The 39 Clues

  Chapter One: Allie Simmons  
     Allie Simmons was walking home from school when it happened again, what continuously got her into trouble. A willow tree's branches were growing rapidly before her eyes and started swinging from side to side, knocking over a mail box and a power line. Allie started to jog away and her heavy backpack slammed against her. Her head swiveled from side to side; no one had noticed the strange happening yet, but someone would. She ran into a yard and moved a post in a fence.
 
      She crawled through the opening and ran across the local park. Then she saw a bus pull up beside what she called home. The Local Child/Adolescent Orphanage had taken in children and teens since 1804. It was about as big as a church and it was old. The sides of the building were crumbling and the roof sagged. Allie joined in with the kids who piled out of the bus and kept her head down low. She heard taunts from one of the windows on the bus and turned to look.

      "Hey! It's the nature freak!" the school's most popular, most nasty, most rich girl called out. Allie watched others peer out the windows to look at her and she flicked her hand inward. All the windows shot up and Little Miss Perfect's nose was slammed by one and made a satisfying snap. She suppressed a grin and laugh while others were laughing hysterically.

      Allie heard screams and tore through the small crowd and flung open the door. She rushed upstairs and up another flight of stairs. She went to the door to her left and quickly climbed up her ladder and onto the top bunk of a bunk bed. She put her bag behind her head and groaned. She had let her anger get the best of her. She had just used...the thing. The power that scared her, the power that made her different, the power she wished she never had.

      Just what was it? What did it make her? Why did she even have it? No one else knew. No one could help her. She had no family, no friends, no one to rely on. She sat up and opened her bag. She pulled out her homework and tried to get started on it while the others girls came into the room, talking and laughing. She couldn't wait to be eighteen. Then she wouldn't have to be here. Just three more years, she told herself while studying for biology class.
Hopefully, her problem would end by then.

Katelin: k cool. y do u prefer my writing style over urs? i think they're pretty similar

Chapter Seven: The Dark

The Dark was alone.

He didn't really mind. He was used to solitude. Other beings annoyed him anyway. They all were stupid. He could get along with the ones that knew it (sometimes), but the ones that didn't normally ended up getting incinerated.

If the Dark had a face, he would have smiled at the thought of demolishing one of his enemies.

He stood, his black cape swishing as he did so. Perhaps he should train more. The new two Clashers were more powerful than any he had faced before. Even though the Dark knew they were no match for him, training kept him in his warrior frame of mind. Plus, it was fun.

As he left his cave and entered the jungle around it, the wind picked up, getting through the few gaps in his black armor, which clanked slightly as he walked. He could have stopped the wind with a wave of his hand, but he liked how it blew his hood slightly. Finally, the trees around him became to thick for the breeze to get through, and the air became hot and humid again. The rainforests of Africa almost always like this. The heat didn't really bother him at all. Where he'd lived before he had come to the rainforest had been much hotter.

As the Dark walked, he thought. The new Guardian was untrained and hadn't yet learned of all that she was capable of. The Annihalator on the other hand had practiced with his powers more than her. However, he was ruled by his emotions, and the ease with which he used his power would always be somewhat hindered because of this.

The Dark snickered. They were both amateurs. It made sense that they would be. They were only kids after all.

Of course, that didn't mean he would show them any mercy. The time for him to begin hunting them was near.

The Dark sighed as he realized that he was growing tired of hunting Clashers. They were almost too easy to defeat. The first Clasher he had ever faced had been a true challenge. However, now they were weak. The last two clashers had barely fought against one another. These two children showed promise, but he doubted they would ever become strong enough to make good sport.

Perhaps the time has come, the Dark thought, leaping easily up onto the branch of a tree. After all, I only have two thousand years left. I must begin creating an empire, like all of the Light Warpers before me.

Yes, maybe the time had come. These two Clashers would be the last two he faced before he began his reign of total dominion. It would extend beyond Earth. That was for sure. He would also take over any other habitable planets in the galaxy. Perhaps then he would be strong enough to battle the Shadow Warrior, the Light Warper who lived in the nearest galaxy to this one.

It will be over a hundred years before I am strong enough to face such a master, the Dark thought as he leapt to another tree. I shall take things one at a time, as I always have. It will start with the children. Once I have destroyed them, I will bring Earth under my dominion. Then I will begin to create an army strong enough to take over the galaxy. After that, I will need to take another Light Warper as a student, to train as my heir. Then I will consider battling the Shadow Warrior. But only after I have destroyed the children.

The Dark smiled. Destroying the children would be fun. The time to leave the jungles was soon. Hunting season had begun.

That was awesome! Call me Elzia by the way!

