"Man, I can't believe we have to stay up here!" Juliette complained, "I mean, it's so stupid. It's entirely your fault."
"Mine? I was just joking about grape juice nail polish!" I contradicted. It's true. I randomly thought of it one day when I was playing with our black kitten, Mozart.
"Hey, Jules, wouldn't it be cool if we made nail polish with grape juice?" I asked.
"Yeah! ...But, how do you make it?" she asked curiously
"D'know. Add grape juice to white nail polish, maybe? I don't know?"
OK, I shouldn't have suggested it, but it was just a crazy, random, epic idea that I thought of, never to happen. Note to self: Never tell Juliette a crazy, random, epic idea that I thought of, never to happen.
I changed the subject. "Hey, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Um, if it's that you're stupid, then yeah." She replied
"You're an apple," I quoted from the Annoying Orange "And no. I'm thinking that we should sneak downstairs, skipping the third step."
"Why the third step?" Jules's wondered aloud
"'Cuz it creaks." I stated
She shrugged, "Sure, why not?" So we exited our room, went through the hallway, and down the stairs, skipping the third step. We passed. But then I sneezed. Crap.
"WHAT DID I TELL YOU GIRLS?" Dad yelled, "GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!"
So we walked over to the kitchen table, scared out of our wits.
"Did you think you could pull a fast one on me?" he asked, terrifyingly calm, but still anger in his voice
"Um, yeah?" I suggested
"Have you ever gotten past me?" he questioned
Juliette and I looked at our feet "No." she mumbled
"I thought so" he said, "Now I want you to go ba-"
"Oh just let them stay." The redhead said, "It involves them to." She turned to us "I'm Scathach. But you can call me Scatty." She had a faint Irish accent.
"What involves us? What are you talking about? I'm cunfuzzled." I stammered
"We were just in the middle of explaining it to your mom and dad. I'm Sophie. And that's my brother, Josh." The other girl said, smiling
"Thanks for the intro. I could have done it myself." Josh grumbled
"Anytime!" Sophie giggled
"Can we please get back to the subject?" Scatty snapped
"Sorry." Sophie, Josh, Juliette, and I said all at the same time. Our dad just glared at us and they resumed their conversation.
"So as I was saying, we are gathering people to fight against the Dark Elders. We know that your daughters have potential and we would like to train them if that is possible." Dad put his head on his hands. (He only does this when he is thinking)
"You won't put them in danger of any kind."
"Yes"
"They will return here as soon as you are done and all this is over with."
"Yes"
"Well," He paused and looked at us and we did our innocent look but with a confused face, "I guess you can. But I want them to look like they are here." I looked down.
"In our pajamas?" He glared at us some more.
"Then let us begin. We will tell them everything in the car." Sophie told us to go get some clothes and other stuff that we will need. Juliette and I shrugged our shoulders and did what she told us to do. Josh put our stuff in the car and Scatty said bye to our father. All of us got into the car and pulled out of the driveway.
The Adventure had begun.
Review and add to alerts, please! OK, so, thank you sooooooooooo much to Esmeralda Silver-Fletcher, who, without her, I would not be able to finish the chapter. I owe you a LOT!
Me: Oh, yah, and I don't own Nicholas Flamel, blah, blah, blah, all that junk…
Josh: Thank God she doesn't! (Just think about what she would do to me…)
Me: JOSH! *Sigh* I'll deal with YOU later…
Josh: *Gulp*
