Alright I want more than 1 person to review. I don't think I am that bad at writing. Oh and thank you so much Crazy Little Emily at least I know I don't totally suck at writing. But anyway, thank you and you reading this story! REVIEW! I would be so happy if you did. But you know what I love… spell check. Because I can't spell worth a poop so it's like my best friend. And just so you know I might not update for a while after this because I don't have internet at my house so…if I can get to the library soon I will definitely try to update quickly. Oh and I know I forgot in the first few chapters but I do not own this story or any of the characters except those of my own creation. It all belongs to...whoever it belongs to.
"Okay, are you ready? Come on, we have to leave soon for the Gala." Abigail calls to me from outside the door of the guest room I was staying in. I smile, take a deep breath, and open the door to reveal Abigail in a long black dress. She gasps and jumps up and down a little.
"You look so beautiful! Now come on, time to go! We only have ten minutes to get there." She cries as we run out the door.
"And how long did it take us to get to your apartment? Like 5 minutes?" I call. We jump into her car and head out. When we get there a few people had come. "Unless this is everyone I think we could have left your apartment at least 5 minutes later." I tell her. She glares at me and gives me the look that plainly says very clearly, shut-up-before-I-make-you. For about 20 minutes I walk around and talk to people then I see Abigail head down the stairs looking flustered and I could tell was rushing. I look around and follow her. I rush out the door just before an alarm goes off and all the doors close automatically. Meanwhile…
"Ben, get in the van. That Lillia girl is coming out and the alarm is going off now come on!"
"I'm coming Righley." Paul mutters angrily.
"What did you just say?" Abigail asks him yelling.
"Nothing! Its not what you think it is."
"Oh I think I know exactly what it is. Lillia take this inside and make sure tons of security come out. I am going to have a little talk to Mr. Paul Brown." She asys glaring at him. She hands me the Declartation of Independence and I start walking towards the doors yelling my lungs out.
"What have you done! You told me someone was going to steal the Declaration and then you go and do it? What is worng with you?" She asks him. But he wasn't paying attention to her. He was paying attention to a large van that skidded to a halt right behind me.
"Oh no, bad, this is really bad." He says.
"What? What are you talking about?" She asks. She turns around to where the van was a lets out a scream. "LILLIA, RUN!" At that moment I did as I was told and tried to run. I didn't get far though one of the men that had come out of the van grabbed me and threw me in the back of it.
"Oh my god! We have to go after her." Abby screams. Paul grabs her hand and thrusts her toward the van.
"Get in. Righley, drive!" Meanwhile in the van...
"Let me go!"
"Just give us the Declaration and you can little girl."
"No, and I'm not a little girl. I am 15 years old so now shut your mouth you bastard!" I yell.
"Now, miss that was a big mistake." He now says glaring at me. I reach for the back door handle but at that moment everyone goes flying everywhere as we hit a lot of large bumps. I finally find it and start jiggling it as the blond man gets closer.
"Oh, and I guess we never propably introduced ourselves. I am Ian and you are?"
"Lillia, why do you care. Just let me go." I cry.
"First give me the Declaration and I will let you go."
"You know what, I don't think I will." I say finally getting a good grip on the door handle. I was planning on opening it right before I gave it to him and then jump out. Suddenly we hit a sharp turn and the door swings open me along with it. I grab on to it and scream. Behind us I saw Bill driving a smaller red van and watching me wearily. Then as if reading my thoughts it drives up faster and comes to the side of us. The door slides open and Paul Brown leans out the door reaching out his hand.
"Grab my hand!" He calls. I reach for it but the van takes another sharp turn and the door starts moving back to its origanal place without closing however.
The door slides back to its normal position when again it starts sliding back. Ian took his chance then. He grabs the Declaration and, with a simple, "Thank you" he gives a gun to one of his accomplces and he smiles greedily.