  Okay, fine girls..........I'll be our 5,000,000,000 fan! :P
________
Don't know Kaleb. I think your writing is more interesting, at least the way you phrase things. They might be similar, but I really don't read what I write....I just..ugh...write it. :P
(Also, I think we mixed the chapters up on the last page near the beginning. :P)

Chapter Eight: The Dream
     Allie jerked awake and looked around. She glared at the leaves above her. She was up on a tree limb and had slept leaning against the trunk. She rolled her neck and tried to pop her back. The dream had been so confusing. She'd seen only shadows, but a voice, chilling, murderous, like nails on a chalkboard. Allie knew it was someone's thought, how she knew, she didn't know.
   
     She tried to concentrate on the dream.
I must begin creating an empire, like all of the Light Warpers before me.
Then she fell out of the little dream, but after a while, entered again.
 I shall take things one at a time, as I always have. It will start with the children. Once I have destroyed them, I will bring Earth under my dominion. Then I will begin to create an army strong enough to take over the galaxy.
The rest was like an annoying hum, but one thing stood out.
But only after I have destroyed the children.

What children? What the heck was a Light Warper? This guy was sick, that much she knew. His mind was pure evil. Thoughts Allie couldn't have dreamed up. She couldn't be that imaginative....right? Allie had a feeling she had something to do with this. Then, something she hadn't remembered was forced to the front of her mind. Claiming all her attention.
The new Guardian was untrained and hadn't yet learned of all that she was capable of. The Annihilator on the other hand had practiced with his powers more than her. However, he was ruled by his emotions, and the ease with which he used his power would always be somewhat hindered because of this.

    Well, she figured the boy or Annihilator or whatever was Kevin. She knew that for sure. He was stubborn and impulsive, she'd observed. Was she the Guardian? What was this girl capable of? Also, now that she thought about it, who sent the wind? She pushed her hand outward, and downward. The tree limb lowered to the ground and Allie slid off.

   She brushed off her clothes and looked around. Where was she? A forest? Woods? She decided to try something... If she was Guardian, then what was she guarding? The children? The world? Or had her mind finally snapped? She had some bruises and sores from last night's fighting and bombing. She shook her head to dislodge the images. Had it really happened?

  She started to walk an overgrown path and she hummed a little. What was she going to do? Someone was after this Guardian and Annihalator or whatever, to destroy all power and take it for themselves. So the Guardian and the Annihalator must be the children. Suddenly, there was rustling in bushes near by. Allie froze, but then, a doe stuck her head out and looked around. When it caught sight of Allie, it froze.

   Allie started making little noises in the back of the throat and the doe slowly moved away from the bush, and toward Allie.
"Come on girl," she whispered. "It's all right." Then a shot rang in the air, disturbing the sweet tune of the birds and water lapping rocks near by. The doe fell to the ground at Allie's feet. She gasped and heard cheers from somewhere close. She had to get out of there.
A tear slipped out as she looked at the poor doe. Then, she turned around, and ran.



    She stopped after she couldn't hear anything, and she had already passed the little waterfall. The water hadn't looked clean enough to drink so she hadn't tried. She gripped her stomach. Her back and her bike had been left in Manhattan, New York. Stupid, stupid, stupid, she told herself. How was she going to survive? She decided to slip away into dream land.
 
     She thought about a cheap thrift store where she could get nicer clothes and hopefully clean. Then she heard lots of strange noises, like carts being pushed, and a baby crying. She opened her eyes and found herself, in a thrift store. With her mouth agape, she looked around. The store wasn't like JCPenny's or anything. But it was nicer than what she had now and at the orphanage.

     She snapped her fingers and a twenty dollar bill appeared in her hand. She looked at the man a few yards away. He wouldn't notice that gone from his wallet. Right? She wasn't going to steal the clothes though, this is the kind of charity place that gives to orphanages and Allie knew that clothes mattered to some orphans. She grabbed a cart and pushed toward an isle.

    A woman was staring at her like she was an alien. When Allie caught her eye, the woman quickly looked away. Allie must have been a mess. She grabbed a backpack she found for two dollars and then found a water bottle for a dollar. Thrift stores equal cheap bargains. She made it to the clothes isle and grabbed a black jacket, three overly large t-shirts, two pairs of pants, and two pairs of shorts.

    She found some new tennis shoes she might need and added them to her load. She found a baseball cap for the St. Louis Cardinals and added that to her loot. She pushed the cart until she found something that made her stop. There was a shadow, a deep dark shadow that didn't match with the surroundings. She took a deep breath and pushed to the next isle, when she looked back, the shadow was gone.

    Her mind really had snapped, she thought and realized where she was. The boys’ isle. She remembers Kevin. Would he have clothes? Would she ever see him again? She grabbed some dark colored t-shirts and a few pairs of pants. If he didn't need them, she could use them for other things. After, she had bought all she could find that she might need, she paid for it all and left.

