No One's Pov. OOOOOOOOOOO
Samantha ran over to Dee's aid. This surprised the Flamels, the 'twins,' Scathach, Joan (who finally came out of her room), and Saint-Germain. Through the rubble, she found him on top of some bricks. "You ok, Dee?" she asked, looking him over. He gave her a 'Do I look ok?' look. "I meant are you going to live?" Dee nodded. Samantha helped him to his feet by slinging his arm over her shoulder.
No one could get a clear shot without hitting Samantha. Scathach was totally okay with hitting her, but the Flamels stopped her.
"I'm ok. We have to get out if here," Dee demanded. He began to pull at her, but she pulled back stopping him.
"Wait. What's going on?"
"I can't explain right now. Do you trust me?"
"Without question."
Dee smiled and realized he had just asked what Nicholas had asked the twins not a week ago. "Then let's go," he said. He began pulling at her again, and this time she didn't pull back. As they were running, Samantha looked back at the strange group. They held their fire, stayed still, and didn't shoot anything at them.
Samantha decided to break free of Dee's grasp once they were upon the orphanage. "No, hon. We're going somewhere else." Samantha opened her mouth to protest. "Do you trust me?" he asked for the second time today. Samantha nodded. "Good, because we're going somewhere that I will need your complete and unquestioned trust."
"I trust you: yes. I'm going somewhere else: no. Sorry, dear," she said, tilting her in sorrow. Her Italian accent was showing when she said that. She looked around to see if the group had followed them, they didn't from what she saw. She turned around and went into the orphanage without looking back.
Sophie's Pov. MMMMMMMMMMM
Samantha just told Dee she wasn't going anywhere else with him. "Sorry, dear." She looked around and began walking up the gray cement steps. When she got to the door, I expected her to turn around and wave goodbye to Dee. That never happened. I saw his face fall as though he wanted her to wave.
Scathach was being preoccupied by a beast and didn't see Samantha go into the orphanage or stop in front of it. But out of nowhere, Scathach advanced toward Dee. She must've beaten the beast, which didn't surprise me. I put my hand on her shoulder, hoping it would stop her. It didn't. It was a good thing she only wanted answers. Scathach gripped Dee by the collar. "I wouldn't hurt me if I were you. Samantha seems to enjoy having my presence," Dee said, smirking.
Scathach looked as though she were about to murder him. Nick and Perry seemed to have noticed too. They were at her side in a flash, then so were Joan and Saint-Germain. "Calm down, Scatty," Perenelle said. She turned to Dee. "Why are you and Samantha so close?"
Dee turned his head defiantly. I stepped forward, Josh was still in the shadows, and Scatty held Dee up with one hand and was about to punch him with the other. "Wait," he said at last minute. "She's plan B." He looked down in defeat.
Everyone turned to us seeing if we knew what Dee was talking about. Josh obviously didn't remember, so I tried to. My eyes went silver for a minute or two.
Flashback:
Osiris, the man I believed to be father, was about to say the enchantment that would take away Dee's immorality. "Wait! Allow me to use plan B. It's full proof!" Dee shouted.
Isis, the woman I believed to be my mother, and Osiris 'huddled' and turned back. She half her head high and her aura sparked to life. Now that I knew the possibilities, I knew they were probably mind messaging. When her aura died again she shouted, "No! I have read your true intentions. You plan to go against us," she boomed. Now that I think about it, she tricked us. Wow! We only believed her because she was our mother and we thought her honest and good.
"Wait, pleas-."
"No," Osiris began. Then he said the immortality reversal spell.
Flashback Over.
They were all looking at me intently. I told them what happened, but that I still didn't know what plan B was.
"What's plan B?" Nick asked anxiously.
Dee's aura sparked to life and he was gone. We heard his voice from behind us. "I lasted quite some bit in the past 10-thousand years." We all turned to see him wink out of existence. I looked up at the sky to see it was about 1 possibly 2 there in Paris.
