I know that I have just posted Chapter 3, but I was bored, so I decided to do Chapter 4. Also, dear readers, could you kindly tell your followers to read my story, too? If you do, I am sincerely grateful.

Chapter 5

Ian's POV

My alarm clock rang. I woke up, half excited and half worried.

Would Nat get together with Dan? And would Amy look happy when we would show up at her house later?

I would never know until we tried.

Natalie's POV

The house was especially quiet when Mother was in jail. And now that Father was away alone on a Lucian related trip, it was even less exciting.

Well, that is, until Ian told me the news that we were going to the Cahill brats' house later. (Actually, maybe they aren't brats...)

I was so delighted that I almost forgot about having breakfast. I immediately wanted to go and pick my outfit. You know me... I just love to dress up for occasions!

Dan's POV

It was around 11 in the morning that the doorbell rang.

Yes! My new Ninja game is here! I thoughthappily.

I flung open the door, expecting to see a mailman with my game in his hands. Instead, I saw my cousins. My reaction was to slam the door in their faces.

BAM!

"AMY!" I yelled.

"WHAT?!" my sister yelled back.

"WHY ARE THE KABRAS OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE?!"

I heard a gasp and a flurry of footsteps. There Amy was, and she ran towards me.

"Why didn't you open the door for them?" she demanded.

"I did, but then when I saw them, I slammed the door in their faces."

"DAN!" it was Amy's turn to complain.

She opened the door calmly and gestured for my cousins to come in. I grunted unwillingly. After the whole blog incident and my chat with Natalie the day before, I felt sick of their faces.

"Hello, Daniel. Hi, Amy," Ian smiled.

"It's Dan," I muttered.

Amy allowed the Kabras to sit on the couch and she played a movie. Natalie was sitting at my favourite spot. I rolled my eyes. What a coincidence.

Amy sat beside Ian and Natalie. I actually wanted to sit beside my sister, but since she was with the Kabras, I decided to sit alone.

After about twenty minutes, Amy went to get a drink. Ian got up and followed her to the kitchen.

If only Nellie wasn't out shopping and she was with us. Then, she would never allow this lovey - dovey nonsense.

Natalie and I continued watching in silence, and suddenly, the lights went out. Even the TV turned off.

I could almost feel my heart beating in my ears. Even as a brave clue hunter, I was scared.

"D... Dan?" I heard a voice whisper.

"Yes, Natalie? I'm still here," I whispered back.

"I... I'm scared..."

Natalie's POV

No sooner had I said that, I felt someone holding me close.

Dan.

It was a nice feeling. I snuggled into his chest, hoping that we would stay like this.

After about 5 minutes, we heard voices.

"Must be Ian and Amy..." I heard Dan whisper. He took my hand and we stood up, groping about for things to hold on to. When I thought we saw two figures standing in another room, I thought that that must be our elder siblings.

But unfortunately, I tripped over something and fell... right on Dan!

Amy's POV

Ian and I saw Dan and Natalie's figures moving towards us and we grinned, thinking that our plan had worked. No sooner had we thought that, we heard a thump.

Ian quickly turned the main switch on and both of us had the shock of our lives.

Natalie was lying on top of Dan, and they were... KISSING!

Ian's POV

Our plan was perfect. Dan and Natalie were working together to find us! I grinned at Amy, and she grinned at me too. Suddenly, we heard a loud thump.

Oops.

Someone must have tripped and fell.

I turned on the main switch and Amy and I gasped in shock.

My little sister had fallen onto Dan, and they were KISSING!

Ooh, what a surprise! Did YOU see that coming?

You'll have to wait for my next post to find out what happens...

Meanwhile... would you like it if it was Madison Holt with Dan Cahill, or Natalie Kabra with Dan Cahill in the end?
