Red Widow

During languages and world affairs class Madame B began to get very mad at two girls and within the blink of an eye two bullets were fired  and our class was down to 18 widows.

I looked down at my hands and fidgeted with them whilst I spoke Italian, we were copying the film on the board, that's how we learned, that and fear.

At the end of class, we exited through the large double doors on the left of the room and went out into the terrace which looked down onto the atrium where you could see the ballet studio and thew shooting range.

I looked down with curiosity really wishing I hadn't after I saw they guy who took girls back and he was walking around touching all the girls and it lit a fire inside of me.

That shouldn't happen even in this hell hole of a place. I began to walk with speed confidence and anger when I felt hands wrap around my arms restraining me from walking.

I turned around and something seemed familiar but I shook it off as just a memory coming back to haunt me. I half fell into the guards arms and  that was when I felt a needle in my neck and I knew I was going somewhere because whenever we left or returned, we were sedated so we could keep the location quiet within the outside world.

I felt my body being dragged along the floor as I woke up.

I felt my chest getting tight and my hands and feet going numb, I was panicking as I woke up.

I heard familiar voices, they sounded like Natasha and Yelena I couldn't muster any words due to the drug.

All I could do was whistle so I did, I got a reply and I knew I was safe for the moment.

As I began to wake up over the next few hours, I saw familiar red hair and some lovely blonde locks sat with me and I said "thank you for saving me, where are the other girls?" I frantically ask and in return I get some rather sad looks

"Anastasia we couldn't just barge in there and take over 50 girls, you have to understand"

"But we are going back for them right" I ask

"The red room has gone off the grid because we were in there but rumour has it that it is in the Netherlands" Natasha replies

"When are we going to The Netherlands then?" I quiz

They both gave me that look and Yelena said "we have to leave it at least a month"

That sentence broke me

I just got up and left I couldn't make Sofia wait a month, she has already waited 14 years for this however I was locked in my own room because everyone already had the idea before me and prevented me from going to save them.

I heard a knock at my door, "who is it?" I said through my gritted teeth

"its Yelena sweetie" was replied through the door

"then go away" I replied

"No, we are talking about this" I turned away as she began talking "you know when I was in the red room, I completed 45 missions in my time I killed hundreds of innocent people, including the one who saved me, on a mission to retrieve the package I fought her, I used a knife and stabbed her in the stomach she died there but before she did, she used the red dust on me she used the mind control antidote on me, and I killed her. We all go through a lot when we leave there, if you wait then we can save everyone else."

In the next few weeks, we beagn training more whilst also finding the location until one day we did, that day became my favrioute day, I finally had the opportunity to save my friends.
