A.U. Sorry it took so long and thanks to all who reviewed and followed! I don't want a beta, sorry! I just like getting told how I could improve, and all.

TheMasterTrident13: Sorry that I added too much dialogue, I thought I had too little.

Guest: Rachel had her hair straightened, or curled, I don't know. I'm not really good with girly things.

I woke up to a pain in my arm and a wooden floor.

'Ouch!' I muttered, lifting my upper body up so I was leaning against the bed.

'Emily! Wakey-wakey rise and- shine?' Rachel shouted, bursting into my suite.

'Ever heard of knocking?' I grumbled. I'm not so good in mornings, I can be quite… grouchy.

'Sorry I'm just excited. We're going to Hoover Dam!' Rachel squealed, then had a confused look on her face.

'Why are you on the floor?'

I rolled my eyes and sighed as if saying, is this the one hundredth time this happened and Rachel is doing the same thing? Wow…

'Okay doesn't matter, but hurry up! I want to see Hoover Dam!' I got up reluctantly.

Why do I have a bad feeling about going to Hoover Dam?

I just need to tell you something. Whenever Rachel is in an area where it's really bright, she sneezes.

Like a lot.

So I wasn't surprised when all I could hear, was ACHOO.

'We're he- ACHOO -re!' Rachel yelled, thickly. I rolled down the window to see… a stupid desert.

'I'm not getting out.' I said, folding my arms. Rachel finally stopped sneezing but she turned her upper body to look at me.

'Are you kidding me? Why not?' She cracked her knuckles and I'm pretty sure she was getting ready to drag me out by my hair, kicking and screaming.

No matter how Rachel is feeling, she will be prepared to fight for what she wants. But not in the snobby rich kid way, or- sue me- how Hannah Montana did in the movie when she wanted them shoes for Lily.

'Have you seen it outside? There's nothing there!' Rachel just stared at me with a smirk on her face. Whenever Rachel smirks, it's not a good sign, as in you should be running for your life by now.

'Emily,' Rachel said gently.

'Mmhh' I said texting my friend, Felicity.

'Hoover Dam is on my side,' she held the end of side for effect. I slowly turned my head towards her and looked out of the window.

'I knew that! Come on Rachel, we haven't got all day!' I got out the car quickly and turned my head so she couldn't see me blush.

I heard Rachel sneeze- damn they didn't go away- just when she locked the car.

I walked around the hood of the car and tilted my head to get a better look at the famous Dam. It's massive and made out of a lot of concrete.

They had these tall weird angel things and I swear one winked at me.

'Oh my God,' was all anyone heard out of my mouth but I don't think anyone knew what I was saying it to.

Rachel gave me her oh-so-famous smirk.

'Yeah now let's get moving!'

We walked into what I hoped was the entrance since there were crowds of people huddled up all over the place.

'Emily,' Rachel started.

'I'm just going to the toilets to get some tissue.' I have got to say one thing. She needed it. Her nose was running and there was a red mark under her nose, which probably means it's sore.

I nodded to show I understood.

'Just stay here, okay?' I nodded again.

She went up to the elevator, where a group of school kids were just leaving the elevator.

I waited until the sign above the elevator said it was on bottom floor until I went over and joined a group of tourists who were getting told all about the Dam by a tour guide.

The door opened and we all stepped in, listening to what the tour guide was saying. I have to admit, this stuff is actually entertaining. A familiar boy stepped in, just before the doors closed. I narrowed my eyes trying to remember.

A light bulb literally lit up above my head. Percy. He looked at me and started fiddling with a… pen?

I stopped looking at him and tried to listen to what the tour guide was saying.

'-seven hundred feet," our tour guide said cheerfully.

'Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen, the elevator hardly ever breaks.

'That's encouraging,' I muttered. Her head snapped up and she looked into my eyes. EWW- NOT THE ROMANTIC WAY! Gross she's well older than me and I'm not into girls. I'll stick with boys.

'Young lady, I can re-assure you that this elevator won't break. You have my word.' I shivered, how she said it was disturbing. I know I'm not coming here again.