    Everyone had stared at her. Seriously, did she really look that bad? She opened the door to get out when the old man who had lost a twenty thanks to Allie came up to her.
"Young lady, I know what you are. You have talents," he whispered. Was he insane? But he had that wise look, so Allie listened. "The Dark is coming for you. He won't stop until he's killed both you and the boy. You have to kill The Dark; it's the only way you can save yourself and the whole existence of our world." Allie's mouth hung open.
"Okay," she whispered. Did she really believe him?
"Don't forget, no matter what The Dark tells you, you have to unite with the boy, no matter what he says or how he acts. Defeat The Dark, it's the only way," the man said again and disappeared into thin air. What was that?

She left the store, pondering the last five minutes of her life. She had no clue where she was or how she had gotten there. The thought now, of a nice, clean bathroom where she could freshen up. She closed her eyes, opened them, and she was there. No one else was in the bathroom and so Allie changed into jeans, t-shirt, new shoes, and she tried to fix her hair. Without a hairbrush, it was kind of difficult.



So she shoved it into a sloppy ponytail and she put on the jacket. Then she thought again, this might be a big mistake, probably was. She closed her eyes and thought of Kevin. She opened her eyes, and there he was.
"Whoa," Kevin said, stepping back. Then his posture became defensive. "What are you doing here?"
"Um hi," Allie said quietly. "Here," she thrust the bag with his stuff in it at him.
"What's this?" he asked, confused.
"Just things you'll need. Now listen, Iiiii....um....had a vision and there's this creep....... and he's trying to kill us," Allie stuttered.
"The government?" Kevin asked.
"No, he's called The Dark," she whispered. "He's trying to take over the universe."
Kevin laughed, "Really? When can I meet him?"
"Kevin, I'm serious!"
"Simmons, listen to me, you and I, we can't be friends," Kevin said coldly, indifferently.
"I'm not saying we need to be friends! We've just got to defeat this guy!" Allie replied, frustrated.
"Why would I?" he asked. "If he wants power, who am I to take it from him?"
"A smart person!" Allie answered.
He chuckled low, "Who ever said I was smart?"
"Ugh," Allie groaned. "You're so infuriating!" This time, he laughed for all he was worth.
"Shut up," Allie demanded, but he laughed harder. "You asked for it," she muttered and she curled her hand inward.
Kevin was knocked to the side and tossed up and down. Then she decided to try and MAKE him listen. She cringed and tried not to gasp. He had gotten stronger. How? Or had she just gotten weaker?

'Stop' she told him. 'Think about it, the government wants us. We have the power to take over the world. This weird guy wants that power and is going to use us to get it. I think I remember, you don't like being used. Well, neither do I. So are we going to take this guy down? Or not?'

She relaxed her hand and Kevin hit the floor. He jumped up and she could tell, he was ready to fight. She looked around, where were they? Kevin must have understood her thoughts because as she hit an invisible wall, he said, "This is my mind."
"What?" she mumbled as she tried to get her thoughts together.
"You entered my mind," he repeated and she looked around. Blank, white walls. There was nothing except white. No floor, no ceiling, no ending.
"How are you feeling?" he asked, almost politely as Allie hit another wall.
"Please stop," she whispered. For a moment, he almost complied then he sighed.
"Allie, Allie, Allie. I don't really think we can exist in the same world," he said quietly. What was he getting at?
"What?" Allie asked, not really understanding. She was already somewhat weak, and hunger added to that.
"Would you mind if I just killed you now?" he asked and gave a small smile. Was he evil? Insane? Did he not understand? Was someone or something controlling him?

Then a shadow appeared that threw everything into darkness. Then an evil, cold, chilling laugh echoed throughout Kevin's mind.
"Kevin!" Allie shouted, alarmed as Kevin sunk to his knees. Then, Allie felt herself being whisked away, out of Kevin's mind. She groaned as her head hit something solid and hard. Then everything was dark.


{Sorry, I know it was long.....but it just kept going and I didn't really try to stop it. :P Hope it was okay guys!}
       

Awesome! :D

I'm the 4th biggest fan of this stoy. Please continiue

Wow really good!

totally epic sig! and great chapter! loved it!

one thing that might help u 2 write better is write like how u read. normally when i read, i picture the whole thing kind of like a movie in my head. when i write, i want everyone else 2 b able 2 do this 2. so i almost subconsciously am more descriptive in my writings. that might b y i phrase things slightly different from how u do. and i almost never read what i write either, so i don't know how our writings could really b that different lolol

i'm getting kicked off of the pc now, so i'll have 2 write my next chapter later tonight. just one thing 2 say. now is when the story needs 2 start getting really complex. like with that old guy. i like that. i was thinking that the war that's going on could be World War III. we might want 2 start explaining that a little bit more. and i think we need something 2 make the story a little more... i don't know... heavy, maybe? more serious. more intense. i don't know. i guess we can come up with something. the best action stories all have a bit of sadness and a bit of romance. i have absolutely no idea what 2 do with either one, so maybe u can help me out lol

