2023?
I woke up in my gym's floor. The last thing I remember is being training in here, and that's it. I got up and looked around, everything was like I remembered, no one entered without permission. I went to the TV that is in the living room, it was still on. Something that confused me was when I looked at the date, 2023?, how is that possible?. My first instinct was to go see Yelena, so I took my things and got out of my gym.
I arrived to our house, it wasn't really big but its perfect for us, Alexei and Melina. I don't really talk with the last two, but Yelena is like a sister to me, it was the only one who was there for me after the destruction of the Red Room, along with Natasha, but she went back to America not long after.
I knock on the door, but no one answered so I decided to enter, I took my weapon out, just in case something has happened. I kick the door and entered. I look for Yelena with my gun still held high, it doesn't look like someone is here, but I can hear a faint sound from the kitchen, an ordinary person wouldn't have heard it, but being trained by the KGB has it advantages. I can see Yelena coming out from the kitchen with a gun also held high, which lowers when she sees me, as well as me.
With just a look I can see she is as confused as me, we tell each other what we know and after a minute, we know what we have to do: Go look for Natasha.
- You know that is going to be complicated, there they are looking for us much more than here - I said, and I wasn't lying
- I know, but if we want to know what happened, that's the only option, Nadya - she answered
I knew she was right but it's still really dangerous for us to go there. They are looking for us more in the USA then here in Russia, and that's a lot to say. Why? Well, for a simple reason, the KGB, they always sent us to kill people of power, it used to be politicians that in any way were threatening Russia's plans, and that couldn't happened according to them. They, obviously, couldn't get their hands dirty, so the sent simple and innocents little girls to do their dirty work. The normal thing to do would be go to the place, find the target, seduce them, get them to invite you to their house and kill them. That's how it was for all the girls, except me. Because of my age, I wasn't supposed to go to missions, but according to them I was ready, that's why the changed my missions and targets. First, I studied the target: routines, directions, family, jobs, everything I could get my hands on and that way it was easier to kill without raising suspicions. Then, plan an excuse for their sudden disappearance, depending on the person, it could be a trip, moving or just suicide, sometimes we could blame another person. The most important thing according to Madame B was always stay in the shadows and don't rase suspicions, and I never did, until they arrived.
- Nadya! - Yelena brought me out of my thoughts - pack your bags, we leave tomorrow, okay? -
- Okay, but if we get killed it's not my fault - I answered sarcastically
- ha, ha, ha, real funny - she said mockingly rolling her eyes - go pack, and no weapons I don't want problems -
- What? - I asked in disbelief - you know I never go out without my weapons -
- Look Nadya, I get you, I don't like the idea either, but we don't want problems, and if in order to not get in trouble we have to leave our weapons here, we leave them, understood? - she said
- Understood - I whisper, even though I still disagreed
I went to pack, but I didn't really know what to put in the bag, I didn't have anything to pack, all my clothes got burned in the fire. The clothes I always wear are from Yelena or stolen, and I don't think Yelena would agree with me stealing a stranger's clothes, so I decided to go to her closet and take her clothes. When I had all pack in the bag, Yelena appeared through the door
- Do you have everything? - she asked me
- Yes, you? - I answered
- Yes, although I don't have much more clothes, since you have stole most of it - she replied seriously, although I could see she was trying to hide a smile
- It isn't my fault that all my clothes were put on fire - I said trying not to sound sad
- You know I don't mind you taking my clothes, I was just joking - she tried to comfort me
- I'm fine - I simply said, while I hide all the emotions in my face, until there was no emotion at all
- Okay, we leave tomorrow early - Yelena said, but I could see her disappointment with me for not being able to open up with her
When we had everything ready we went to bed. I didn't sleep much, since every time I closed my eyes I saw it, I saw how the house was on fire with them inside, how the took me away again and how I couldn't save them. How everything was falling apart because of me.
