The S.T.F. Files, Book 1: S.T.F.

"Copy. Over And Out..."

Damien's P.O.V.

"Is she serious? It took all that to undo some dumb security?" I say. "I could just step over here and..."

"DON'T!" Riza shouts. I step on the turtle stone in the yard. Nothing happens.

"See, nothing happened..." I reassured her only to have a gas bomb blow up around us.

"I...thought you said...the secu..rity was de...fus...ed?" Alagretto can't stop coughing. Then he goes in a laughing fit.

"What's funny?" Dimitri asks.

"Help me! I can't...stop," he roars with laughter. Tears well up in his eyes, but he just can't seem to stop.

"Laughing gas," Riza confirms. "Look what you did, you moron. The bombs aren't security activated. That's for in case the security is breached. Dumb-ass..."

"I didn't mean...Aly!" I say. Aly falls to the floor. "What's wrong with her?!" Riza leans down and inspects Aly.

"She's sleeping. Seems like the gas affects us differently," Riza explains. I start coughing, Cleo gets paralyzed, but Dimitri and Riza are fine.

"Why...aren't you guys...affected?" I hiss between coughs.

"I held my breath," Dimitri explains.

"Because I'm better than you. Get Cleo so you can take her and the rest of them back and find shelter. I'll go in alone," Riza orders.

"What?! And miss all the action. I'm going with you!" I protest.

"I said GO!" Riza screams in my ear.

"Okay, okay! Just...don't get caught," I start coughing again.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it. Leave before he finds you," Riza calls. In a moment she was gone.

"What are you waiting for? Lets go!" Dimitri says, already out the gate. He was carrying Aly and dragging Alagretto by his head.

"Stop that! I can...walk on my own!" Alagretto protests kicking his feet around. He just can't stop laughing.

"I don't think so. You can't even walk two steps without rolling on the ground in laughter," Dimitri continues walking. I sigh.

Dimitri's P.O.V. ~ a few hours later...

"So, what are we going to do?" Alagretto asks. The gas affects finally subsided, but Aly and Cleo still haven't moved yet.

"Well, Riza said to find some shelter and she will probably be back soon. We might have to move again when she comes though so..." I explain.

"Let's build a hut!" Damien gets excited. "I used to always make huts in the forest behind my house. We will need leaves, mud, sticks, and some clay."

"Where are we going to find clay? This is the middle of no-where!" Alagretto exclaims.

"Actually, Damien is right...for a moron. If we dig deep enough to get dirt and mud, the next layer of earth under it is clay."

"Then let's get started..." Alagretto sighs.

~Six Clay Huts Later With Some Halls Attached Later...~

"Done!" Damien exclaims. The huts looked decent enough. It took us all day too. We made six huts that had clay hallways in between. Also had wooden bridges connected with vines to huts in the trees. It had running water...that took some time. It also took time to get blankets from the little village like 50 miles down but we managed. Cleo and Aly still haven't moved yet.

"What are we going to go about Sleeping Beauty and America's Next Top Shwiney?" Alagretto asks.

"I don't know Stripper. What do you think?" Damien replies smirking.

"I'M NOT AN FVCKING STRIPPER!" Alagretto retorts.

"Sure and I'm not a moron but we all have issues," Damien smiles.

"You are so gonna..." Alagretto charges for Damien. I sigh. I pick up Aly and take her to one of the huts in the trees. When I come back down, Alagretto is lying on his back against a hut and Damien is face down, kissing Cleo.

"What the fvck happened?" I ask.

"Well, Moron decided he wanted to kiss Shwiney so I just sat here," Stripper explains. Cleo opens her eyes and knocks the shiit out of Damien with her spoon. I groan and walk back up to Aly's hut. The res of them found separate huts and went inside. This family is a group of idiots, morons, and plain crap.

Aly's P.O.V.

The A.O.U. is coming. They're here.

"Don't touch them!" I yell.

"Get her," one of them says.

The guy comes towards me with a taser."

"Hold still..." he says, grabbing my arm.

"Noo!" I shout.

I wake up, breathing heavily. Dimitri is in a chair at the side of my bed, looking at me bewildered.

"What happened?" he asks. I burrow my head in his shoulder and sob.

"The A.O.U. They're coming. The Assassinations Operations Unit. They were taking us away. I couldn't save any of you!" I cry. He strokes my head.

"It will be okay," Dimitri reassures. Then the unthinkable happens. The A.O.U. came. Just like in my dream. No way.

They grab for Dimitri.

"Don't touch him!" I cry.

"Get her," one of them says. The man comes with a taser. He grabs my arm. I am too shocked to move.

"Hold still," he says, pulling the trigger.

"RIZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I cry. Then my world fades into darkness...