A voice spoke up from behind me.

'Does this go to the snack bar?' a certain voice said.

I laughed. The tour guide looked at Percy, straight into his eyes.

What is it with that lady and looking into peoples' eyes? God!

'To the turbines, young man,' the lady said. 'Weren't you listening to my fascinating presentation upstairs?'

I tried to snuffle my laugh- he weren't gonna get out of this one.

'Oh, uh, sure.' Was his reply, 'Is there another way out of the dam?'

'It's a dead end,' I said.

'The only way out is the other elevator.'

The doors opened.

'Go right ahead, folks,' the tour guide told us. 'Another ranger is waiting for you at the end of the corridor.'

I hid behind the corner of the elevator, waiting for everyone to get out so I could get to Rachel.

'And young man,' the tour guide called.

I looked around the elevator door. She'd taken off her glasses.

Her eyes were startlingly grey, like storm clouds.

'There is always a way out for those clever enough to find it.'

She stepped in just as the doors closed.

'So, Emily. What are you going to do about that dream of yours?' she asked me.

I was gobsmacked. How did she know?

'I do-don't know what your t-talking about, Miss.' Her eyes hardened.

'You know full well what I am talking about Emily G-Dare!' I frowned, confused. What was she about to call me? I shook my head and answered her question.

'I don't know, Miss." I admitted. She stared at me and tutted.

'You can go,' she said. As if it was magic, the elevator doors opened. I stepped out, ready to find Rachel.

'Emily!' the tour guide called out. She gave me a chain to put on.

'Meet me down at the snack bar if you want to save your family.' I nodded and ran off in the direction I hoped Percy ran down.

I saw the toilet sign and slowed down, since I was going in the right direction.

I saw Percy snapping his fingers, just like the dream a voice in my head said.

'You don't see a sword,' he told Rachel.

'It's just a ballpoint pen.'

She blinked.

'Um… no. It's a sword, weirdo.' I held in a laugh, exactly how Rachel would act.

'Who are you?' he demanded.

She huffed, angrily.

'Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Now, are you going to answer my questions or should I scream for security?' I knew Rachel was bluffing. At this moment in time, she couldn't scream properly to save a life.

'No!' he said.

'I mean, I'm kind of in a hurry. I'm in trouble.'

'In a hurry or in trouble?'

'Um, sort of both.'

Okay this is getting boring now. I've already dreamt it!

Rachel looked right threw me and her eyes widened. I thought I was caught.

'Bathroom!'

What, I thought, she didn't… see me?

You're invisible, Emily. The chain makes you invisible to all but me.

How? I was screaming inside my head. There was no answer.

'What?' Percy said.

'Bathroom! Behind me! Now!'

He listened to her and slipped inside the boys' bathroom and left Rachel standing outside.

I heard the clattering, hissing sounds of skeletons backed up into a wall so the skeletons couldn't get me. I felt guilty leaving Rachel but she was fine by herself. My dream guaranteed that.

Rachel started talking in that lightning fast speed of hers.

'Oh my god! Did you see that kid? It's about time you got here. He tried to kill me! He had a sword, for god's sake. You security guys let a sword-swinging lunatic inside a national landmark? I mean, jeez! He ran that way toward those turbine thingies. I think he went over the side or something. Maybe he fell.'

God, Rachel, way to go on but at least it works.

The skeletons clattered excitedly. I moved to see them going to the turbines.

Rachel looked round to see if the skeletons were far enough and opened the door.

'All clear. But you'd better hurry.' She said. I still think she was acting like a spy.

But she weren't. Her face was grey and sweaty and she was shaking.

Percy looked around the corner.

The skeleton were running toward the other end of the balcony. The way to the elevator was going to be clear for only a few minutes, at the most.

'I owe you one, Rachel Elizabeth Dare.'

They started talking and when the skeletons realized they had been tricked, they turned around and saw Percy.

He ran and I started to follow because I am going to do whatever I can to protect Rachel. No matter what.
