Chapter 10

Dan's POV

"We need to find something about Hercules." Meg said. We all split up and started looking- again.

"What's up my homies?" An unknown voice called. Meg just rubbed her temples. She called back, "Alex, if you are caught surfing the library shelves one more time-"

"Chillax, Meg. I'm not doin' anythin'."

"Your brother?" I asked for clarification.

Meg nodded.

"Hey guys!" Amy called, "I think I found something!"

We all gathered around her. Meg stole the book and read, "Hercules had one of the strongest swords in all of Ancient Greece because it was supposedly made by Hephaestus himself."

"Who's that?" I asked.

"The god of forging." She explained.

"Forging? Making fake copies of something?"

"No! He's a blacksmith!"

"Oh, okay."

She kept reading, " His sword was made out of celestial bronze. That's it! Celestial bronze!"

"Fo shizzle!" Alex exclaimed.

"Thank you for being so convenient." Ian came out from behind a shelf.

"Ian! How could you?" Amy cried.

"All part of the game. But after it's over....... you want to go out?"

Amy jabbed him in the ribs.

"Okay, okay, you have the right to be mad."
"You think!" I screamed. "Why don't you just go find the clue by yourself? Oh wait, I know! You aren't smart enough!"
"No. It's because I like annoying you. And why would I get the clue myself if when you are right here?"

Before I could answer, Meg shouted back, "How's your leg feeling? If you want, I can make the pain double, or perhaps bust the other leg."

"You mouthy, annoying child. You are too much of a nuisance to me. You will pay for that. But not yet. You better watch your back."
"You better watch yours. I don't think I need to be worried about you attacking me." She retorted.

Natalie's POV

This girl has a temper! I looked at the way Ian took offense to everything she said. If the Cahills stuck with her, we won't have any chance of winning the 39 Clues. She was a big threat.

And the way she had her hand on Dan's back- oh it made me (I can't believe I'm saying this) jealous.

"It will be worse than me." Ian was saying.

"You are such a threat......." Meg laughed.

Anger bubbled up inside me.

"Shut up!" I yelled.

Meg just retorted, "Oh, so it's your sister that you are going to send to attack me." The Cahills were almost rolling on the floor with laughter.

I won't be embarrassed like this. I pulled out my dart gun and shot it right at Meg's forehead. She didn't even flinch. Out of midair, she grabbed the dart just inches from her head.

"Looking for something?" Meg asked smugly.

"Why, you!" I sneered. I glared evily while Dan started laughing even harder. I thought he was going to pass out.

"Now's our chance!" Amy said.

Dan's POV

We ran out of the library and went down the street. On the left we found a giant hedge maze. Out side of the beginning was a man giving out brochues for the maze and maps. We didn't have time to stop and get one. We just ran into it.

"I'm sorry to say this." Meg said, "But we are going to have to split up."

Amy went to the left, Meg went down the middle, and I went down the right. Alex was no where to be seen. He must have left while Ian and Meg were having their face off.

There were only two options. He bungee jumped off the library roof or he was surfing the library shelved, meking them all cave in on the Kabras. Both were very probable. But then everything went black.

Yay! My biggest chapter so far. Hope you like it. And thanks for the awesome reviews. A bunch of great ideas from it. Enjoy!
