We were still plummetting to our doom. I shut my eyes and I saw my mother come closer.

Leo, you must keep living... she whispered.

I'm not going to make it... I tried to tell her.

Your father already lost me...how do you think he will feel if you don't come home...

It was a terrible time when my mother died. He didn't eat, didn't sleep, he was gone...I couldn't let him go through it again.

My eyes shot open and I grabbed on the side of the cliff. My hand scraped across the rocks and I hissed in pain. When I was finally able to grab hold, Lili past me. I grabbed her flailing arms.

She looked up at me, her eyes wide from shock. She looked back down. I noticed we were only a couple more feet to the ground. Lili let go of my hand and landed gracefully onto the dirt. How she is able to do that, I don't know.

I followed her.

"We're going to have to find our way back." I told her, I was surprised at how calm and collected I sounded despite my fast beating heart. Lili glared at me.

If looks could kill, I'd be dead.

"How can you be so calm!" she shouted.

"What do you expect me to do? Panick?" As much as I wanted to scream and run arounnd crying, I remained cool.

"You should be! We fell down a cliff, we're in the middle of nowhere all because of you!" now she has completely lost her marbles.

"My fault!? Your the one who wanted to race!"

"But if you had accepted my offer in the first place then we wouldn't be in this mess."

"What!? That didn't even make any sense!" I cried.

"I gave you a chance to take the offer of a rematch, but you said no. So I had to do a car race!" I was wondering if she had hit her head on the way down because everything coming out of her mouth was nonsense.

"Do you hear how you sound right now? You sound like a rematch obsessed retard." She scoffed.

"Rien pourquoi can' ; t vous acceptez juste un défi ?" she muttered.

"Don't speak french in front of me!" I commanded. She glared at me again. I took a deep breath. Lili was really pushing my buttons. And right now wasn't the time for me to pile drive her until she was no more.

"You want to get out of here, or not?" She nodded. So far so good. "Alright, then we are going to have to walk the way?" I turned on my heel and walked left.

I honestly didn't know which way I should turn but maybe if we just kept walking we'd find our way to a house or something. It was worth a shot.

1 hour later...

"Kliesen-"

"Just leave it to me." I reassured her. But then I realized...this place looked awfully familiar.

"We passed this rock." Lili stated. What!? How can we be going in a circle? And how did she even recognize a rock?

"What makes you think that?" I asked her.

"It looks like Brad Pitt." she told me pointing at it. Well it looked more like Tom Cruise but that was probably just me.

"Then we just go the other way." I turned a different direction.

Another hour later...

"Kliesen? You know where the hotel is right?" Lili asked. No. But I wasn't going to tell her that. "I knew I should have asked my daddy for a helicopter." Must be nice being rich. Everything on your fingertips.

I faced her. "Don't worry your little head." I winked and continued on my hopeful quest home.

3 hours past...

"Wait! I have my cellphone!" she announced pulling it out.

"You forgot you had a cellphone!" Wow this girl is crazy. She tried turning it on and she frowned.

"Forget the cellphone idea. I can't get a reception." I kicked the dirt in anger. This is so bogus! "I thought you knew where we were headed?" she asked me. Uh oh.

I smiled weakly at her. She looked like a parent about to scold a child. "I thought I did." I admited, rubbing the back of my neck. A nervous habit.

" ' I thought I did.' " her sugary sweet voice dropped a few octaves lower, imitating my voice. She then plopped down on the dirt. I decided we might as well rest.

But I had to go to the bathroom. Bad. I looked around me and saw a nice row of trees that probably won't give me an infection. I was heading over there when Lili cried,

"Wait don't leave me here."

"Don't get your panties in a bunch, I have to take a piss." I told her.

"Your going to leave me alone so you can pee?" Well yeah, that's the whole point.

"Are you coming with me?"

"Forget it. My feet hurt." she massaged her feet.

"You want me to pee here?" Lili made a face at that.

"Go! Hurry!" I grinned and headed towards the woods.

I strolled through the forest looking for a nice tree. I found one and walked over to it. I unzipped my jeans and squatted down.

I tried not to dribble over my shoes. When I was done I zipped my jeans back jup and kicked the dirt around a little I rushed back to where I left Lili. Hopefully she didn't wander.

I was then face to face with said person.

"I told you to stay." I reminded her.

"As much as I want to see you lubercating on tree roots, I came to tell you some good news. That man over there wants to give us a ride." I looked behind Lili at a man about twenty. He gave me a smile.

I looked back at Lili.

"We are not getting into a stranger's car." I told her. She stomped her foot. I hope a pebble or something ended up in her foot or something.

"What! Your going to actually refuse! Do you have issues with offers. Or what?"

"We don't know that man. For all we know he can be a rapist." Lili looked back at the man. He winked at her and she turned 1000 shades of red.

"Please Leo. We both don't know where the hotel is." I crossed my arms. I was not going in that man's car."Look, we'll just go in, borrow his phone, call Mr. Chaolan, tell him where we are, and he can come pick us up."

This girl was not going to give up.