Correction!!!!!!!!!!!! Allie did not leave her back in Manhattan......just her bike and backpack. :P Sorry about that. :) Also, I'm disconnection auto correct from all my devices.....grrr.....As well as she remembered Kevin.......not remembers......Anyway, other than the mistakes...I hope it was okay. :)

Hey, my name is BreakingHurricane5 or Spencer and I need two other people to write a story with me. So I decided I needed the best authors on the message board. And my research leads to you two. I'll tell you about the story later because I have to go!

wow. i'm starting 2 get really far back on the number one fan list lol. what r we at? five? six? lol

i'm not quite sure exactly what's going on at the moment (like y we passed out), so could u clear things up 4 me a bit before i write my next chapter?

@CrimsonCobra242

and

@LivlyJade1

Can you guys please check my story on all posts called:


LOOK, I WAS ONE OF THEM, (A story of a former Vesper.)

I need some expert advice! Thank you sooo much for reading this post!

Thank you everyone! :)

@Kaleb: Yeah, the sig was just something that came to me. I can do sadness and tiny little bit of romance. It's not what I'm the best at writing (in my opinon), but next time I post....I'll try to get more....intense. Thanks for the advice! Yes, I do try to do that and while I'm writing it, I write whatever picture shows up in my mind. Sadness...well Allie is an orphan....I can dig more history on that
.....Also the romance......between whom? *duh moment* Oh.......okay, I can kinda do something about the romance as well. I've been doing research on stuff like this.....and so far, we're doing pretty good. Apparently, the most important thing is to enjoy it. Thankfully, I am. Can't wait till you post later! Wonder what's going on with Kevin and The Dark.....Hm.....

It's great! But in your sig it's "we will all lose" not "we all will lose".

Freakin AWESOME!! This is GREaT!!!

~*Star*~

@Kaleb: I'm not for sure......That's what you get to decide... This could be the part where The Dark meets Kevin or at least finds him........Or it could be something completely different......And because Allie only entered his mind, she is still in the bathroom, but he did get the bag she gave him.
So it's your choice and I really don't care if you made the shadow be some rabid dog that jumped on Kevin, knocked him to the ground and somehow messed with his mind and Allie's. :P Like I said, your choice. Also, yeah I think we've got 4 biggest fans.
#1 Camila
#2 Eliza
#3 Kim
#4 AgentAdventure2

@Gabriel: Hi! Haven't talked to you in a while........but now I'm confused....I got the 'we all will lose if we give up and our efforts fall short' from a song about Harry Potter. The rest just came to me when I heard the song. But that's not my grammar. Someone else's. Guess I should've explained that earlier. :P


@AuthorBlue4: Yeah, sure I will! Expert advice? Sorry, I laughed at that part, but definitely, I'll read it. :)


@Spencer: Okay, um......depends on what Kaleb says.......If Kaleb's in, I'm in. If not.....who else would we write with? Also, do you want to just make a thread where we can talk about it there?  Thanks for considering me to write with you! :)

Just to let you know, LivelyJade1 you need to post on the Cahil Game Show(I think)

I guess I can be your #5 Fan. Anyways I love this post. You guys are both awesome writers!!!!! Please keep going!!!

So I just did a thread to tell you about it! Please look at it!!

This story is amazing! You guys are awesome writers! :)

~Anna 

I'll post on Cahill Game Show after I'm done babysitting tonight.

Thanks guys!

Clear things up? Um.......so what happened was like telepathy, but she was in his mind in spirit. (Not body, she was still in the bathroom) It's complicated...I read about something like that once in a history book. Anyway, then The Dark (or whatever you want the shadow to be) intrudes (with his powers, or him himself) and forces Allie away. I don't know what happens to Kevin though. :P I don't write about him. :P
But if you want to know what happened to Allie, she hit her head on a sink from the force of the power of The Dark (or like I said, whatever you want).

So......that's about it. If you're still confused........Just post anyway. :P It's what I do and normally people are pleased. Most of the time, I am confused. :P (Especially when I post on Burning to Ashes, Gabriel) (:P). Well, can't wait until you post and I hope I cleared things up a bit. :)

sorry i haven't written yet. i started it and then accidentally clicked off my browser (i know that seems impossible but it has actually happened to me more than once. go figure lol). we're leaving now, so i'll work on it tomorrow  

It's fine Kaleb! :) Also, there's a thread Spencer and I need you to look at please. It's under my posts and it's got your agent name in all caps as well as mine. :) See ya!



