A Different Amy Cahill: Chapter Four
Disclaimer:
Me: IAN! Come here and do the disclaimer!
Ian: No. I refuse to be bossed around by a thirteen-year-old girl. It's not the Lucian or Kabra way.
Me: *Grins evilly* Well if you don't, I'll kill you off in all of my stories - slowly and painfully- except the prank war one; in that one you'll just be humiliated to the extreme. And I'll kill you now, after of course giving Amy your . . . journal.
Ian: Alright, fine, but just this once. *Mumbles under breath*
Me: I'm sorry, what was that? 'Cause you must know I also have control over Natalie's fate as well. *Laughs maniacally*
Ian: Are you sure you're not insane? You really do act like it.
Me: I know I'm insane, you don't have to keep pointing it out! And thank you, for me being called insane is a compliment.
Ian: I believe you.
Me: Now do the disclaimer. I'm getting impatient and I'm sure the readers are too.
Ian: *Rolls eyes* Yes, your majesty. I'm-A-Fallen-Angel39 doesn't own the 39 Clues.
Me: On with the story!
Amy's POV:
Dan and I looked at each other and we instantly knew we were taking the challenge- no questions asked.
"You'll decline the challenge, of course," we heard a male British accent behind us.
We looked at each other and I raised an eyebrow, while my lips were set in an amused smirk.
Are they serious? Or are they joking? I really can't tell, Dan asked with his eyes. He looked amused as well.
I think they are. They must not want us to get hurt, I thought back. My smirk still in place, I turned towards them and said, "Why would we do that? I think the challenge might be fun. Don't you, Dan?"
"But of course, dear sister," he replied sarcastically while rolling his eyes. I giggled while the Kabras seemed like he hadn't said anything, which made me a little mad.
"But you could get hurt. Think of your Aunt. And Grace wouldn't want that, would she? After all, you were her favorite," Natalie said, slightly flustered, though she hid it well.
"We won't get hurt. Besides Aunt Bee is cool- and so was Grace. They wouldn't mind. I'm positive," I told them with a smile.
They turned around and walked away, seeming sad thinking we would get hurt. Without them noticing, I put a bug in Natalie's purse.
"I wonder," I chirped lightly, "how long it'll take them to notice the bug."
"Probably a while because of the way it's designed," Dan said with the smallest of smirks curving his lips. The bug was small and changed color to match its surroundings.
"You're most likely right. We can use it when we're bored and looking for entertainment and when they have a clue that we don't. And Aunt Bee is coming over," I told Dan, motioning to her.
He nodded and when she was in front of us she leaned down and said, "Well, since I know you two are accepting the challenge, there is only so much I can do. When we get home I want you to pack anything you might need for the clue hunt, while I talk Nellie into coming with you. Amy, I will allow you to take your motorcycle if you promise to wear your helmet whenever you go riding. Understand?"
We nodded and I knew I looked ecstatic. I loved my motorcycle. It was a shiny black with a rose on the front.
"Thank you so much!" I replied as I smiled brightly at her.
She smiled back and said, "Your welcome, Amy. Be safe you two." Then she walked off.
"Alright, now that that's settled, let's see if Sinead wants to have an alliance with us," Dan said with a small smile on his face. I looked around and found her a few feet away, trying to stop her brothers from strangling each other.
"Sinead! Come here, I have a question for you," I said and she looked over, then squeezed through her brothers- who were still trying to kill each – and made her way over to us.
"Yeah, Ames? What'ch ya need?" she asked, looking over her shoulder to make sure Ned and Ted didn't kill each other.
"Are you taking the challenge?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"Yeah. Are you?" she replied still looking at her brothers.
"Yep! Do you want to have an alliance with us? It could help us both out and we could keep it up until the search for the last clue," I told her with a bright smile matching my voice.
She turned to me with a smile and said, "That would be wonderful, but let me ask Ted and Ned how they feel- you know how they are."
"But of course. All boys are like that- they don't like anything done without it being run by them first," I replied with an amused smirk that Sinead copied.
"At least I know someone agrees with me," she said before turning around and walking away. "Bye, Ames, see you later!"
