Chapter two

AMY POV

I was sprinting down a street alley looking out for black hair and amber eyes. I pressed my back against the wall, listening for anything that would give them away. When I heard nothing, I bent down to catch my breath. Just then I heard a scuffing of feet and I managed to catch bits of what they were saying.

"I think she went this way!" I easily recognized the voice as Ian's.

"You foolish boy! A Kabra knows not guesses!" The cold voice sent shivers down my spine. This voice belonged to the woman that killed my parents and tried to kill Dan and I. When I was little, I always thought that Isabel was such a pretty name. I talked to my mom about it once. I told her how I thought how cute it was and how I wanted to name my child that. The look on my mom's face changed my mind, nut not as much as her words did.

"Never name your child that." She had said and left the room. I was confused then, but now I know. I know way to well too. I returned back to Earth to realize that the voices had gotten louder.

"I have got a plan that will confuse the darling Cahill girl." Isabel said. I could basically hear the smirk in her voice.

"Amy, her name is Amy." Ian said and I would've gasped if it wouldn't have cost my life. He stood up for me? No, no he didn't .Maybe this is all part of the plan. I thought.

"Oh Ian, trust me you'll get to see your little girlfriend soon." Isabel laughed maliciously.

"Mum!" He whined.

"Don't call me that! It makes me sound old!" Isabel snapped.

"Very well, now what is the plan?" Ian asked.

"I can't announce to the world, now can I?" Isabel said.

"No mother."

"Good now the plan is to…" She lowered her voice to a whisper that I couldn't hear. The shuffling of feet was my cue. I dashed down the alley only to run into a small abandoned coffee shop. I looked around there was no other way except back to where I was. I made up my mind and I ran into the old shop. It smelled of old coffee beans and oil. I hid back behind the counter where they couldn't see me. I waited until I heard the small tinkling of a bell latched onto the door. My breathing and heart rate quickened, just waiting for Isabel and her minions to find me. I would be in her hands once again.

"Who are you waiting for?" I jumped, startled. Right next to me was Ian, grinning. I was so deep in my thoughts I hadn't even noticed him. I stood up and backed away from him slowly.

"Where's your mother?" I asked, looking around.

"Oh she went after Daniel." He saw my shocked expression and continued. "Well, we figured you guys would split up leaving the clue in the hands of one of you. We also concluded that you would probably think that Mum would be after you, so you would give the clue to Daniel. So we sent Mum and Natalie to search for Daniel. That way, it would be two against one on the clue." He finished, advancing on me. How did they figure out our whole plan?

"Get away from me." I hissed.

"No can do love, I need to follow orders." Suddenly, it hit me. Dan was all alone with Isabel and Natalie! He had less training then I did and he had to carry around the bone. It had a poem from Socrates on it and we just haven't had time to decrypt it yet. Sadness swallowed me. I crouched on the ground, not able to think of anything but Dan, all alone with two she-devils. Before I knew it, tears were running down my face. I looked up at Ian expecting to see him smirking or worse laughing, but his face was clouded with worry. He looked like he was paralyzed or he just didn't know what to do. I bet Dan doesn't know what to do. This caused more tears to fall freely from my eyes. Ian snapped out of his trance and sat down beside me. I could tell he felt awkward. He probably wasn't around tears much. I wipe my eyes and I held out to my wrists.

"You can take me away now." I said feeling depressed now. They probably have Dan and already figured out the clue and they're going to torture him for any extra information and…and it was my fault. I started to cry again. "It's all my fault…all mine." I whispered my head in my hands. Ian pulled me to his chest and wrapped his arms around me. I didn't notice until he started to whisper to me.

"Don't cry Love, please. Everything's going to be fine. Just listen to me for once." I sobbed harder into his chest. When I finally got control of myself, I looked up at him.

"Why?" I asked, pulling away from him..

"What?"

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Because I hate to see you like this." He answered, pulling me closer to him. I eventually realized the position we were in and I tried to get away, but he had a strong grip on me.

"Listen, if you're going to take me captive already. It will save me a lot of pain later." I said.

"No." He replied firmly.

"What?"

"I'm not going to take you captive anymore. I'm sick of tricking you. Please just go, I will just tell my mother that I lost you. Trust me for once, this isn't a trick." His eyes were pleading. I looked at him in awe but I wasn't going to waste my chance of getting away from Isabel. I took one step towards the door but he grabbed me around my waist.

"Wha-" He pressed his lips against mine. Before I could respond, he drew back.

"Go, before it's too late." He said. His eyes betrayed his words. I was about to say something when I heard a faint tinkle of a bell.

"Oh how sweet. My son betrayed me for love. Tsk tsk, you should have learned by now."

Author's Note: I know, I know. Oh and by the way, Amy hasn't forgiven him…yet. Ian just did that on his feelings. Anyways…Yay! Chapter 2 complete! Ok down to business…since I already did like a not-so-serious story I thought hmmm… it's time to lay on the serious sauce! Anyway hope you enjoyed!
