Take me by the tounge and I'll know you, kiss me till you're drunk and I'll show you all my moves like Jagger, I've got the moves like Jagger, I've got the moves like Jagger, I've got the moooooooooves like Jaggar! Okay, I've played this song a trillion times in a row and I'm not sick of it. That's HUGE for me.

I HAVE OFFICIALLY CONQUERED MY FEAR OF THE DARK! Proof: I'm sitting in my room at quarter to one in the morning with my mom's laptop, snacks and my headphones.

Sorry but that's a huge accomplishment in my book. Right next to beating my friend (or anyone in her family) at Wii tennis… *sigh* I'll get there.

I wonder how many chapters in my life have had a Marron 5, or Mika song in the note… I'll count and let you know ;)

Interrogater: WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT!

Me: I-I-I…

Interrogater: SPIT IT OUT!

Me: *mutters*

Interrogater: WHAT? SPEAK UP

Me: First of all: please don't yell. Second: I said I was trying to steal the rights to the 39 Clues.

Interrogater: Oh… never mind. You're free. Not the person we're looking for.

Me: What did they do?

Interrogater: They stole the last cookie!

Me: *backs out of room nervously* psh… wow… who would do such a thing… *runs*

Kay this chap I hope will explain some of what happened in the past twenty years.

Random chap I found in a well: Okay so in 2012 Amy-

Me: Not you!

Third Person (the chap?) POV

Amy was driving home from the stronghold.* Well… trying to. She wasn't driving much. Damn traffic.

"Cars, cars, go away. Come again another day." she chanted under her breath.

The cars didn't move.

"It was worth the try."

Amy wasn't sure why she was talking to herself. She did a lot. When she was reading, working, thinking, sleeping, sitting in traffic, wherever; she muttered to herself. It had gotten her in a lot of trouble over the years. But it also did good things.

The cars didn't seem to want to move any time soon so Amy picked up a file she was supposed to read on Vespers.

"Natalie…" she muttered. She still couldn't believe it what Natalie had done. Seventeen years ago, when she was fourteen, Natalie fell in love with a boy called Jake Thorne.** Jake was a good-looking, smart sixteen-year-old who obviously really loved Natalie. At first Ian wasn't so thrilled about the fact that he was older but he got over it.

But no one is perfect. Jake was Vesper. Did Natalie leave her boyfriend and stay true to her family? No, she joined the Vespers with him. She just left, leaving nothing but a note saying that she wasn't coming back.

~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~

Ring! Ring! Amy's phone was ringing.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Amy! Natalie's gone!" Ian's panicked voice shouted from the other end.

"Gone? What do you mean gone?" Amy asked "She died?"

"Worse! She joined them! She went to live with Jake!" Ian explained, his voice cracking.

"Oh my God…" was all Amy could say. They probably weren't going to see Natalie again. Why? Because Jake lived in London. He was in America on vacation.

~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~

Amy shook off the memories. Every time the Vespers were mentioned Natalie came to mind. Natalie had been Ian's only family at the time and then even she was gone. He was a wreck for months, beating himself up for not doing something sooner to stop her. Amy hated those memories.

"Don't think about her." Amy whispered.

That was hard to do when the last name Thorne was in big bold letters at the top of the first page.

Alex's POV

Why couldn't my stupid brother be quiet? If he gave us away I swear I'd have killed him. Painfully. This was a very important mission.

Well… technically he is my half brother. His mother, Natalie, had been with our dad for two years and then they had some big fight and my dad married my mother who died when I was only a few months old. Two years later he ran into Natalie again and they started dating and got married and now we have little brother Xavier*~*. We have a confusing family but you get used to it. Natalie is almost like a mother to me but I refuse to refer to her as my mother. She isn't so why should I?

But I suppose it'd be wrong if I killed the kid. He's still family. Maybe I would just hurt him. A lot.

"Are you sure this isn't the door?" Xavier asked for the millionth time.

"I'm sure it's the next one." I told him.

"But what if-"

"It's the next door!"

"Someone's snippy." Xavier teased "Another reason no one would give you the chip with the virus. You're too snippy."

I face palmed myself. "You idiot! What did I tell you not to say?"

"Swear words."

"What else?" I asked rhetorically "Not to say that we have a virus!"

"You just said it!"

Just then the door opened and a girl fell out. The light from the room hurt my eyes since we'd been in the dark. Without thinking I caught her. She looked up at me, her jade colored eyes wide with a mix or fear and curiosity.

She stood up and we all looked each other up and down. She had long black hair tied back and tanned skin. She looked something like Natalie minus the green eyes. Why did I feel like I recognized her face?

"W-who are you?" she stuttered. She doesn't stutter often did she? It's awfully annoying. I thought.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I asked you f-first." she said. Damn it, where do I know that face? I asked myself. I knew her form somewhere. A picture, a name, a hope… wait… not a hope. Hope is her name. Hope Cahill. CAHILL! It clicked. I was looking at one of the most powerful Cahills alive. Alarms went off in my brain. Telling me to grab my brother and run before she figured out-

"Are you Vespers?" Hope asked. She sounded a bit frightened.

"Are you?" I asked.

She shook her head. Knew it.

"Well then, dear, you just heard our conversation did you?" I asked, reaching for the dart gun Natalie made us keep with us.

I didn't give her a chance to answer before I shot her and she fell unconscious.

"You didn't think this through did you?" Xavier asked me "Now we have to take her back or she'll tell on us."

I hadn't thought that through.

"The worst part," Xavier said "I think there's a hole in my pocket. The virus is gone."

Idiot

Yay! All in… two hours! Done!

*Amy and Ian both have jobs! They just, like, stop at the strongholds on the way home or something I don't know… didn't think it through all the way. Hey, I had to do a lot of rethinking and I just missed this one.

**That SO wasn't intentionally taken from Halo by Alexandra Adorenetto. I was just thinking "Hey I'll use Jake as his name" then I was thinking of last names I knew starting with T and Thorne came to mind. And he was going to live in London before I gave him a name so that definatally was an accident. If you don't know what I'm babbling about… well Imma shut up.

*~*That WAS intentional naming. Again, if you don't understand what I mean… ignore me.
