Chapter One
Kimberly Pov
Standing on the top of a roof. I watch the broken city. All my life I have harboured this sadness that have now turned into anger and hatred. Since these superhumans invaded earth, it has never been the same again.
Earth is now a ghost of what it used to be. I was born into this mess of a planet, but according to the books and stories I have heard from my father. It used to be a better place. Now I feel repulsed just looking at it from the top of the building I was standing on.
"Earth to Kim". I heard the voice of the Leader of the danger squad Tristan Stain who is also my best friend.
"Unfortunately Tristan I am on earth, something I wish I could change." I said. He gives me a smug smile.
"We could change that." He said, making me roll my eyes already knowing what he is about to say. " I mean I could push you off the building and you would die and leave earth." He said looking at me.
"Nope, my hatred for the superhumans would make me turn into a ghost and still be trapped on earth." I jump down a building landing next to Tristan. "Plus my squad would end you." I give him a fake Innocent smile.
"Okay whatever." He mutters to himself.
"I can still hear you." I say, rolling my eyes.
"The boss wants both our squads back at the mansion now." He informs me.
I nod. "I will round up my squad." I say, communicating with my squad telling them to meet me at the mansion.
Tristan and I are a part of a secret spy organization that works for the superhumans or at least pretends to. We are actually trying to find a way to end their reign but since they fund the organization, we have to carry out their dirty work too.
I begin running and jumping through buildings.
"Kim stop. New orders." I hear Tristan voice through my earpiece making me stop. I immediately communicate it to my squad.
I jump on the building where Tristan was standing. "Tristan what's wrong." I ask.
"I don't know." He said creasing his dark eyebrows. I watch as his brown eyes look everywhere while he runs his hand through his brown hair listening to the boss on his earpiece.
I tune into the call with the boss. "Tristan I need you and Kim back here immediately, your squads can continue the mission."
"Yes Sir." We said in unison, making Tristan give me a surprise look. "I thought you hate listening to the boss's voice?" He asked.
"I do but you looked so worried. I needed to find out what made you seem to think so hard, wouldn't want you to hurt yourself." I said with a slight smile.
Tristan fake gasps
"I would have you know that I am very brilliant Kimberly Andres." He said with a deep pout.
I scoff.
We get back to the organization and went straight to find Steven the owner of this place and also my adopted father.
I walked behind Tristan who is Six feet tall making me invisible behind him.
"Tristan where is Kim." Steven asked, unable to see me behind Tristan.
"Right here." I said coming from behind Tris.
"Great. Kim, Tris. Report to my office in five minutes I have something important to tell you two."
"Okay." We reply watching him walk hurriedly to his office.
"Helloooo." Someone say from behind me. I smile recognizing the voice.
"Hey Melissa." I reply.
"Come see the new gadget I made. You are gonna love it." She said, excited pulling me and Tris.
We follow her to the weapons room or as she would like to call it "The tech lair."
"Tadaa." She brings out a gun like weapon but more advanced looking. "Meet the Sharp shooter 502." She spins the weapon around waiting for feedback from us.
"Okay? So what does it do." I ask plopping down on a chair eating an apple. "Well it....
"Guys, the boss wants to see the two of us now." A member of our group informs us.
"Sure." I reply standing up and following Tristan out the door.
"Wait, what about my weapons." Mel asks looking disappointed. "Don't worry I will come check it out once am done with the boss." I give her a reassuring smile.
We get to the boss's office. I knock and he tells us to enter. So we did.
"Is everything alright." I ask noticing his worried expression.
"Not really." He replied making me crease my brows and position in a defensive manner. When my parents abandoned me in the woods to die, it was Steve who found me and took care of me. So if he was in trouble I am more than ready to defend him.
"We have a very important and delicate mission on our hands and you two are the only ones I can trust with this mission." Steve says looking at us dead in the eyes
"What is the mission about?" Tris asks.
Steve goes quiet for a while. "I need you two to spy on Lord Damien Tavian." He says.
"What?" We say in unison looking at Steve with shocked expressions. " You mean the Damien Tavian? I ask.
He quietly nods his head.
"No way." Tris says. "You can't be serious, Damien would have our heads if we tried that." He said trying to reason with Steve. I nod in agreement.
Steve sighs standing from his chair to sit on the table. "Guys I know but we don't have a choice here."
"We do, turn down the offer." I said.
He sighs again. "I would have if I could, but not only is the person who demanded this our biggest sponsor. He has also offered us a big amount of money and protection from the committee no matter what we do, and we would need that kind of protection considering our future plans." He said, trying to convince us.
Tris and I both go silent for a while.
"Even if we do agree to this. How on earth are we gonna get close enough to Lord Tavian to spy on him. You know how much he hates humans." Tristan said.
"Don't worry am sending you both undercover. The full details would be given to you later." He assures us.
Tristan sighs. " But....."
"Okay." I agree. "We would do it."
"We would?" Tris asks wide eyed.
"Yes." I reply making Steve smile.
"Well, with that cleared you two can leave. I will communicate the remaining details to you guys later." Steve said looking much relieved.
"Oh Kim remember, do not ever use your powers. We would not want them thinking you are anything but human." He reminds me.
"Never." I say, making Steve nod.
I was born with druid powers making me a hybrid. Many people in the organization hates me because they believe I should not be allowed to mix with them humans, but with time I have learned to ignore them because of my hatred for the superhumans.
I have also vowed never to use my powers.