Hey, could someone do me a HUGE favor? I've been trying to get on here all day, but my internet is worse and isn't working. :( Sooooo if someone could please go on
The Cahill Game Show (the one I write with Gabby)
and please explain why I haven't posted. My screen is flashing and saying it's about to crash. Gotta go and thanks!

Chapter Nine:

Kevin stared as men appeared out of the trees around him. Something had hit him in the neck right before he'd seen them. They men were clad in black, and they all held very lethal looking guns.

"You might need to hit him again!" one called to another. "It doesn't look like the sedative is taking effect!"

Sedative? That was an important word. One he was sure he knew. So why couldn't he remember what it meant?

Suddenly, the world tilted crazily, and suddenly he was lying on his side in the grass, though he'd felt no sensation of falling.

"Nah, it's working alright," another man shouted. "Cuff him!"

Spots began to swim in front of Kevin's eyes, and he blinked, trying to make them go away. His arms felt like lead, and he couldn't move them. He didn't have to. Someone grabbed them ruffly and pinned them behind his back, and he felt cold metal tightening around his wrists.

Kevin then felt himself being lifted, and right before he passed out, he made out a black van sitting on the dirt road that Kevin had followed into this forest.

When he woke, his hand went to his neck, and he grimaced. It was really sore for some reason. He realized he was sitting in a black leather chair, at a long table in a conference room with walls made of glass. There were offices opposite the conference room on both sides, as though it were sitting in between two corridors.

Kevin realized that a woman who looked to be in her late twenties was staring at him warily. She reached up to her ear, and Kevin realized she was wearing an earpiece.

"He's awake," she said, not taking her eyes off of him.

There was silence as the person on the other end of the conversation responded.

"I thought you were going to send someone else up to help me!" the woman said, sounding scared. "What if he attacks me?"

There was silence, and Kevin concentrated, focusing on the woman's ear. A man's voice on the other end suddenly became clear.

"You've got your handgun, don't you? What are you afraid of?"

"The guns didn't work very well on him before," the woman replied.

"That was when he was fully conscious. Now, he's recovering from a very powerful sedative. His concentration should be shot. And besides, despite his powers, he is still a human. If you don't give him any reason to, he shouldn't hurt you. Just talk to him, make him like you, and get him to work with us."

"Fine."

The woman removed her hand from her ear and smiled at him. She seemed pretty new to this job, and though Kevin was angry at being kidnapped, he couldn't be all that mad at this woman.

The fact that she looked like she could have been a successful model probably helped.

"Hello, Kevin," she said. "You're probably wondering where you are. You've been brought to the Pentagon."

"Why does my neck hurt?"

"We had to sedate you because you probably wouldn't have come willingly."

"What do you want? Are you going to lock me up?"

"No. We need your help."

"For what?"

"I'm sure you've heard about the war that we've begun with China."

"Yeah."

"Well, what you experienced in New York was the first attack on American soil since Pearl Harbour, if you don't count 9/11. We knew that troops were headed our way, but we didn't know that the AAOP had united with the Chinese, so many of our troops were stationed on the Pacific border. By the time we discovered the enemy troops, it was too late to put a stop to it without starting a nuclear war, and that is the last thing we want."

"Is that why New York got bombed?"

"Yes. The AAOP sent in an air strike. The fighting in New York has stopped now, and the AAOP's troops were pushed back. However, we don't believe we have enough strength to stand against both the AAOP and China. We've contacted our allies, but we may need help more immediately than our allies can provide us with. We have no choice but to call to you for help."

"What's the AAOP?"

"The African Alliance of Power."

"Sounds like something from a comic book."

"This isn't something to joke about. The African Alliance of Power has taken over nearly the entire African continent. Though they are still their own individual countries with their own governments, they all share the same, massive military force, and they have created a ruling council, kind of like the UN, that keeps peace in the many countries."

"Hmm. Funny that I didn't know about this."

"It was only created recently. It was all over the news, so I'm surprised you didn't see it."

"Oh. That's why. I never watch the news."

"Anyway, Allie Simmons has escaped, and we can't located her. Our only hope lies with you. Will you serve your country?"

Kevin thought. Why should he help America in the war? But why shouldn't he? He was American, wasn't he?

"What about everything I've done?" Kevin asked. "Once the war is over, are you just going to throw me in a jail cell?"

"Kevin, I don't think a jail cell has been invented yet that can contain you. If you help us, your record will be clean."

"Just like that?"

"Yes."

"And what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Well, there are so many uses for someone like you. We could have you go behind enemy lines to retrieve information. Sabotage the enemies plans. Wipe out enemy forces. There will definitely be a use for you."

