place forever. I walk home with Nick as always. "Any progress?" He asks. "No, but I'm going in the right direction, the humans are clueless and don't know what happened to Nicole and Nate, useless," I say. We pass the rubble and I smirk. "What are you thinking? Don't do it, Ana," says Nick when she sees me smirk. "Oh I was just thinking, what if something happened to the meager bits of evidence they have, that would be such a tragedy! And who would ever be able to break into a police station anyway?" I ask Nick being really dramatic. "I thought you where done with stealing," says Nick. I smile "It's what I'm best at," I say holding Nick wallet and phone. He tries to snatch them back but I dance just out of his reach. He gets madder by the second. "Give me my stuff back!" he says out of breath. "Or what?" I taunt. Nick pounces on me and knocks me over and we fall to the ground together. Nick takes his phone and wallet back while I'm catching my breath. He knocked the wind out of me. "I'll get you for that," I wheeze trying to breath again. "I still know a few tricks, Ana," says Nick gloating. I get up glaring. I make modifications to my weapons and I work for hours. "Princess, we need to leave now," says Nick walking in. "Ugh! I thought that I had a few hours to sleep," I say getting up. "You stayed up all night again didn't you?" Says nick not looking the least surprised. "Maybe just a little?" I say.
In half an hour I'm walking with Nick. I yawn and my eyelids feel like boulders are trying to push them down and make me sleep. Nick pitches me and I jump awake. "Here I get you a coffee," Says Nick handing me a coffee that he got from a cafe while I was spaced out. I take it from him and drink the whole thing feeling more awake. "Remember when I stayed awake for a week straight purely on supper strong coffee?" I say laughing. Nick smiles "Yeah Sam and I had to do an intervention, if you could OD on coffee you would be dead," says Nick. I laugh "I had a deadline and it was hard to make in such little time," I say. Nick just raises his eyebrow. "Says the girl who graduated from Harvard at fifteen. You haven't done anything that I would say would put you under pressure," says Nick. "Yeah well after school I'll pop by the police station, you'll hear it on the news tonight, don't wait up," I say. "Wasn't going to, I'd get caught," says Nick. I punch him in the arm lightly. "Of course you would, that's why I said not to wait up," I say. When we get to school I wave at Bullet and everyone. Then I turn around to Nick and kick him in the gut and knock him to the ground. I knock the breath out of him then I take his phone and wallet. "That's for yesterday," I smirk. "I thought you forgot with your all-nighter," says Nick panting. "Not likely, now we're even," I say helping him up. "Where were you yesterday Ana?" says Bullet when she sees me. "What are you talking about?" I ask. "You may have been in your room all day, I didn't want to bug you," says Nick sheepishly. "Do you want to die?" I demand. "Eh, it was one day of school, besides it's not like I need it," I say shrugging. In school everyone stares at me, I know why and I know what I have to do next. Someone posted the picture of me with my ears and tail out, it's grainy and hard to make out but there is something their, it's just hard to tell what. I hear whispering all morning and I don't even think about it, I've prepared for today for a while. Nick gives me a look when I see him heading towards the cafeteria. I give him a sly smile and walk over to him. "Everything's gone as planned, this will be a piece of cake, come on," I say grabbing Nick's hand. "Of course they won't know everything just a little more about my DNA and what can be seen," I whisper. "Hey," says Bullet next to me. "Hey, you know about today right?" I ask. "Of course I do, also good luck with the police," says Bullet. "I don't need luck, I have skill," I say holding Bullets money. "How?! I didn't even see your hand move!" She says shocked. "Skill," I say giving her money back. When I walk in I sit with everyone and we start talking and joking around. "What is she?" Not human that's what," "She is freaky," I hear people whisper. "Nicole would make everyone have a heart attack, too bad she had to miss it. She would have loved today," says Kata. "Yeah, well I'll record it for her," I say Hitting the record button on my glasses. "Me too," says Bullet bringing out her phone. "Three, two, One," I whisper when I hear it, everyone hears it. "I knew she wasn't a human I mean look at her fashion sense ugh, not even a robot could have fashion sense that bad," "A robot would be able to get to school on time," someone else says. I ball my left hand slowly. "She is so a mutant freak," is