Disclaimer: I… do not… own… The 39 Clues… I am bored now…
Our friends had reached an abandoned house close to a big canyon. Draken unlocked the door of the house and let Ian and Erik in first, then Amy with Draken walked in. They were in an enormous living room. The walls were painted with red and white paint in stripes. On the right part were a black sofa with an angle, a black armchair and another black sofa, that Draken called the love seat because only two people could sit there. On the left part of the room were some cupboards with elegant glasses for wine and champagne, at each corner of the room were candles that shown upon the white curtains on the windows. On the left of the room was the dinning room, with a glass table in the middle and black silk chairs around it. The right part was full with paintings and photos, it had a black and white carpet and a fireplace. Upon the fire place was a silver frame with a photograph inside, a burnt one. Our friends jut tore their eyes off the photo and focused them on the stunning crystal chandeliers that were upon each part of the room. But something moved their curiosity, the stairs with the red velvet carpet on them that led to the upper floor of the house.
Draken understood from their gaze that they wanted to see more of this amazing house. She hopped in front of them and spoke.
"Wow look at your faces. Your eyes are almost out and close your mouths you will catch flies." They all laughed. But Amy wondered her gaze upon the staircase again. Draken got the point then.
"I can show you around but then you must go to sleep, it's almost midnight. Tomorrow we will continue our trip. Deal?" they all nodded and Draken led them upstairs hoping that their guests will find her house comfortable.
They walked upstairs with their footsteps barely hearable. Once they were upstairs they saw the kitchen. Black pebbles on the floor and white pebbles on the wall, again a crystal, smaller, chandelier, red cupboards and white stove. In frond of them was a corridor that Draken showed them after the kitchen.
The first room they entered was a library, Amy's eyes shone at the sight and Ian felt his heart soar just a bit. The library was really big it had books from romance to drama, from fairytales too horror and terror and from fantasy to science fiction. It also had a separate room for studding decorated with drawings like Caravaggio's Medusa, Picasso's Guernica, Da Vinci's Mona Liza and Michelangelo's Aphrodite. The whole room had white walls and red carpet.
The second room, and the last that Draken could show them, was a strange one. They went inside from a hidden door, which was a floor length mirror. When they went inside the room was lightened from little red candles and a red sphere upon a circle table. The room had black walls and red carpet, a desk and a chair from white wood, an angle white sofa with fur at the back, fake of course, and big floor length windows with golden velvet curtains that made them invisible for the out world. Draken made them follow her out of the room to the next level of the house, the 3rd one. Our friends followed Draken and Erik up to the 3rd floor with tired steps.
At last Draken showed them to their rooms. Well she showed Amy her room cause Ian and Erik had gone to a special part of the house. Amy was stunned with her room. The walls were pure white but upon them were drawn black roses. It had a floor length glass door, behind two red velvet curtains, that led to a balcony with view of the canyon. On the floor was a red round carpet and the room had about twenty bookcases, filled with books from one side to the other in alphabetical order, a queen-sized bed made out of dark oak wood, covered in white silk sheets.
Amy turned and looked at her old friend, Draken. She had changed in those years. Amy remembered a shy young girl with reddish hair, dark amber eyes, and white milk skin and with a dreadful dislike for dresses. Now the same girl was standing before the queen. With her then reddish hair now pure fire red, with her then dark amber eyes now, incredibly, light amber, with her white skin now a light olive tone one and with her dislike for dresses disappeared because she was dressed with a floor length red dress with white roses upon it.
"Amy? Are you ok?"
"Uh, what did you say?"
"Are you ok? You seem a little zoned out."
"I am fine. It's just you… you have changed."
"Hey! I have changed my looks; well they changed with out my permission! But I am still your crazy witchy friend that you know and knew."
"You are right Draken."
"Well Erik and Ian are already asleep. You should take some rest, goodnight Amy."
"Goodnight Draken." And Draken closed the door behind her. Amy went under the warmth of her covers. She felt like she was home, she felt a friendly aura around her, she felt her eyelids close, she felt safe. But what she didn't felt was Phaedra eyes from the window and Evan's shadow in the busses. The soldier stayed hidden. The witch started her plan, her attack, her trap.
