I'm back! (: Hey all. Sorry for the two-month wait, but I'm back with a new chapter! ;D Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own nothing. ):
AJ's POV — Written by TeamPiper:
I wake up to the sound of someone knocking on the door.
"AJ—knock, knock. AJ—knock, knock." Sheldon Cooper style.
I pull my eyes open, and yell out a "What?!"
"Hurry up!" I hear in a different voice. I quickly realize who's at my door.
"Lo, Kat I'll be there in a second" I yell out to them.
"Kay!" Kat says enthusiastically. I get dressed, and grab my prepackaged bag for the quest. As I run out, I start thinking about the prophecy again. Emma with a fatal cry. I just couldn't get use to it. I know next to everything about her, but she never seemed like the type to have such a thing. My mind switched to Lena. What was her secret?
My mind snapped out of thinking land when I saw everyone on top of the hill. I saw Lena sneaking up behind another random camper, as if she were about to attack—which would be a bad idea on her part, as he was 10 times bigger then her—Kat was by the fountain practicing making rainbows, Alan was spotting Arianna as she climbed a tree, Emma flirting with Aaron—I decided to ignore that—and Lo pulling Lena out of the fight she had just entered with the bigger camper.
I spotted Cole hiding behind a tree, so I walked over to his side.
"Nice view," I tell him.
"It sure is." he replies. I follow his line of sight and see he's watching Indie bend herself into a pretzel, and unfold, stand up, and start running into a back hand-spring.
"Impressive chick," I state.
"Indie? She's more than impressive."
"Well, have fun Captain Lovebird!" I say, walking away to help Lo prevent Lena from a broken nose.
End of TeamPiper's writing.
"I think we should take the subway," Indie says, walking over to us. "You know, cause Cole is good underground."
Cole blushes and I snicker at him. He shoots me a death glare—which, luckily, did not kill me.
Emma laughs and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, and we get into the camp van.
Aaron, Emma, and Indie sit in the front seat—she curled into a ball next to the gearshift. Lo, Arianna, Kat and Alan sit in the back of the van. Lena, Cole and I sit in the middle section, and for some reason nobody worried about seat-belts, so I get down in the floor and pull my knees to my chest.
Cole sits up in the seat drinking a bottle of water and Lena puts her hands in her lap, looking out the window. I pull my iPod out of my back pocket and put in my earphones, drumming on the floor lightly.
After what seems like only seconds, Lena's tapping me and opening the van door, gesturing for me to get out. I roll my ear-buds up and stuff them in my jacket pocket.
"We're getting on the subway now," Emma says, tucking her hands into her pockets. I notice Aaron staring at her with a light smile and realize my eye is twitching—awkward.
We walk down a set of stairs and into the subway. If my nose could scream, it would've. And died. And crawled back up the stairs gasping for clean air.
The subway, it's disgusting. I seen hobos everywhere, people singing for loose change, and a rat inside of a burrito... I'm not going to describe more; it gets much worse.
Just as we were about to enter the train, the man at the front stops us. "I'm sorry, but there is only room for nine more people. You can wait for the next train, or leave somebody behind."
As if on cue, we all glanced at Indie suspiciously. "Fine," she says and turns toward the ticket booth man. "Can I curl up into a ball to make more room?"
"Ah... we don't normally do things like this, but I will make an exception just this once."
"How'd you do that?" I mutter to her, laughing lightly.
"Hey, my mom's the goddess of victory." she shrugs. "I always get my way."
"Ah." I smile and get on the train. Indie curls up into a ball and gets under the seat.
"Ew!" she exclaims. "There's a piece of gum under there."
"Ick." Emma says and grabs onto one of the poles to help stand herself up.
She curls up into a ball and gets back under the seat anyways, groaning occasionally as the train hits a rough spot in the track and bumps, resulting in her hitting her head on the seat.
The train is super crowded and noisy, making it twice as hard to think then normal.
When the train stops at the next station, I have to shove my way through to get out. Everybody gets off and the doors begin to close... then I notice. We're missing someone.
"Indie." I say, and Arianna's eyes widen.
Cole—of course—and Lo run back onto the train to get her... and that's when the doors close and their eyes widen and they beat against the glass, to no avail.
The thought hits me with a terrible certainty as the train speeds off: we just lost Indie, Cole and Lo on the Subway.
Yes, I know. I'm so evil. Being gone for two months then leaving you with a cliffhanger. Well... considering that I've just gotten back, I'll start our review chart off low.
3-5 reviews — Update in 3 days
5-7 reviews — Update in 2 days.
7-9 reviews — Update tomorrow after school and archery practice. (Probably not likable)
10+ reviews — Update tonight (Not possible though... It's 10 at night and a school night. I will be updating tomorrow though, cause I'm staying up all night, the first Friday I have had internet. I might even update a few more over the weekend, except that on Saturday my cousins come up and it's my grandma's birthday. BUT on the next weekend and Friday, it's my birthday (Friday the 28th) and on Saturday (the 29th) it's my birthday party, so I'll be more likely to update. But I have two essays to write for school, one so I can win 500$ for the new iPod touch XD And sorry for the long AN.
