Knight In Distress

14

I dropped my bag on the floor and went over to my computer.

This day has been very stressful and I just need a distraction. This whole situation with Luke has been in my head all week. I don't know if I did something wrong. I really do like him and he claims that he feels the same way, yet why was he acting this way?

I set up the speakers that were connected to the microchip and plugged in my headset. I turned the device on and waited. A few moments later, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. The door opened.

I straightened up in my seat.

"Believe me, Cal. I do not like her! Can you imagine me falling for a girl? That will never happen." Luke said and I heard someone jump into bed.

"I know you, Luke. You like her. You just don't want to admit it. You think that liking a girl is for the weak. Just give her a chance, will ya? I'm sure she likes you." Calum said.

"No! I do not." Luke argued. "Adrianne is just some girl who happens to always be there when I'm most vulnerable. I'm sure she just feels sorry for me, that's why she's with us. We aren't even friends, for all I know!"

I felt the corners of my eyes moist and tears started to form. Did he just lie about our friendship? How could I have been so blind? He has been leading me on. I'm so stupid!

"She's sticking with us for you! You're just too busy being a jerk to notice that. She glances up at you everytime with this spark in her eyes and this bright smile like she's seeing an angel! If you tried, you would see how just seeing you pass by brightens up her day. But no! You've been nothing but a jerk to her and she doesn't deserve that, Luke! You don't deserve her!" Calum argued.

Luke let out a bitter laugh. "Oh, believe me. She's just sticking with us because she doesn't have friends. She made one friend and she ended up getting betrayed! Her friend left her with that jerk and almost got harassed!"

Kate betrayed me to Jacob? How could she? But I didn't have it in me to be mad at her because I was too busy being hurt by everything that Luke was saying.

"And you're any different? You've been leading her on! She thinks you're her friend and you think otherwise. Why are you doing this, Luke? You've been long gone since Leish, thinking no girl would ever replace her. And now that a girl comes along you decide to be a jerk! She's the only one at our school who sees you for you! Not some rich badass who wants to get laid!"

"Don't you dare bring Leish into this conversation! And since when were you the love expert? Last time I checked, you never got the girl!" Luke shot back.

"Fine. Have it your way. I'm sure you won't mind me making a move on her, then." I heard the door shut.

I tore the headset from ears and put my head in my hands.

I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my cheeks. I trusted Luke. But that was a bad decision. He was the first friend I had made. But he doesn't know that. He wouldn't know. He wouldn't know how important he was to me. How he tore me apart. He led me on. I thought we had something, but no. I guess everyone just has a different side that nobody else sees.

I need to start opening my eyes and view things differently. I should never have gotten attached. I shouldn't have let myself fall. I've been hurt too much in this world.

What did I ever do to deserve this? Last time I checked, I never did anything but save the world and fight for people who don't even know who I am. Why was I doing this? Because I don't want people to go through what I had. I don't want them to suffer the way I did.

I wiped my tears away and straightened up. Luke had hurt me and betrayed me. Well guess what, two can play that game.

"The plan is simple. Find Victoria and kill her. Gather any information you might find, but remember, that is not your priority. Good luck." William signed off.

"Let's get going." James said.

I checked myself in the mirror one last time. My dark hair was pulled back into a dutch braid that went down my back. My black suit was made specially for me. It covered every inch of my skin except for my face. My belt was already packed with knives and guns.

I tried my best to keep my mind off of Luke. What he said really hurt but I won't let that get me down. Instead, I focused on getting this mission done. This is what I love to do and nothing will stop me.

I got out of the car and followed James to the building. It was already close to midnight and half of the city was asleep. The building was dimly lit. A few guards stood near the entrance. The parking lot, despite the time, was full. All of the cars were black, and so was ours.

James led the way to the side of the building where it was clear. He reached out to the vent and pulled it open. He motioned for me to go in.

"Follow the elevator to the 38th floor. I'll come in through the entrance. Wait for five minutes before you go in the room at the end of the hallway. Be aware of the cameras. I'll meet you there." James ordered before shutting me in the vent.

"Adrianne! To your right!" James screamed at me from across the room.

I swiftly moved to the left, dodging the blow and I stabbed the guard's torso with my dagger. He dropped to his knees, with blood pooling out his middle.

That was a close one. I need to keep myself focused. One wrong move can cost me my life.

I looked around to see Victoria standing in the middle of the room and I ran towards her. I kicked and slashed at anyone who would get in my way. Energy and power surged through me as I fought and I felt great.

I am an independent girl; why had I let Luke get the best of me? Boys are stupid and pointless. I should have just focused on my job and that alone. It wasn't part of the mission to fall for a boy.

Victoria's back was facing me and I took the opportunity to drive my knife through her side. But as quick as lightning, she side stepped and turned around, revealing a blade in hand. She slashed towards mr and cut me in the arm, leaving me gasping in pain and clutching my arm.

"Foolish, girl. Did you think it would be that easy?" She purred.

I dropped to my knees and remained silent. Pain. Pain was all I could think about. Blood was all over my hands and the floor. My suit had been cut open.

I my eyes trailed down to the blood and I felt dizzy

"You are outnumbered. You may have killed a dozen soldiers but you will not win this fight. Especially when your head is not in the game," She walked around me. "You can thank your boyfriend for that." She walked out of the room, leaving me with my thoughts. The room was already cleared, the guards disappeared.

What did she mean by that? How did she know about me and Luke? For sure she has been keeping an eye on him though I still had no idea what she could possibly want with him.

I felt arms around me and I was being lifted. I felt my self being drained and that was the last thing on my mind before everuthing went black.
