The Girl Nobody Saw

Prologue

Natilie is one of many Projects. She goes to the Training Room before dawn for Assassin Training with Zachayas, eats at Food Facility, goes to her Rooming Department, and repeats the cycle. Sometimes when she's lucky, she is sent on missions; most of them being learning the secrets of her targets, and assassinating them if they're a threat to her Facility. But there are the Eliminators from a different Spy Facility, as she is told. The Eliminators are everywhere: in schools, disguised as taxi drivers, on the streets...
Long story short, she gets recognized or anyone gets suspicious, she's out of there, no compromises. No friends, no love, no relationships- strictly business.

She's the girl nobody saw, because if someone sees her, then they won't be alive for long.
But is she really willing to accept being invisible?
Or is she just lying to herself?

"Natilie! NATILIE!!" My friend Madilyn yelled.

"HURRY UP, WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!"

"I'm coming, calm down!" I answer as I come up the steps to the brick building called Middle School. Madilyn was impatiently waiting on the top step. She had golden blonde fine hair that trailed down slightly past her shoulders. She always wore it down, I had noticed, and hated it up for some reason...

I started walking up the steps when someone grabbed me by the shoulder. I swiftly turn around and see a young boy, about my age, but strangely very muscular. He had dirty blond hair that was pushed back in front.

"You're coming with me." He said sternly. I was about to reply when I look at his hand that was still gripping my shoulder and see an unmistakeable silver and red symbol on his wrist. It was the shape of a lower case 'e'( the e was red) and had three silver slash marks going through it- the symbol of the Eliminators.

"Madilyn, I need you to go inside. now." I said, trying to mask all of my emotions, but inside I'm scared.

"Wait, why-"

"GO." I was starting to get irritated.

"O-okay.." She turns around and walks inside.

"Let's go, NATILIE." The Eliminator said with a sickening grin as he pulled me away from the building and towards a dark alley. Once we were there, I turned and delivered a roundhouse kick to his stomach. But before my foot could hit its mark, he grabbed it and twisted it at a painfully awkward angle. I grunted in pain but he just laughed and said,

"I thought you would try that."
He pushed me forward straight into a wall. I was furious for letting myself make such an amateur move!! I had been in contact with many Eliminators before and never had trouble. Maybe it was because...because of Madilyn.

I never should have gotten so attached to my target. what were you THINKING, Nati?! Your job was to find out who she was working for, report to Director Z, and move on to the next mission- that's all!

A hideous laugh brought me back to reality as I looked up into the Eliminators gleaming gray eyes.
" All the stories I've heard about you were lies. Chief S told us you were a skilled assassin, as well as an excellent liar. That girl, what was her name... Madilyn? Has she caught on to all of your little lies? You know, how you lied about being her friend, always being there for her; when in reality, you're just a scammer and a cheat. You're an assassin who-"

"Assassin?" I looked around him and saw an all too familiar face that made my heart sink... The face of Madilyn, staring back at me in horror.

"Madilyn, I-" Her face suddenly hardened as she held her hand up in response.

"No Nati, no need to explain. You see, I knew you were different from the start. You always took everything seriously and whenever I talked about how great of friends we would always be, you would change the subject. You were a loser, I took you under my wing, and you betrayed me. I hate you Natilie Stilts, if that's even your real name."

I was devastated. I felt my eyes start to water but I managed to hold it back and pull off an impassive face.

The Eliminator interrupted the silence.
"Girl drama... I'll never understand that. But, you know what I do understand? I understand that blondie over here now has heard confidential information. And we know what the price is, right Nati?"
He smirked evilly and pulled out a knife, which caused Madilyn to gasp in horror. She tried to run, but before she could take a step, the Eliminator launched the knife into her back. I tried to scream but I was so shocked I couldn't move. She flopped to the ground, cold and lifeless.

"MADILYN!!!" I was suddenly filled with a boiling anger that was threatening to drive me mad. When I could finally move, I jumped up and tackled the startled Eliminator, pinning him to the ground. I reached for my knife, but suddenly I felt a needle shoot into my neck. the corners of my eyes started to darken as I looked up to see who shot me:

Director Z.

I woke up in the Healing department of the Facility. I'm about to ask my Nurse what happened when an image of Director Z popped out of the Healing room TV.

"Director Z here. Project N, are you present?"

"Yes sir, I'm here."

"As you already know, we transported you back to the facility after getting no response to our transmissions. We are very disappointed in you, Project N. We misjudged you and thought you were ready for a higher level mission, but apparently not. For those reasons, we are sending you back to training as soon as you heal for two years- no missions. Understood?"

I hang my head and mutter,

"Understood, Director."