Again Paul Brown yells at me and I reach again this time grasping his hand. He then pulls me in and slides the door close as the man starts shooting at us. I fall into Abigail's arms and sit there trying to regain strength in my body again.
"Oh my god, are you okay?" She asks.
"No, those men men have the Delcaration of Independence!" Everyone is silent for a moment before...
"Ben is there something you would like to tell her?" Abigail asks Mr. Brown sweetly.
"Ben? Whose Ben?"
"I am. My name isn't really Paul Brown. It's Benjamin Gates." He says quickly.
"Yeah, and I'm not Bill. My name is actaully Righley Poole." Says the driver. I raise an eyebrow but nothing more.
"Yeah, I could have figured that one out easily." I say smoothly. Then I stop. "Wait, did you say Gates?" He doesn't do anyhting but stare out the window so I took that as a yes. "You're that family with that insane conspiracy theory about the founding fathers!" I remember from my history class. Everyone stares at me. "What?"
"I said almost the exact same thing!" Abigail says clearly surprised. I shrug.
"Great minds think alike." I tell her simply. Then I remember something. "But wait we are getting way off track. Those men have the Declaration of Independence!" I shout.
"No they don't like I told Ms. Chase here, we have it. They have a duplicate." He tells me. I sigh happily thanking God but I stop mid-prayer.
"Wait a minute so you are saying I risked my life for some dumb duplicate of the Declaration of Independence?" I shout again.
"Can you stop shouting you are giving me a headache and I am trying to think." Ben tells me. I sit back and cross my arms angry (think Elizabeth from PotC2 when the men are all fighting on the beach). Abigail starts asking questions and I try to listen in but soon get bored. A fe minutes later everyone was quiet. I look up again and see that Ben had just answered a question of Abigail's and now she was thinking of another one. How did I know that it was Abiagail's turn for a question? Righley, the driver, kept looking back at her from the mirror.
Finally she speaks. "Who were those men?" She asks choosing her words carefully.
"Those were the men we tried to warn you about. Then men that were going to try to steal the Declaration." Ben says smugly.
"Yeah, and you didn't believe us." Righley tells us mockingly. I glare at him and punch his shoulder. "OW! What was that for?"
"For being a rude inconsiderate jerk." I tell him confidently. I hear Ben snort and Abigail try not to laugh. He glares at me but continues driving.
"Here turn here." Ben says suddenly after a minute of silence. He turns as Ben tells him too and we end up in a park where you could see the National Monument (AU: I don't know what it is called, the really tall and pointy one). When Righley stops the van and ben gets out of the car and starts walking back and forth and again Abigail starts asking questions. Again. Finally Ben gets fed up.
"Okay here! You can hold this if you promise to shut up!" I choke back a laugh and groan as she nudges me in the stomach. I roll my eyes and nod, slipping off my heels. Then as he turns away she starts running and I follow her lead and run the other way. I only look back once and see that she had already been caught and Righley was right on my tail.
"Hey, you slow down!" He calls.
"No way! Are you nuts? I did track and lets hope you did too or else you will never catchme!" Then I start running faster and I hear him get faster too. "Crap." I tell myself quietly. I hear him laugh right behind me before,
"Oof!" I fall from tripping on a root of a tree. "Damn, he's fast, and I'm dumb." I tell myself as he grabs my wrist and pulls me up.
"Ha ha, I win!" He laughs. I roll my eyes.
"Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that." I pause and he stares at me. "If I hadn't fallen, you would have never caught me." He glares at me.
"You know what, after this is resolved I am challenging you to a rematch." He tells me. "We'll figure out where later." I nod smiling.
"You are going down." He pulls me back to the van and in a matter of a minutes we are stopping again.
"Ben, you know what you have to do." Righley tells him. I look at Ben and frown.
"I know what I have to do. I'm just trying to see if there is anything else I can do." He responds. Righley shrugs and finally we stop and park. We all get out after a joke from Ben about duck taping us in the back but in the end we all walk up to a house and Ben rings the door bell.
