The Spy (One Direction) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9

PUBLISHED 2/24/15

Rider's POV

"Thinking is dangerous," I say. "I know from experience."

"Why is that?" she asks.

"Because, when you think enough, you start to see things that you shouldn't," I say.

"What do you mean?" she asks.

"How old are you, Lottie?" I ask.

"15," she says.

"You're only 15," I say. "You're only supposed to see the good in people. Not wonder what they're hiding and if you could decipher it."

"So, the closer you look at a person, the more you see," she says. "Sometimes even the things they've buried."

"You're a smart 15 year old," I say. "Now, don't think so much. Want to go watch TV?"

"I have the whole Pretty Little Liars series recorded on the VCR," she says. (A/N Not sure if they have PLL in the UK. I just like that series!)

"Perfect," I say.

She gets up. I follow her to the living room. We sit down and she starts pressing buttons. I see two adorable girls coming down the stairs. They're twins.

"Who are you?" one of them asks me, looking at me like I grew three heads.

"I'm Scarlett," I say. "Who are you?"

"I'm Daisy," says the ten year old.

"Phoebe," says the twin. "What Daisy meant, was who are you and why are you in our house?"

"I'm the sixth member of your brothers band," I say.

"You're pretty," says Daisy.

"Oh, well thanks," I say.

"Can you play with us?" asks Daisy.

"It depends," I say. "I was going to hang out with Lottie. If we all hang out together, it's Lottie's choice."

"Pwease, Lottie?" asks Daisy, giving her a puppy dog face, and pouty lips.

"Only, if we have a tea party," says Lottie. "And, we can be princesses."

"Always," says Phoebe.

"What are you waiting for?" I ask. "Go change girls."

"You have to change to, Scarlett," says Daisy.

"I'm 17," I say. "Do I have to?"

"Yes," demands Phoebe. "Go change."

I sigh in defeat. I go upstairs and go into my suitcase. I accidentally open my spy suitcase. I hear a gasp from beside me. I turn to see Lottie.

"It's not what it looks like," I say.

"Really?" she asks. "Because it looks like you're the one after my brothers band." She turns around, about to run out the door. I grab her arms. "Please don't kill me," she whimpers, closing her eyes, shuddering.

"Charlotte Elizabeth Tomlinson, look at me," I demand. She does. I pull my badge from my belt. "I'm Rider Elizabeth Tomlinson. I'm a spy. I'm here to save Louis and his friends from the people after his band."

"I'm sorry," she says, crying.

I hug her. "It's not your fault, Lottie. I would've thought the same thing," I say. "But you can't tell anyone. Your mom already knows. Do you want to go talk to her?"

"No," she says. "Just, please, keep Louis safe."

"Of course, Lottie," I say. "You want me to cancel the tea party?"

"No," she says. "Anyway, you're going to get to meet, Fizzy."

"Fizzy?" I ask.

"Ya," says Lottie. "The fourth sister."

"Ok," I say. I go into my bag, and get the most girlish clothing I have. A pink, skort, and a white top with ruffles. I go into the bathroom and put it on.

As soon as I walk out, Lottie hands me a purple feather boa, and a princess crown. I put on the accessories and follow Lottie to the bedroom. She knocks and Daisy opens it. She welcomes us in. I see another girl, who I presume is Fizzy, sitting at the table.

"Hi, I'm Fizzy," she says.

"Scarlett," I say. "I'm sure I look ridiculous. But, I couldn't help but get sucked in by their puppy dog eyes."

"That's how they get you," she says.

I chuckle and sit down. "Tea?" asks Daisy, all posh.

"Of course, princess," I say, copying her accent.

I sip my tea, until, I hear a window break.
