Chapter 1: At the Airport
Undisclosed location, 2 days ago
"Marienne, you are to escort the incoming Madrigals to their places. From the airport, you are to watch over them." Fiske tells me. I'm being mission-logged for the return of the other Cahills at the Camp. Well, most of them are coming back. You see, the only ones who don't know about "it" are Amy and Dan, Fiske's own grandchildren. Yup, the Amy and Dan Cahill.
"After all the Cahills have been brought to Camp, we will have a little chat and have the big reveal to Amy and Dan." he further explains. I, a fifteen-year old girl, am on a balcony in a very beautiful beach resort, looking to the sunset. I am focusing both my attention to Fiske as he relays the mission and as I try capture the sunset's color on my pinkie flame.
"Do you understand the gravity of this mission, Artemis Minerva?" he asks me, as if I wasn't listening.
I turned to him, knowing that my pinkie has achieved the sunset's orange perfectly and my hair was showing my true luster. "Of course, Uncle Fiske. Wait, am I allowed to use my powers whenever necessary?"
"Sure Minerva." he says as he disappears.
I stood there with full enjoyment. Time to greet the Cahills. But first...
"Hello? Are you doing well in your vacation madam?" Keith, my butler, asks curiously.
"Yes, but the vacation's over. Time to go to another mission." I say to him with full contempt.
"Ah yes. When should I come over and fetch you?"
"Immediately." I say as I go to my room and pack my things as fast as I could.
-o-o-o-o-o-o- Be prepared for the worst when it comes -o-o-o-o-o-o-
At the airport in Manila, 3:30 am |As the maid Holly
I'm already here in the airport, in full disguise of course. Wearing a maid outfit with a short black-colored wig with a red clip on top, I waited as the luggage rolled by. I need to get all of Ian's and Natalie's luggage and load them onto the limousine before they could get in.
After a few minutes of almost losing my composure in the middle of a public airport and having to make sure to get a lot of ice packs after this, I waited. Good thing Natalie loaded, or fully-loaded, only 5 strolleys this time. Ian was, as usual, carrying 2, with his laptop bag. I waited by listening to some music by using my earrings.
After listening to only one song, I spot Ian and Natalie come over this way. I then rushed over to them using the flame.
"Good morning Sir Ian, Madam Natalie. Welcome once again to the Philippines." I say courteously to them as I dissipated my 'fast flame'.
"Well, good morning indeed Holly. Nice to see you again." Ian says. Phew, he didn't notice a thing. Neither Natalie.
"Are we in a public airport again ?" Natalie snaps.
"Unfortunately, yes Natalie, we are in an airport so not to arouse suspicion. I have also loaded all your bags to the limousine as requested." I explain to them. "But, Natalie, it is not very crowded. Good thing you are here
"Ahem? Holly, how many times do I have to tell you it's madame Natalie?"
"Sorry, Madame Natalie . Anyways, where to now? Cebu? Palawan?"
"Nope. To the Shapeshifter's Mansion. And make it snappy." Ian says in his usual dignified voice he usually addresses around maids, or so I'm told. "Yes Ian."
I direct them over to the limousine and opened the door for them. As usual, Natalie was overdrowning Ian in a discussion concerning me and not calling Ian 'Sir'. "By the way, you may experience a lot of traffic jams here. Remember, Manila airports are like New York streets when in season." I reminded them.
"Will do. Gordringer, Shapeshifter's Mansion and make it snappy." I hear Ian say as they sped off under the early morning sky. Usual Ian. Being so formal and neat before seeing his 'love' once again. Ah, how I love being as sneaky and deceptive as they are...
"Fiske? The torches have been handed down. Who's next?" I say to my necklace, which has a microphone.
"Jonah. Get ready. He may be mobbed before he could have come out of there." he says, with a distant chuckle.
"Oh very funny. He's not that famous around here, I tell you." I reminded him as I rolled my eyes.
-o-o-o-o-o- You may never know what or who would you expect -o-o-o-o-o-
Once again in the airport, 4:15 am| As lead guitarist of 'Fire Dragons', Christina Flores
"Yo, Flores! Nice seein' ya around here!" Jonah says as he goes down his usual private jet, with his face stickered at its side. I'm now wearing jeans, a shirt and my favorite light brown jacket. Strapped to my back is a guitar and my hair is tied into a pony, showing most of my feminine features.
"Hey Jonah. Um, didn't I tell you that I'm from around here?" I asked him.
"Oh...um, right. Sorry." he says. "Wait, where's the usual press around here? Are they late or something?"
"Nope. Jonah, I'm sorry to tell you, but you're not that famous from around here." I tell him as I felt sorry for him. "What?" he asks, both confused and utterly disgraced.
"Jonah, next time, try doing a tour around the world that would include the Philippines. Charice's going to step over if you don't, not that it's a bad thing." I suggested.
"Sure, sure." he says as he goes toward his car. He goes in. "Hey, aren't you with your dad most of the time?" I ask him curiously.
"Nope. He's managing my next album tour around the States." he says.
"Oh, well, I've got to go. Our band's going to hav e a record deal in the US, wish me luck!"
"Sure! Good luck with that, guitar girl!" he cheers.
Jonah Wizard, check. Now, who's next?
"Sir Fiske? Is there anyone else I should be 'fetching'?" I asked into my necklace.
"Nope. Apparenly the other Cahills have already been staying here ever since the clue hunt was over. So, you can come back here."
"Thank goodness. I thought I would have to endure—wait, could I stay here a little longer?"
"Why?"
"I want to see Amy and Dan for myself. Is that okay?"
"Sure."
My heart leaped for joy. "Yeah! They're coming, they're totally coming!" I shouted, then covered my mouth. "Oops. I shouldn't have said that out loud. But then, I am at an airport. Good thing this one isn't that crowded, or I'm going to be embarrassed."
I then ran toward the girls' room and changed in my normal Philippine outfit. Amy and Dan have no friends over here in the Philippines. I have a slight advantage. I then thought of myself as a firefly and 'flew' myself out of here and into the lobby. I think I spotted them coming through this way...
How's that! I dedicate this entire story to the woman who started it all, The Cahill-Demigod Witch! She's such an awesome writer, I tell you that. Another thing I haven't told you, her story was one of the first ones I was 'hooked' on.
Please read and review!
fieryjunior35, burning with passion!