"And if I refuse?"

"Well, if you refuse, there isn't much we can do. However, if my superiors get angry enough, they may find a way to turn you into a traitor to the United States, and a spy. Then, they'll probably try to kill you."

"Ha. We saw how that worked out before."

"Kevin, you may be powerful, but you're not invincible. It's only a matter of time before someone finds a way to destroy you. Wouldn't you rather just join us?"

Kevin sighed. There was something else that he was taking into account, something that the woman hadn't mentioned. He couldn't run for his entire life. He didn't want to. Eventually, he would have to settle down, perhaps in deep cover where no one would ever find him.

And not use my powers? Kevin thought. Yeah right!

"And I can just leave whenever I want to?"

"I... I suppose. No one can really stop you," the woman replied.

"I'll do it," Kevin said. "But everything must be done under my conditions. If not, I'm gone, and America can burn. Also, I want to work alone. I won't need any troops with me."

"Fine," the woman said. Kevin could tell that she was trying to hide her excitement. It shown through her blue eyes.

"What about Allie?"

"We don't really need her. I suppose having two super humans wouldn't be a bad thing, but she's not our main concern at the moment."

The woman stood, and Kevin stood as well.



Katelin, I got an idea! The American government is going to start hunting Allie, since they think she might be in league with the Chinese. That's how Kevin and Allie really start fighting. Then, Kevin will want to hunt Allie more than stay with the Americans, so he'll leave them. Meanwhile, the Dark will be working his way up the Chinese government, preparing his plan to take over the world, as more and more countries get involved with the war. What do you think?

I actually love the idea! I'm sick right now......so if the post isn't good........tell me and let me redo it please. :)
Also, I had a friend of mine read this and I'm supposed to tell you....Her favorite part was about the 'successful model' part.

Chapter Ten: I Promise
When Allie woke up, her head pounded and she looked around. She was in that bathroom. What had happened? She wasn't going to try and find out. Seriously? Kevin had tried to kill her before. Why in the world would she care if he had clothes or not or even if he was okay? Kevin was the enemy. He'd made that clear. She stood up slowly and tried to adjust her vision to this new angle.

She looked in the mirror, she had some blood on her forehead and she gently washed it off. The safest thing to do would be to leave and not take anything. That would be safest. Then, there was a thump on the ceiling. Allie looked up and she heard voices. She kicked her bag under a stall and she leaned against the wall.

"We've got her. She won't be helping them anymore," a voice said and laughed.
"They thought they'd have a boy handle her over us," the other said.
"Ridiclous!" the other agreed.
What were they talking about? Then she heard a tick Bomb. Oh no. She closed her eyes and thought of a really busy place. Easy to blend in. Easy. She opened her eyes.........She was at the market. People were jostling her around and she tripped, landing on the sidewalk. She pushed herself up and she was beside a phone booth. Her powers were weak. She was weak and in pain. The phone rang.
Allie had a feeling she needed to pick it up.

"Hello?" she asked and shut the door.
"I will find you. I'm the only one who can," Kevin said in her ear and the breath whooshed out of her. Well, he was safe.
"Allie?" he asked calmly.
"I promise, everytime you catch me. I'll get away," she hissed and slammed the phone down. She looked out the glass booth windows and there were three Chinese men looking at her from across the street. The Chinese were the ones in New York fighting America. She slowly stepped out and the men came forward.

"Allie?" one asked in a heavy accent.
She nodded slowly.
Another grabbed her arms behind her back.
"Hey!" she exclaimed and tried to kick, but he threw her over his shoulder.
"Shh!" the last one said. "Don't say a word!"
No one noticed in the crowd as they swept through, carrying a fifteen year old girl.
She saw things pass and soon they went through a tunnel. It was pitchblack and cold. Allie shivered and then hit something hard.
"Now, you will tell me your plans," the first man said and a light turned on over her.
She was laying on a table, her arms, legs, and head were being straped to it. The second man was holding a needle full of a blue liquid.

"I don't have any plans," she whispered.
"Your America's plans," he corrected.
She licked her lips. "I don't know."
"We will hurt you," the third man said, brandishing a knife.
"I swear, I don't know anything!" she exclaimed and thought. "But I know who does!"
"Who?" all three asked. She then gave them a description of Kevin, his attitude, and that he was against them. Most of it, was true, but this was a life and death matter here. At least for her.
He'd probably be glad if she died, she thought. At least he wouldn't have to do it himself. She stared at the needle.
 
Then the old man from the store was there. He looked at Allie and nodded. She tried to, but being held down made it difficult. The man curled in his frail hand and all three men shot back into the wall. The man twiched his finger and the straps came undone.
"Let's go," he said.
"Thanks Master Chefu (sp?)," she mumbled and she gripped his hand as they both disappeared.
"You may open your eyes Allie," he said. She opened them and saw the inside of a cave. Very clean actually.
"Thanks," Allie said.
"I realized that you needed help. So I stepped in. Would you like some training?" he said.



