AN: I don't own MI High, or anything you may recognise. I just own Demi, Jamie, Amanda, David and Patterson. And I've decided on my update day. Hopefully in future I should be able to update every weekend. I may update during the week sometimes, but there will always be an update on Saturday and Sunday.
Demi's POV
Amanda seemed fascinated by everything that was happening. She went wild upon seeing the red crystals that they were selling, so I bought her one. As I handed it to her, she threw her arms around me tightly. "Thank you!" She said, beaming. I smiled back and looked around for my father. We eventually found him stood by the stage watching Flatley introduce the author of Blade Quest. I think his name was William Todd Williams? Behind me, Jamie remarked, "What a stupid name." I chuckled, and walked over to my dad. "There you are! Where have you been? I've been trying to contact you for... Who's that?" He said, looking at Amanda.
"This is Amanda. She's my half-sister on Mum's side." I briefly explained, as Amanda hid behind me, obviously afraid. "Amanda, it's OK. This is my dad. He's not going to hurt you." I said, looking down at her. She stared up at me, biting her lip, before looking at Frank. "Hello." She quietly said, clutching my hand. He briefly smiled at her, before saying to me, "Are you sure it's her this time?" I looked at Amanda, and nodded.
"I mean, if you want, we can get it tested. I think we look very alike. It just so happens that she looks more like mum then I do." I confidently said.
"Ok, if you think so, I'll trust her. I just don't want you to get hurt again." He said.
"Well, I don't want to get hurt again either, but somehow I don't think that she can do me much harm." I answered. He shrugged, and I looked at his hand. "Why do you a shield? As far as I know, wizards don't tend to carry shields." I asked, pointing to the shield in his hand.
"I've set it to detect the amplification crystal. Then we'll know who we're looking for." He explained.
"Good idea." I said. "Anyway, I'm going to go and find Jamie and David. I'll leave Amanda with them, and then I'll come back and help with the mission." I continued, and he nodded. I grabbed Amanda's hand and we walked off, not knowing that someone off to the side was watching us, making notes on what we were doing. And should we make one wrong move, they would strike.
David's POV
I was stood with Jamie when Demi ran up to us, dragging little Amanda behind her. "You OK?" Jamie asked.
"Yeah, can you take Amanda? I just want her to be safe." Demi asked. I nodded.
"Sure, I don't mind." I said smiling.
"Whatever." Jamie shrugged, and Demi sighed.
"Thank you so much. When this is all over, we will go bowling, I promise you." She said, giving me Amanda's hand, and running off.
"It's no problem." I called after her, as Jamie smirked.
"Of course it isn't. Anything Demi wants, you will do. Isn't that right David?" She asked.
"What are you implying?" I asked, and she shrugged.
"Nothing. I'm just stating that it's really obvious that you fancy her David. Do I seriously have to force you two on a date?" She asked.
"No. Besides, she doesn't like me in that way. She likes Tom." I shrugged.
"Then get her to like you! It's simple David! Buy her stuff, take her on walks, I don't know! Just do whatever you need to get her to like you. If you really like her that is." Jamie said, taking Amanda and picking her up. "So, shall we get out of here and go to the zoo? I do believe they have tigers there." She said.
"Yay! Tigers! Roar!" Amanda cried, causing me to laugh.
"Oh, she's Demi's sister alright." Jamie muttered, as the three of us left.
Demi's POV
After dropping off Amanda, I decided to go back to HQ. Maybe I could help Tom with surveillance. As I entered the base, I found my dad and Tom staring at the pictures of the missing equipment. They briefly glanced at me, before returning to looking at the board. Dad began to attempt to put the pieces of equipment together, as if he was trying to create a larger machine. "What are you doing?" I asked.
"Tom has a theory. He reckons that the thief stole the equipment to create something much larger. We're just seeing if that works." Dad explained, as I joined them in staring at the board. After getting bored, I sat at the computer in time for a picture of a woman to appear on the computer screen. "Who's she?" I asked. Tom looked at the screen before saying, "She's our thief. Dan, Aneisha and Zoe are currently interrogating her." I nodded, and asked,
"Do we know who she is?" Tom shook his head, and sat down next to me, running facial recognition on the picture. Apparently, her name was Doreen Doidge, and she was the president of the Blade Quest fan club. What a surprise. Is this seriously all to do with these books? What am I missing? I sighed, as Zoe's voice came through the speaker. "She's still refusing to tell us anything. All she's saying is that she works for the Order of the Red Claw. What do we do?" Tom picked up his leaflet on Blade Quest and said,
"In the books, the eye of Nasworth is taken to the Cave of Souls."
"The Cave of Souls, did you just say? What a nice name. Very cheery." I remarked.
"How does that help us?" Zoe asked.
"Well, the cave's been recreated for Blade Con." Tom answered.
"OK, there's the plan. One of you pretend to be our thief and go to this 'Cave of Souls' and see what's going on." Dad said. Oh how fun.
"Do you want me to go too?" I asked.
"You can if you want. Just be careful." He answered. I nodded and got out of my seat, entering the lift. I wonder who's actually behind all this? I mean, it can't actually be the Dark Wizard, can it? It's all just fiction, right?
AN: And I'm going to end it there! Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!
