=== Elizabeth ===
Gone. 
All of them were gone.
Captured. 
Or dead.
Elizabeth didn’t know.
She didn’t know and she hated it.
Hated her worry
Hated her pain.
But most of all, hated her weakness.
Without them she was lost.
Lost and Alone.
Powerless.
She hated this feeling.
So she had to get them back.
Back to the agency.
Back to hideout.
Back to their home.
She had to get them back even if she died trying.
== Part 1: Charlotte ==
=== Chapter 1 ===
I’d never thought I’d have to erase myself from the world. But then again I never thought I’d eat school lunch ever since the incident but I eat it all the time. That’s just how life works sometimes I guess. You don’t like something but then ya do. Anyway I’m getting off track. You might be asking,’Charlotte what the heck are you talking about?’ Well, let me start from the beginning. Then you’ll probably understand. Also dear reader, don’t get confused if someone else starts telling the story. That was Dawn’s idea, not mine. Anyway, getting off track again. Let me just start the story already.
My story starts on the second week of school. Me and my BFF Clara had just gotten to our second period class. Me and Clara had became friends on the first day because our schedules were almost exactly the same. Our birthdays were also almost exactly the same. Hers was on June 5th and mine was on June 9th. Anyway, getting off track again. This might happen a lot. I get distracted pretty easily. Anyway, we got into our second period class and took out our math books. We started chatting quietly like the other students as we waited for Ms. Hill.
A few minutes later Ms. Hill came in with a girl we’d never seen. She had golden blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and peachy pale skin. She was gorgeous. Ms. Hill introduced her as Elizabeth Johnson. Elizabeth smiled and gave a wave to the class. She didn’t seem to notice all the boys staring at her and eyeing her perfect features. Ms. Hill told Elizabeth to sit wherever she wanted. Elizabeth nodded and scanned the room. Her eyes landed on me and flashed with recognition. The she walked over and sat across from me and Clara. Ms. Hill started talking about math things and we turned our attention to her. Even though Elizabeth listened and looked at Ms. Hill, I couldn’t shake the feeling that she was watching me.
At lunch Elizabeth sat with us too. Turns out she had the exact same schedule as me. Exact same classes at the exact same time. It kinda creeped me out. Elizabeth didn’t look creepy at all. How could she when she was so pretty. Large bright blue eyes, wavy golden hair, pink heart shaped lips, and a perfectly small nose. I think her Beaty distracted everyone from the creepy things she did. Like how she stole glances at me whenever she could, like she was making mental notes of all my weaknesses. If I had known what other things she’d done I would have avoided her from the start.
=== Chapter 2 ===
When Elizabeth sat at us with lunch lots of other kids came to sit with us too. Lana, Amaya, Priscilla, and Cammi came to sit with us. This made the ten seat table a bit crowded. And it became full when Jason, Ryan, and Mitchel came to sit with us too. Lana, Amaya, Priscilla, Cammi, Jason, Ryan, and Mitchel were the most popular kids at school! This was crazy. I guess why they sat here though. The gorgeous new girl was sitting with us. Why wouldn’t they come here? 
Jason sat at the open seat next to Elizabeth. “Hey. You’re the new girl right? Elizabeth?” He asked. Elizabeth nodded and replied. “I prefer Eliza.” “Cool.” Jason said. “Eliza, do you know the 21 letters of the alphabet?” He asked. Clara and I couldn’t help snickering at the weird look Eliza gave Jason. She clearly didn’t know Jason was trying a pickup line on her. This was pretty funny. “There are 26 letters.” She answered, clearly confused. “Oh right. How could I forget the U R A Q T.” Jason said. Eliza, realizing what he had said turned red. She mumbled something I couldn’t understand. Jason, clearly happy with what he’d done, continued with the pickup lines.
Surprisingly Jason knew a lot of pickup lines. By the time lunch was over Eliza was as red as a tomato. As me and Clara walked over to dump our trays Eliza came up next to us. “Can I talk to you?” She asked me. “Umm, sure.” I replied. We dumped our trays and I told Clara I’d be back as soon as I could.
Eliza took me to the closest girls bathroom. She checked each stall to make sure it was empty then turned to me. “What’s your name?” I blinked, surprised at her question. “Charlotte.” I answered. Eliza nodded. “Good.” She murmured more to herself than me. She came closer and took my hand. I yanked it away in surprise. “What are you doing?” I demanded. Eliza looked into my eyes and said in a startlingly soothing voice, “Nothing you need to worry about. Now, can you give me your hand?” I nodded and slowly placed my hand in hers. I didn’t know why but I felt safe. “Do you prefer any nicknames Charlotte?” Eliza asked, her voice still calm and soothing. “I prefer Charlie but Charlotte is fine.” I reply. I look over at my hand. On Eliza has drawn green symbols that remind me of plants and vines. “What are you doing?” I ask. “You don’t have to worry about that. Eliza answers. She finishes drawing and I feel tired. “How are you feeling?” She asks. “Sleepy.” I answer as I try to blink away the grogginess. Eliza smiles. “That’s good. Don’t fight the sleep Charlotte. If you’re tired go to sleep.” I nod slowly and sit down. Eliza crouches next to me and helps me lay down. I curl into my normal sleeping position and close my eyes. And the next thing I knew I'd drifted into a peaceful slumber.