Chapter Eleven
"Yes," she said. "I don't really understand...how..or when...or what," she trailed off.
"Your mother was the Guardian before you. You and Kevin were born before both your parents were killed."
"What happened?" she asked.

"Kevin's mother had abonded him when he was just a few months old. It was just he and his dad from then on," he took a sip of water from a cup on a shelf. "His father decided to finish this once and for all. He killed your father before your mother could do anything. She was hiding you. Then, he finished your mother off, but could never find you. He was hoping to kill you for his son, but you had disappeared."

"Where ever you go, the world reacts. You're good to it. You help it. So it's good to you. It's always been that way for you. Being in an orphanage where no one would adopt you just added to your difference," he said.
"Why didn't you get Kevin to agree?" he asked.
"It wasn't my fault! He's opinionated, stubborn, ridicilous! I don't understand him!" Allie ranted, pacing back and forth.
"You'd understand him better than anyone else," the old man said gently.
"How?" Allie asked.
"Well, let's see," he pretended to think. "You both have powers, you're both teens, you're both trying to control something you can't, and you both obiviously have feeling for each other."
"We do not!" Allie argued, her face hot.
"If he was standing right here in front of you, and I told you to kill him, what would you do?"
"Nothing," she answered.
"The most you would do is knock him out, right? Allie, you need to toughen up. You're vulnerable."
"Are you saying I would do anything he asked?"
"That pretty much sums it up," he said and Allie pushed both hands outward. The man hit the wall. He stood right back up and smiled.
"I want you to be able to do that and much more to Kevin," he said. "I'm going to train you."

Allie chewed on her lower lip.
"Will I have to kill him?" she asked quietly.
"The Dark wants you both to fight. He wants you both to die. He wants you to cause your own deaths," the man said.
"Then I can't kill him? You don't want me to? We're supposed to band together?"
"You might have to kill him (if you can't make him see sense) and I think, even if you were given the chance, you wouldn't. You're powers are strong and even though we'll make them stronger, I don't think you've got the guts to kill him."
"Really?" Allie asked. "I'll be able to control my powers better?" She ignored the 'got the guts'.
"Yes, and call me Wise One."
"Yes oh mighty Wise One," Allie muttered.
"No sass, young lady. I could squish your Kevin like a bug."
"He's not mine," Allie choked. "And that's MY job, right?"
"That it is, let's get to work."

"Um, where are we?"
"We are suspended in air. No one can see us or feel us. It looks like a cave, doesn't it? It's just your imagination," he smiled.
She'd have to trust him. He'd told her more than she'd thought of asking about.

*Five hours later*
"Come on Allie! Kevin could've killed you in that opening!" the Wise One exclaimed.
"Sorry," Allie said through clenched teeth. Her muscles strained and her body felt like lead. Couldn't she just have one break?
"No breaks," he said. Allie groaned.
"Keep going, keep going," he encouraged. She forced all her thoughts to the end of her fingertips.
"Now zap me," he said. Allie thought of something dazzling, something distracting, something....

She forced it through her arms, wrists, hands, and out her fingers. She saw the shimmering light hit Wise One in the face and he looked dazed.
In her mind, she saw what he was seeing. Diamonds everywhere. Reflecting everything. All diamonds. Nothing else. Enought to give you a headache. Allie eased up on the thoughts until they faded and Wise One looked normal.
"Very good Allie! Very good! If you had wanted to, you could have killed me right then!" he congragulated.
"Thanks," she mumbled.
"Get some rest," he said, handing her an apple and some water.
"Sure it's not posioned?" she asked.
"Do I look like a evil step mother?" he asked.
"Pretty close," she muttered and laided on the hard floor. She'd finished her apple and water. Before she fell asleep, she wanted to ask something.

"Wise One?" she asked.
"Hm?" she heard from a corner.
"Why were the Chinese after me and the men in the bathroom?"
"There's a war Allie," he said quietly. "Kevin is with America, well, that's what America thinks, and they also think you're with China."
"I'm not!" Allie exclaimed.
"I know, but The Dark is," he said.
"How do you know? You know too much," Allie muttered.
"Allie, do me a favor."
"What?"
"Don't dream. I have a ...power...I can't...I have trouble controling. If you dream....I experience it too," he said softly.
"Okay, I'll try," she sighed as she fell asleep.


{I know........really really long.....but it flowed and I didn't really try to stop it. (I wonder how much I say that) Anyway, hope it was okay, I'm going to go get some sleep.}

Its Shifu *people glare* What? she did put (sp?) *man shouts Will you shut up we're trying to read*
Ugh the manners of some ppl! Glad ur back :D 

How many times must I say this? Anyway: THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!