the last comment before I narrow my eyes and turn around looking angry. Like I said, I practiced what to do. I stand up and walked headed to the door. "Coward must be part of its programming," someone says. I giggle that grows into an evil laugh, everyone stops talking. "You think I'm a robot? If I was a Robot I wouldn't be here, you humans really are stupid," I smirk turning around. "Then what are you?" says one of the guys I threatened two days ago say standing up. I laugh again and take off my glasses and look at him. My glasses make my eyes look human, they are really like cat eyes. People stare. "I guess I shouldn't pretend to be a human anymore, not like I could for much longer anyway," I sigh showing my ears and tail. Everyone stares at me. "And this is why I hide. Too bad I'm the first one to come out of hiding," I say looking around. "More? Of you! You're a freak!" says the guy shocked. "Do you mean that? You could be accusing your best friend of being a freak. Not very nice," I say shaking my head. One kid starts coughing and after a second a few people stand up glaring at their human friends. "And the revolution begins, I'll be around," I say sprinting away silently and fast, like a cat.
I'm at the door of the police station when I get an idea. I walk around until I find what I'm looking for: a Tifinys. I walk into the store and hack the power grid. While I'm looking at everything the lights turn off. I unlock the cases and take everything after I conceal everything I get back into place and turn the lights back on. People gasp when they see everything gone. "W-what happened?" I whisper. then the speakers come on. "This building is rigged to explode in thirty seconds I'll be taking, don't expect to see it again," Says a male voice, I'm the first to sprint to the door and out. Everyone freezes when they see me run out. I've hidden my ears and tail, it's what I say that makes them freeze. "The building is going to explode everyone get away!" I scream in 'terror.' Ithe building doesn't explode but their are dozezns of cops around waiting with guns, I slip away. I go to the station and break in now that they are all gone. I take all of the evidence from Nicole and Nate's case and leave everything I stole from Tifiniys in a box saying Looking for these? Return them, I don't care. It's the least I could do since I took something of yours you get something back. I leave and call the cops with a voice modifier "The building is fine don't worry that was just to make you leave the police station, you took something that I need, you'll find what you want in a box. Don't worry it won't explode," then I leave. I meet everyone in mine and Nicks apartment. "I got it all, and I did it with style," I say. "In fact, it should be on the news now," I say turning on the TV. Breaking news, today a suspected terrorist attack took an unexpected twist. I'm here at Tiffany's the store that was robbed. The lights went out and there was no sound but when they where turned on everything was gone, as you can see with this video footage. Shortly after police were dispatched, they got a call from the same person. When they returned after the building didn't explode they found a box with everything that was stolen, but the thief took the evidence from the missing persons case with two teens who are nowhere to be seen and suspected dead. Also in a high school a mile away a video has gone viral of a student who appears to not be fully human, her teachers say that she never paid attention in class but got straight A's and a few days prior to the video she was able to solve a problem way above her grade level two different ways that are both correct. Apparently, she left school after that, but before she left people started showing the same abnormalities that she had and thousands more are being reported and have been living among us for years, no one knows what to think. There will be more information tomorrow, for now, that's all good night everything. The screen goes black. "That was amazing, wish I could've been their to see it," says Bullet smailing. "Come on, there will no doubt be a witch hunt starting tomorrow for me, we need to leave, here, these will keep them off our trail," I say handing everyone a note. "If you want your child back you will never find them and don't bother looking. You will never find anything," reads Nico. "Will this convince anyone?" he asks. "Make it look like a break in and like you were dragged away, leave nothing," I say. Everyone nods and leaves. "Now we rescue Nicole," I say.
I know I know, this took forever but I've done it! Another chapter!!! I think it's really good but I don't know about you, tell me in the comments. It took me almost a week and I plan or writing A LOT more!
