A/N: Hi. Sorry for the long wait again. I'm finally finished school. For good, hopefully. So now all I have to do is get a job. Anyways I have a little more time to work on my stories. So I hope to update more often. That's not a promise though. Ok well here's the next chapter. Please R&R.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Lost World.
Here's a little recap from last chapter:
"What are you talking about? This is the 21st century, everyone has a phone," she said a little frustrated. Then she got an idea. "Can someone show me back to my car? I have a cell phone in there that I can use."
They were all staring at her now. She felt very uneasy under their gaze.
"My dear, it is not the 21st century it is only the beginning of the 20th century," George corrected.
"No it is," she replied desperately, looking at these people as if they were nuts, "It's the year 2003. I'm pretty sure we're in the 21st century."
"2003?" Lord John exclaimed.
"Oh no not another one!" Ms. Krux added.
"What? What another one?" Finn asked confused.
Chapter 3:
"My dear, I believe you have traveled back through time to the early 20th century," Challenger explained. "Do you recall what happened before the crash?"
"Me and my sister were driving down the road heading for a Brazilian spa, when ahead of us on the road we saw the air shimmer. We thought it was just the light so I kept driving. And the next thing I know I'm heading for a tree, crashing right into it. And here I am," she explained.
"Interesting," Challenger replied, apparently deep in thought.
"What year do you people believe it is?" she asked, cautiously.
"1923, of course," Roxton replied with certainty.
"You're all crazy!" Kyra blurted out. She stood up abruptly and headed towards the door. "Now if you don't mind I'll be taking my sister and leaving to find a tow truck. Which room is she in?"
She started walking around the tree house, peeking into every room, while everyone followed her.
"Now Miss. Green, I know this has been a great shock to you, but you can't just leave. There are too many dangers here on the plateau," Challenger reasoned with her.
When she pulled back the curtain that revealed her sister she cried out, "Uh huh!" and then she turned to face the on looking crowd. "What kind of dangers are you talking about?"
"Dinosaurs," Roxton said mildly.
"Cannibals," Marguerite added.
"Lizard men," Malone spoke up.
"Evil tribes, here and there," Veronica took her turn.
"And don't forget about those evil portal things," Finn added.
Kyra just looked at them as if they were nuts and turned back to her sister. She shook her lightly trying to wake her up.
Malone walked up to her and put a comforting hand on Kyra's shoulder. Kyra looked up at him and was instantly taken in by the caring, sympathetic look he gave her.
"At least stay the night. We can take care of that cut on her forehead and any other scratches you or your sister may have. And in the morning we can talk and we'll figure everything out. How about that?" he said to her gently.
"All right…" she replied, hesitantly.
"All right then, let's get started on lunch then, I bet our two guests are starving," Roxton said, rather loudly.
Kyra turned to look at him, for a minute there, while Ned was talking to her, she had felt as if they were the only ones there.
"Umm, can I stay here with my sister? I want to be here when she wakes up," Kyra asked them.
"Of course," Veronica said, kindly. "It will probably be better if you explain things to her."
"Thank you," Kyra added gratefully.
Everyone turned to leave the room, but before Malone was out, he said to her, "I'll be back with something to clean your cuts."
She smiled at him in response. And for some reason Ned felt his heart speed up at that.
"What do you make of them?" Marguerite asked the group, who were busy preparing lunch.
"Well I don't know about the younger one, but Kyra seems nice," Veronica replied.
"Yeah a little confused, but she seems ok," Finn added.
"Well she has a right to be confused. She was ripped out of her time and thrown into ours," Malone defended.
"She is quite beautiful, isn't she Ned?" Roxton teased.
All Ned did was blush and the girls looked on in annoyance.
"Yes her dark brown hair and eyes and tanned skin make her seem quite exotic," Challenger added, seriously. "I wonder what part of the world she's from?"
"Did you see what she was wearing?" Marguerite exclaimed. "That tiny blue strappy shirt and those very short pants. She looks like she came straight out of the jungle."
"Hey, what's wrong with our clothes," Veronica asked, incredulously.
Before Marguerite could reply Malone spoke up, "I'm going to take these in to Kyra," gesturing to the cleaning supplies.
Then he walked right out of the room and straight to the room his guests were in.
"Can I come in?"
Instead of an answer, the curtain was pulled back and Kyra stood there gesturing for him to come in.
"I brought some things to clean your cuts," he explained.
"Thanks," she replied and went back to sit next to her sister.
Malone sat next to her and he handed her a cloth, and she silently cleaned her sister's forehead and then bandaged it with Malone's help. Then she cleaned some of the scrapes on her sister's arms. When she was done she put the cloth down and looked up at Malone.
"Uh…thanks for the stuff," she said lamely.
"What about your cuts?" Malone asked her, concernedly.
"I'm fine. I just want my sister to wake up," she replied sadly.
He picked up a fresh cloth and dabbed it on her forehead causing her turn her head to look at him fully. He carefully cleaned the shallow cut and then gently bandaged it.
"I don't think it will scar, which is a good thing, we don't want to mar a beautiful face like yours," he didn't know exactly whey he said that, but he sure liked the results of his comment. She gave him a shy smile and her cheeks were tinged with a nice rosy pink.
A groan from the bed interrupted them from their thoughts and they immediately turned their attention to Raye. Raye struggled to open her eyes. When she finally did, they opened to stare right at Malone.
Well that's it for now. Kind of a short chapter. But I'll try to update much sooner. I've got like 500 other stories to update too. Lol. But I'll try to get to this one soon.
