The Cryptic Claws of Madame Zee

Wow, I’m glad all of you guys were able to make it to the carnival! If there wasn’t any funnel cake left when you got there, it’s all Hal’s fault. I swear, he ate his weight in powdered sugar.

Anyway, after blowing wayyy too much money trying to win humongous stuffed animals, we decided it would be best to get down to business. We went to Madame Zee’s tent, but the smoke and incense was too much for Hal after all that funnel cake. He turned pale green and staggered back out into the fresh air. Nia volunteered to go out and check on him, so I met with Madame Zee alone.

The reading I had done was super awkward. Madame Zee seemed to know something she didn’t want to tell me, maybe because she’s a psychic or maybe because she knows I know about her connection to Amanda. She gave me some standard, vague predictions, but then at the end, she asked me very seriously:

“We are all on a quest but really, my child, how is your quest going?”

Quest? Excuse me, I know I’m no Amazon, but what do I look like, a hobbit? There must be something about wearing drapes and gazing into a crystal ball all day that makes you use words like quest. But even quasi-hobbits have to be polite, so I just said, “Fine.” Madame Zee grabbed my hand as I stood to leave and said, “Whatever you do, don’t give up. It will be a long journey but an important one.”

It was really intense and kind of creepy. I left the tent wishing I’d just straight out asked about Amanda, and almost walked right into a dancing, stomping group of people in dark robes.

Cornelia has posted a video we received from a reader who spotted something odd in the background. It was taken a few yards from the psychic tent and apparently about twenty minutes before the dance performance by the people in the robes that themidnighter and LoganMcDonald saw and stef_stone performed in. The girl in the video perfectly matches the descriptions that Yori and AwesomeAnna93 gave us.

Nia and I had a fight about whether the girl in the video is Amanda. I remember that wig, and even Nia admits she’s wearing something she recognizes from Play It Again Sam, the vintage store Amanda loved. Even so, she says it still could have been any random girl. Hal, of course, refuses to take sides.

Have you ever wanted something so bad you see it everywhere? Maybe that’s all this is. But maybe sometimes it does work out that what you want really is right there in front of you the whole time.

Do you think it is Amanda? If so, what was she doing at the carnival?

    I knew it! I definately saw someone that looked ALOT like Amanda near the ferris wheel. I couldn’t see her face but she was standing there like she was expecting someone. When me and my friends went on the ferris wheel we found a coyote girl sticker on the seat. I’m pretty sure that was Amanda and I think she was was waiting to meet someone there. I don’t know who it was or what exactly she was doing but I’d definately talk to the people who was working at the Carnival. Maybe they know something or got a good look at that person in the background’s face. And they could tell what she was doing…

      I’m with Nia. I defiantly recognize the wig from Play It Again Sam.

      What’s the girl in the background holding? At first I just thought she was eating something, but now that I look closer it looks like she’s really concentrating on something.

      Where do these stickers come from, anyway? I don’t mean who puts them there, but the actually company or store they’re manufactored and sold in. If it’s somewhere local maybe we can ask around and see if the cashiers can us any discriptions of who purchased them?

      • AwesomeAnna93

        i feel like that is amanda…
        but the thing is.. sooo many coyote stickers in one night? that’s not likely.. i feel like someone is once again messing with us…

        • Kenzi

          Yah I mean Amanda would not be stupid enough to use all those stickers. Anyways I was thinking if somebody was messin with us Amanda would most likely know right? And remember how we got all those long distance calls from an imposter? Somebody must be going out of their way to mess us up. I was also thinking if somebody was after Amanda she wouldn’t go looking like herself, nor would she go looking like one of the igirls. She would go somewhere inbetween…right? So I dont think that the girl we saw was Amanda. I think that we should go to the park and look around. There must of been stickers somewhere not on the carnival rides and such. If you want to come meet me where the carnival was held. I have a feeling that we might find something there.

          Tomorrow it will have been a year since Amanda came, I think that we may find a big clue towards her whereabouts. Do you think the same?

          • Yori

            That really is the girl I saw on Saturday. Even though I think it is Amanda a part of me doubts it. It is like Callie said, I want to see Amanda so badly because I miss her that I think I saw her but I can’t be 100% sure.

