Chapter 3 The Mission
Sona P.O.V.
Now, in order to understand me, you need to know, well the history. I started taking jobs since I turned 6, as you know already. By the time I was 7 I was juggling 3 jobs at a time. That when things got bad. My parents realized that with me, they didn’t have to work at all really.
They took me out of school, and I received 3 more jobs. I learned what I could by night. Ellie’s old books.
Oh, Ellie. To tell the truth, she didn’t pull her own weight. Literally, I’ve had to haul her stuff around since I could walk.
She doesn’t ever have to lift a finger and has never, never, been neglected by my parents. From the latest style of shoes to custom throw pillows for her bed, she get treated like a queen. And the worst thing is that it’s my hard earned cash being used for these luxuries.
She has never felt my pain.
When I was 13 I took a job working on a wheat plantation. Our boss was a madman, and would whip us if we didn’t bring in enough wheat. But it was good money, so I kept the job. I can now never wear dresses or shirts that have a low back, or I’m bound to get some questions about the scars.
It hurt, oh god it hurt. But I got used to the pain after a while. After all, even if you got whipped you still got paid the full 15$ a day. I know the luxuries of my life.
The train chimed as we arrived at the destination and me and my parents stood up beckoning me to follow. As we stepped outside of the train, I was greeted this the familiar gala hall.
There was no denying it was beautiful. The floor was lined with a red carpet, and hors d'oeuvres were set out on silver plates sitting on the tables. Girls of all shapes and sizes laughed and smiled in the twinkling light of the chandelier. I felt plain and simple in my run down dress compared to their extravagant glowing gowns.
At least half of the girls were well off, you could tell by their bright and glorious gowns. But their pale skin look washed out, and their hair pulled and pushed into unnatural positions. Their smiles looked forced and their makeup to bright. Kinda like dolls that a child has drawn all over.
The men wore tuxedos of every color and people danced and laughed, full of joy and happiness.
If only it could be mine.
My dad roughly pulled me into a corner and spun me around to face him.
“Now you hear me out, you better listen and listen good. I will no longer keep a matchless girl in my home, you hear me? Ellie is a exception, because she is just waiting for her match to buy a house, but you, you, insignificant being. You get matched now, or never!”
I looked down, not daring to catch his gazed.
“Speak to me gi-“He was cut off by a large boom and a chorus of screams.
“QUICK, RUN WHILE YOU CAN! THERE ARE BOMBS!” I heard a man scream in pain before falling to the ground.
That’s when a explosion sent me flying through the air. It was almost as though the world had gone into slow-motion. I passed pieces of debris from the floor and walls, scattered champagne glasses and fellow citizen’s body’s before hitting the cold hard floor and blacking out.
I’m not sure how long I was out, hours, minute, maybe even second before I felt warm fingers pressing into my neck and voices.
“Brian, why are you checking her pulse?” said a noticeably feminine voice.
“Because I’m alive.” I manage to croak out before it all went black.
Fox P.O.V.
The voice came from behind me a deep but still soft somehow
“Ahem” I clear my throat and stiffen. It’s a new recruit “Commander state your name, rank, and intentions!”
“Uh sorry! I’m phi- uh Commander Wyatt, uh I’m a recruit? And Brian sent me said the foxy one should come out and dance, which I think means we are ready to go on the mission?”
I sigh this is Brian’s sick way to embarrass me but I bet he was hoping for me still changing. That sicko
“Well I’m coming” I say storming out holding up my dress “and Wyatt?”
“Yes?”
“Thank you” I can almost feel him blushing oh wait that might be me shoot! I storm off to find Brian and get ready for the attack and try to ignore the stares with envy and lust in them. Not to mention the whistles
The long driving in a limo was nothing compared to this people lounging around trying to find their soul mate or people awkwardly trying to talk to me I just shoot them a glare and they usually back off. Brian is flirt and there is one direction he seems to keep looking in I can’t see the girl he’s looking at but she must be pretty to actually attract Brian enough that he looks but is too nervous to talk to.
“Uh chief fox would you like to uh dance?” says a voice that I almost recognized like I heard it in a dream if I still had dreams that weren’t nightmares. I turn around and see
“Wyatt that is immensely inappropriate!” I yell/ whisper “but if we must to blend in sure also you must call me” I gulped I don’t love this part of the mission
“Felicity” he says shocking me “I asked around”
“Dang it Brian!” I whisper he was the only one who knew!
As we dance we are the only couple not being complete idiots and Wyatt is actually a good dancer. I’m not sure what class he’s from this is one of the only ones I can’t figure out.
Later on we stop dancing and I switch to dancing with Brian
“The bombs have been placed” he says
“Good the trigger is in my stocking”
“Wow I’m impressed you know what a stocking is! Let alone wear them!”
“Oh shut up! Louise made me wear them!”
“Didn’t say I was complaining! Or anyone else for that matter”
“What’s that supposed to mean!”
“Oh I think you know”
“Shut up. Coming from you Mr. sidelong glances” I say holding my laughter as Brian blush, looked confused, happy, and embarrassed all at the same time then as I switched partners to some creepy guy
“I have to use the washroom!” winking at Brian
“but-uh There is no bathroom!” he responds with an English accent but I was already at the safe spot with Brian, Wyatt, and 2 more girls
“ready” I say as I pick out the trigger from the fishnet stocking that I now realise look like I came straight out of a porno but I do catch both boys staring. Which grosses me out.
“5 4 3 2 1 blow”
The explosion booms with smoke fire and chaos we wait until the screams and smoke clears.
“Good it probably got everyone but just in case” I cock my gun “shoot anything that moves”
We walk out I see Brian kneel over a body and
“BRIAN! Why are you checking her pulse!” I cry
“Because I’m alive” the body replies croaking out
“I’m taking her” Brian says
“You can’t that’s against”
“NO I am taking her trust me!” he says a stern look dang I know that look it’s the one he gets when he can’t be moved and I hear the helicopter land on the roof
“Fine decide at camp” as we bolt out and head back.
I just hope this girl won’t be a problem.
