Jack's POV
"So there is some kind of key that supposed to open a door somewhere in the world?"
all of this sounded kind of weird to me. Like some kind of Indiana Jones story.
"I guess so." Kim answered.
She looked at the map again, and her fingers were sliding over every cross and eventually ended at the Mediterranean sea. Just under Greece.
"there." She said. "So that must mean, the key is in Europe?" to be honest, I had no idea what she was talking about.
So I asked her. "Kim? What are you doing?" kim looked at me for a moment.
And then said, "do you know the story of Atlantis?" I nodded.
"it sunk to the bottom of the sea because the gods were jealous of the beauty of the city."
Kim nodded. "yes, and according to the story, where would that city be?" now it made sense to me. "in Greece!" we jelled at the same time!
"of course!" we heard behind us!
We turned around at the same time and Jill just walked in.
clearly realizing something she haven't before.
"I was so busy searching the gates that I forgot the true destination of all!"
she also stroke over the map but instead of resting on the same spot as Kim, she kept moving till she hit the cross over Spain.
"that must mean that the gate is right there!" all three of us looked right at a place called Valencia.
Jill totally forgotten the book I asked for. But luckily Kim told her to read it.
"ow yeah sorry. Ehm,,, yeah here." And Jill read the page.
"chapter thirteen, the gate to Atlantis. To protect the city. The Atlantians decided to wonder off from the rest of the world.
But they still wanted to come to the world so they build a gate. Hidden in a mountain at sea.
But since people found the secret way to the city, they created a monster with the purpose to protect the tunnel and the gate.
Only Atlantians were allowed to pass thanks to a special key in the shape of a diamond.
And to make sure no one else could pass they hid that key far away in a cold place with a lot of water. A place called the Utrecht Hill Ridge."
There was a moment of silence and then I said what we all thought. "So we have to find out where that is."
Kim's POV
"Jack, we need to talk!" I said after I spotted Jill winking at him.
Jack looked weird at me, then said, "okay?" and we walked to our room.
I opened the door. "go inside." And Jack walked in, and I after him and closed the door.
"what is it?" I looked at him. "what there is, is you having something going on with Jill."
Jack started laughing. "what? You think I have something with Jill? That's insane! Why do you think that?"
wait, am I wrong? Well If I am I won't give in that quick.
"she is winking at you and flirting and whatever she's doing. And you accept it!"
it seems like Jack really didn't know what was happening. "really? And you think I like her?"
followed by, "are you jealous of her?" I knew I was blushing.
I liked Jill but I could not stand her flirting with my boyfriend!
"look kim, there is nothing going on between me and Jill. Trust me."
And after that he leaned in to kiss me. But I pulled away.
"sorry Jack, I just can't right now. I hope you understand that." And with that I felt Jack behind in our room.
That night it was silent at dinner. All four of us felt some sort of tension but no one wanted to disturb each other's thoughts.
I saw Jill trying to smile to Jack a few times but every time she did and he knew I was looking he looked down.
But suddenly he looked up. Right at me and asked, "but how do we gonna get there?" the rest all looked at him.
Jerry confused, Jill thoughtful and I think I looked a bit ashamed.
But I wasn't ashamed over the fact that we couldn't find a possible way to Europe.
More over the fact that Jack now appeared to be a little afraid of me. "well." Jill began.
"we could by plane but we don't know where to start."
"what are you saying Jill?"
"I am saying jack, maybe we should go with a yacht?"
a moment of silence, then Jerry came into the discussion.
"okay, but where do you wanna get a yacht seaworthy?" Jill smiled. "wait and see."
Later on I worked at some document about a story I was writing when Jack walked in.
for some reason he walked straight to the closet, took his laptop and his adapter and walked out.
No hi, no kisses, nothing. Was it something she said?
I don't really know. But what I did know was that this was gonna be a long night.
And I was right. Normally we would cuddle. Kiss a lot and may even do more!
But this night, we didn't said anything, and laying back to back.
For some reason I was afraid to ask what was wrong.
But it was hurting me that jack seem angry at me.
And the worst thing is, I didn't even know why jack was mad at me!
After hours of thinking and inspiring the courage, I eventually decided to ask him.
"Jack?"
okay i know that i haven't updated in a really long time but i was so busy with school stuff and some other things to write a proper chapter in time.
i am so sorry. the next chapter will be quicker. that's a promise.
