Starting Over
Disclaimer: I won't even bother cause you've all read it if you've read the first two chapters.
Chapter Three: What's This? Disobedience?
Drew paced, waiting for Doc to tell her that they had arrived at their destination. It had been a week since she had found out that Maria was still alive. A week since Sarah had come to them.
A week since they had found part of the key to opening Kur's tomb that was contained in Sarah's necklace. "Drew we've arrived." Drew quickly looked up. "Are you alright mom?" "I'll be fine." "Drew is this about Maria?" Looking away Drew sighed. "Drew she's our enemy now. You can't keep acting this way." "I know," she sighed, "It's just-" Drew spotted Maria walking around as though waiting for someone. "Maria!" Maria quickly spun a round, "Drew!? No! He said that you wouldn't be here, that I wouldn't have to fight you"
Maria shook her head. She turned to leave when Drew grabbed her wrist. Maria looked frightened now, her eyes were huge. "Maria is this what you really want?" Every muscle in Maria's body stiffened, "You have to help me, if I try to leave, he'll-" She suddenly fell limp. "Maria!" "That's enough out of you Maria." Van Rook growled. Maria fell to the ground, "Hate you..." she mumbled.
Maria got up, "I'm sorry," she whispered running past Drew. She swung at Doyle, the steel claws on her glove just missing his face. Doyle glared at her, "Why don't you just go jump off a cliff?" Van Rook laughed, "If only she would, she'd deserve it." Maria spun around, her thick braid swinging over her shoulder, "Me? I'd deserve it?! At least I don't kill innocents! You need to go jump off a cliff"
she shreiked. Zak and Sarah tried to sneak away, "And where do you think you're going?" They both looked up only to meet Argost's cold eyes. "I do believe girl, that you have something of mine.
And I'd very much so like it back." Drew looked past Van Rook, "Zak! Sarah! Run!" Sarah froze, she started remembering things that she had tried to block out. Her hands began to shake as she started to back up. Screaming,
she fell to her knees. "Zak!" Drew yelled, "Get her out of there!" Zak did nothing to show his mother that he had heard her, his hands shook as he saw everything that Sarah saw. Grabbing Van Rook's wrist Drew threw him into a tree, "Zak!!" Drew rushed over, she shook his shoulder, "Zak what's wrong?!" Once again Maria swung at Doyle, this time scratching his arm. "Is that all you can do? Just a little scratch?" "It takes only a little scratch for the toxin to enter your body." she said smirking.
"Toxin? What kind?" Maria's smile grew even more triamphant, "The kind that numbs the infected area so you can't move it. And I can dispose of you." "Doc!" He turned from his fight with Munya to look at Drew, she wasn't doing well trying to protect Zak and Sarah. Doc kicked Munya into a tree and ran to help Drew. "No Doc. I can handle this, please go help my brother." Doc looked over at Doyle, who was currently getting his butt handed to him by Maria. "HEY MARIA!" She looked over, slightly annoyed, "Yes?" "You're about to experience technical difficulties." Maria cocked her head to the side, "Hmmmm?" Suddenly a shock of electricity ran through her body and she passed out. An electical disrupter was stuck to her jet pack, which of course had caused the short. A few hours later Doc, Drew and Doyle sat waiting for Zak and Sarah to wake up. They woke up at the same time, both jumping up. "Zak!" Drew yelled, throwing her arms around him, "What happened back there?" "I don't know." "I have a theory," Sarah said quietly, "Zak has a special bond with cryptids, right? Well I'm part cryptid and I think he somehow tapped into my mind and saw all the memories that I remembered." "Mom I think Sarah's right." Zak lightly touched his forehead, "We can't let her go back there," he whispered. "Zak what do you mean?" He looked up at his father, "We can't let her go back there, not now not ever." Several weeks later Doyle sat in the airship next to his sister, "You're sure I have to go to this party thing?" "Yes." Drew answered for the fifth time within ten minutes. "Remind me why I have to go again please." "Because we're gonna need your help if Van Rook, Maria or Argost show up." "Right Maria. She's a person I will thourghly enjoy beating the hell out of." Maria paced back and forth, annoyed with the fact that she was bored out of her mind. Van Rook walked past the open door of her room, "Ahh...Good I was looking for you." "What"
she said looking up, the trance broken. "No not you! I'm pacing and I only do that when I'm bored out of my mind and I really don't feel like hearing it from you about what I said to Drew again. So go away." "You're bored?" "Yes, I have nothing to do!" she snapped. "Well I have something for you to do then." Fifteen Minutes later "I hate you. I hate you so much right now." "You'll get over it Maria." "No. No I won't. I don't mind the mission you've given me, but you're making me wear a dress. It's a dress. It's absolutely horrid. I don't wear dresses. Ever." "It isn't horrid. I spent a pretty penny on that dress and for once you actually look nice." "Shut up." "So that's what you look like as a red head." Van Rook said,
