I'm SORRY! Really and truly. Here's the new chapter.

That night Sara hogged the couch and the remote. Tyson, Max and Ray had to squeeze onto the second couch which was meant for two people while Sara lounged on three seats. She flicked through the channels.

"When are you leaving?" Tyson asked when Sara started to eat Gummy worms without offering any to the boys.

"Sunday Morning," she said, letting a worm drop slowly into her mouth.

Quickly the boys calculated. Today was Friday that meant there was only tomorrow to get through! Then They would be FREE!

Suddenly the entrance melody to 'Charmed' began playing.

"My Show!" Sara squealed delighted.

"I'm going to bed," Max. Tyson and Ray said simultaneously.

The next morning all the Bladebreakers were sitting in the kitchen making their breakfast. Tyson and Max were spooning cereals(sugar –free for Max) and Ray was making himself a toast. Kai stood leaning against the counter, sipping coffee.

Sara entered the kitchen. She was wearing pink pyjamas that were totally unruffled and her looked completely tousle free. It was as if she was simply trying to create the illusion that she had been asleep.

But who would go into the trouble of doing that?

"Hi," she said brightly and took a bowl out of the cupboard. She looked around and picked up the cereal standing on the counter. She poured some into her bowl and added milk. Then she sat down at the table next to Max.

He began scooting away from her.

Sara finished her cereal and picked up the bowl and carried it to the dishwasher.

The Bladebreakers stared at her, watching her every move, ready to jump up and straggle her the moment she tried to do anything.

But Sara just put her bowl into the dishwasher and returned to the table. When she sat back down she raised her head and smiled at the Bladebreakers.

"I'm really sorry about the way I acted yesterday," she said.

Max spoon froze halfway between the bowl and his mouth. Tyson began to choke on his milk. Ray let the toast burn and Kai spilled hot coffee on his fingers.

"It was really selfish," Sara continued, "I acted like a little brat. I'm sorry. I hope you forgive me." She smiled at them again, her braces glinting the sunlight that streamed through the kitchen window. Then she stood up and glided out of the kitchen. The Bladebreakers remained in the same frozen position.

It took thirty seconds for them to move but when they did everyone began talking at once.

"She's lying!" was the general opinion.

"We can't trust her!" Tyson exclaimed.

"Exactly," Ray agreed, "She's planning something." He shot a dark look at the door through which Sara had just disappeared.

"We have to be extra careful," Max said.

Kai said nothing but he had his own thoughts on what the girl could be planning.

For the rest of the day the Bladebreakers hung around and tried to figure out what Sara was up to. They couldn't spot anything suspicious except that Sara acted so completely unlike herself that there had to be something suspicious going on!

Max hung around outside her room while Sara was inside calling her friends on the phone. The conversations were completely innocent. They talked about some sleep-over that they were planning. But Max still stayed, so long that he got bored by the conversations and finally fell asleep on the stairs.

When he woke up Sara was gone.

"OH NOOOOOOOO!" He ran down the stairs screaming.

"Max!" Sara came into the hallway from the living room door, "What's wrong?" She looked and sounded concerned but knew that it was, had to be, an act.

He stopped short, "Oh you're still here."

"Yes," she held up a bag, "but I was just about to do some grocery shopping. You don't have to come."

She smiled at him and left the house before Max could stop her.

Panicking Max ran through the house. Rushed around the house like a headless chicken he rammed straight into Kai.

"Kai!" Max was delighted to see him, "Sara's left the house! To go grocery shopping she says. Who knows she might buy poison or something!"

Kai immediately analysed the situation. He knew what to do.

"You stay here," he told Max, "Inform the others. I'll follow her."

With these words he left Max and the house to trail Sara.

It was lucky that Max had found him quickly. Sara wasn't yet out of sight. Silently he began to follow her. There weren't many people around so he was forced at times to hid behind trees, or even at one occasion a bush, in order to remain out of sight. But Kai didn't care. He was happy for the occasion. When he had been little he had always dreamed of being a detective.

Sara reached the supermarket and went into it. Kai followed her. He spent his time lingering behind shelves and throwing secret looks out from between Packets of sugar and jars of pickles.

Unfortunately for Kai Sara did nothing more dodgy than by an enormous amount of chips, sweets and coke. Irritated he began to walk towards the exit when he noticed that Sara was coming towards him.

Since he was standing next to the magazine counter he quickly grabbed the first magazine that caught his eye and hid his face in it hoping that Sara wouldn't notice him.

No such luck.

"Kai! What are you doing here?" Sara asked coming towards him, smiling brightly. She was probably calculating how she could get him to carry her bags.

The brown-haired girl caught sight of the magazine in his hands.

"Are you reading that?" she asked grinning.

Kai looked at the magazine he was holding. It was a girly magazine full of horse comics and PINK.

"No," he said immediately dropping it, "I wasn't reading anything."

"But you were just-" Sara began but the Russian cut her off.

"I wasn't reading anything. You didn't see anything. Good-bye."

And he left before anymore harm could be done. Sara stared thoughtfully at his back.


That's it. I hope you liked it. Can anyone guess what Sara is up to?
