Chapter Six.
Sophia brushed back her hair from her face, her beautiful eurasian features covered in dirt and liquid. She was about to pour the potion she was concocting into the other vial of liquid, but was interuppted by a knock at the door. "Oh, um, oops." She said as she accidently dripped a bit of the acidy fluid onto her carpet, burning a hole in it.
"Who could that be?" She mused as she ran for the door.
**********
I looked at the girl who had opened the door. She was very pretty, and about my height, (Thank goodness, I had started to feel like midget.), with dark brown straight hair which was all in a mess, and she was wearing a type of lab coat, which was covered in who knows what. She blinked at us. "Hi." She said.
Maya walked in front of us. "Hello Sophia."
Sophia suddenly stopped looking so confused. "Oh! Hi Maya! I didn't know you were coming, should I call my Mother for you?"
"No, no. Me and my friends hear would like to speak to you."
*************
"So you want me to join a group that's going to take down queen Erynn?" She said, pacing around the room.
Maya nodded. "Yes. They would need someone with your brains, and your age."
I looked at her. "How old are you?"
"I'm sixteen. And I will admit, I am pretty smart."
"How modest." I heard Luke mutter. She suddenly looked sorry. "Oh, sorry! I shouldn't say things like that, dang, I'm so bad at remembering that!"
I tried to repress my grin. She seemed pretty cool. "So...are you in?" I asked.
She looked at me. "Well, I would have to finish my project..." She said smiling.
"Who could that be?" She mused as she ran for the door.

"So Sophia-"
"Call me Sophie."
"Sophie. You sure you want to do this?" I asked for about the third time.
She grinned at me. "Yeah. I'm heaps nervous, and I'm not sure if I would be much help on the battle field, but yeah."
"Don't worry." Nessa said. "You can't be any less hopeless than I would be, I've never even held a sword that isn't made of plastic."
"And I'm useless unless it comes to archery." I supplied.
Luke looked at Alan. "Please don't tell me your hopeless too."
Alan looked thoughtful. "I think I'm good. It's the pointy end of the sword you stab people with, right?"
Luke did a facepalm while the rest of us laughed.
Maya smiled. "Okay, well you all need to be prepared, so how about you start tommorow morning."
"Wait." I said. "I'm still not entirely sure on what we are doing."
"It's simple." Luke said. "We take down her out posts one by one, get rid of the people that work closest to her-"
"Who are just as evil as her-"
"Yes, and then when we've done that, we keep travelling until we reach her castle, and then we kill her."
"That easy, huh?" I said, trying to smile, trying to hide the fact that I wanted to throw up.
"Call me Sophie."
