Durp...why did I write that anyways? Wow…I am exhausted.. Anyways, Chapter 10…whoa. I came a long way if I read back to my first chapters. All you readers have been a real motivation. Thanks. I wouldn't be anything without my reviewers too.
Lemurian-girl- Yeah I've been going through the same kind of torture with my science project. You were the first reviewer again! Wheee!
Jenna.Fan- Somehow you seemed to have gotten half of what I'm planning right…there's however more. You get some sushi for trying though!
Midnight Moon- It's alright. I didn't take is as a flame at all. Thanks! And you'll know what's going on with Alex in a few chapters.
Trixie's girl- I like the fact that Alex has a very developed vocabulary but otherwise, he's a traitor and I hate him. And yes, he is EVIL.
Mr.Finger Doodle- Yeah, I've noticed it was getting kinda dull in the past chapters. I'm unraveling the plot soon and I hope it will be more exiting.
unicornmaddy- Yes, Alex is a meanie! You get sushi for figuring that out. Thanks for reviewing!
anon- I hadn't had flame in a while. I have one thing to tell you: YOU TRY TO DO BETTER! There, I'm done. I did say it myself however, that this chapter was pretty pointless.
guy- Yay! Your review was my 50th! I'd like to know your theories on Alex's plan. And to answer your questions, they will get into a lot of trouble in this chapter and…let's just say that they are very special and unique. I can't reveal too much of my plot yet.
your local dealer- XD I love you pen name! And yes, Felix and Piers will remain hetero but I might just write another story about them two. Just a thought though. Thanks for reviewing!
savinglifelessness- Yay! I'm happy to hear from you. I thought that the evil rubber duckies ate you XD. Well Isaac is a bit perverted like all guys at the age of 16. And no he won't get killed by Felix…not yet anyways. Thanks for reviewing!

10- The Djinn Hunt (part 2)
Garet opened the trap door which led to the Goma Caves with a gulp.
"Well here we are." he said.
"Yeah…well ladies first, Jenna." said Isaac.
"Why me?" said Jenna.
"It was your idea…" pointed out Garet.
"Fine." she said as she went down using the ladder. Isaac panicked for a second. He couldn't hear Jenna.
"Sol is atop of the sanctum." said Isaac.
"And the stars are onto the platforms." said Jenna's voice. Isaac heaved a sigh of relief and climbed down the ladder. The cave was dark and damp. There seemed to be underground sources. Garet came down after Isaac, taking out the map.
"According to this, we hid three East and two up North. So where do we go first?" said Garet.
"I say we go east first!" said Jenna.
"I've got no objections." said Isaac.
"Alright! Then let's go." said Garet.
They walked close to each other. All three of them too wrapped up in their ego to say that this adventure scared them. They heard a noise ahead. Jenna gripped herself on Isaac's arm.
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea…" said Jenna. There was a flash of light and the Outlaws were face to face with a creature unlike any other. It was like a skeleton. There was no flesh to it, only it's bones remained. Yet the creature did not have a head.
"What do we do now?" said Isaac.
"I don't know!" said Jenna.
There was another flash of light and the skeleton had vanished. Panting, the Outlaws looked at each other.
"What was that?" asked Jenna.
"I don't know…it doesn't make sense at all…" said Garet.
"Should we get out of here?" asked Jenna.
"No." said Isaac. "We keep going."
Isaac seemed determined. Jenna felt her courage come back to her. He always made her feel like everything was alright.
The Outlaws walked east without any events. The cave was becoming deeper and their breaths started to make out fog.
"I think we're coming close to the Djinn." said Garet after a while.
"I hope so because this cave is giving me the creeps!" said Jenna.
"Yeah, it's right after this..."
What it was after, nobody ever found out. Garet's voice trailed off and his body started to quiver. He dropped the map and fell forward on the damp ground.
"Garet!" screamed Jenna and Isaac together.
"Isaac, he's not waking up!" said Jenna.
"Okay, you take out your cell phone and call an ambulance immediately. I'll carry him to the surface." said Isaac.