            I was thinking but if that girl was really Amanda why would she be at the Carnival? If someone is after her, why would she expose herself? It doesn’t make much sense. Then again, this is Amanda so maybe she sees it this way “the best places to hide are in plain sight.” I think I heard her say it once and I know she really believed in that.

            I also agree with AwesomeAnna93 and MackenzieC, someone is messing with us. There were way too many stickers at the Carnival. It’s too suspicious. As Mackenzie said, tomorrow it’s going to be one year since she came, we might find something so we better keep our eyes wide open. BTW, is there going to be any big event tomorrow somewhere?

            • stella94

              Yori: AwesomeAnna93 said there’s a dance at the Riviera Country Club, and a Haunted House at Cypress Point Park.

              I’m gonna be at the dance, looking out for suspicious stuff like stickers and Amanda. I also might go out for ice cream or something afterward. Wanna come with? To the dance, not just the ice cream…

              Why would Amanda be at the Carnival? If she’s hiding, and there’s a major, epic reason she doesn’t want to be found, why would she turn up there? Especially if there was a goon in a black suit watching for people to pull over and threaten.

              What if he’s from whoever is hunting from Amanda?

              • Jess

                I totally agree with Anna and Mackenzie, she is not that stupid to place the dozen clues we have all said we found, someone is messing with us and I think that someone was the person who you guys thouht was Amanda.  For some reason, i think that the person messing with us, is one of us, not in it truly, but giving default clues to point us in the wrong direction. 
                I can promise you that the person is not me, and what fond at the carnival is 100% REAL

                I also agree that Amanda would not be dressed up as herself or and I - Girl.

                I have wanted to say this from the beggining, but thought it sounded stupid, so here it goes

                I think Amanda is being held hostage somewhere, i feel like she is working with someone to have all of her Coyote stickers placed, i think the person helping her is with her, trying to free her, i think they are both somehow sycic, not communicating b phone or e-mail, but by telepathy…
                i think this someone is a girl she mentioned, Stella, Stella always had this connection with Amanda that i had never seen before, it was almost like they were the same people inside, they could read eachothers mind, and i am guessing send each other messages with their minds.  i think Amanda has sme sort of power, immortal….
                i also think that madame z has something to do with Amanda and Stella, i think that they are all in it together.

                • Kenzi

                  I do not think that Amanda is immortal, or being held hostage. Anyways I went to the park where the carnival was held. Anyways it took and hour but I found something…
                  Anyways I was looking around thinking that there must be a couple cayote stickers that were not stuck to carnival equipment. And I tripped over a root. Anyways under that root there was a sticky note that said: “Annual Solar Eclipse”. I looked in the tarot reading book and it says
                  “You have no chance of finding me ‘till night is day”
                  That is two hints leading towards the Eclipse that Amanda has given us. I think it might mean that something will happen on the Eclipse.

                  • horsyhanah101

                    Even though i have no clue who Amanda is other than a smart odd book loving teenage gel after watching more than enough crime shows she’s probably running from someone oensomething and is leaving a trail w the stickers and u guys should folllow uptuos lead f there relaly was a sticker on he ferris wheel then u guys have a good chance of finding her if she s still in the area!!!good luck!! However it’s gonna b tough w hallloweeen and all so b careful!!!!!!!!

                    • horsyhanah101

                      His is actually about the “again” “sometime soon.” I think somebody needs 2 find out sat Amanda’s handwritingnis like

                      • Caroline

                        yeah I think it was Amanda… I did see someone the night of the carnival with that wig on but i didn’t really think anything of it until now…

                        • ThaTigress

                          I remeber being at the Carnaval. I thought that was her. me and my friend Jessica wanted to talk to her but when we tryed she just vanished, it was creapy.

                          • themidnighter

                            No offense but the girl looks like Hannah Montana. I remember a sophomore,that really idolize Hannah Montana. She collects everything HM. Maybe the girl is just her? I mean would Amanda really wear something that attracts a lot of attention? However this is just my theory. Amanda _is_ very unpredictable.

