Char--

Without waiting for a reply, I sprint after the two people who were talking. They slip out onto a busy street, and I almost lose them as a crowd of tourists walks by.

Almost. But a flicker of blond hair catches my eye, and I follow it. I'm almost certain they didn't see me, so there's no need to change my image, but I shorten my hair and turn it black anyway. It's a reflex.

The pair I'm following turn the corner, and suddenly we're in the square. People bustle around, looking fearfully at the agents, who ignore the glances. They saunter up to the door of the town hall, and one of them looks uneasy. The other one snorts, and I sneak closer.

"Tell me, you didn't forget the code again, Lark," the taller one says. Lark glares at him.

"Give me a break!" he says sharply, reaching out to touch the tall man, who gasps.

I frown. So maybe his power is touch focused. But what can he do?

Just like that, the big guy laughs it off and punches in a code, pulling the heavy door open.

This is my chance! I rush from my hiding place to grab the handle, but it closes a split second before my fingers brush it. I groan in frustration.

How am I supposed to help Jenna now? 

Hey guys! Super sorry I haven't been able to post in a while- I've had choir shows and tests and all that comes with high school. The story is definitely kicking off, and I'm stilll not exactly sure how I want Isla to play out, but I guess we'll see!

Isla-

About a week after my last shift, I get scheduled again. Yes! I'm so glad I get a break from the monotony of school and choir. 

That evening, I walk into the cafe and almost run into a customer. Oh my goodness! The cafe is packed! I stamp my timecard and then run into the back to start orders. 

When I get a chance, I pull Estelle aside.

"Hey Estelle. How are you doing?" I say.

"Um, I'm fine. It's just been a long week." She sighs.

I know she probably doesn't want to talk about any of the trauma that caused her her blackout, so I don't press too hard.

"Okay. Well, just let me know if you ever need anything." I smile at her, geniunely caring.

"Okay. Thanks Isla" She says.

I know something that will cheer her up! "Hey, I was wondering if you maybe wanting to head to the beach or lake sometime. I know you have some really cool water powers that I'd love to see! Since I can run super fast, maybe you could try to make a wave and have me sprint across it! " I exclaim.

She looks at me, blushing out of humbleness. "Hmm. Maybe. I'll let you know."

"Ok great! Have a great rest of your shift!" I go to clean a table and bump into Catherine.

"Oh, I'm sorry Catherine!" I giggle.

"Don't worry about it Isla!" She laughs.

"Oh, I wanted to chat with you for a little bit. Is that okay?"

"Yes, I can chat, but we're pretty busy right now. Can you stay after closing?"

"Of course! Thank you Catherine!"

After the rush dies down and the neon sign's lights are out, I head to the back. Catherine is there waiting for me.

"Hello again!" I say.

"Hey! What'd you want to talk about?" She says.

"Oh, I just wanted to check up on you and make sure you are okay. I know this whole situation is very stressful for you, but you keep such a strong front up that people don't really question anything. You support us when we should be supporting you."

Catherine sighs. "Thank you Isla. That means a lot to me. It has been extremely hard on me, and every night I get more worried about my baby girl. I have no idea where she could be. But I am so grateful to all of you for helping me look for her. You guys have become like a second family. I believe with the right determination and strength, we will be able to save Jenna."

I smile. "Yes, we will. Thank you so much Catherine. Have a peaceful night."

We embrace each other and then I grab my backpack and head out the door, smiling from the productive night.

Okay, that's all for now. I realize I'm kinda far back in the storyline, so I'll post again either tonight or tomorrow with a catchup to all the current events.

I hope I portrayed Estelle and Catherine as their creators pictured them. If not, please let me know so that I can use it for future reference. 

Oh also real quick, I know I said in an earlier comment that there was a love triangle. But I was just rereading, and I realize now that it is only 2 people, being Daylee and Estelle. Sorry about that haha. I should read more carefully. Have a good night everyone!

~Apple~

We stride into the dim Town Hall. My chest is still tingling from Lark's "insult".

"So what's the deal with Jenna?" I ask him, pushing back my dreadlocks.

"Apple, don't you ever pay attention?" Lark snaps.

I shrug slowly. "Not that I know of."

He scowls. "Her power is controlling people," he explains as we head towards the elevator.

"Ooh la la! Pretty fancy!"

"Fancy, and VERY valuable. If Ekers gets ahold of her he'll be able to dominate Rey before you can say - you can say -"

"Sign of the half-wolf," I suggest, referring to the symbol we Agents of Ekers use as our coat of arms, as you might say.

"Yeah." We step into the elevator and Lark presses the hidden button that takes us to the "special floor" where Ekers conducts all his secret business. Aka the basement.

"So does she like you?"

"LIKE ME?! Apple, I kidnapped her!"

I snigger. "I know, but with your long hair and dreeeeamy eyes -"

He glares. 

"No, honestly Lark, there was this girl following us! Just now! They LOVE you!"

Lark stiffens. "Wait, what?"

"Um... yeah..."

"YOU NOTICED SOMEONE FOLLOWING US AND DIDN'T CARE TO COMMENT?!"