laughing as she pulled the short red wig over her pinned up black hair. "Remember the plan, you're to pull the alarm to signal me to come and get you once you have the stone." "And if the Saturdays are there?" she asked, examining the short black lace gloves. "You'll pose as an innocent and I'll kidnap you." "Yeah because being kidnaped was soooo on my list of things to do today." "You're the one who complained of boredom." "Shut up." Later that night Drew stood in the middle of the large ballroom, waiting for any sign from Doyle or Doc that something was wrong. Someone bumped into her and she turned to meet the eyes of a young red haired girl. "I'm so sorry," the said. "It's quite alright. I'm Drew." "I'm Analise." the girl said returning Drew's smile. "Drew!" "Doyle what's wrong?" "Didn't you tell Zak and Sarah to stay in the airship?" "Yeah. Why?" "Dear, turn around." "Doc? Zak, Sarah!" Zak laughed nervously, "Uh hi mom." "Why didn't anyone notice them sooner?" "Because they dressed for the ocassion," Doyle said. This was very true, Zak was wearing a tuxedo and Sarah wore a floor length white dress with a purple sash and bow. "Doc will you please take them back to the airship?" "Yeah." "Zak you said this would work." Sarah whinned. Drew turned around to apolagize to Analise, but she was gone.
Fifteen Minutes Later Doyle walked around the room for the third time, he was getting bored, quickly. Suddenly an arm shot out of the hallway and grabbed him. "What the?! Hey you're that girl that Drew was talking to!" "Yes but you might recognize me this way." she said pulling the wig off. "Maria?!?! Dr-" "No!
Don't tell them I'm here! Please!" "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't!" "Because I need you're help." she pleaded. "You work for Van Rook why should I help you?" Maria pulled out the artifact that she had been sent to steal, the one the Saturdays had been asked to protect. "I've had amnesia all these years, I had no idea what I was doing. Here take this. I have a fake that I'll give to Van Rook. I can't just leave because if I try he'll kill me. So I'll be a spy until I have to leave Weird World." "Weird World?" "Yes, I work there. Now what I'm about to tell you is of the utmost importance.
Understand?" "Yeah." "Good. In five minutes I'm going to pull the fire alarm, that's my signal to Van Rook. He'll come in and I'll still be in disguise and he'll kidnap me. When that happens you and your family come after me." "Why are you doing this?" "I have my own reasons for wanting to bring Van Rook down. But most importantly you can't tell anyone about me, understand? I always that there was something he knew about me that he wasn't telling me. I'm pretty sure that he doesn't know I've got my memory back, so it all works out for me. Remember, five minutes." she said pulling the wig back on.
Five minutes later The fire alarm sounded and everyone went into a panic. Drew, Doc and Doyle turned in the direction that the sound of breaking glass came from. Van Rook grabbed the red haired girl and left.
"Doc we have to follow them! Come on!" "Do you have it Maria?" "Yes," she whispered handing him the fake. "Start acting. Here comes your rescue party." "Let me go! Please! Let me go!" "If you insist," he said dropping her. Doyle accelerated, if she hit the ground from this hieght she would die. Doyle caught her, "Nice to meet again." They landed on the ground safely, until Van Rook grabbed her. "One move and she dies"
he said aiming his wrist laser at her head. "I don't think so!" Zak and Sarah yelled jumping at him and causing the laser to misfire and hit her in the shoulder. "Zak, Sarah! What have you done?" Drew yelled. Van Rook started to laugh, "Too bad she's not innocent." he growled pulling the wig off. "No.
Stop it. Let go." "Maria!?" "I said let me go Van Rook!" she yelled bringing her fist around to punch him. He caught her fist, "Temper, temper Maria. It will get you into a lot of trouble if you don't learn to control it. Come on we're leaving." He wrapped his arm around her waist and took off.
Sarah noticed something on the ground, "Hey what's that?" Drew picked the previously said object up and looked at it, "What Van Rook sent Maria to steal"
Maria flinched, "Owwww." "If you would sit still it wouldn't hurt as much." Van Rook growled stiching her shoulder up. "If you were a bit more gentle I would sit still." "There, I'm finished." he said. They both stood up, "You know Maria, I did mean what I said earlier." he said, eyeing her chest. She tried to slap him and he grabed her wrists and slammed her against the wall. Maria closed her eyes in fear as a sob escaped her lips.

I just love cliff hangers, don't you? I shall write more in time, I'm so evil making all of you readers wait to find out what Van Rook does to Maria.