Some of the 7-14-year-old kids came out of the orphanage with water guns and some of them with water balloons. The Flamels pulled us back into a far back hiding spot, but close enough to see the front yard. "You guys," one of the kids whisper/shouted, "Samantha is in the back." They all set off in a military way. Samantha came up from the other side with a nerf and dart gun. From a distance, she shot the balloons with the dart gun. Once the kids heard balloons getting popped, they turned around and prepared for war. "You sure you want do this?" a boy who looked around 9 asked. Samantha nodded and some of the kids charged at her.
Samantha didn't flinch, move, or pick up her breathing. I found it pretty impressive. Then I found out they were on her team. Some of the kids shouted, "traitors," but no one acted upon them.
After a long war only 3 were left: Samantha, someone else on her team, and an enemy. They took that game seriously. I mean they had walkie-talkies, color coded vests, they went to the park to do it better (which was across the street, so we didn't have to move), and even had their own hunting dogs. Once it was only the three of them, they went back into the orphanage's yard. Samantha was in a hiding spot when she heard a fake cough. She came out from behind the bush she was hiding behind to see her only teammate on the ground. He uttered a 'I've been hit, you must avenge me.' Samantha smiled at him and soon her head. "No, no, no, you can't be gone, I need you - Nope, can't do it anymore. Head inside now," she commanded, with a little laugh afterward.
She turned to look around and saw us. She froze the instant her eyes landed on us. That allowed the opponent to shoot her. Samantha abruptly soon her head and faced the winner. She bent down to his height. "Great job. Uhh... You win so you get the last cookie," she told him. He started running around saying 'yay! I get the last cookie!' until finally she got him to go inside.
Samantha looked us over and her eyes landed on Scathach. There was no hatred in her eyes, which surprised me. Most of the time, when someone knows and sees Scathach they either run from her(which is the most common), fight her, or (if you're friends) say hey and such.
Finally Samantha said something. "I thought I drew blood from you. Or did I miss, I wasn't really paying much attention," she said, tilting her head and leading us over to a blue bench in the park. Scathach completely ignored her silent question of how she was still alive.
"I am sorry for what I said. I did not know," Scathach said as we all sat down.
"You had no need to know," Samantha replied. Nick, Josh, and I remembered when Nick said such a thing, so we looked at each other in shock.
"You're an orphan?" Scathach asked.
"Yes."
"And yet you allowed me to say that your parent probably spoiled you?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I know how to deal with insults."
"What about your 'sisters'? If you're an orphan, then you don't have any sisters?"
"The females I share a room with ."
"Why are you using such short answers?"
"I am not one to talk much."
"Or maybe you don't know many words."
Samantha's eyes widened. Then, all I could see was hatred. "What is wrong with you?" Samantha asked, slamming her hands on the table, standing up.
"What do mean?" Scathach looked at her startled because her eyes were normally brown, but now they were bright green.
"You do not know me yet you have insulted me on two accounts. Both times, I was only with you only to be po-lite," she said quickly. She separated polite to emphasize it.
Samantha stood up and turned around, about to leave. "Wait. Please don't go," Perenelle practically begged. Samantha stayed still. I had turned on my Awakened senses and she didn't move, not a muscle. Wow! "There is something we NEED to tell you." Samantha sighed and turned her head, but only far enough to see her shadow over her face.
I heard leaves rustling and went alert. "Samantha," a voice said from in front of Samantha. She looked up and a smile appeared on her face. It was the one and only John Dee.
Samantha's Pov. IIIIIIIIIII
I heard a familiar voice call my name. Instantly, I knew who it was. I looked up, saw John, and smiled. "Dee," I said sighing in relief. He wasn't alone, so I stiffened again.
"Samantha, don't move," Dee said gently. Before I could ask why, Dee pointed to my ankle and nodded his head forward. I followed his gaze and it lead me to a sort of golden chain trapping my ankle. I followed the chain to Marethyu. It was connected to him like a golden outline. I looked back up at Marethyu. I had one thought: I had to get away from them.
Marethyu Pov. NNNNNNNNNNN
Samantha had a thought and I heard it. I have to get away from them. No! She was getting the wrong impression. Technically, Samantha and I were gold brother and sister (Sophie and Joan were silver sisters). "Please forgive me," I murmured and sent a wave towards her. Samantha slumped to the ground unconscious.
