Chapter 20: A horrible beginning

It had been three days since Cindy died so today was the funeral for her. Everyone in the P.S.F.P.U.S.A. was there including the gang, Cindy's ex-parents and even the gang's parents.

The gang had gotten their parents to come over the day after Cindy died and the gang explained to their parents the truth about Cindy's life for the past five years surprising them all but were once again saddened to hear that Cindy was dead.

Everyone just sat there all mourning over the lose of their greatest P.S.F.P.U.S.A. agent, knowing that she would be missed by all and they paid their deepest respects to her by wearing black. Not a single piece of coloured clothing was worn through the hundreds of people who softly wept for their friend.

"This isn't right." Libby softly said as she looked at her deceased friend.

"You're right. It isn't not after we were so close." Jimmy whispered with another tear trailing down his cheek but he didn't bother wiping it away but he brought his attention to the speaker.

"Cindy was a beautiful girl who we'll all miss. Would you like to say a few words Jade?" The Commander asked trying to smile but was failing at it.

Jade nodded and walked up to the podium. "A months ago I would've never in my life get up and speak at Cindy's funeral but after our last mission, we soon saw each other as human beings and we became really good friends." Jade took a deep breath before speaking again.

"We were soon preparing ourselves for college but unfortunately you all know that Cindy, Claire & I were kidnapped by the R.L.F.A. and when we came back, everyone soon discovered that we were twin sisters! I'm sure that when everyone discovered this shocking truth, I'm sure Cindy was in the same room as us and it hurts knowing that if we knew where she was in the first place instead of wasting so much valuable time looking for her... then maybe I wouldn't be standing here today."

Jade wore sad smile on her face as she thought about what she said and opened a folded piece of paper and took another deep breath.

"I'd like to read a poem that I wrote in honor of Cindy. It's called: Who will."

"Another day has seemed to have arrived

You are not theremaking me sosurprised

You can't be gone and it's not right

The pain of the truth Itried to fight

But I knew that it was impossiblefor the pain didn't change

The feeling that I have is so strange

Instead of anger & hate

It was now of believing that it was fate

But I don't want to accept this scared

To ask the questions and get the answers only you bared

Likewho will give me days of sun & days of rain?

Days of joy & days of pain?

Who will be there to bug me & help?

Steal my stuff to make me yelp?

But most importantly, who will be there to be my best friend?

I know the answer and it'll be no one

AndI will let itstay that way until the end."

When Jade finished she looked over to her sister and gave a small smile. "I love you, Cindy and I wish that I had told you sooner, sister." Jade gave Cindy a kiss on the cheek before walking back to her seat, then the Commander walked back up to the podium.

"That was... beautiful Jade and I'm sure that Cindy would agree. The private burial will now commence so please feel free to head to the after reception and we will join with soon." Everyone got up and left except for all those closest to Cindy. They had all said their words & good-byes except for Jimmy & Jenny and Jimmy was about to say something until Jenny spoke.

"You know what? It hurts knowing that Cindy didn't die a peaceful death. Instead it was a slow and agonising one." Jenny sadly said wiping away a tear down her cheek.

"I didn't get to ask this earlier on, but how did you realise where Cindy was?" Libby asked making Jenny take out a folded piece of paper which everyone recognised as the front cover of the magazine Jenny was holding onto when she made her discovery of Cindy's whereabouts.

"When I saw it I noticed a few drops of blood on it, so I just presumed that it was her." Jenny simply said after giving it to Libby so that she could look at it.

"You're a bright young girl, Jenny and I know that you'll do well as a P.S.F.P.U.S.A. agent. Cindy would be so proud of you, I know I am and your mother." The Commander softly said making Jenny smile.

"Thanks Commander."

"Jenny please call me David. Hell, everyone can!"

Everyone smiled and they all looked at Cindy as she laid there peacefully in her casket. She was dressed in jeans with a red crossover, sleeveless silk top and zip-up, high-heeled boots made of red leather.

Her hair had been first crinkled then put into a braid that was being held up by the red band that she wore the day that she died.

It hurt Jimmy to see that a few days ago Cindy's face was covered with her own blood but it had now been washed away and replaced with make-up of red lipstick, cotton-candy eye shadow and heavy massacre making her incredibly beautiful & so peaceful.

Just like Sleeping Beauty in some strange way but only prettier.

But it scared Jimmy because she was dressed exactly like that in his nightmares and now it had come true.

"I love you, Cindy. I'm just sorry you had to find it out too late." Jimmy softly whispered in Cindy's ear before kissing her cheek making the carriers wait a bit longer but they understood.

"Wait!" Jenny said as the coffin was about to be closed, the men held it open and they watched in sadness as they saw the youngest of the group say her final words.

"You're the best friend a girl could ever have. When I first became apart of the P.S.F.P.U.S.A., no one talked to me and I was all alone but you became my first ever real friend and you were always there for me. Thank you for that and in some crazy way before anyone ever found out that we were sisters, I already felt it deep inside. Good bye Cindy, I hope that we can meet again and take this necklace as a reminder until then." Jenny said and took her golden locket off for the first time in her life and put it around Cindy's neck.

"Jenny, your locket! You're gonna give it away?" Carl asked.

"Yeah so that Cindy will always remember who her family is and that we'll always love her."

"But why not get another locket instead?" Sheen asked.

"All my life whenever I had felt scared or lost or lonely, I'd always look inside the locket to remind myself that somewhere, some place, my family was waiting for me. All I had to do was find the path, it was a way of therapy but now that I've finally found my family, I know that I don't need it anymore. Besides I've replaced the pictures!"

"What are the pictures?" Nick asked.

"Sorry Nick but the secret of those pictures will be held to my grave." Jenny said and everyone nodded the understanding.