                            • aGirlLikeMe

                              I agree, themidnighter. Jenny, the one who dresses like Hannah Montana, is always trying to find the perfect moment to show off her stuff. I’m more than 75% sure that the girl in the video is Jenny but she was with Jack (her date) and I don’t see him.

                              I think the girl’s holding a stuffed animal. If it was Amanda (which I’m over 75% sure it wasn’t), did anyone see her at a stand?

                              • Jess

                                i dont really think that amanda left the annual solor eclipse thing t the carnival, i dont wanna say this, but i thiknk mackenzies lying
                                amanda would not have left so many clues there, she is smart and strategic, i dont think the eclipse has anything to do ith it
                                i dont think amanda is immortal ! god i am not a freak!  ‘
                                i just think that she can somehow read minds with her freind, kinda like madame z, i really believe in all that stuff, that is why i am too scared to get my fortune told
                                i got a e-mail last night, it said this

                                “if your thinking about the eclipse, why not think about dirt.  you are far off! hahaha i know where amanda is, i know who she is, and i know why shes hiding.  shes hiding from one of….....YOU
                                think above, think above the stars, but belw the earths crust, think beside yourself, what you ant is closer than it seems”

                                i dont care what you guys think, this is a reall e-mail that i got, from a sender (removed by Cornelia’s minions)

                                • dem_94

                                  I don’t think Amanda is immortal either. It just doesn’t make any sense. But I do agree with AwesomeAnna, whoever placed those clues it wasn’t Amanda. Even if she was at the Carnival (I’m not saying she is, just if she was) she wouldn’t leave all these behind. Too easy a trail for someone to follow. It might attract the wrong person.

                                  Jess, did you reply to the email?

                                  • Yori

                                    Stella94, thanks for the heads up. I had completely forgotten about the dance. I’ll go and I’d like to help you look for clues or anything suspicious.

                                    Guys, let’s get real. There’s no way she’s immortal. Amanda is a regular girl like any of us. Your imagination is getting too wild.

                                    themidnighter, now that you mention it. I had completely forgotten about that girl. I don’t see her often so it didn’t cross my mind but maybe the girl I saw it could have been her. I think she is going to the dance so if I see her I’ll ask her then, if not I’ll ask her on Monday. I have to make sure whether or not she was the girl I saw.

                                    • Kenzi

                                      I think that Amanda is on the run, and not like kidnapped or being held hostage. I don’t beleive that she can read minds either. A lead is a lead, so I think that we should-as they say in photography-look at the picture in every frame available. Even if it takes us nowhere. I do think that the girl we saw was not Amanda-she would be more covert.

                                      I think that you should also remember Jess that someone might be messing with us. Maybe they sent you the message because they think we might be onto something. I also dont think that Amanda left us all those clues but she might of given us some that is why I think that we should fallow all the leads that we have because we might find something. :)

                                        We seem to all agree that Amanda has something to do with Madame Zee.  Obviously, Madame Zee is the real deal.  Amanda doesn’t like to hang out with phoneys (example: I-girls- except Callie, who could still be saved).  I’ll believe in zyciks; re-think and ponder the lady’s words, Callie…

                                          okay guys we need to concetrate! stop blaming each other over madness and concetrate on what has to be done… this is why we keep getting off topic

                                          Heidi Bragg, of course is having her Annual Halloween Bash at her house tonight and someone needs to go there and just hang around… i know amanda won’t be there but we need an eye out where people from school go….. i thinking Mackenzie should head over there since she’s super good w/ the i-girls.

                                          Some need to go to the dance. the haunted houses,  and around town too.


                                          Look in the events section of the newspaper there’s a list of events going on tonight.

                                          The Fright-Fest Movie Marathon @ the park; the concert tonight at the town square; there are stuff going on everywhere tonight…
                                          so guys we have to split up on this one…..

                                          We probably won’t see/hear from Amanda but there areee imposters out there who need to be stopped.

                                          Also, these imposters coyote stickers are throwing us off… where ever you see a coyote sticker..pull it off and throw it away because everyone knows amanda wouldn’t leave a million stickers all of the town…

                                          No more following coyote stickers.

