“See I think that the perfect murder is one you don’t even need to be there for. Separate yourself out enough that you can’t be a suspect.” Sam explained, the kitchen filled with her once enemies looking at her mortified. “The problem is that so many people want to be there to see the light leave their targets eyes, and don’t get me wrong. I’ve been there. It’s a truly unique experience, if it’s s...

"I am being serious. This isn't something I would joke about." Ethan explained. "Without a doubt, we could rob a bank. It really wouldn't be hard."

"I don't think that is what Andrew is worried about. Right?" Chloe asked, turning to Andrew who nodded. "Exactly, he is more worried that you literally want us to rob a bank."

"It is a bit out there," Andrew added quietly.

"I quite like it," Zoe ...

“Look I’m giving you the option here. I’m trying to be nice alright.” Sam explained, pacing the empty room.

The boy she had captured was tied to a chair, it was placed in the centre of the room right below the single light that shrouded their face in shadows.

“You need food and water to live, I can provide both. Doesn’t that mean I am the most important person in your world right now?” Sam smi...

“Nope not that. No beyond maps or venturing. Venturing means we choose to go. The only thing you have right is that we are all in the unknown.”

Ethan couldn’t understand why. They were lost, the streets were busy and loud.

He couldn’t believe that he got talked into this. Before he even realised what was going on Alex and Olly has whisped the trio into central London. Blindfolded and given onl...

“It’s not your goldfish. This is my friend.” Ethan said, looking down on a small child with disdain. It’s lip was quivering and the ballon that was in its hand had begun floating up into the sky.

“But I won that. You can’t have what I won.”

Ethan sighed. How was this his day? He thought it would be a fight at a carnival. Not arguing with a child about a goldfish.

“Why don’t I win you another...

Finally. After years of conflict and emotions riding so high neither fully could understand them the two stood.

The battlefield was little red with bodies and craters. It was a battle neither expected to survive, a battle neither expected the other to survive.

But now here they stood. Alone, finally.

Clouds of dust lifted high in the sky, obscuring the sun painting them in a shaded gloom.

“I’m just saying…we are staying in their village. Shouldn’t we maybe try to follow some of their customs?” Andrew asked, falling a few steps behind Sam who, as always, confidently stride forward her balance not even shaking on the uneven dirt ground.

Either side of them were tiny houses that went as far as Sam could see. They had been lucky enough to find this place while on the run and had met ...

“Why in gods name am I here?” Zoe groaned.

“Well it was recommended that once we leave the academy that we try and meet normal people.” Chloe started.

“Normal people,” scoffed Zoe, looking around the room. It was a drab room with scuffed wood floors and a dozen sets of chairs sat in fours. The walls were pasty white with cracked paint and there was a small cork board with blue felt with flyers ...

Chloe has just finished cooking herself dinner. She had tried a new recipe from one of her favourite websites and after several alterations and questions to search engines about what to do and how to make it she was just about to sit down to eat.

Her phone buzzed and she saw a message from the agency. They were still searching for Alex and Ethan, she wondered how they were doing and hoped they h...

Sebs jaw dragged along the gangplank as the trio walked up the steep slope towards the cruise ships entry way.

He had never been on a boat this large, he doubted he had ever been on anything this large ever.

He looked down to the water below and felt his vision spin and laughed rocking back nearly crashing into Bryony whose knuckles were white on the handles.

Harri was behind her dragging a ...
