"ANNALISA!"..

I quickly threw everything else into my bag,. I didn't have much time to pack, but oh well. I would be back home soon.

Hopefully.

I ran down the stairs as fast as I could. I knew I didn't have much time and my procrastinated packing didn't save much time either. I finally reached the ground floor, hoping to see my parents waiting for me. of course that was a stupid thing to hope for. they were my parents and I knew they loved me to the moon and back but I also knew they had more........important things to do.

way more important things.

the voice coming from downstairs was coming from my older brother. his greyish-blue eyes looked glassy as he stared at me. it was obvious that he had been crying, but I didn't want to bring it up.

"Lise if you don't want to...."

I held up my index finger before he could finish his sentence.

"Leo, it's okay. mom and dad want me to do it so i'll do it with or without your support"

he stared at me again, but this time I could notice a slight look of pride lingering in his eyes. suddenly he walked up to me and enveloped me in a hug. I hugged back, trying to magically conjure up some sunglasses so he couldn't see the tears forming in my eyes. I couldn't do that, but he chose to over look the tears on his chest I guess.

he pushed me back a bit, then looked me in the eye.

"I only have one sister, a very little one, but never the less a sister. you've got to survive for me."

I playfully scowled at his comment

"i'm younger by 4.226 seconds, give it up"

He smiled a little at that.

"stay safe kid"

I nodded , beginning to walk to the door. I could feel his presence as he followed me. when I reached the door I paused for a second, I could feel his eyes trying to burn holes in my back. I could almost imagine them, filled with hope, silently praying that I would turn back and run back upstairs so we could forget about this and go watch some Netflix.

and that thought killed me a little bit inside,

"Leonardo.....I love you"

there was a slight pause, before he replied in a quiet, strained voice.

"I love you too, Annalisa'

with his words and voice fresh in my head, I walked out of the house. there was no way I was going to fail, if not for my parents, I would survive for Leo.

now were did I park that helicopter the last time??
*************************************
After a long day of helicopter riding, i finally reached my...." destination".
It was already nighttime, presumably 9:30 or so, so i guessed i was right on time.
For somewhere that required such high security, it was surprisingly easy to pick the lock.
With a bobbypin.
A freaking bobbypin.
Now the main problem, finding my way around.
As expected , the place was huge. My parents had e-mailed a map of the place earlier on but it was in my bag, so i resorted to trusting my instincts. Since i knew i had to get around somehow, i took my time to observe the place.
It was utterly beautiful. There were huge windows on each side of the halls, with long, dark plum drapes hanging . But no matter how beautiful the place was, after a few hours of walking around, the harsh reality of the matter dawned in me.
I was lost.
Okay this was not planned.My parents never briefed me about being lost. I'm not meant to be lost!! I'm not allowed to be lost, what the actual hell. This is why i wish i was a pop tart. Pop tarts never get lost.
Never.
Suddenly i heard a laugh coming from behind me. A deep,manly laugh. I froze.
"No, please continue. I find your soliloquy quite amusing. Now you were at the part were you were wishing you were a pop tart, right?"
I slowly turned, smiling sheepishly at him.
I don't know why i didn't run. I was fast enough to get out of there . Maybe it's because he didn't sound mad, or because his voice was so inviting.
"Now if i may ask what are yo......."
"ZANE!!, ZAAAAAANE"
Before i could ask he lifted me up, sprinting down the halls until he reached a small room.
He ran to the wardrobes and pulled out something.
"Here,put this on"
"WHAT,WHY??"
He shook my shoulders lightly.
"Do you wanna live, or not"
I quickly ran into what was luckily a bathroom and changed into the clothes he had given me. I wasn't even going to wander why he had girl clothes, i was just focused on coming out alive.
I came out in a pair of leggings and a black sweater. I had let my hair down and braided it into two quickly. The only thing i left on were my heavily tinted glasses.
I immediately walked to the stranger(who's name i guesses was Zane) .
As soon as i did, the door flew open.
"WHAT THE HELL I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU!!"
He had a sheepish smile on his face.
"Sorry man"
The first guy had obviously cooled down. As he talked to Zane,i took in his features. Dirty blonde hair,sea green eyes, a build that was lean and muscular at the same time.
Damn he's attractive.
I think he finally noticed me.
"And who's the pretty little lady?"
Over the years,i had learnt to control my emotions, so unlike most girls my face was completely blush free. But that doesn't mean I didn't smile a bit.
Come on,which girl wouldn't smile at that??
"Her name is...."
"Annalise" i said, sticking out my hand to him. He smiled at me, ignoring my hand and enveloping me in a huge hug.
Oooh damn, how i love hugs
"And she is??"
A new, deep voice asked.
Zane's face immediately looked uncomfortable, as if he had suddenly got a bad tummy ache.
Mr.cute and stuff released me,then gave me a sorrowful , half-smile.
And my head went all"OH NO MR CUTE AND STUFF DON'T RAT ME OUT"
But then he chuckled a bit and winked.
My head then went all "DAAAAAMN"
And then he turned to "the intimidator"(the name suited him,still does) and said.
"Relax bro,she's the new maid"
And then my head went all
"stupid annalisa. Your in some deep shit now"