                                          As for our HM/AV looking girl, i don’t think it is AV. I agree w/ theMidnighter and agirllikeme. It does look like that sophomore chick. She’s in my english class this year. 

                                          Well I have to go get ready to go set up the haunted house stuff..
                                          Have a Safe Halloween Girls! =]

                                              Yah I was just gonna post Heidi says that I NEED to go to her party or else. Sorry. So I will be there, have fun at the haunted house and the dance! I’m going last-minute costume shopping with Heidi now. She says that she goes on Halloween every year. It gets her in a more creative mood she says.
                                              Bye Guys,
                                              I’ll post any findings tomorrow-Heidi will most likely keep me there all night.
                                              Have fun!

                                                Ohmigawd! You will never guess what just happened…
                                                So me and Heidi went costume shopping (we both are go-go dancers) and we went to this cute little vintage store called “Mario’s Vintage Clothes”. Anyways I said as we walked through the door “Wow this is a cute store…and not one you would usually go to.” Then Mario-yes his name was Mario and he is the owner-said “What Heidi…she’s a regular.” So I gave her a questioning look and she said. “I’ve been coming here since I was thirteen when Amanda first brought me.” She didn’t even explain. So I was thinking what if Amanda has been in Orion before then moved away-and when she did maybe she went totally in disguise but Heidi recognized her. Maybe they didn’t finish on the best of terms and thats why Heidi hated her so much? Do you think its possible. Anyways when I tried on my costume stuck to the mirror by a cayote sticker there was a note that said in Amanda’s handwriting “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”
                                                I cant explain but there was something about the note that seemed as if it really was from Amanda. I said I would post tomorrow but I just HAD to tell yah. So there have fun clue searching tonight.

                                                • Jess

                                                  I agree Mackenzie, I think she left and came back, but Heidi knew.  I knew Amanda at the orphange, but then, during high school, there was this girl, with the same, vibe, I guess, all along, she felt like a familiar stranger, her looks, the way she spoke, even the way she moved.  But what drove me away, was the fact that her personality was so much different then from the orphangae, so I never believed myself.  When you say that, I do start to believe myself, I knjow what I say and what I felt. 
                                                  Also, for my 16 birthday partie, Amanda got me this really cute summer/evening dress, it was the most gorgeous thing iI had ever seen, but when I asked her were she got it, she just kinda shrugged me away and asked for more pop.  On the tag it had this really fancy writing, it said, “Mario’s Vintage Clothes”, I gogled it and searched maps and phone books, nothing.  Is it the same store, and if so, why did Amanda not want to tell me?

                                                    Hmm… Well, I don’t want to get involved in this I-Girl-esque drama, but I can certainly offer some speculation on the possible connection between Madame Zee and Amanda.

                                                    In the book, there is the mystery of who Amanda’s parents were (if there were any at all). Both Hal, Nia, and Callie all were told different stories from Amanda about their existence, careers etc. The thing is, I can’t believe that Amanda is 100% independant. Of course, she is her own person, but she didn’t learn ALL the stuff she knows from a ladybug on her windowsill (excuse my poor example). Perhaps Madame Zee is her mother? Grandmother? Guardian? Maybe Amanda is staying with her. Who knows, this is just something I was thinking about. Perhaps someone can shed a little light on it.

                                                      I think that is a good approach, but not quite there, i was thinking, why did Amanda change everything about herself place to place, but her name stayed the same?

                                                      • Kenzi

                                                        Well I think that Heidi is a clue.
                                                        Did anyone see anything last night?

                                                          As for Amanda living in Orion before… No chance…. Someone would’ve known her… actually most of us would’ve… Orion is a small town… a suburb….. all of us went to Endeavor for middle school and high school. There are like only two or three elementary schools. Why would Heidi know Amanda but no one else for the Project? I think it’s once again another thing throwing us off path.


                                                          As for the haunted house, I thought I was going to guard the door the whole night but some guys from the college took the job s0o I had to work backstage with the techincal stuff. My laptop is dying so I’ll have to give the full update tommorrow after school =X.

