To Reviewers:
bookgirl39- *GASP* I would never do that to Amy. It'd be like killing myself. Well, I'm glad it was convincing. Maybe a little cliche, but... :) And thank you for being the ONLY PERSON to review. You are epic.
No one else reviewed! Come on, PLEASE? Do you want me to beg? I only have a few more days before school starts back. So, could you please help me out a little? Look, I can't even tell most of the time when people favourite me, because it goes to my mom's email, and she usually deletes it. So, basically, I get almost no feedback except for reviews. I'm less inspired when I get zero reviews. Sure I still want to write, but there are other stories going through my head now. Stories I've banned myself from writing until I finish this and my other story.
Disclaimer: Hmmmm... I'm running out of creative ideas... Alright, please do not call the police on me, because I promise I do not own The 39 Clues. Although, I wish I did.
LET'S GO!
Chapter 10:
Dan's P.O.V.
I honestly doubt that there's ever anything good about a Lucian. Except, maybe Irina. But she only saw the error of her ways after she tried to kill us a couple of times.
I didn't like the way Nellie kept staring at Chirac, it reminded me way too much of Amy and Cobra. Amy got hurt when Ian played her, I thought, no matter what she tried to pretend. The last thing we need is another broken heart.
Amy came out of the changing room, in new clothes since her old ones were wet. The nurses offered to give me and Nellie clothes too, and we took them silently. I had a feeling that Nellie was angry with me for being suspicious of her boyfriend. Just like Amy was.
What is it with girls and this romance stuff anyway? It's like it's their whole life, for crying out loud. Like the only thing that matters in the whole world is their mystery guy. It's annoying, stupid, and creepy. Nellie turned red as a tomato when Chirac took off his lab coat. Amy seemed distant, and kept jumping at the smallest sounds. If this kept up, I was going to be the only sane person on our team. And that would cause chaos, I admit it.
"Dan." I jumped; Amy had snuck up right behind me.
"What?" I asked softly. Chirac had told Nellie and me that Amy was still fragile. I'd scoffed. Well, DUH!
"We don't have to trust him completely, but don't you think we should at least hear him out? For Nellie's sake." She added, seeing my ticked expression. I exhaled sharply through my nose, and Amy flinched. I felt guilt and shame mingle and flare up inside me, and I knew she would win the game without even trying to play it.
I used a softer and more gentle tone this time. "I guess. But we have to be careful." I was shocked those words were coming out of my mouth. Amy's accident was turning us all upside down.
No, I thought, Isabel Kabra is turning us all upside down.
Chapter 11:
Nellie's P.O.V.
Dan was being a total jerk.
Immediatley, my sympathetic side wanted to slap my "In-love" side. Dan had been through a lot tonight, even for the clue hunt. Itwas hard for me to watch Amy almost drown. I couldn't imgine what it was like for Dan.
Dominic came back into the room. "Ameila. How are you?"
It was odd. I'd never felt shivers go up my spine when he spoke, but everytime I saw him, I stopped breathing for a second. And when he looked in my eyes, I was never tired or nervous or angry. I was... perfect. Almost like rebirth. I couldn't see anyone else. I couldn't hear anyone else.
Dominic smiled at me before turning to Amy.
"Listen, Amy, you need to lay low for awhile. Isabel's still out there, and you're in no shape to take her on. Stay at the hotel. And you too," He said, turning to Dan and me, "I'd recomend staying with her, but sometimes I realize that's not possible. The Clue Hunt can be time sensitive." He gave us all a knowing look, and I thought about Nataliya, the woman Dan and Amy had told me about. I'd never met her,but apparently she was the reason Amy and Dan had found a fifth clue and information about their parents.
"Can you tell us anythoing about the whole underground river thing?" Amy asked quietly. "What was that?"
Dan was keeping his distance, but listening in as he pretended to flip through a comic book from the waiting room. I tried to let that go.
"That was something we built when everything was at a sensitive point in the cluehunt. It was built to get rid of enemies who knew too much. Crude, but effective." He frowned. "It has something to do with the English Channel. I wish I knew more, but it has an extreme amount of security. Please, be careful."
Chapter 12:
Amy P.O.V.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't figure anything out. I couldn't figure out why Ian was in my dream, I couldn't figure out what had stopped me from drowning in the tunnel, and I could NOT figure out the Lucian trap right now.
Nellie looked at me and sighed, as though she could tell how tired and delicate I was right now.
"I'm sorry, Dominic, but we need to leave. Amy and Dan are...erm, tired, andso am I. Thank you though. See ya." Nellie blushed and put an arm around Amy and one around Dan.
Dominic watched as Nellie, Amy, and dan strode down the hall, and felt a piece of him walk away too. All of them had to die one day, and some sooner than others.
Aggggghhhhh. Only 1,106 words. Darn it! Well, at least I got in a few important parts. YAY! Sorry for any reviews I might've missed, I started this like 4 weeks ago, and then I got a virus... So, yeah.
