Chapter 5- Clone Trouble

I don't own the The Suite Life of Zack and Cody or Lilo and Stitch The Sereis. By the way, Smiles4Ever, you might want to skip the first 2 paragraphs because the spider's in them. Just warning you.

London paled as the spider advanced upon her. It swung a large, vicious pincher at her and hissed. Remebering her martail arts skills, London manged to par the pincher and summersault under a few of the legs, until she was directly under the underbelly. She then saw the piece of wood that Maddie had droped earlier. She dived for it and gripped it between her hands tightly, as though that would take away her fear.

"Okay," she said a confident voice that had a slight quiver to it. "I'm about to show you what happens when you mess with the MY hotel and MY friends. With that she jabbed the underbelly with the wood. It didn't go through the skin, but it seemed to startle the spider enough so that she and her friends could run into the elevator and close the doors.

She turned to Moseby, who was putting the unconscious Maddie on the floor. "Well, I never what to do that again."

"Ditto." Cody was panting heavily. He was slouched over, head in his hands. He looked really scared. His sweater vest was torn in five places and his hair was sticking out all over the place.

"Well, let's go over what's happened here. First the lobby was flooded, then a giant spider was unleashed in the hallway. I think we can definitely cross out pranks and vandalism." Zack said, pressing the 23rd floor button and the elevator started to move.

"He's right," Carey agreed, nodding her head. "Not even Ilsa would try and do this."

Suddenly, the elveator stopped and the doors opened. But it wasn't the 23rd floor, instead, it was between floors. There were beams and rope wire sticking out all over the place. London looked up and saw something that made her heart stop. It looked like... But wait, she was unconscious, right next to London.

"Maddie?" London managed to croak out.

But it didn't look like Maddie. This Maddie was dressed in a black tank top, black jeans and boots. Streaks of black pierced her sunny blond hair. Her hands, which were decorated with black bracelets and nail polish, were placed on her hips. She was snarling.

As London brushed back a strand of black hair that was in her eyes,she was surprised that her hand was trembling. Why was she so scared? It was just the candy counter girl.

Just then, clone Maddie began to flip and summersalt her way across the bars and ropes. 'Okaaaaaaaaay, maybe that isn't just the candycounter girl.'

"So you finally noticed," the dark Maddie said out loud.

'Wait a minute, she can read thoughts?'

"Yep."

'Well then, what are you doing here?' As London was communicating with the clone Maddie, everyone in the elevator was looking at her. They all had expressions that she usually regarded everyone else with. The look that said, "You're insane."

Just then, the dark Maddie reached the elevator. "You are so pathetic. I've attacked 2 of your friends today and you STILL don't know what I am? No wonder nobody thinks you have any brains."

London flet her painc rising, but also something else, something that she had never hoped to feel. Sadness. Well, wasn't that why she had blocked everybody from entering her world for so long, so she wouldn't get hurt?

"Well, I might as well tell you, but I don't think you would have the brains to understand. I am your worst fear."

This time London spoke out loud. "But my worst fear isn't spiders and water. "And," she said with the small laugh she usually did while she was criticizing someone, "it sure isn't Maddie!"

The clone rolled her eyes and sighed, like she was dealing with an incompetent 3 year old. "Water was Zack's worst fear and spiders was Maddie's. But this IS your real fear. Your fear of being hurt by someone that you care about and you thought cares about you."

Suddenly, the real Maddie woke up just as the dark Maddie grabbed London as threw her out of the elevator.

"London!"

Cliffhanger! Sorry, but you'll have to wait 'till the next chap to what happens to London. That's the bad news, the good news is I just figured out how I'm going to finsh the story! Anyway, Smiles4Ever, sorry that I creeped you out, and Cody wasn't in the story until the 3rd chapter. UPDATE!
