~*~AK~*~
“Actually, she just turned herself in. I didn't actually catch
her,” Jack explained to the dumfounded Blake. “But look at her!
It's no wonder we couldn't catch her!” They all watched as Ally Kat
continued balancing coffee on her nose.
“Say, where's Pepper?” Blake asked.
“Isn't it obvious? The fact that she isn't here, must mean that
that's Pepper!” Linton suggested.
“Hey guys, I heard some crazy news that Ally Ka-” Pepper walked
in and stopped dead in her tracks, staring at the girl on the back of
the chair. Ally Kat too, spun around, dropping her cup of coffee on
the floor. The two blue-green eyed girls stared at each other for a
moment and then Pepper slowly approached her and yanked her off the
chair. She landed lightly on her feet and gave Pepper a cocky
side-glance.
“You mean... it wasn't Pepper?” Linton spoke, dumfounded.
“No, Linton. It wasn't Pepper,” Jack confirmed.
“Then... just who is she?” Sydney asked.
“I know who she is,” Pepper said.
“Pepper?” Blake looked at his coworker more carefully. She seemed
to be coursing with hatred and excitement and fear all at once, while
still keeping her cool.
“All this time, I thought it was you. I didn't quite expect to be right though.” Her
eyes were wide with awe at first, but then they narrowed and she
addressed the rest of the team. “Ladies and gentlemen. Allow me to
present to you my twin sister, Alameda Katherine Plight. Otherwise
known as Alameda Bryce.” She pulled off the mask on Ally Kat's face
and Ally Kat turned her head to look them straight on. There in front
of him, stood Alameda Bryce, except instead of her mysterious golden
eyes, they were blue and green.
“Blake. I told you didn't I? The day that I'm Ally Kat will be the
day that I have an evil twin sister,” she said, giving him a very
realistic smile.
“But, the eyes. Alameda has golden eyes.”
“You're forgetting that my ability to see in the dark is magical.
It comes from my eyes. Whenever I use my magic, my eyes shine blue
and green. But when I don't, they're gold. It's very simple, really.
It's kind of difficult when I have to be Ally Kat in the day, though.
Here, I'll change.” Alameda closed her eyes and opened them again.
There, the golden glimmers shone out. Blake just continued to stare.
“So, Blake, you knew this girl? As Alameda Bryce?” Sydney asked.
“Yes. She was my informant. No wonder it was so easy for you to
gather information on Ally Kat. You were Ally Kat herself. But,
Alameda, I was just with you at my apartment. How did you get here so
quickly?”
“There's no morning traffic when running on the roofs of houses and
buildings,” she explained.
“All I really want to know is... why?” Linton asked.
Alameda smiled. “Hmm. Now it's my turn to introduce someone. Ladies
and gentlemen. Allow me to present to you my twin sister, Katrina
Alena Plight. Otherwise known as the Head of the organization.” A
dead silence fell on the room.
“Pepper... you're the Head?” Linton asked, stunned.
“How did you know, Ally?” Pepper asked, turning to her twin.
“Easy. Our father may have been a super mass murderer with his big
team and all that, but he never trusted anyone but family. That's why
he had to train us. When I left, and Eri and Mama were gone, the only
one left was you.”
“Naturally. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to deceive you.
However, it didn't matter. Now I'm here and you're here. And you are
my prisoner.”
“Is that so? I wasn't caught you know. I came here of my own free
will. I wouldn't call that a prisoner. Oh, and I found your
assassin's broken staff by the lake. I don't think you'll be seeing
him again.”
“Paul's dead?”
“Does that shock you?”
“....No. No, I realize now that it shouldn't. Our father trained
both of us too well. The only one who can kill you, is me.”
“Likewise, sister.”
Pepper pulled out a knife and stood in a fighting stance, facing the
girl across the room. Alameda, on the other hand, simply stood
casually and closed her eyes.
“What do you think you're doing? Are you going to fight me
barehanded? Get ready! I wont show you mercy just because you don't
put up a fight,” Pepper warned.
Alameda said nothing, but continued to stand perfectly still. Pepper
gave a small “humph!” and made the first move. Her anger showed
just how fast she could move. In a flash, Pepper was on the other
side of the room, and jabbing multiple times at Ally Kat. But every
time, Ally Kat avoided each attack like it was nothing, her eyes
still closed. Pepper fell back for a second and Ally Kat opened her
eyes, the gold in them sparkling with life and determination. She
quickly pulled out her gun and shot at Pepper, who quickly dodged.
But it soon became apparent that she wasn't even aiming at her
sister. Instead, the bullet shot passed and hit the little dwarf
spell-caster who had silently entered the room and was about to
destroy everything in the office. It hit him in the shoulder so that
he was forced to drop his new staff. Ally Kat then ran to the window
and opened it, balancing on the sill.
“I came here to protect my friends from the dwarf. When I saw his
staff, I knew he had simply abandoned it and gotten a new one. The
time for me to kill you has yet to come. But trust me, it will come.
And soon.” Here she turned to look at Blake, her golden eyes
piercing through him. “I'm sorry that I couldn't be fully honest
with you. Perhaps one day you will forgive me.” Suddenly, she put
on one big, bright smile and called out, “See ya!” and jumped out
of the window. Everyone ran to the sill and looked out. The office
was on the 20th floor. There was no way she could have
survived that fall. But there in the distance, climbing into her
airship which hovered below, was Alameda Kathrine Plight.
