Bond Girl Summer

Fate: part one

The year was 2025. I had just finally started summer break from my online high school. I was feeling down in the dumps, as I still hadn't earned enough credits to graduate. And on top of that, I was having another Hidradenitis flare up. Which meant I couldn't go to the pool or let alone wear a tank top. Life was feeling pretty shitty. So, I decided I'd stay in my room all summer in misery. 

On top of that, my group home was trying to get me to not be in my room. But I didn't budge. I was comfy, just the way I was. I immediately decided to login to Prime Video and start binging the Bond films for the third time in a row. And not going to lie, I started feeling depressed. So, one night I just simply ran away from my group home.

I was stuck. And I had no clue whatsoever to do with my life. I had managed to run to the Circle K near the house. I didn't realize what would happen next, let alone care. I happened to notice two women standing a couple yards away, and they were talking. It was super dark, but the moon was bright. One of the women glanced at me and gestured for me to come over to her. I was anxious and refused. Knowing the group home probably had called the cops to come look for me. 

And then all I remember was someone grabbing me in the darkness, holding me yet covering my mouth. "I'm done for..." I thought. And then I blacked out.

Next thing I know, I'm sitting on the floor in a dark room. I am genuinely confused on what the hell is going on with me. A shadowy figure sits down on the floor next to me.

"Are you okay?" Says a voice that sounds familiar yet unfamiliar. Another shadowy person sits on the other side of me. "Paris, she's terrified. Should we leave her be?" Says another voice that sounds familiar but doesn't at the same time. "Where am I?! And who the hell are you guys?" I start exclaiming. What happens next felt like a surprise party gone horribly wrong.

One of the women sitting next to me turns on a flashlight she's holding to her face. And then I pinch myself to make sure I'm NOT hallucinating. It's my first female idol from Bond. Paris Carver. Then the woman sitting on the opposite side of me holds a candle in her hands, and I can see her face. I slap myself across the face to make sure again I'm NOT hallucinating! It's my second female idol, Solitaire.

I feel like passing out again but then they both say to me "you're safe here Anna. You're with us." Then Paris turns on the lamp on the little table on her side. And now I've realized that the IRL versions of my two favorite female characters have apparently come to rescue me. And then I smile at both of them and say, "Nice to meet you both!" And then the three of us come together for a group hug. 

Stammering, I start saying "Paris Carver?? I thought you died." And then she's like " That's not the case. And please for the love of God don't use that last name. I no longer want to be associated with that deranged news reporter." Then she smirks. Geez, Elliot Carver really must have mistreated her. 

Solitaire smiles at me and shows me a tarot card of The Empress. "Didn't you lose your ability when you and Bond made out?" I ask. "Oh, please Anna, in this universe that never happened." she says

"You're in our universe now. And we will take care of you." They both say.