~Elzia 

Kate when are you going to post on the CF?We need you!!!

Aww I thought this was going to be about an airline company. Anyway it's a good story and can I make one about the airline?
 

@Camy: Oh duh *slaps forehead* I totally forgot. Soooo sorry Camila! My internet is still shaky, but I'll get on it. :)

@C.A.35: Really? That'd be awesome! Well, if I actually knew something about that airline company. :P Um...sorry, but what exactly do you mean by make one about the airline? Sorry, I don't understand.

@Katelin: Whoops. I forgot to tell you this, so it's my fault you made this mistake. The Dark hasn't infiltrated the Chinese government yet. I was planning on writing a whole chapter on that. Sorry about that. And can you explain this old guy to me so that I can figure out a way to incorporate him into the story?

Also, a few more things I wanted to point out about the Dark. One thing is that he doesn't underestimate his enemies. He just knows how powerful he is, and he's very smart. So, when he says that he can wipe something out, he's normally not just blowing hot air. He really can. I made him like that so that the kids could have an insurmountable enemy. The more powerful he is, the more satisfying it will be when he defeats them. I just want to make it clear that the Dark doesn't ever puff himself up in front of his enemies. If anything, he undermines his abilities. I thought I should point that out so that when you write about him, you can really get a sense of the character.

I think the next chapter should skip to when Kevin's on a mission. Do you mind that?

Well make a story called United about the airline. And also 2 things 1. Can I be in it I'll post my bio later. And 2. I added you.

This is a really good story! But I'm having trouble understanding it. Could you please explain a little more?

(And would you please read my story? It's at www.the39clues.com/messageboard/show/18975.)

@C.C.35: Yes, you can write a story about it. :) Are you saying you want us to write with you? Sorry, I'm kinda slow right now. I've had a rough few weeks.

@Kaleb: Okay......hm.....That's fine. Could you still write the chapter about it? Just say that this was before Allie was stolen by the Chinese?
Yes, the old guy. :P *sighs* I had just made him up on the spur of the moment. Anyway, I think he should be ....like...a trainer... For the Guardian and the (whatever Kevin is that I can't spell). But, the 'Wise One' has decided to work on Allie's end first...then try to reach Kevin if possible. I think he should be...really, really old, but not as old as the dark. Just.....thousands of years old and not trillions.
I'm ashamed to say it.....but the Dark sounds awesome! I mean...ugh...for a bad guy. :P But I'm still betting on Allie and Kevin.
Cool! Yeah! I don't mind at all! That'd be great actually, it gives me an idea. :)

@Katelin: I know right? For some reason, the bad guys have a tendency to be cooler than the good guys (in my opinion anyway). I don't know why they do that lol. I can't write right now, but if I don't get a chance to do it later on today, than I'll definitely do it tomorrow. I think it might be a good idea for the old guy to explain to both Allie and Kevin what the Guardians and Annihilators (you're right. I have no idea why I picked that name, because it is sooooo hard to spell lol) are, since they both don't know yet. That way, our readers begin to understand what's going on just like the characters begin to understand. Also, I've been wondering how long exactly you want this book to be. Because there are things we could add or take away to make it longer or shorter. I'm a fan of long books, but if you don't want it to be too long I guess we could compromise.

@Kevin: I'm glad you like long, cause that's how my books turn out. Yes, I would prefer it to be longer rather than shorter.  :P Yes! Exactly! The bad guys are just too awesome and that's why they're bad. Because we just can't handle their awesomeness. lol
Yeah, we can make the old guy explain. It seems disrespectful calling him the old guy. :P Even though I only made him up. :P
You picked that name? I thought you just heard it from somewhere and when we started, I had no idea what I was going to do when we had to explain about the Guardians and Annihilators. Now, I don't feel as nervous seeing as we're working from scratch.
I think the book is kinda confusing.....but, then again.... I'm always confused.....or at least 80% of the time. :P See ya! I've got to go use some Angry Birds to shoot some evil green piggies.....(Did you know the pigs actually GRIN EVILY?!?!?!?!? My mom didn't believe me when I told her, so I showed her. They're just soooo evil! lol)

It's okay, I'm confused most of the time too, Katelin!!! And I totally love this, and I'm lost as well, all I know is the 3rd World War seems to be coming on and stuff.

@Kaleb: Sooooo sorry, I'm sooo stupid!......I didn't mean to put '@Kevin'...I had been talking to a friend named Kevin earlier. Ugh. And, one of the main characters in this story is named Kevin. Sorry, and I don't want to admit it.....but I realize it is a little funny....Okay, maybe more than a little. :P