"No! It didn't..she didn't seem important," I mumble as we step out into a bright hallway lined with barred doors.

~~Uh, whoever's got Lark, could you finish this scene? I hope i portrayed him correctly.

Vera~~

I reappear next to Char after the door is safely closed. I try, and fail, not to yell.
"What on earth did you do that for?"
She turns around, confused. "What do you mean?"
"They saw you! They know that we followed them!"
"That's not a problem! We're the two people who can go anywhere unnoticed! If you turn invisible, and I change appearence-"
"I have to wait like twenty minutes before I can be invisible again!" I take a deep breath and try to calm down. I talk to myself, a habit I have had since I was six. "Calm down, Vera. Think. We can't get in there unless-" I turn back to Char. "Did you see the code?"
"No, I don't have exray vision!" 
"Hm. Can you change to match one of the agents?"
She thinks for a moment. "I don't think so, at least, I couldn't do a very good likeness, since I didn't get a good look at them."
I groan. "The two people without any useful combat powers, confronted with a locked door, with secret agents behind it! Jenna could be in there! If only we had backup, someone with real exray vision, or lock picking, or concrete-wall-of-town-hall-smashing."
Char seems unconcerned about needing backup. "We shouldn't loiter around here. They might get suspicious." Her hair lengthens down to her waist, blushing to honey-blonde, and her eyes slowly fade to gray-blue. She shrinks about three inches, and freckles pop up all over her face. I blink.
"That is really disconcerting. Anyway, I just thought of something. Felix was taking some people to the library, wasn't he? Is that around here?"
"Yup. Just around the corner."
"Okay. We should split up. You can stay here and keep an eye on the building, and I can get backeup while my powers recharge-"
She frowns. "Nope. Absolutely no splitting up! We'll go together."
"But what if someone comes in or goes out while we're away?"
"Or what if someone picks off one of us while we're alone? You look pretty distinctive while your visible, I must say."
I frown. "Fine. Let's go quickly." I start off at a jog.
"Hey! Stop! That looks way to suspicious. We have to walk."
I groan, but hang back till she catches up. We set off for the library.

Char--

We set off down the street, deliberately not jogging. I stop next to a flower bed and give an exaggerated sniff of the tulips. Vera sighs through her teeth.

"What exactly are you doing?" she whispers. I turn to her, eyebrows raised.

"I'm meandering peacefully toward the library, so no one will suspect me. Isn't that what you're doing?" I ask pointedly. Then, just to freak her out, I change my eyes briefly red, then back to grey-blue. She jumps, and I double over with laughter.

"Let's just go." I start skipping ahead, while Vera sulks behind.

We reach the library ten minutes later.

"Come on inside!" I exclaim, practically dragging Vera with me. She shrugs.

"Fine. For a couple minutes. Then we turn around and head right back to the town hall."

We saunter in, glancing at the tall shelves of books before sitting down in cozy armchairs near the entrance. Across the main room, I see Aaliyah talking to a couple other employees. I wave, but either they don't see me or don't recognize me. Probably the latter.

Vera suddenly looks uncomfortable. "Time to go," she whispers, abruptly standing up. Walking softly to the door, I dye my hair pink and darken my skin a little to avoid recognition.

We reach the town hall again without further incident, but just as we put our feet on the steps, Vera hisses, "Quick, hide!" I oblige, ducking behind a row of hydrangeas as an agent of Ekers clomps past our positions and to the door. 

This is just to remind myself to post.

Sorry I've been kind of piled with a lot of stuff. I'll post REALLY soon. (I hope.) 

Hiii um . . . really sorry, but I think I might have to drop out. I'm loaded with homework and tests lately, because the trimester's coming to end. Sorry, again! uwu

Hey guys! I'm really sorry but I think I might have to drop out. School is getting super busy and I don't have time for it. Thank you so much for writing with me and I hope you all have a great life!

Ok so my computer deleted this like five times right when I was going to post so hopefully this is the last time I stressfully write this.

~Lark

I feel like banging my head on the walls as we walk. Sometimes Apple is so annoying.

"They're probobly going to try and find Jenna." I say taking deep breaths "We should probobly tell Ekers."

"How are we going to find him? He hides in the shadows all of the time." Apple complains.

"Well he's still watching Jenna as far as I know."

"Maybe he likes her." 

I look at him in disgust.

"Well don't deny it! Ekers is literally able to hide in shadows. I havn't seen him in weeks."

"I have." I mumble rubbin the back of my neck.

"Agents."

We whip around to see Ekers staring at us with a look of disaproval on his face.

"Sir-" Apple and I cut eachother off trying to explain but that only makes Ekers sigh in disapointment.

"Sir eh, what would you like us to do?" I ask trying to redeem myself.

"Well you two seem to know something. DO you not?" He asks cocking his head ever so slightly with a smile on his face. It sent chills down my spine. 

"Well, sir, We were being followed and we decided to not notice and then report to you." Is ay trying to calm my nerves.

"Well what do you want me to do about it?" He asks the smile gone from his face leaving a scowling frown.

"We thought that we should relocate the girl." Apple says

"I will discuss it with my comittee thank you." Ekers walks away.