The coffin was closed and picked up by the men to Cindy's final resting place. The group watched as the saw Cindy's coffin go deeper and deeper into her grave, everyone then watched as it was filled with the earth that Cindy would rest in forever and no one said anything.

When it was done everyone said their final words again and placed their flowers onto Cindy's gravestone. All walked away when they knew that the burial ceremony was over and they went back inside the reception area.

A gentle breeze made the flowers softly sway against the words they were laid before.

Here lies Cynthia

Devoted agent, friend,

Especially her friends

Epilogue:

"Hurry up Lou, you idiot. We've only got an hour before the security guard wakes up and realises we here!" A Russian man whispered to his partner named Lou as they and five other Russian men quickly crept through the cemetery of where P.S.F.P.U.S.A. agents rested after their departure.

"Well sooooorry Jack for me being a bit freaked out about walking through a cemetery of our enemies at midnight!" Lou spat out.

"Don't worry we won't be here for too long as a matter of a fact, here we are!" Jack pointed out to the group of a gravestone.

"Cindy Vortex! You mean we have to dig out the girl who was responsible for the fall of the R.L.F.A.?" Lou asked disgusted at their job.

"Hey boss' orders. So everybody start digging up, we've only got forty-five minutes left!" Jack ordered and the others listened to their commanding officer's orders.

"So please tell me again why we're digging up some dead chick?" Lou asked.

"For the fifth fucking time, she is NOT dead!" Jack slowly said for Lou to get the message.

"But how can that be? I heard she died due to coughing up too much blood!"

"Well she died cough up a hell of a lot of blood but we managed to just get it to the right amount of level so the doctors thought that she was dead."

"How were we able to do it when we were thousands of kilometres away?"

"Thanks to this little device here." Jack happily said while waving a small, silver remote-looking device.

"How powerful is it?"

"Well you know the day that where Miss Vortex didn't recognise one of her friends and ended up attacking him?"

"Yeah..."

"Well that was thanks to a little device we planted into the back of her neck a few days before we were able to make her think that we were the good guys and that P.S.F.P.U.S.A. was the enemy."

"So basically when you activate the chip with that remote of yours, we can control Vortex's thoughts & emotions?"

"You got it."

"So she's like a robot then?"

"Yes except she is human but we can control her mind and give her memories that she thinks that are real but they never happened. We can make her do anything that we please and she would never be able to refuse."

"But what about when Vortex refused to kill that agent? You know, Claire Lions?"

"We have no clue how that happened, must of been a programming error but we've updated now so all chances of resistance is impossible."

"What are we going to do with the girl when we get her out of here?"

"Simple. We take her to the boss and he'll take it from there."

"I don't get it though. If Vortex is alive how is it physically possible for her to survive being in a coffin for two days?"

"Well with the chip we can also control Miss Vortex's health, like making her cough up blood and the chip made her look like she was dead because the health monitors showed no sign of life, when in truth the machines can't pick up her true life signs. So basically you can't pick up any life signs to see if she really is alive or dead unless you have this remote. At the moment we've put her in eternal sleep-mode which will last for three days. The mode will keep her asleep which will make her be able to survive some of the toughest conditions!"

"But I heard that Vortex died because she was on important medication and had gone without it for an hour causing her to cough up blood."

"Yes that's what everyone thinks but in truth, she could've survived three hours without it. So do you finally understand now Lou?"

"Yes Jack, I finally understand but I want to know why we made everyone think that Vortex is now dead?"

"So that she'll become a R.L.F.A. agent without anyone knowing who she really is."

"Faking her death? That's the oldest trick in the book!"

"Yep and it works every time!"

"But didn't she fake her death to become a P.S.F.P.U.S.A. agent and when we kidnapped her we told that Neutron kid that she really was dead?"

"Yes but now this time P.S.F.P.U.S.A. & her friends think that she's really dead."

"That is so stupid! I mean fucking hell that's so stupid! They're bound to figure out that our new agent is actually their agent."

Before Jack could reply the diggers announced that they got the coffin and when they opened it Jack smiled at the body that lied inside.

"Don't worry Lou. Not even she will able to know who she is." Jack replied to his friend as he looked at the beautiful but deadly blonde eighteen-year-old agent laying peacefully before the men who would have so much in store for her.

And the horrible beginning starts.

AN: I was going to update this a few days later but after reading meeeeeeeeandmyshadow's review... well I knew I had to update this quickly but onto more important things: I've finally finished this fanfic! YAY!

Don't worry everyone the fanfic will not end like this but I think I'll have a few months off, it'll probably be published on the same day as I published this story. So I'll start preparing for the sequel because I have no clue what will happen.

In the sequel though you get to see what Cindy's life was like when she had first became an agent and the hardships she went through.

So in case any of you guys are confused with what has happened I'll properly explain it: Cindy is not dead but all of her friends & family thinks that she is. She will become a R.L.F.A. agent because she has no memory of who she is and will become an enemy the P.S.F.P.U.S.A.!

I hoped everyone liked it and I'm sorry for my crappie poem that I wrote. Trust me, I write very good poems but some how that one wasn't as great as I thought it was but that's just me so give me your opinion on how you felt about it.

Also I like to say to titanfan that I'm very sorry you didn't get to read the last chapter like I said you would but when I sent it I got a reply a while later saying you wouldn't be able to open the files or maybe you were able to but I don't know. Once again I'm sorry because I felt really bad about that.

Thank you for the support everyone over the months because you guys had inspired me so much with this fanfic and I am satisfied with the way it turned out so once again thank you! Good bye everybody and just know that I'm not giving up on the story it's just that I've finished the first part.

Keep safe and hear from all of you soon! Love, Water-Star.
