A/N: Hey guys. I'm back and wondering what happened to all of my reviewers. I mean, seriously guys, I used to get 20 or more reviews for each chapter and now the most I get is 8. Come on, I know you guys can do better than that. Your reviews make me happy and if I'm happy, then the faster you get an update.
Okay, well now that I got that out of my system, READ ON!!!
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight!!!
Soundtrack: Fences by Paramore (the lyrics kinda match the clue, but I'm not too sure about that -shrugs- oh well)
Chapter 21: SWAP
(Edward's POV)
"What did the clue say?" I asked Jasper as we walked back to our dorm.
Jasper cleared his throat and read:
Put on your mask
To help complete this task
Take a walk across the stage
To help find the next page.
"That's easy," I said. Emmett and Jasper just looked at me. "It's the old theater building on the girl's campus. They quit using it after they built the new one over here."
"How do you know that it's in the old one?" Emmett asked.
"Well, they built the new one the year after that girl who's leaving the clues graduated in 1959. So, she probably put the clue in the old one, so that it would stay there."
"That make sense, I guess," Jasper said. "But if your right, then we'll have to let the girls find this one."
Emmett and I nodded as we reached our dorm and climbed the stairs to call the girls and give them their next clue.
(Bella's POV)
I had just gotten off the phone with Edward after he told us about the clue that they had found.
This one was probably the easiest of them all so far. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett had already figured it out for us, so now all Rose, Alice, and I had to do was find the next one.
"Come on, guys," I called from the door of our dorm. "How long does it take to put on a jacket?"
"We're coming," Rose called back, as she and Alice came out of their rooms.
"Finally," I said. I was eager to get to the old theater building. The faster we found the clues the faster we could see our boys and I was in desperate need to see mine.
We walked casually over to the old building and slipped inside when we knew that no one was looking.
Once we were inside we split up to look for the next clue. Rosalie went to the back of the building, Alice went up to the balcony, while I went up to look around the stage.
The stage was covered in old props from previous plays, dust-covered boxes, and other odd things.
I walked over to the far side of the stage to start looking. I moved boxes aside, looking for the clue. I don't know how many times I sneezed, there was so much dust covering almost every inch of this building.
For thirty minutes, I looked for the clue and found nothing but a few dead spiders, more dust, and a really creepy looking clown head (what it was doing here in the first place, I had no idea).
I climbed off the stage and called to Alice and Rose, "Have you guys found anything yet?"
I heard a crash and some coughing coming from the balcony. I rushed up the stairs to find Alice covered in dust, coughing her head off.
"Alice, what happened?" I asked. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I spun around to see who it was. I let out a sigh of relief. It was only Rose.
"What happened?" she asked as she waved some dust away from her face.
"That's what I just asked," I said to Rose as we turned back to Alice for an explanation.
She coughed again before she said, "Well, I was climbing up on that ladder over there to look in those boxes up there." She pointed to what looked like a ledge that had many boxes piled up on it. "And I saw a box that was marked 'masks', so I opened that one up and looked through it and I found it!" Alice started to jump up and down. She pulled the envelope out of her pocket and waved it around. Rose and I joined her in the jumping for a minute.
"But what was that huge crash we heard?" Rose asked when we had calmed down a bit.
"Well, as you can see, I got a little excited and I might have tried to get off the ladder to fast and I lost my balance and kinda fell off the ladder and brought half of those boxes down with me," Alice said all in one breath with a sheepish grin on her face.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she said. "Let's get out of here. I really want to take a shower now." She looked down at her dust-covered body. Rose and I laughed.
We made sure no one was near the building before we left for our dorm. After we had all taken showers (how we got that we could get that dirty in thirty minutes was beyond me), we called the boys to tell them that we found the next clue.
When we told them that Alice fell off a ladder, we cracked up at their reactions. Jasper was asking frantically if she was okay (I think the question "Did you hit your head?" came up once, which only made us laugh harder), Emmett just burst out laughing, and I heard Edward chuckling in the background (he had told me the many stories of when Alice fell off things because she got too excited).
After we hung up the phone, we all headed to our bedrooms. We had just made it back in time for curfew when we had got back from the theater building. I was exhausted after today. All I wanted to do was sleep and dream about the boy that I was one step closer to seeing again.
A/N: Okay, folks, that's it for this chapter. Hope up enjoyed that. Anyway, so I have this system and this system is my new updating system. Since I have two fanfics running at the same time, I thought I could split up the update times. I will be updating this story about once a week and I will be updating my other story about twice a week. My work load has finally let up for the moment, so I have more time to write and stuff.
So… yeah. Anyways, review, people, REVIEW!!! Just push the small purplish-blue button at the bottom of your screen. It's not hard, I promise.
Asta til next time,
Kitty