                                                            All of you are talking about Amanda as if she’s lying, or just not real.  SHE’S OUR FRIEND!!!!!  and she’s missing, and that’s all we need to worry about.  Also, maybe the truth, for her, changed every day.  One day, love was a untouchable object.  The next, it had blossomed into a flower of tender feelings.  It depended on her mood.
                                                            Jess, the thing about her name… If I were moving constantly, changing my life day by day, then I’d want something the stay constant.

                                                              Your name is your main source of identity. You’d never want to lose your entire identity s0o that’s the part of A.V that she didn’t want to change…
                                                              Acutally she did change her name a few times.


                                                              Haunted House;
                                                              - So I was working behind the scenes (most of the stuff in haunted houses are actually animatronics).  The people who I had to volunteer with told me all I really had to do was watch the cameras for the haunted house to make sure nothing happened like a machine exploding or something…(they had security cameras everywhere so the adults kept an eye on the cameras around the park)
                                                              As I was watching my video feed, i noticed a girl. She had something in her hand which she pasted up on on the lid of the coffin where Dracula pops out of…She actually kind of frightened Drac cause he soo wasn’t expecting this chick touch his coffin. She had on a black jacket and a pink skirt and had on a blonde wig.
                                                              When I had to go remove stuff from the haunted house, I checked the coffin and sure enough it was another coyote girl sticker..
                                                              I know for sure we have an imposter at hand so i’m going to try to see if I can find out what she/they/w.e look like upclose or just a better shot.
                                                              I asked the haunted houses manager if i can see the footage that was recorded on the cameras and he said sure. So tommorrow or sometime this week, i have to go over to his shop and collect the tapes. I have to rewatched them all. If i find anything on them, i’ll report back to you all.

                                                              • BehindTheMask

                                                                Ok this is starting to get freaky. All I know is that shes probably near Endeavor cause on the beginning she passed her locker and didn’t see anything when she came back she did. Amanda is hiding from something and WE need to find out we are all working as a team! Good luck everyone tell me if you findy Anything abnormal.

                                                                • Kenzi

                                                                  AwesomeAnna you got the tapes right? I need the one from the weird dance where there was a person who didn’t know the dance well. Ask me no questions I will explain later. Look at the previous story…something Jess said sparked something and I have an idea. Do you think you can bring it to school tomorrow?

                                                                  • AwesomeAnna93

                                                                    Wait, Mackenzie, How did you go to the haunted house? It was from 8-10 and Heidi’s party started @ 7. I heard it didn’t end till like 3 AM.


                                                                    As for the tapes, I don’t have them. I went over there today before work and he wasn’t there so I left a message on his machine. So like around 6pm the manager guy calls back and tell me that he can’t release the tapes to anyone because it is against policy.

                                                                    As a volunteer, I had to sign this form stating that data from the footage must not be used for personal gain and that I can not record it and stuff. But nothing said that I can see the footage except his store policy which is that No one can view any footage recorded using the survellance camera except for employees and employers.

                                                                    So I asked him if he’s reviewed the tapes yet, and he said no. Then I asked if I can review the footage for him as an employee. He laughed and said Sure, but he’s not paying me to do it so he’ll just give me a few community service hours.

                                                                    • Kenzi

                                                                      Well lets just say that I was able to go…
                                                                      I snuck out of the party for a wee little but. Hey the party was like hell ‘kay? Anyways all the dancers from that weird dance were at the haunted house and they were all huddled up around someone anyways I saw the girl from the video in the huddle so I walked over and they were talking about Amanda. So I asked what they knew and they said that they only knew that her costume had been used that night. You see Amanda apparently could dance…I knew nothing about it. I asked if she had been the one using the extra costume and they said no they actually had two extras if you included Amanda’s and that someone else had used it. So who? Anyways they also said that they were hoping to see Amanda that is why they were there. Then as I went through the haunted house there was somebody hiding behind a mummy. I didn’t think to check for cayote stickers but I do know she had the same blond wig as the girl in that video above. So I think somehow Amanda got in the haunted house, and out but if she did it would be caught on tape right?
                                                                      Beside the point something Jess said “when something little is on your nerves, then something horrible happens, and you turn that little something into a big something.” Made me think because somebody has said that to me before. Someone who really looked into the meaning of things…Amanda. I dont know how it will help but I have a feeling it will…

                                                                      • Yori

                                                                        I asked the sophmore girl Hanna Montana wanna-be if she dressed like that for the Carnival and she did. However, she didn’t talk with Mdm Zee. However, I’m sure I saw a girl wearing a blonde wig talking to Mdm Zee. I remember she was wearing pretty much all black and it was so dark too.