In a matter of time Phaedra had made it to Draken's house with Evan. Now she just said a spell and the whole house was in fire. Sprit came to her shoulder and laughed evilly along with his master witch. Evan just watched in sock and amazement from the power of the witch.
Inside the house was all full with smoke. Erik ran upstairs to Draken's bedroom. Her bedchamber was full of fire. Her fire red and silk black walls were coming down, her furry white carpet, her bed with her black and red sheets all in fire and smoke. Erik started to scream frantically her name out loud. He stopped only when he heard her voice and saw Draken rummaging through some drawers.
"Draken what are you doing?!"
"I must find something, something important!"
"What?"
"This!" Draken said, and she showed Erik a red pendant.
"Let's get out of here! Hop on!" and they left the room through the window, crashing the glass that was thrown every where at the backyard.
Ian was at first immobile but then he thought of Amy; just one thought of her jade green eyes woke him out of his daydream. He flew as fast as he could with a broken wing, which was fast enough to be at Amy's door in no time at all. He went in and called for Amy but got no answer. Ian tried again and then he saw her rummaging through some bookshelves.
"Amy what are you doing?!"
"Ian I must find something now!"
"What?"
"A book."
"Amy, enough of this nonsense, let's leave!"
"It's a book about Dragons Ian. My… my cousin had given it to me."
"Did you found it?"
"Yes! Come on now!"
"Hop on!" and they were out. They flew to the roof, there they met Erik but Draken was nowhere to be seen.
Then it hit them. They looked up to the sky and saw two stars. One with the color dark purple and violet tail, but its tail was short. The other one was a fire red star with fire orange tail, but, instead of a short one like the dark star had, it had a beautiful long tail. They were like fireworks that were crushing to each other, like they couldn't explode. No they weren't true stars but two powerful witches that fought each other for one title, the superior witch.
Phaedra was trying to win her enemy but she wasn't strong enough. She had tried every spell possible. She had thrown black thunders, balls made of pure energy but nothing, she had gone into her head nothing she was stronger that her. Draken had won the battle; her attacks were just too powerful for Phaedra. The two stars stood opposite from one other and looked into each other's eyes. Light amber ones met deep dark purple ones, two opposites but not exactly opposites. Phaedra flew towards the forest shouting something that all the crew heard.
"You might have won the battle Draken. But remember that, the war is not over and when it will be over I will be the winner of the war." And she was gone.
Ian, Amy and Erik were standing there with their mouths and eyes wide open, while they saw Draken coming down from the sky. Her face was black from the smoke; the bottom line of her dress till her knees was scratched off and her knees had brushes on them. Amy rushed at her side letting Draken sit down. The fire was over, the battle was over but not the war. Erik looked at Draken's eyes and two pairs of amber eyes, one light and one a little darker met each other. Then Draken met Amy's and Ian's eyes, her eyes were full of pain, sorrow, sadness, a bit of happiness that the battle was over but also betrayal. Amy then dared to ask.
"Did you betray someone?"
"No, someone betrayed me Amy."
"The place is ruined let's go." Ian said.
"Where Ian?"
"To New Vestroia Draken."
"Ok let's go." And with Amy's help she stood up and climbed to Erik's back. Amy climbed to Ian's and their trip had begun again along with their problems. But this was just the beginning. Then Draken looked up to the sky and whispered even so silently that only she could hear what she said.
"What have happened to you my old friend?" and then she looked in front of her, to the Dragon Canyon.
Me: O.M.G almost passed my record! Just three hundred words and then I will have written the biggest chapter! I will try but I am thinking of making the chapters shorter so you couldn't make yourselves tired. What you think? It will be just one problem, when I write long chapters I have more inspiration and I write and update faster. But when I write short chapters I am going really slow and updating really slow. Anyways, did you love, like or hate? Review and let me know! Well I have many viewers but not reviewers. Uh well it doesn't matter I love writing this story. Well buy and wait for the next chapter really soon!