"Fine. As soon as we get in I'm calling Mr. Chaolan." Lili got all giddy and ran for the car, her heels in her hands. I trudged behind her and climbed into the backseat.

"So, what are your names?" the man asked.

"I'm Emilie. But you may call me Lili." Lili giggled like a school girl. Wait, she is.

"Lili, Un bello fiore." he sang. Lili giggled madly.

"I don't know what you just said, but it sounded beautiful."

"And what is the other Donna's name?" he asked me. I didn't want him to know my real name. So...

"Meinyard." Lili scowled at me.

"her name's Leo." Lili babbled. i kicked her in the chin.

"Quanto angelico." he murmured. I rolled my eyes at him. "What brings you fine ladies out here at this time."

"We got lost." Lili said trying to sound seductive. She reminded me of Ms. Williams, Steve's aunt and our science teacher.

We finally got to the house and he let us in.

"May I use your phone?" I asked him immedieatly. I wanted to get in and get out. He tsked at me.

"In uno sbalzo, you seem starved. Allow me to make you some dinner."

"No." I said. The man looked surprised at my pushiness. Lili crossed her arms at me.

"Don't be rude!" she whispered.

So I was forced to sit at the table with the two people I had a strong distaste for. I realized that I hadn't caught his name.

"Excuse me. You know our names," I made sure to glare at Lili, "but we don't know yours." he smiled at me.

"My aren't you a persistent one. Women should be more like you." I had to admit that he had me there. I didn't say anything afraid I might stutter. His smile fell.

"Niccolo is my name." Lili leaned over the table like she was engaged in a really interesting conversation.

"What does it mean?" she asked.

"It means Victory." he winked at her and she almost had a spasm attack. When she was 'sober' she scraped up the last of her parmesean. "Thank you so much, Mr. Niccolo, that was delicous." Mr. Niccolo, huh?

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, principessa." he finally noticed I haven't eaten. "Is everything alright?" he asked me. It took me a split second to come up with a good enough excuse.

"Actually I already ate." I lied. It wasn't true at all, and I was surprised no one heard my stomach growl at that exact same moment. Then I remembered. "But I really need to use your phone." He looked at me for a long time.

"It's upstairs." he said blandly. I was outta of there before he can finish. I climbed up the stairs and froze.

No light was on or anything. I felt around for the switch. When I found it I tried switching it up. Nothing. I tried again but nothing.

Well that's just dandy. I walked blindly through the hallway until my eyes could adjust. I saw something that shaped a table. I brushed my hand around looking for the phone. Bingo!

I picked it off of the reciever and dialed Asuka's number.

Beep

Beep

The number you dialed can not be contacted, please try again.

I tried calling Hwoarang's number.

Beep This number is out of service.

I tried calling Steve's number. This time he answered.

"Hello?" his british accent made my hope skyrocket!

"Steve! It's me Leo!" for some reason he didn't hear me.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"It's Leo!" I cried. The phone disconnected. Damn this stupid phone. I slammed it on the table. I tried to resist the urge to throw a tantrum. I trudged back but a door nearby opened.

I looked at it in curiousity. Lightning illuminated the room. I hadn't even realized there was a storm. Papers that were hanging on the room's wall began to flail around crazily from the harsh wind.

I didn't know why but something drew me inside. I entered the room and lightning flashed again. I was only able to catch a couple of words that was typed up. I walked closer to the papers and grabbed one of the sheets.

Romano Miller age 12...

Lightning flashed

Romano Miller age 12...due May 5.

A cloth was suddenly wrapped around my mouth. I tried to wriggle out of the man's grasp but he was too strong.

Everything went black...

(Third person)

Lee Chaolan was checking the hotel rooms, making sure all the students made it home.

He opened the next door and Ling almost screamed.

"I'm sorry I startled you." he apologized. Ling just nodded, still shaking. She was reading a book. On the other side of the bed was a lump that he assumed was Lili sleeping.

He closed the door apologizing again. He flipped his hair and headed to the next room. he opened the door and saw his neice watching Rush Hour 2.

"Uncle Lee, don't you know how to knock?" Asuka asked him. "For all you know I could have been changing." Lee entered the room.

"You know I do this every night while your sleeping."

"Quite frankly, that's just creepy." Lee rolled his eyes. He eyed the other bed's lump. He didn't notice Asuka tense up at that.

"I think Ms. Kliesen would appreciate it if you turned down the television." Asuka just grinned. "It's funny. Ms. Rochefort next door is alseep too." Asuka just shrugged.

"they had a pretty big day." When Lee finally left the room Asuka adjusted the pillows. AKA Leo. She continued praying.

Steve and Hwoarang were sleep. Until Steve's phone rang. Steve got out of bed. Since he wasn't really sleep. Who could after what just happened. He climbed out of bed and picked up his phone. He didn't recognize the number.

"Hello?" he asked.

"St...me...-" the line was breaking up.

"Hello? Who's there?" he asked.

"It's-" the line caught off. Steve was left flabbergasted.

What do you think? That's what reviews are for.
