Hey. I hoped you liked the 'Lost Chronicles'. I also hope it gave you some idea of what happened, and what will happen in the future. Enjoy!
(Previously in New Friends, New Trials...)
Amy looked down and gasped. There was Dan, unconscious, and soaked in blood.
Hong Kong.
Nellie put her finger on Dan's wrist.
"He has a pulse. It's weak, though!" she yelled. Amy felt like she could die from relief. But that wouldn't do any good. Alana was calling an ambulance. Amy looked at Dan, lying on the street. Blood was soaked into his shirt, but at least there were no visible injuries on his head.
"W-where's Uncle Fiske?" Amy stuttered. There was almost nothing left of the Hummer. Alana peered into the window.
"It was a trap. Your uncle's not in there." she said grimly.
"We have to find him!" Amy said, panic rising in her voice.
"We will, but Dan's out top priority now." Nellie said, trying to stay calm. Amy nodded, focusing on the task at hand.
"Where's all the blood coming from?" she asked in a scared voice. Nellie gingerly lifted Dan's shirt up an inch, showing a huge, bloody gash across his lower stomach. She tore off one of her sleeves and pressed the fabric against the wound.
"He needs CPR." said Nellie, noticing his extremely shallow, ragged breathing. Zai was staring at Dan. Blond hair...green eyes...blood... suddenly, Zai was back in his old home in Hawaii. Kaha was running off to save his sister. Two shots...screaming...he had blond hair and green eyes, just like Dan...there was blood...so much blood...
I can't let Dan die, like everyone else died. I failed then, I won't fail now. I can't!
Blood started pounding through his ears. His vision became fuzzy again. He stumbled.
"Are you okay?" Amy asked fearfully.
"I'm fine." he snapped. He took a couple deep breaths.
"Let me handle Dan." he spoke up. "I know CPR."
"So do I." piped up Amy. CPR was another of the many skills she had learned in the past year.
"Dudes, no way." Nellie stepped in front of them. "I'll handle this."
"No,-" Zai started to object, but then he started to think. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation? Maybe not...
"Better you than me." he said quickly. Nellie nodded, then leaned over Dan. First, she made sure nothing was stuck in his throat. Then, she put her lips to his and forced air into his lungs. Finally, she pumped lightly on his chest. After about thirty seconds, Dan coughed and opened his eyes.
"Dan!" Amy sniffed. She was still crying a little.
"...What...where am I?" asked Dan. He started coughing, and his face twisted up in pain.
"Don't talk," Zai told him. "An ambulance is on the way." Dan coughed again, then closed his eyes. Just then, they heard sirens approaching. All traffic had been blocked off to make way.
"Over here!" yelled Alana, trying to signal the ambulances. There were two of them. They turned onto the bridge and pulled up beside the wrecked Hummer, sirens blaring. The doors opened, and two paramedics rushed out.
"There he is." Elias pointed to Dan. But instead of trying to help, one of the paramedics slowly reached into his scrub and began to pull something out.
Wait a minute...thought Nellie. The paramedic was pulling something out of his scrub.
"GET DOWN!" she yelled. Amy and Alana dived behind their car, while Nellie and Zai crouched next to Dan in the wreckage of Elizabeth's wrecked Hummer. Elias slipped behind a support beam, occasionally popping out and opening fire with his trusty Beretta.
"What's happening?" screamed Amy.
"Those paramedics must be Vespers, too!" Alana replied.
That's really low, thought Amy. Just then, she spotted the other fake paramedic pulling out a syringe and start walking toward Dan.
"Zai! Nellie! LOOK OUT!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Nellie and Zai leaped up. Zai confronted the fake paramedic. She was wearing huge sunglasses, a very high collar, and gloves. Zai couldn't really make out her facial features.
"Why can't you people just leave us alone?" asked Zai, attempting to snatch the syringe from the Vesper's hand. She didn't answer, and lashed forward to stab Zai on the shoulder with it. Zai grabbed her wrist and yanked, trying to throw her off balance. As he grabbed her wrist, her glove got shoved a few inched down her hand. he noticed an long, jagged scar down her wrist.
"Hey! You're the one from back in the hotel!" Zai shouted. The woman grunted, and yanked her hand free. Zai shot a quick glance Nellie.
"Nellie! You've got to get Dan out of here!" he yelled. "Elias! Cover Nellie as she carries Dan to the car!"
"I'm on it!" yelled Elias. Nellie carefully picked up Dan, and half carried him, half dragged him toward the car.
"Go with Nellie!" Amy told Alana, as they watched from their hiding place. "You can get out of here, since you know your way around!"
Alana nodded. "On the count of three, run as fast as you can toward Zai. Elias should keep them busy."
"Got it." Amy said. She was breathing hard.
Alana took a deep breath. "One...two...THREE!" Alana bolted around the car and jumped in. Amy leaped up and sprinted across the street to where Zai was fighting a woman with a syringe. She watched as Nellie drove the Hummer down the street and around a corner. She was just about to yell something to Zai when she heard another siren in the distance.
"Zai!" she yelled. He looked back at her for a second.
"What?" he asked, dodging a punch from his opponent.
"We've got to get out of here! There are more of them coming!" The sirens were close now.
"Nngh!" Zai grunted as the woman kicked him in the stomach. "Tell Elias! We need to retreat!"
Amy nodded, and looked over at Elias. He was ducking behind a beam, shooting and dodging shots.
"ELIAS!" she screamed. "WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE, NOW!"
Elias shouted something back, but Amy couldn't hear him. She was just about to shout again when three more ambulance-disguised Vesper vehicles pulled up, Vespers pouring out of them.
"Look!" Amy screamed again. Zai broke away from his fight and ran toward the edge of the bridge. Amy was right behind him as the Vespers slowly surrounded them. Amy's heart was thudding so loudly she was sure that Zai could hear it. Elias had also retreated, and was backed up against the edge of the bridge.
Now, we're REALLY going to die, thought Amy. She looked at Zai.
"Zai, it was a pleasure meeting you-" she began. Zai interrupted her.
"Shhh! Wait." he whispered. "Hear that?" Amy strained her ears. She could hear the sound of an engine, but it wasn't a car engine. She peered over the edge of the bridge. Suddenly, a black speedboat zoomed out from under the bridge, and stopped directly beneath them.
"JUMP!" someone yelled to them from the speedboat. It was about fifteen feet down into the water.
"Why haven't they shot at us yet?" she whispered to Zai.
"They must need us alive." he whispered back.
"Should we jump? It might be a trap." she fretted.
"Well, either that, or we stay up here and get captured." He looked over at Elias.
"Jump!" he yelled to him. Elias nodded, his eyes invisible behind his shades. Zai grabbed Amy's arm and hurled himself over the edge.
"AAAAAAA!" They screamed, the water rushing up to meet them. Zai gasped. It was surprisingly cold.
We've sure done a lot of falling tonight, he thought. He and Amy swam up to the speedboat. He heard a splash. He looked back to see Elias stroking toward them. Zai, Amy, and Elias clambered onto the boat, just as the Vespers on the bridge opened fire. The driver, who was clad in black and wearing a mask, sped off, zigzagging across the water to avoid being hit.
"Who are you?" Amy asked fearfully. The driver turned around and slowly pulled off his mask. Amy gasped when she saw him.
"Hello, Amy." Ian smiled.
That wasn't so fun to write, since I was getting back to the current chapters. The new ones will be better than this, I promise. Also, I want thirty-six reviews on this chapter before I post a new one. So start reviewing!
