After putting Pete to bed, Cat, Luke and Harry were heading to their den in the attic, when they were waylaid by Moira and some her 'friends', lead by Lindsay, the queen bee of the school, who'd had it in for Cat since day 1.
"Well, well, if it isn't the nerd brigade." She purred, sauntering towards them. Moira and another girl gave fake laughs, totally kissing up to her.
Lindsay, encouraged by this, continued. "Awww, is da big gwon- up party to much for da ikkle babies" she said, patting Luke's cheek. "Is it past your beddy-byes! Yeah?"
Cat stepped forwards, putting on a fake smile. "Lindsay, I'd say it's lovely to see you, but Santa Claus is watching to make sure I don't lie, so I'm just gonna go with GO AWAY, NO ONE LIKES YOU. Okay?"
"Cat, Catherine, darling." Lindsay mused. "The fact I'm the most popular, pretty, talented, adored girl in school, whilst you are hanging out with these weirdos and couldn't even get a date for the end of year disco just proves how incorrect you are."
"And the amount of boyfriends you get through tells me that your a REAL keeper." Cat countered, heavy on the sarcasm.
"Well, Scarface, I don't see anyone asking you out Saturday nights! No one wants to be seen with your ugly face, do they?!"SLAP!
The sound echoed across the sudden silence. Lindsay found herself on the ground, her face stinging from the force of the blow. Cat was having to be physically restrained by Luke and Harry as she lunged at Lindsay again, anger blazing in her eyes, turning them a burning indigo. Lindsay sat there, open mouthed, shocked.
Surprisingly, it was Moira that stepped in. "Whoa, everyone cool it, yeah?" She sauntered up to Luke. "Whatcha doin' bro?" She snatched the book from his hands and turned to the marked page.
"Spell of summoning, hmm. Is this like one of them seance things?"
Lindsay, trying to regain control of the situation, looked at the page. "Yeah, I think so. Hey, I done one of these at a sleepover once."
Cat rolled her eyes. Oh, great, another one. Was she the only one who didn't like this?Apparently not. Bimbo number 3 sneered at this, trying to act cool.
"Oh, come on, let's get back to the party and leave the weirdos. Only babies believe in that stuff." It was the wrong thing to say.
Lindsay gave her a cold look, freaking the girl out. "Well, Sasha, if that's what you think, you can leave."
"But..."
"No buts. Leave. Don't feel that we're holding you back by being babies." Sasha looked down cast and walked away.
"What was that?" Murmured Cat to Harry.
Lindsay turned back to them. "Come on weirdos, I need you to perform MY summoning. Let's go." She walked off towards the attic.Few quick questions:
1) Do you think Lindsay should be included in the game? She will be important next chapter but I can't decide about the actual game.
2) Do you think Harry should be included in the game? He wasn't originally going to, but has become quite a larger character than I expected.
3) Does anyone have any ideas for the summoning spell? its going to include the rune Uruz, but I want an actual incantation as well.
4) Are you enjoying the story? I promise, Julian shall be in it soon!
