Chapter 13 - Ally Kat Unmasked

350 push-ups, shooting practice, knife-throwing practice, the obstacle course, fencing, archery, speed, martial arts, building my body up for poisons, and experimenting with explosives and other weapons. This is what filled every single day in my life with Walter. Not to mention that I also had to study and recite, not only regular school things, but also all the different ways to kill someone, how to hurt someone without killing them and how to avoid getting killed or hurt. Each day I was given a situation and I was to figure out how to get out of it without killing anyone as well as with killing someone. The things I excelled in the most were the martial arts and speed. I was highly motivated by speed because I knew my opponent was very fast. Who's my opponent, you ask? Let's just say, she's someone who haunts my dreams.

Chapter 12 - A Visitor

I must have been insane to trust Walter as much as I did. He had me, who had never flown or even seen someone fly before, do the first flight test in the airship by myself. I can still hear his words in my ears. “It's supposed to be able to be flown by even a two year old, as long as you know the password. If you crash and die, I'll know I did it all wrong.” Ah, what fond memories I have of him. I did the test flight perfectly fine however, and driving the thing was like second nature. I asked him what the difference was between this one and the others at the organization. He said the others had propellers that could easily be demolished. Whereas this one had none and flew even smoother. I remember he was so proud of it.

Chapter 11 - The Spell-caster

“I've got a surprise for you, Ally. Close your eyes,” Walter said. I did so and he led me through the house to the back. “Alright, now open them.” When I did, I saw the most gorgeous airship of them all. “Isn't she a beaut?” I couldn't even speak. I simply walked up to it and ran my hands over it's smooth finish. “The best part is that it's fully automated as well as fully manual. Just flip this hidden switch here to change from one to the other.” “Uh, Walter?” “Yes, Ally?” “Shouldn't the switch be on the inside?” “....”

Chapter 10 - A Flying Mishap

I gazed at the young man before me. “And just who are you, little girl?” I smiled. I hated it when people called me a little girl. “Ally Kat. I suggest you remember it. You might get yourself in trouble someday and want to call me.” “You're a cheeky little thing, aren't you? What are you doing here?” “Stealing information. Why don't you take a look at it?” “I think I will at that.” The man took the hard-drive I offered him and led me down the hall to another office. He turned on a computer in there and slipped the hard-drive in. The more he glanced through the file, the more horror-stricken he became. “You... just what were you planning on doing with this information? Who are you really?” “I told you, I'm Ally Kat. I'm hoping to take down the organization with this information. Would you care to help?” “How?” “I need someone on the inside. Someone who can slip me information about certain people and criminals. Can you do that for me?” The man just gazed at me for a little while, then said, “I will do everything I can.”

Chapter 9 - A New Suspect

I hurried to my destination. There were more guards than usual, but that made no difference to me. I slipped past them unnoticed, same as the shadows of any alley cat. I ran through the building. There was no need to avoid security cameras, as the power was out. Soon, I came to the room where they kept the computers. I needed to get more information on the head. I easily hacked through the pass-codes and downloaded the file I wanted onto a hard-drive. I spun around in the chair and came face to face with a man with curly blonde hair and a boyish face. He had a knowing smile on. “Going somewhere?”

Chapter 8 - A Bird in a Kat's Trap

A light breeze blew against my face. The cool air felt refreshing on that hot, sticky night. But that heat was very convenient for me. There had been a blackout. No electricity could be accessed in any building. My target that night was the organization itself. This was about a year after I became Ally Kat. I rarely ever had a chance to get into the organization. They always kept it tight shut. Besides, the head of theirs was a genius who knew how to keep even me out. Their one mistake was that they relied on electricity too much. Tonight was going to be a cinch getting in and out of there.

Chapter 7 - Meeting Ally Kat

I believe it was at this point that Walter decided that I needed a codename. I couldn't use my real name, nor could I use the name of my disguise, which is what everyone else knew me as. I needed to make another name for myself that everyone would fear, as my codename would be associated with criminals. I overheard some people talking about how much they hated cats. I had always thought they were just cute and cuddly. But then as I watched one run down an ally, I realized they were more than that. Their cuteness was just a cover. When they went out at night, that was who they really were. They were hunters. And so was I. Who am I? I am Ally Kat.