I giggled while Dan shook his head in exasperation. "I swear to God you're bi-polar," Dan said in amusement.
"Hmm, I don't think so. The Madrigals or Sinead or someone else would have said something by now," I replied. "But you're right: I need to be more serious and not play around right now."
"Now what're we going to do for the next four minutes? 'Cause I'm bored." I said with a frown on my face.
"Well, we could talk about the reasons I think you're bi-polar, but since I don't think you want to do that, you could tell me why you won't teach me to ride a motorcycle when I'm older," Dan said with a slight whine in his voice at the end.
"Well the reasons I won't teach you to ride a motorcycle when you're older are one: I don't want to. Two: because you keep bugging me about it. Three: you're too young right now, and four: you're too immature!" I said with a frown.
He looked offended when he said, "I said when I'm older meaning not now. And I am not immature."
I rolled my eyes and said, "Yes you are and I know you said when you're older. But I don't want to and never will if you keep bugging me about it! Maybe if you leave me alone about it for a little bit I will decide to teach you when you're older."
"Fine," he huffed with a pout making me roll me eyes.
"Hey, Dan, guess what?" I asked in amusement.
"What?" he grumbled with his arms crossed over his chest.
I leaned in and whispered, "You're still being immature." He turned to me and glared while I smiled innocently at him. After all it was true - he was whining.
"You know, you may be able to fool everyone else with that innocent look, but it doesn't work on me," Dan said, and I pouted, knowing he'll do whatever I want when I do.
"That's not going to work on me this time, Amy," Dan said crossing his arms again and looking at me defiantly. I just kept pouting, knowing it would work eventually. "Not going to work," he said again, but I could see him breaking. I didn't move. "Nope," he said but I could hear his voice weakening.
He sighed then said, "I'm sorry, alright? I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."
I smiled at him and said, "I know but I love torturing; you it's fun."
He glared at me again and Sinead walked back over with a smile.
"They said they would love to be in an alliance with you two. Though they are still wary of you, Amy, because of what you did last time we did something together. I thought it was funny," Sinead said.
I smiled as I thought of that. They had come over and I was bored, so I went out and bought a bunch of make-up and stuff and when I got back I told them I wanted to show them a new project I had invented. They followed me and when we got to the basement, I texted Sinead and told her what I was planning before I tied Ned and Ted up. After I tied them up, I proceeded to put the make-up on them along with the other stuff I bought. They ended up in mini shirts and really short shorts. It was rather horrifying. After I finished I took pictures and ran upstairs to put them on Facebook.
"Hey, as long as they don't let me get them, they have nothing to worry about," I told Sinead with a smirk curving my lips. She laughed.
"Yeah, I'll be sure to tell them that. So do you think the other teams should know about our alliance just yet?" Sinead said, still smiling.
"Hmm, I think we should wait a while before letting them figure it out. So, at the beginning of the hunt, we should act like we hate each other," I replied with a devious smirk appearing on my face.
"Hmm, I agree; it could work well for us later in the hunt," Dan said.
"Probably. Now I have to go tell Ned and Ted about the plan," Sinead said while turning and walking off.
"Alright! Your five minutes to decide is up. If you aren't taking the clue, please take your bank voucher and leave now." Only a few people left but Dan, Aunt Bee, and I knew that more would be leaving.
"Now if you are taking the clue please come up here." Dan and I were the first ones up, naturally. McIntyre smiled at us as he grabbed our bank vouchers and set them on fire with a lighter. He gave us the clue before he said, "When you get the clue, you are not to open them until I give the ok."
After we stepped away from McIntyre, the Kabras walked up, soon followed by the Holts, Starlings, Irina, Alistair, and lastly Jonah.
After we all got our clues, and everyone who didn't accept it left the room, McIntyre calmly said, "Alright, you may open your envelopes."
A/N: I'm going to end it there. It gives me the perfect way to start the next chapter.
P.S. Sorry for not updating but I've been busy with other stories and my sister just found out that she's bipolar and her boyfriend's brother- not boyfriend- was abusing her…So yeah very busy.
P.P.S. If you have any suggestions for a better title let me know.