                                                                        I went to the Haunted House, I actually made it on time and was able to get there before closing. I saw the girl with the wig, the one AwesomeAnna93 said when she was leaving. So, because I thought the was the girl I saw at the Carnival I followed her.

                                                                        I’m not good tailing people and she noticed. She started running and I ran after her. Clumsy me, tripped and fell and ended up twisting my ankle. The girl looked back when I yelped from pain but didn’t stop because of that she bumped into someone and her wig fell. She looked back for a moment shocked. She covered her face with her hands though and ran away. Get this though, she had red hair. She was the impostor but I don’t know who.

                                                                        • Jess

                                                                          • Jess

Everyone say which one she told you there might be some similarities that might be the truth! Nobody can be that good of a liar…

And we used to pick it up and spin around in circles with it, in Orion Cafe. She would have won it at the carnival, probably wanting to show it to me when she got back from wherever she is.

                                                                                • AwesomeAnna93

                                                                                  As for her parents, she told me they were travelling europe. This was around november she told me this. She said that they wrote to her in october and said that they were in Bosnia vacationing before the head to their next destination to work with underprivileged children.

                                                                                  Of course, no one knows the truth…........

                                                                                    I believe you are mistaken. (It’s not Orion Cafe btw; the best hot chocolates in town are at Just Desserts. Amanda loved that place. Well, so we think. )

                                                                                    • Squiggles

                                                                                      So what do we know from this, if it turns out to be Amanda?
                                                                                      She’s alive (though she couldn’t have been giving us clues if she wasn’t, obviously)
                                                                                      She looks healthy which must be good.
                                                                                      She doesn’t appear to be being held captive.

                                                                                      If it is Amanda then this is all a majorly awesome discovery. She’s okay.

                                                                                      However Callie seemed okay to her friends the I-girls when actually she wasn’t okay at all so appearances can be deceptive.

                                                                                      • Squiggles

Or who were on the lookout for someone, who isn’t part of this project? Maybe it’s not all good people who are looking for Amanda.

                                                                                        • Jess

                                                                                          I think that all of Amanda’s past life stories, lead up to her today, i think that there is some sort of pattern, we should all recall what she told us, and post it.

                                                                                          • Squiggles

                                                                                            I just mean that she looked unharmed which can only be a good thing.

                                                                                            • Kenzi

                                                                                              I am very confused there are few senarios and every one seems to be a dead end. Maybe we are looking at it the wrong way? Maybe we should think of it not as she is running away from something…but as if she is running to something?

                                                                                              I seriously doubt that she is running for her mom. We have already established that Amanda is an orphan…and has been for all of her life. So she couldn’t possibly know who her mom or dad is.

                                                                                                • Soccerstar883

                                                                                                  it has to be amanda. Maybe she knew that we were looking for her so she went somewhere obviose like the fair and so she knew someone from the website was bound to see her. but she seemed to be having a good time. so why does she sound like shes trapped or in danger in all of her notes??

                                                                                                  • MinnieMouse

I mean who would wear a blond wig like that except for Amanda?  and the dress… well Amanda and I just went and bought it a while ago, so it must be hers. it was the last one in the shop at that time so she would be the only one who owns that vintage dress. but what im trying to figure out is what is she doing there in the carnival? could she have been visiting the physcic tent as she was only spotted a few yards away, but why would she want to go to the phsycic tent? could she need help or be trying to help others? I was always there for her and although she told me everything, she always left me out of the most important stuff. i guess this was one of them, she must be helping someone out there, or even trying to help herself out.

                                                                                                    • Maddie

                                                                                                      • PiscesGirl

But then again, maybe that was a disguise or something. You never know…

I’ve learned that sometimes the hardest problems have the simplest of answers, and that there are always 2 sides to every story. Maybe Amanda dissappeared for a reason, find the reason and we find Amanda.