=== Chapter 3 ===
I slowly opened my eyes and sat up. Where was I? What had happened? “Good. You’re awake.” I turn around to see Eliza sitting in a chair next to me. “Where am I?” I blurt out. “In the nurses office.” For the first time I realize I’m in a cot. I’m about to ask what happened when the memories flood back. Eliza drew green symbols that looked like plants. I let her draw them. When she finished drawing I fell asleep. Why had I fallen asleep? What made me so sleepy? Was it the symbols? I glance at my hand. The symbols aren’t there. “Are you feeling well?” Eliza asks. “What happened?” I demand. Eliza smiles sweetly before replying. “Let’s go to the bathroom. I’ll explain there.” After what happened last time, I don’t think I’m going to the bathroom with her ever again. “Don’t worry.” Eliza says, her voice soothing. Like when we were in the bathroom. I don’t want to, but I listen to her. “Come on. Let’s go.” She says and I unwillingly follow. I don’t know why but I do. 
There’s a small bathroom in the nurses office. There’s a sink, a toilet, and a mirror. We go inside and I turn the sink on. I splash water on my face and I feel slightly better. I turn to Eliza and wait expectantly. She sighs and to my surprise yanks her hair off. She yanks her golden blonde hair and it comes off. It was a wig. Under it she is wearing a hairnet. She pulls that off too and down comes sleek brown hair. Her hair is like a waterfall of chocolatey brown. Then after she throws the hairnet and a wig to the floor she does her eyes. She takes out contacts to reveal purple eyes. Purple eyes! I gasped and she laughed. I stood there and watched her in shock. She turned on the sink and washed her face. When I looked at her again she had freckles sprinkled all over her face. “Surprised?” She asked. And I nodded, eyes wide open and staring at her. “Ok, remember when I said I was gonna explain right now? Well I lied. I’ll explain soon. Now, would you rather be erased from the world or fake your death?” “What?” I give her a weird look and she laughs again. “Um, erased I guess. Then nobody would be sad.” I say. “Ok. I can arrange that. I just gotta call Malia real quick.” She says. “What!? What did you say!?” I demand. Eliza taps the call button on her phone and raises a finger at me. ‘Not now.’ She mouths. A second later I hear a voice from the phone. Apparently Eliza had her phone on speaker. “Hey Lizzie.” “Hey Malia. Can you arrange another-“ “Already done.” Malia cuts in. “Ok. Can you launch that then?” “Sure.” Malia says and I hear a click. “Do ya want a portal too? Or any other travel thingy?” Malia asks. “Yup. Can you do a tunnel with the slide. That was fun.” Eliza answers. She glances at me and laughs at the weird and confused look on my face. “What so funny?” Malia asks. “Nothing.” Eliza answers, chuckling. “Oh, Malia.” “Yeah?” “Don’t send the slide to the ball pit this time.” Eliza says. I hear an annoyed huff and then a beep. Malia must’ve ended the call. Eliza turns her phone off and puts it in her pocket. She turns to me and asks, “Do you like ball pits?” I shrug and nod. “Good, because we might end up in one.” Rights as she says this a hole appears under us and down we go.
=== Chapter 4 ===
I’d like to say I was brave and didn’t scream, but that would be a lie. As we went down I closed my eyes and started shrieking. “Stop screaming! It’s fine!” Eliza yelled. I opened my eyes so I could roll them at her but before I could I saw my surroundings. We were going down a rainbow tunnel. Like we we were going down a slide. Then I remembered what Eliza had said. “Can you do a tunnel with a slide? That was fun.” We were going down a slide. “Where the heck are we!?” I demand. “We’re going to one of the hideouts. The one where the others are.” Eliza explains. Before I can ask the slide ends and we splash into water.
I come to the surface and gasp. I breathe air into my lungs and next to me Eliza surfaces too. I look up at the slide we came from and it moves. It moves back into the wall and a hole there closes. The slide is gone and next to me Eliza screams. “Malia! You are going to pay for this!” She swims to the adage of the pool we landed in and climbs out. I climb out after her and examine the room. It’s basically empty except for the pool we were in. I turn around and look at the pool. It slowly goes into the ground and the hole it leaves behind closes, leaving this room empty. There is a large metal door and Eliza storms through it, probably to go murder Malia. I run after her, not wanting to be left behind.
behind the door is a long hallway with twists, turns, and doors to who knows where. I follow Elizabeth trying to keep track of the halls but I get lost at the fifth turn we make. Eventually we end up in a nice cozy little area. There’s a fireplace with a crimson and go,d rug in front of it. Also in front of the fireplace are two comfy chairs that match the rug. On the walls are beautiful paintings of flowery meadows, gushing waterfalls, and snowy forests.