"You can't do that on your own!" protested Jenna.
"Watch me." said Isaac as he lifted Isaac into his arms and started to carry him towards the exit. Jenna shrugged and took out her cell phone to dial 911.
Isaac was about to collapse under Garet's weight. It wasn't going to be this way. He would not show any weaknesses, and especially not in front of Jenna.
"They said they were trying to send one right away." said Jenna.
"Then it should be here when we get back up." he said.
"Are you sure you don't need help?" asked Jenna.
"No, it's alright." said Isaac. "You just keep on the look out."
They remained silent. Jenna, who had picked up the map, was directing Isaac back to the exit.
"Nice, Ivan." said a voice. "Mess with the boy's mind and make him collapse as a distraction. Felix is going to kill you."
"Well maybe but they were going to see us. Remember, we can't be seen."
Two figures, looking like older versions of Sheba and Ivan, were hovering out of the earshot of Jenna and Isaac. They were dressed in a medieval manner. They also seemed to glow a faint shade of gold.
"Yes, but they were attacked by a foe. If Isaac hadn't interfered, they would have probably lost their lives." said Sheba.
"They're here for those toys that look like our Djinn." said Ivan.
"Do you have the power to materialize them to the surface?"
"Of course!"
The two figures vanished.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Isaac had estimated, the ambulance was there when they arrived at the surface. The paramedics took Garet in. Jenna and Isaac climbed at the back with him. The medic was adjusting an air plastic thing (A/N: Go ahead, laugh. I don't know the real word at all) on Garet's nose and mouth.
Jenna hid her face in Isaac's neck. Isaac had his blue eyes focused on Garet's limp form. He had never seen him unconscious and he hated to see him asleep. He was the life inside everyone. To see him weak like this was as if he was never going to wake.
Isaac let a tear slip from his left eye. The drop got lost somewhere inside Jenna's hair.
Noticing that something had dropped inside her hair, Jenna lifted her head. She saw tears clinging to Isaac's eyelashes. She took her index finger and wiped them away. Isaac took her in his arms. She closed her eyes and tried to hold back tears.
The ambulance pulled inside the hospital drop and the medics took Garet inside. All that Jenna and Isaac could do was waiting inside the waiting room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenna had called everyone who was close to Garet. Starting with his parents and Mia and ending with Felix. All of them were sitting in the waiting room. It had been about two hours since they had taken Garet in. Mia was biting her nails with her head on Piers' shoulder, Garet's family were all sitting and looking pale, Sheba and Ivan were reading two year old magazines, Felix was paying attention to the receptionist who seemed to be very pretty.
Doctor GreatHealer arrived inside the room.
"Doctor, what's wrong with him?" asked Garet's mother.
"Your son's organism seemed to have stopped working for a few seconds. That's enough to make him lose consciousness." said the doctor. "He is awake now. You may go see him but only five people at once."
Garet's parents, Aaron, Kay and his Grandfather all followed the doctor. Felix seemed to have made up his mind and went to talk to the receptionist. Piers decided that he was hungry and went to the snack machine
The Outlaws all started to discuss what could have caused Garet's 'shut down'.
"All of his systems stopped all at once. Almost like…" said Isaac.
"A Mayhem Moment!" said Mia.
"But how could that have happened?" said Jenna. "He was fine all day…it happened so suddenly."
"Something inside the cave must have caused it." said Isaac.
"But then we would have been in the same state as he is. Why didn't it inflict us?" said Jenna.
"I don't know you guys shouldn't go in there anymore. It's too dangerous." said Mia.
"She's right." said Sheba and Ivan.
Felix and Piers came back which made them stop talking. He seemed oblivious to them. He just sat back, almost looking bored. Jenna knew that he was thinking. He was always that way when he did.
Garet's family came back soon after, looking a bit relieved. They learned from them that they were going to keep him under observation for the night.
The Outlaws left for room sixty-seven. Felix and Piers stayed behind. As they reached the room, Mia jumped inside Garet's arms.
"I was so worried!" she said.
