hello all, i'm back! so sorry i haven't updated sooner, but my laptop's in the shop right now and i have to use my dad's computer. and i only come visit my dad on the weekends. so anywho, here's chapter 6! hope y'all like it.

DISCLAIMER: i don't own the Secret Saturdays. i only own Lina

"i can't believe you've been here for nearly three months" Drew said. i nodded. i was sitting at the vanity in Doc and Drew's room. Drew was standing behind me, brushing my long black hair while we talked. i really liked Drew a lot, and she often told me i was like the daughter she never had. which is why i suspected she wanted to do things like this; brushing my hair, talking about boys and clothes, stuff like that. not that i minded. i'd nver had a good relationship with my mom. she was always too busy for me, and nver had time to spend with me. i was always playing by myself when i was little, and i didn't have very many friends. i had one bff, Heather, but she moved away when i was 9. and my older sisiter Gwen was more like a mom then my mom. i frowned. i had to wonder, if i was Van Rook's daughter, then was Gwen really my sister? was she his daughter too, or was she my foster sister? i sighed.

"this is all so complicated" i muumbled.

"what was that Lina?" Drew asked. i shook my head.

"nothing". she smiled and set the brush on the counter. Doc came into the room just then, and i decided to leave. i was very uncomfortable around Doc, and i didn't want to be near him if i didn't have to be. i knew he didn't like me, and i just stayed away from him. i ran into Doyle on my way down the hall.

"whoa, where's the fire Lina?" he asked. i blushed.

"uh... uh..." darn it, i'd been having a hard time talking around Doyle lately, and i was getting sick of it.

"n-no fire Doyle" i mumbled, shaking my head. i slipped past him and ran into the kitchen. Fisk and Komodo were there. "hey guys" i said. Fisk saw me and picked me up, pulling me into a hug and saying something in that strange launguage of his. "hey Fisk, it's good to see you too!" i laughed. "but i can't breathe!" he mumbled something and put me down. i laughed again. "no wonder Fisk is my favorite" i thought. i heard someone come into the kitchen and turned around. it was Doc. i tensed up and started to leave, but he put his hand on my shoulder.

"Lina, we need to talk" he said. i sucked in my breath, but nodded. no way was i going to say no to him. gulp!

"uh, ok" i said, trying not to let my voice quiver, but it wasn't easy.

"you and Zak are getting close, aren't you?" he said. i fought the urge to roll my eyes. i kind of figured he wanted to talk to me about Zak.

"um, yeah. i guess so" i said. Doc sighed.

"i was afraid you'd say that". he turned me to face him. "look Lina, Zak is my son. my only son".

"yeah, i know" i thought.

"and i know that he likes you, a lot". Doc lowered his voice. "and if you ever hurt him in any way..." my eyes widened and i shook my head.

"what?! i'd never hurt Zak! i'd never hurt anyone!" Doc narrowed his eyes at me, and i blushed. i hadn't meant to shout like that, but i'd just gotten carried away. he was about to say something when Drew, Zak, and Doyle ran to us.

"come on, we've got to go" Drew said. Doc and i followed them to the airship.

"where are we going?" i asked.

"Kumari Kandam" Drew said. Zak and Doyle sat on either side of me.

"cool, Lina will get to meet Ulraj" Zak said, smiling at me. i blushed and smiled back, still feeling a little uneasy about my conversation with Doc. after about half an hour, we came to Kamari Kandam.

"wow" i mumbled. "impressive".

"so what are we here for mom?" Zak asked Drew.

"we're not sure" Drew siad. "Ulraj only said that he needed our help". we landed on the small island across form the place where Kumari Kamdam had surfaced. then we all had to put on these wetsuit things and dive underwater.

"oh man, i hate the water" i groaned. when we finally got to the city, Ulraj and a few guards were waiting for us.

"hello Saturdays. i am so grateful that you were able to come" Ulraj said. then he noticed me standing beside Zak, and his eyes widened.

"who are you?" he asked. i smiled a little.

"uh, hi. i'm Lina".

"she's with us. long story" Zak said. i swear, Ulraj's jaw practically fell to the ground, and he stared at me for a few seconds. then he seemed to snap out of it, and turned to Doc and Drew.

"we are in desperate need of your help. we haven't been able to fish in nearly a week, and my people are starving" Ulraj said.

"what exactly is the problem?" i aksed. i got my answer when an earthquake started, and i was thrown against Zak. then i saw a giant squid-like creature coming right at us.

"that, my dear, is the problem" Ulraj said. "the kraken".

LOL, Ulraj likes Lina!! i was watching the King of Kumari Kandam episode, and when i saw Ulraj, i pictured him liking Lina, lol. although i don't know why. anywho, chapter 7 should be coming as soon as i get my beloved laptop back, which should be sommetime in the next few days. so i hope y'all enjoyed that, and please review!
