What's here? Yummy Chapter 9 has arrived! :D


Chapter 9

Books and dossiers on the shelves, a clean desk with 5 screens on it, a huge Lucian crest on the wall. Nataliya's office looked the same as the one in Amy's memories.

Even the butterflies in her stomach were the same, just the reason of them changed.

Nataliya knew, how the girl next to her felt. After she closed the door carefully, she approached and then hugged her.

As she touched her, Amy burst into tears. The girl was strong, but the events of the last minutes were too much for her.

Memories cruelly flashed before her eyes: the stranger sitting in the leaders seat, the filthy Vikram with his broom, Nataliya lying about her…

But the worst was Irina's icy glare.

" She hates me… She just treated me as a stranger." The words came unstoppable from her mouth.

" Nyet." That wasn't all what Nataliya wanted to say, but as she realised, even herself wasn't ready for that conversation.

" Everything has to be started from a point, and the time for this has arrived."she thought as she swallowed and began to speak.

" Listen Amy, Irina, she is…" the woman closed her eyes searching for the right word, but wasn't able to find any.

" You have heard about the Fuegpiedra, haven't you? "she tried again.

" It's a gem that can make its user travel in time." Amy nodded quietly.

" Da. The truth is that… an old friend of mine has found it in a temple in Peru." Nataliya said. " And she used it to correct some mistakes she'd made and save the life of some Cahills who died because of her. For example, because of that she changed the past, Irina and you hadn't gone through those adventures you initially had together, that's why she couldn't recognise you anyway - because she had never got to know you before."

" The Madrigals told us about someone breaking into the temple, but we thought that one of our enemies committed it." Amy felt relieved after hearing, that the woman knows the one stealing that bloody stone, but then a terrible feeling started spreading all over her body.

An old friend trying to correct mistakes… There was only one person guilty in the fire that killed Irina. Isabel Kabra.

Amy shivered by the cold waves racing down her spine as the evil laughter of the woman came into her mind.

"Nataliya would never help that cold blooded murderer!" Said an inner voice.

And the saddest thing is that if she hadn't seen the guilt in the woman's eyes, she would have scolded herself for her first thoughts.

But she had and was looking flabbergastedly at her.

" Nataliya, you…?!"

But no reply came. The always calm looking Nataliya was only staring down at a point on the floor motionlessly.

And this was the clearest answer she could have given to the question Amy asked.

The woman she put her trust into and considered as her second mother had sticked together with the person who killed her parents and beloved ones and made her life miserable.

This fact was more than enough for her.

She pushed the woman away from her and ran towards the door of the office.

She could hear Nataliya's voice calling her name, trying to catch her to embrace her, but she didn't care.

All she wanted now was to get as far away from the woman as possible. She didn't want to see her anymore.

She didn't care if she'd bump into any agent on the corridor or Vikram, Mr. Spasky or even Irina.

Away. That was the only thing mattered.

She opened the door and tried to leave the office befind, but she crushed into someone.

" Ouch! Oh, are you ok? Did I hurt you?" The boy in the black leather jacket asked.

The last thing Amy remembered before passing out and collapsing into his arms was the colour of his eyes: the same blue as Irina's.


Yeah, I know it was a bit cruel chapter, but I promise, that I'll compensate you. :)

Anyway, if you liked it, drop me a review, please!