"You really scared us." said Isaac.
"This is better than your horror story on Gabomba." said Ivan.
Garet laughed which made the others laugh too.
"I'm sorry I scared you. I guess I'm not as tough as you may think I am." he said.
"We heard they're keeping you overnight." said Jenna.
"Yeah I'll be out tomorrow. Good thing too. I hate hospitals." said Garet. "I still don't know why every stopped. It just did."
"We want to know too." said Isaac.
Just then, Dora, Kyle Felix and Piers arrived in the doorway.
"We are sorry to interrupt but you all need to get home." said Dora.
"Oh right. Coming." said Isaac.
Everyone said goodbye to Garet. Mia kissed him before leaving with Piers.
"Do you guys need a ride home?" asked Piers to Sheba and Ivan.
"Why not?" said Sheba.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Felix's car, it was very silent. Jenna knew that her brother was still thinking.
"So tell me where you were again when it happened?" he asked suddenly.
"I told you. We were hanging out in the old barn we found on Halloween night." lied Jenna.
"And did he just fall?"
"Yes! We've been through this already!"
"I know. I just want to make sure you have nothing to add."
"Well I don't." said Jenna as she crossed her arms. "Just get us home. I'm getting hungry."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Garet got out of the hospital the next day but had to stay home. The school was still closed which made the Outlaws proud of their work.
The six of them were grouped inside Garet's attic room in the afternoon and were talking while playing video games.
"Felix knows something." said Jenna. "He's getting suspicious by the day."
"We'll have to be more careful then." said Isaac.
"I don't think it will help. He'll find out sooner or later." said Sheba.
"Well when he does, we'll hide Jenna inside the Freezer at the corner shop." said Garet.
"If you weren't sick, I would send you back to the hospital." said Jenna.
"Come on. It was a joke!" said Garet.
"That was a pretty cruel joke though." said Ivan. "You know that Jenna doesn't like the cold."
"Fine. Be against me." said Garet as he pouted.
"Awww. Kawaii!" said Jenna. "How can I stay mad at you?"
"You can't!" said Garet.
"Well we have to get going if we want to go see that movie." said Isaac to Jenna.
"Oh right. See you later guys!" said Jenna as Isaac helped her up.
"See you tomorrow, lovebirds!" kidded Garet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenna and Isaac sat at the back of the room with a huge tub of popcorn and a large soda. The movie was about to start (Isaac had chosen a horror movie on purpose). Jenna looked around, feeling Isaac's eyes on her.
"How I loved your peaceful eyes on me. Did you ever know that I had mine on you." said Jenna, referring to the lyrics of the song they had danced to.
"I love you." said Isaac. He kissed her gently.
The screen started to move and Jenna rested her head on his shoulder. It seemed that the movie was as scary as the previews. After fifteen minutes, Jenna was already in Isaac's arms and closing her eyes.
"Hey, let's get out of here." said Isaac.
"Yeah." she said.
They snuck out of their seats and left through the emergency exit.
"Where do you want to go?" she asked.
"I planned something else, luckily." said Isaac.
"What is it?" asked Jenna.
"A look at the sunset on Mt. Aleph. It's a clear night tonight."
"You always have a plan B, right?"
"Yep." said Isaac as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenna watched the twilit sky as she nestled herself in Isaac's arms. It was a soft night. No blizzards were coming ahead and nothing could spoil this great moment. She lifted her head to look at Isaac. He was deep into thought. Jenna couldn't help but melt as she watched him look into the distance. His blue eyes reflected the orange sky and the shadow of a smile lingered on his face.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked.
Isaac looked down at her.
"I was thinking that if I were to choose any person who I could be with right now, it'd be you. I only want to share this moment with you." he said.
Jenna didn't answer. She leaned over and kissed him.
"I wouldn't share this moment with anyone else either." she said.
There. Short chapter but it's now Christmas Eve and it's 8 minutes 'til midnight. By the time I upload this, it's going to be passed midnight. So Happy Holidays to all of my readers! This is your Christmas present right on time.
