Author's Note: Hey, fellow Clue-natics (come on, this name will catch on eventually). So, so sorry that I haven't been on the archive in ages; I've been preoccupied with various things. But since reading Nowhere to Run (no spoilers, but I loved it so, so, so much more than Day of Doom... okay, that's not saying much; point is, I enjoyed it a lot), I needed to write something 39 Clues related to get some of the insane fangirliness out of my system. And this popped into my head.
It's nothing much, just a random short piece which incorporates the titles, or parts of the titles, of all of the books up to this date (and the names of the second and third series). I thought of including all of the Rapid Fire titles, the Cahill Files, etc., but honestly, it was about 8 a.m. on a Monday when I wrote this (in about 5 minutes, might I add), and that means I was tired and lazy.
Anyway, this isn't exactly a masterpiece. Just something I did for fun. :)

When you're lost in the maze, with the bones of those that failed lying scattered all around you…
When one false step or move or note could send you over the brink, past the point from which you can't return again…
When your enemy slips in like a thief with his sword at your back, and there's no chance you could face it alone…
When you're far beyond what you ever thought you could handle, and you fear that it could send you into an early grave…
When the circle of ones you called friends no longer holds any protection for you, and it all starts to fade to black…
When you're in too deep, and your problems inundate your life until you feel like you're drowning…
When you're in the viper's nest and think that you must become a viper, too, to survive…
When everyday things seem suddenly written in code, and you know you can never go back to the way things used to be…
When you're caught in the eye of the storm without warning…
When your enemy has thrown down the gauntlet…
When a new threat is rising...
We are Cahills.
We fight. We plot. We think. We create.
Over the years, we have squabbled amongst ourselves, held each other for ransom, and stabbed each other in the back.
But now, as the dead of night falls on us, we must come together as family.
Family is not shatterproof. But it is fixable.
They said to trust no one, and we proved them right—but trust can be repaired, and bonds can be mended.
As the day dawns when the world is crashing all around us, and we face certain doom, we will stand tall, strong, proud—together.
We are Cahills, and we are Unstoppable.
Mess with one of us, and you're messing with all of us. And if you do that, there will be nowhere to run.

Author's Note: Seriously- if anyone else has already read NtR, let me know so we can fangirl together. XD
Also, again, sorry for my long absence from the archives; between school, personal stuff, and my Hunger Games fic, I just haven't had much time and/or brain-space to go on here. However, you know how much I love reading 39 Clues fanfics, especially after reading a new book when I'm in the mood to fangirl, so if you want me to read anything of yours or have a suggestion for someone else's fic that you really enjoyed, feel free to shoot me a PM about it.
And I mean it: Clue-natics. Spread the word! XD
