A/N: So here goes my first fanfiction story. Um... not much else to say. Oh, I do not own the 39 Clues or the Percy Jackson series. If only I did...
"Oh, no." I whispered as the wind blew my hair into my face. I looked into my brother, Dan's, jade eyes. "The Kabra's." We said at the same time. Sure enough there was Ian looking as stunning as usual. His amber eyes were sparkling in the sun light. Why does he have to be so handsome? Why does he have to be in New York with his equally stunning sister Natalie? Why is the world out to get me? I wanted to scream but they would surely spot us if I did that.
"Come on Amy, let's go find Nellie." Dan took my arm and started dragging me over to the cooking shop where Nellie was looking at ingredients for some kind of fancy pasta.
"Hi kid-" she was interrupted by Dan.
"Kabras." Dan said. Nellie looked at us and started laughing. "This is serious Nellie." I tried to make her understand that we needed to get out of here.
"Guys, the clue hunt is over, you won. Why would they want to hurt you now?" Nellie asked us.
"I don't know, maybe because they're Kabras." Dan said sarcastically. "I would just go up to them and perform some mad ninja skills on them if Amy wasn't so madly in love with Ian." Dan continued.
"I do not love Ian." I glared at him, my face feeling hot in the cold december wind. I must look like a tomato.
"Whatever you say my love-struck sister." Dan responded. I managed to cool down and say something though my face still felt hot.
"Lets just get out of here before they notice us." I said trying to get everyone back on track. Dan nodded his head and Nellie looked like she was trying to keep herself from laughing, but she went along with it. "Whatever." she said "Just make it back to our apartment by 5, okay?" We nodded and once again I was thankful for having such a cool, trusting guardian like Nellie.
She went back into the cooking store. We weren't worried for her, the Kabras wouldn't dare go in a cooking store. Well, not unless that cooking store happened to have prada aprons, which I highly doubt. I looked around to see where the best way to get out of this street was.
It was really crowded so I was having trouble seeing the end of the street. I was never good with crowds but I have gotten better. I don't freak out when I'm in them.
Completely.
I took in a deep breath. "We are lucky they are on the other side of the street but we have to make sure we are not spotted and we've only got an hour." I told Dan and he nodded.
"You go down the street in that direction." he pointed behind us "Then turn the corner and then turn the corner again and you'll be on the street behind these stores. Then take a right and you'll be on the street our apartment's on." He said and then pointed in front of us "I'll go that way turn right and then I'll be on the street of our apartment. They won't see us if we blend in and are quick." he finished. I stared at Dan a then nodded. He has gotten more mature over the past year, he is now 12 and I'm 15. He is very good at planing things out. He has gotten taller and is about my height. He never lets me forget he's still growing.
Okay maybe not that much more mature.
"Break." he whispered. I turned around and started heading down the street. At times I would stop to look at store windows. Once I realized I could watch the Kabras through the window I started to look at windows more often. At times I would even take out my Iphone 3G (Nellie said I could get the newer Iphone when I'm older) and pretended to be on the phone with someone I was looking for. I would stand on my toes and look over the crowd and pretend to be saying "I can't see you" and come back down on the balls of my feet looking disappointed. But really I was looking out for the Kabras who happened to have crossed the street and were heading in the direction I was walking. I was really getting into it too. I would look in the glass of stores or pretend to be on my phone. It was going great until he saw me. Our eyes met briefly but he recognized me. I guess it's hard to forget jade eyes. Just my luck.
I started running and when I looked back so was he. His sister was trying to run to but I guess it's hard to run in heels. Oh well, one less Kabra to worry about. I was nearing the end of the street but it was hard to run because of the crowd. He was gaining on me too. I needed to hurry. I sped up and round the corner. As I did so I ran into someone. Again, just my luck.
"I am so sorry." me and the other person said at the same time. We laughed.
"I was in a hurry." we said at the same time again. We laughed again. Through out this whole conversation I have been looking at the ground hoping Ian would run right past me.
"Okay, I gotta know the name of the person that shares the same thought wave as me." the guy said, he sounded like he was 17.
"Amy Cahill. You?" I said finally looking up to see a boy with black hair and sea green eyes.
"Percy Jackson."
