The Midnight Gang

Chapter 25

Once Sam and Poppy arrived, I had already received the newspapers.

"She's alive."

"Who?"

"Lizzie. Remember when we ran away, and we met that girl around the same age as us and we spent that week with her in that abandoned house near the school?"

"Yeah? What about her though?"

"Look at this paper."

I held out a newspaper that read,

Little girl, aged 7, found in an abandoned house sent back to brooding school.

Little girl named Elizabeth Stone, was found asleep in an abandoned house near big training school. She was taken to hospital to heal and then sent to a boarding school in London. She, nor the police will say anything about why she was there or how she got there, just that there were 4 different uniforms from the school down the road and 5 backpacks, one belonging to Elizabeth and the other 4 and the uniform belonging to people from the school. We all hope Elizabeth has a safe recovery and the other 4 children have safely retuned to school without being hurt.

"What does this have to do with anything?"

"The day Lilly died, I collected the weapons that were left before I brought her back, they all have the initials E.S. on them."

"So?"

"So, Elizabeth is definitely a lot more powerful than we last saw us and is out for revenge for leaving her at that house."

"But we didn't purposely leave her."

"She doesn't know that."

"So, what do we do?"

"We hold a dance and hope she turns up."

"And your placing your bet on that she might turn up to a dance that someone who left her 12 years is holding."

"Yep."

"Your not going to change your mind are you?"

"Nope. But first let me tell everybody else." And right on time, everybody walked in and asked my what was going on. I explained everything that I had just told Sam and Poppy.

"So, now we are going to hold a dance and hope she turns up?" Alison asked.

"Yep."

"Really?"

"Yes. So, let's get planning."

Katrina and Kai got started on the draft of the invitations.

Alison and Mel got started on the dress codes.

Sam and Poppy got started on the theme of the dance.

Astrid and Adrian worked on the design of the hall.

Zoie worked on the music for the dance.

Daphne and Harmony worked of the food menu.

And I worked on the weapons we would need for the dance.

We defiantly had our work cut out for us.
