Hi people! This is my second story and it's really just a random idea I had. I've never seen another story like this for the Gallagher Girls, so I decided to be original. It may seem a little confusing at first, but I'm sure it will get clearer. I don't know their exact ages, so don't get mad if I get something wrong. As Spongebob says, use your IMAGINATION. So here it goes!
By the way, I don't own Gallagher Girls.
Everyone has stories. Love stories, adventure stories, tragic stories, happy stories. The thing is, though, you usually only get one side of a story.
Every girl spy ever to walk the halls of Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women knows the story of Gillian Gallagher and how she killed Ioseph Cavan, the founder of the Circle of Cavan, with his own sword. They stare at the sword and praise Gillian for being so brave. But these girls don't know the whole story. They only know a part.
If these girls were to know the whole story, they'd have a harder time picking sides. It's not so easy to find a good guy and a bad guy when you don't know the whole story.
That's why I'm here. I have made it my responsibility to reveal the entire story of Gillian Gallagher and Ioseph Cavan. In the end, it is your decision who you want to side with, if you want to take a side at all. Because in life, there are three sides of a story: the presumed good guy, the presumed bad guy, and the truth. When the truth comes out, no one will think the same. Questions from the past will be asked, questions I am prepared to answer.
At this moment, you ask yourself, 'Who is this person? Why does this person think that they know the truth? How can we trust them?' Truthfully, you don't know if you can trust me, and you never will. My identity is classified. It cannot be known. All you can know is that I was once a great spy, but I dug too far into the past. My enemies came for me and tried to destroy me, hoping that the knowledge I held would die with me. But I eluded them and managed to escape. Now I shall tell you what I learned in hope that this data will not be erased before someone has a chance to read it and spread the news. Here is the story. The true story.
October, 1844- Roseville, Virginia-
"Come on, Seph!" screamed Gilly. "I thought you said you were fast!"
Seph ran as fast as he could, trying to keep up with Gilly. "I am fast!" he said breathlessly. "Just not as fast as you!"
Gilly laughed. Running through the grass always made her feel calm and free. Having Seph there with her was even better.
Gillian Gallagher was 12 years old. She lived with her mother and father in a large white house on top of a small hill. They were the richest family in all of Virginia, and Gilly could have anything she wanted. And she hated every minute of it.
Gilly loved to run. She was a wild, courageous child who loved to fight with the neighboring boys and play swords with sticks. She did all of the things that her parents told her wasn't proper for a young lady. That included playing with Seph.
Ioseph Cavan was 13 years old, and, unlike Gilly, he was an orphan. He lived in the small room above Gilly's horse stables and worked as a stable boy for the Gallaghers. This wasn't too bad for him because he loved horses. He could spend an entire day brushing and feeding and playing with them. They were his babies.
Because Seph was a poor stable boy, Gilly's parents didn't think it was proper that the two play together. Despite their wishes, Gilly and Seph were best friends. They loved to run in the fields surrounding Gilly's house together. They would run in circles and spread their arms out wide, pretending they were birds that could fly away from their lives at any moment. Right now, though, they were doing something else.
"Hurry up," Gilly called impatiently. "I want to show you before its dark." Gilly continued to run, faster than someone would think a girl in a hoopskirt could. After a few more minutes of running, she stopped on the crest of a hill.
Seph caught up eventually and stopped next to Gilly. What he saw spread out below him took his breath away. "Whoa," he said, his eyes wide in surprise.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Gilly asked. Below them, a vast forest covered everything in sight. The trees were all different colors- red, orange, yellow, brown, and green. A crystal blue river wound its way between the trees and disappeared behind the western mountains in the distance. The sun could be seen slowly setting behind the mountains. It was the most beautiful thing either child had ever seen.
"Yes," Seph answered. "It is beautiful." Gilly sighed and sat down. When Seph sat down next to her, she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Promise me that when we're older we'll get away from here," she said.
Seph looked at her. "What do you mean?"
"I want to go exploring. I want to see the world." She looked at him. "But only if I can do it with you."
Seph looked away from her. "I don't think your parents would approve of that, Gilly."
Gilly stood up, suddenly angry. "Well, who says we need their approval! They can't tell me what to do if they can't find me." She had an idea. "We should runaway together. Then we can do whatever we want, with no one there to stop us."
Seph smiled sadly. "I wish we could, Gills. But I don't have any money."
"I do, though!"
"I can't let you spend your money on me. You know that, Gilly."
Gilly sighed. "I guess you're right." She sat back down next to him and once again rested her head on his shoulder. "But can you just promise me something?"
"What?"
"Promise me that no matter what, we'll always be together. We won't ever betray each other or leave. We'll stick together no matter what happens and no matter who tries to keep us apart. Promise me."
Seph smiled at the setting sun and put his arm across Gilly's back, pulling her in closer to him. "I promise, Gilly. I promise."
Unfortunately, most promises are made to be broken.
Hope you guys liked it! Like I said, this is just a random idea so I won't be totally devastated if you don't like it. Please review and tell me your opinions!
