This first chapter is A/U as I didn't read the book properly - and I'm too lazy to change it... If A/U annoys you, it's only this chapter - feel free to skip to the next one!

Lin Feng lay dead next to her, blood spreading under him, when Raven felt the tiniest of stings in her arm, spinning around, and ripping out the needle, she saw armed men looking at her with fear in their eyes…

I felt a sting in my arm, I spun around, feeling something burning. Ripping out the needle, I looked up and saw a sight that made my blood run cold. The man who I hated more than any other had sent his men. Furan's men. I launched an attack on them, my other blade singing through the air. I connected with flesh, and three lifeless bodies fell to the floor, like a jenga tower gone wrong. The other two men reached for their tranquilizer darts. I felt a small sense of satisfaction as they realised that their plans were going wrong. I slashed out, and the barrels of their guns fell to the floor, followed by their bodies. I turned on the other men already lunging towards them, when I felt a burning sensation in my head. My hand started to sheath my blade, and I couldn't tell it not to. I tried to move my feet, yet they remained planted on the ground. I cursed Furan in my mind, how could he do this? My control on life was slipping, I could still see, but I was no longer in control. I was a passenger in my own mind.

My body smiled at the three men standing in the rooms. They wore looks of relief, but yet there was a look of triumph. I wished that I had been more vigilant when I entered the room. How could I have missed them? Furan's men left the room, dragging the bodies, and I wondered why. Chief Lewis wandered in, and I sheathed the other blade. I was relieved that I killed Lin Feng, but I wondered now if that was a fatal mistake.

"Took your time chief." I said, knowing that he had responded as quickly as he could.

"Everything looks OK", he said with a relieved sigh.

"Looks like Nero was right about him.'

"He died a traitor's death," I said, worried what I was about to do. I felt my mind racing, as I felt the adrenaline build. I looked over Chief Lewis' shoulder.

"I just wish he'd been quick enough to stop him before he killed you."

Inside my head I fought a vicious battle with my mind, trying to stop myself. My hands reached out, and broke his neck. I kicked out inside of my virtual prison, trying to rewind the minutes. How could I do this? Chief Lewis was a great man, and yet I had just killed him. How and why was this happening?

My body stepped over to the terminal, letting go of the body, it falling lifelessly to the floor. I had done this many times before, so why was it now haunting me? Why did I just want to curl up in a ball and cry, like I was 13 years old? I typed commands into the keyboard, and a message popped up.

EXTERNAL DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS DEACTIVATED. ALL REMOTE ACCESS TO H.I.V.E. MIND BLOCKED.

I gasped inwardly, shocked at what I had done. My body pulled a handset from my harness, saying the words I hoped I would never utter.

"This is Raven. H.I.V.E.'s defenses are offline. You may begin your attack."

At that moment, I realized that this was not just an attack on H.I.V.E., it was an attack on me…

Please review! Constructive criticism would be great!


Chapter 2: Chapter 2


A/N Sorry that this is so short, in around two days a long chapter will be uploaded! (I lost my book, so sorry I haven't updated for a while!)

I knew I had done something terribly wrong, when I started jogging towards the classrooms. Not just any classrooms. The ones that Otto and Wing were in. How do I know this? Let's just say I need to keep an eye on them.

What was happening to me? I knew that I had been injected with a black substance, but I wasn't sure what it was. It seemed hauntingly familiar, yet I could not place why.

The wail of sirens jolted me back to reality, and the trouble I was in. I hit the buzzer on the door to the science lab. The lab door hissed open, and my body walked in. What was I going to do next? I knew it wasn't good.

"Malpense, Fanchu, Dexter, Trinity, Brand, with me." I barked. Why was I being so irritated?

"Professor, keep the rest of the students here. The school is under attack."

'Because of me,' I thought miserably as the group of student's walked over. They were virtually powerless against me, not even Wing could overpower me, and my body knew that. Whatever the substance was it had made me stronger, yet I was still just a passenger. I hoped with all my heart that someone would sense that something was up, and help me. I hated being helped, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to help myself.

"Where are we going?" Otto asked as my body ushered them out into the corridor, wishing that I knew the answer myself.

"To a secure area." I replied, just as irritated. "I'll explain everything when we get there. Now move!"

'Someone had better do something quickly, otherwise things will go downhill very very quickly.' I thought as we jogged towards the gunfire.

Constructive criticism would be great!
