It Has Begun

It was the weirdest sensation she had ever beheld during her whole existence. She knew that she was awake but she didn’t believe that she had actually been asleep. She slowly opened up her eyes to find that she was and naked in a beautifully decorated master bedroom. An uneasy cold tingle shot threw her neck, something was very wrong, she didn’t live alone. Last she checked, she’d just gotten engaged and had found herself implanted within a very successful career path. No! This was something else, she sat up in the bed, pushed the covers off her body and gazed out the massive twin windows that this bedroom sported. She tried to think of what she last remembered doing before she had awoken here, but everything was fuzzy. Every time she attempted to call upon the memory it came and went in a flash. The only thing she could remember was feeling a sense of danger, anxiousness and... death. Or at least dying was the first thing that came to mind that could mildly explai

AN ALLY AMONG KILLERS

Carmen stood in the elevator as it descended down to the hanger bay. She had been contemplating how she was going to go about killing this target she had been given. It wasn't that she had doubts about doing it, she just wasn't sure if she was ready to kill an actual living person. It was one thing to shoot at digital targets in a training simulation and another to kill a real person. She had been trying to prepare herself for the moment when she would pull the trigger. For a male it may be different to just kill someone since men are able to channel different emotions and do what's necessary. For a woman it was different. This woman might have a husband, children and so on. Strangely enough a part of her felt at ease with killing, almost as if this was something, she’d done many times before. But that couldn’t be possible, but then again, she couldn’t remember anything before her training so who was to say she hadn’t killed anyone before today.   The doors open

A STRANGE DREAM

He looked at her so intimately as they stood at the altar in front of the priest. She put the wedding ring she bought on his finger and he did the same. It was a very happy moment as the priest pronounced them husband and wife. They learned in and shared the most passionate kiss she had ever experienced. It was the best day of her life; she was married and would be graduating from the arts academy in three weeks. Not only that, but her daughter's birthday was in three weeks not to mention her own birthday; which was on the same day. Graduation and both of their birthdays, it was indeed a happy moment. She hoped that it would last forever, but she knew very well that all good things always come to an end.   "You know that I love you more than anything in this whole universe?" He said to her as they went into the private dressing room.   She smiled at him intensely. "I know, I love you too. Where's Valic

BREAKING IN

Carmen glanced around the corner and saw three Federation spec ops troopers further down the corridor guarding Michelle Gaven's apartment door. Apart from the troopers the corridor was empty and from the looks of it that wasn't going to change. She glanced down at her wrist watch and saw that she only had a few minutes before Amelia would be in complete control of the buildings security systems. Carmen had given the AI specific instructions to hack into the system and plant a virus. If Amelia was as good as she claimed the officers in the security room wouldn’t even notice the intrusion. She was beginning to appreciate having an AI with her during her missions. Amelia did come in handy when she was needed. Hopefully all the security cameras would be shut down once Amelia was finished. "Are you almost done?" She asked Amelia, her voice just above a whisper. Carmen didn't get a response, so she patiently waited as she watched four more t

Identity Crisis

Carmen had been roaming around Michelle Gaven's apartment for several minutes now. She amassed anything that could be of any use to her yet, but she felt if she went in the right room, she would find what she was looking for. Mina had told her earlier that she had found out that Michelle had been conducting an investigation in Alicia Alexander's disappearance. A small part of Carmen speculated that Alicia was a real person. It was possible that the voice in her mind could be Alicia telepathically trying to communicate with her. Although after the dream she had and what she had seen in the mirror earlier during the day she knew it wasn't that. The only explanation she could come to was that she must've have been Alicia Alexander. Carmen was having a tough time believing that, she couldn't even remember anything that happened six months ago never mind her whole life. She shook her head and tried to rid her mind of all these thoughts as she walked into another room.

Choices of One

Carmen stood in the living room as she watched Michelle slowly walk to where she was. It was a surreal moment. So many thoughts and questions had flooded her mind. She knew that in the end there was no end result where Michelle walked out of all this alive. It wasn't a good thought, but as far as Carmen was concerned it had to be done. before her last moments she was going to get what, she wanted, even if she had to force her to tell. As Michelle made it to the living room Carmen saw something in her eyes. It was that look people have when they are in disbelief when the truth is right in front of them. Carmen found this woman very intriguing upon first glance, she knew that killing her was going to be difficult. "Brenna, lights on." Carmen watched as the lights came on and suddenly the look on Michelle's face went from unbelief to shock. "So, it really is you, you have no idea what I've had to do to track you down."

Those Left Behind

 Everything inside the interrogation room shined like it was bought the day before. Metal tables, chairs, even the walls were stainless steel and Carmen sat there in restraints. Her mind whirled around like a tornado hell bent on destruction. She was going to get out of here one way or the other. She would have to use all the skills she acquired during her training. Inside her mouth she felt for the wire that she placed on the side of her gums. Carmen quickly spat it out and it fell in her lap. She strained herself as she tried to grip it with her restrained hands. Her wrists were bound in front of her and she knew that the cameras would probably show what she did. It was a quick motion so she might have a chance if she kept the interrogators attention focused on her face. She had no idea of who would be coming in to question her, she hoped that it was a woman because it would be difficult to overpower a man or several men in such a small space.

Taste of Power

 Her mind was focused on one thing, getting out of this base alive. It was going to be a monumental task considering that she wasn't able to contact anyone on the outside at this point. She was too busy fighting soldiers to worry about if help was coming. The alarms in the base were blaring and she knew that it was only a matter of time before they found a way to put her down. The good thing about Carmen was that she wasn't a soldier which meant she didn't always fight in the open. Her best friend was the shadows, its where she was the deadliest. Throughout her training her instructors praised her for always striking from the darkness. Right now, her primary goal was to find the armory and get her affects back. If she was going to survive this then she would need Amelia's help. No doubt her AI was missing her and she needed the extra help. She ran past several guards who didn't know she was the loose captive and took advantage of the situation. She
