CHAPTER 1

The storm thundered.

The heavens cried. Rain came down pouring on anything and anyone.

Amy looked out of their hotel window. "Dan, I thought you said tonight would have clear skies."

"I was wrong. Actually, it was for the next couple of days." Dan replied.

Nellie, their au pair, as Dan would say, yelled across to them, "Kiddos, time to eat."

Dan ran to the kitchen. Amy stayed, wondering where the next clue would to be.

Suddenly, her thought of the next clue ran away being replaced by the memory that haunted her. The time when she, herself, fell for such a jerk, trusted a jerk, but in the end betraying her, trapping her in a cave with her brother and their not so reliable uncle in a cave.

Amy gave out a long sigh. None of those feelings for you were ever real, Amy. Snap out of it.

"Yo, kiddo," Nellie gave a wave, "time to eat."

She gave a smile realizing her thoughts made her forget about eating, "Yeah, I'm coming."

The rain pounded hard against the window. "Argh, I can't sleep! This-this rain!" Dan yelled rubbing his eyes.

Amy sat up, "Dweeb, shut up. Just plug your ears." She let out a groan. "Now, look! I can't sleep either."

"Might as well think about what will lead us to the next clue." Dan mumbled.

Silence remained, the chirping of the crickets were heard, and neither spoke a word.

Dan grumbled and frowned grumpily.

"D-dan, have you thought of anything?"

"ARGH!! I can't think!"

"Try using your brain, then."

"Well, dummy my brain right now is asleep."

She yawned. "Your complaints are annoying. Thank you for tiring me. Goodnight."

Amy layed back down and closed her eyes.

"F-fine, go to sleep. I won't wake you up tomorrow." Dan said.

A lot of twist and turns came from Dan struggling to sleep.

- - -

The morning wasn't as bright as it was a couple of days before. The sky was covered with gray clouds. It looked mournful and gloomy. The rain outside was sprinkling.

"It's raining for heaven's sake! I'll get wet! My-my clothes, my shoes! Ugh!" Natalie complained to her brother.

Ian didn't hear a word. He was to busy thinking about what he had done to her...

"Ian. IAN!"

He blinked and turned his head around. "Hmm?"

"Dear god, Ian. Stop spacing off into space and listen to me!"

Ian got annoyed."Please Natalie, stop complaining about your clothes! Just be happy you can still buy and change clothes! Unless... you like the idea of wearing the same clothes twice."

"Fine." Natalie mumbled, frowning.

She faced to her brother holding up a cup for the waitress to fill. "Our mission is to find were those filthy, orphaned Cahill siblings are going."

Ian looked out the window of the cafe they were in. He didn't like the idea of Natalie calling them filthy especially her ...

"Got it?" Natalie asked sipping a cup of coffee.

"Yes," Ian looked at her. "Natalie, why in the world are you drinking coffee? It contains caffeine."

She shrugged. "The waitress said it keeps sleep away. For the fact that I couldn't sleep last night because of wearing the same clothes twice, I've decided to try it."

He sighed. Oh, Amy. Will you ever forgive me?

- - -

Amy woke up to the sound of Dan using his ninja skills.

"Hi-YA! Uh ,uh ,uh!" Dan said using ninja moves.

She stood up and walked to the bathroom, brushed her hair and tied it up high, leaving a bit of hair to hang around her forehead.

Amy breathed. "Is Nellie awake yet, Dan?"

Dan was too busy playing ninja.

"DAN, IS NELLIE AWAKE!?"

"Uh, uh," Dan said turning around seeing that Nellie was up already, "Yeah,"

"Nellie, I'm going to a nearby library. Wanna, come?" Amy asked.

"Nope, I'll be going to buy some food for you guys." Nellie replied.

Dan piped up, "Nellie take me with you!"

"I'll go by myself then. Just meet me there. Bye."

Amy walked over to the nearest library.

"Hello, there. Welcome to the Abbey Wood Library. You seem new, do you need any help?" the librarian said with a British accent.

"Um, no thank you." Amy said with a smile.

Libraries made her feel safe, and the librarians were nice. She didn't even stutter around them.

"Ah, you're from the States?" the librarian asked noticing her non- British accent.

"Yes," she replied.

"Just ask if you need any help, okay?"

"Sure."

Amy continued walking down the aisles of books. She liked the smell of them.

Around the books, she knew she wasn't the stuttering, shy, can't- defend- herself Amy. 'Cause she knew she had the books with her. But, deep inside her she knew she was wrong.

"Books, books. Hmm."

She had picked out the book, Romeo and Juliet. She loved the passion of love they had for each other, but hated that it had to be tragic. Just like mine, except that he didn't love me and we didn't die… Never mind it's not even like mine.

But, it was just like hers. Tragic.

Amy sighed, but as she was about to turn and search somewhere else, someone put their hand on her shoulder and squeezed it lightly so she wouldn't walk away.

"Hello, love." The creamy voice said.

A/N:

*squeal* Yayyy!! End of first chapter.

How did you like it? Or did you even like it? Tell ME!

Guess who it iss! Eh, too easy. I asked my mom about hotels whether or not they had kitchens. She said it was depending on what kind of hotel it was. So, I just stuck to it. :\

About the library, I just chose which ever was first when I looked it up. And, it was the Abbey Wood Library. It's a cute name for a library. :]

Dan's ninja move sounds. Um, with the help of my cousin, I asked her what were some of the sounds they make. So, she came up with 'uh'. You know with the arms and hands too. (Isn't that what sound you make when doing karate?)

I talk too much. This may sound familiar with another one, but it's totally different. *nod nod*

I can't wait 'til the next chap! I appreciate criticisms. And, you may want to suggest what you would want to see in the next.

Is there anything wrong with this? The sentences ,grammar, how they talk, and etc. Please tell. I want to make this the best I can for you guys and for me.

I want at least 3, only 3, REVIEWS. Please.

Hope you liked it! :]
