hey guys, i'm back!!! i wanted to get another chapter up before i left for the weekend, but i might put up another chapter in a couple of days, who knows? anyway, here's chapter 11. enjoy, and please review!!!!!!!

DISCLAIMER: i DO NOT own the Secret Saturdays. i only own Lina

I sat on the edge of my bed, just starring at the picture Van Rook had given me. He had to have been the one to put it on the table. I know it hadn't just gotten up and walked in here by itself. I sighed, my mind spinning with all sorts of thoughts. When I had first come to the Secret Saturdays world I had never expected my life to change as much as it had. finding out that Van Rook was my father had really been a shock, but I found that it was bothering me less and less.

"am I starting to accept it?" I thought. "am I starting to get used to the idea?" I stood and walked over to the window, looking out at the forest surrounding the house.

"hey Lina"

I turned around, blushing. "hey Zak". He walked over to me, Komodo right behind him. "hi Komodo" I said, reaching down and scratching him on the head. Komodo growled and closed his eyes, his long tail swishing back and forth.

"you know, Komodo's never taken to anyone so quickly" Zak said.

"really? I'm not surprised" I mumbled, keeping my attention on the giant dragon.

"hey Lina?"

"yeah?"

"uh…"

I looked at Zak. He seemed nervous and hesitant. "what?" I said, standing up.

Zak blushed. "uh, nevermind". Then he turned and left before I could say anything.

"ok, that was weird" I mumbled. Komodo nudged my hand, and I smiled. "I'm sorry Komodo,I didn't mean to stop scratching you" I said, scratching under his chin. After about five minutes Komodo decided that he was tired of just standing around getting scratched, so he left. I followed after him and collided with Wadi in the hallway.

"hey, watch where you're going!" she snapped.

"why don't you watch where you're going?!" I yelled back. I wasn't going to be intimidated by Wadi, and I wasn't going to back down. We stood there for several seconds, just glaring at eachother.

"just watch it Lina" Wadi snapped, walking past me.

"you'd better watch it yourself" I mumbled, feeling anger rising inside me. I sighed. I hated to be mean, but I couldn't help it. "that girl's asking for it" I thought as I walked down the hallway. When I got to the end of the hall I could see Doyle and Zak standing in the living room. I knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, but I had a feeling that I needed to hear what they were saying.

"so why don't you just tell her?" Doyle was saying.

Zak frowned. "because she doesn't feel the same way. Doyle, everyone knows she likes you".

Doyle laughed. "yeah, but everyone also knows that nothing can ever happen between her and me". Before Zak could say anything else, Drew came over to us.

"guys, come quick!"

I ran into the room. "what's wrong?"

Drew looked at me. "Doc found a girl out in the woods"

"is she ok?" Doyle asked.

Drew nodded. "yes, she seems to be fine, but she's unconscious".

Zak, Doyle, and I followed Drew into the medical bay(well, that's what I call it anyway), and I could see a young girl laying on a long metal table. It reminded me of those forensic shows when they have a body in a morgue. Doc was there scanning the girl's body. When I got closer I gasped. The girl looked so familiar. She had long, curly black hair, and she was wearing jeans and a pink and white stripped shirt.

"oh my god!" I gasped, covering my mouth with one hand.

"Lina, what's the matter?" Zak asked.

I slowly lowered my hand from my mouth. "i… I think I know her" I mumbled.

"really?" Doyle said.

I nodded slowly. "yeah. I think she's my sister".

wow, is the girl really Lina's sister?!?!?! and if she is, how did she get there anyway? and what was Zak going to ask Lina earlier? and what were Zak and Doyle talking about? or, who were they talking about i guess i should say. and why am i asking YOU all these questions?!?!?! lol, anywho, PLEASE review, and be on the lookout for chapter 12, it'll explain everything. by the way, sorry this was a short one.
