Silver School Mystery A Spring of Winter

To Skin a Cat

(Macy's Prov)

'The thing about plans is, they never go the way you expect.'

'Moving to a town full a magical people, for example, wasn't on my bucket list.'

'That being said, I felt that this mission wasn't an exception.' 

'So my plan never farther than: 'I'm going to rescue my friends.'

'Which leaves lots of room for improvising.'

'I didn't return to my table not after the Demon-Lady incident. I picked the wall farthest from her as to avoid any other conversations from her or anybody else. 

("Who Is She?" Asked Star. "By the way everyone behaved when she entered, she has apparently been here before. Even Bre seemed to know who she was."

"Do you think she suspects were frauds?" Asked Charlotte.

"If she does, she has a strange way of showing it." Said Star.

"What do you mean?" Asked Comment.

"It's just that wouldn't a normal person have us thrown out?" Said Star.

"Perhaps she doesn't see us as a threat to why she is here. Perhaps, were just a minor interest and she has something bigger planed up her sleeve." Said Midnight.

"Midnight, I hope you wrong. The last thing we need right now is something unexpected to happen." Said Level.) 

'As I wished for a new topic to think about, my gaze was drawn to a glass-less window. I watched as the moon slowly crept up into position. As the moon slide into place it cast, eerie red rays spread across the landscape, the air cooled and nature seemed to have went silent, in fear or in awe, it was hard to tell.'

'The host walked up to the middle of the room and addressed the crowd. He was an elderly giant with a wight hair, twinkling hazel eyes, he stood about as tall as two average men, standing on top of each other, and wore a blue cotton robe.'

"It is time." His deep voice like gravel. 

'All with an invitation headed strait out the building where there carriages awaited them. I waited with diligent patience, to those who could not hear my thoughts.'

("AHHHH!!! WHAT IS TAKING THEM SO LONG!!!" Yelled Charlotte.)

'After what felt like eternity, Russel came around the bend with a less-than-convincing wagon. He looked a like a soldier, though in his red leather armor he probably stole. He stopped just a few feet short from me.'

"My dear soldier may I ask what delayed you from coming here sooner." I said in a pleasant voice, refraining urge to smacking him for being so late.

"I traveled with the speed of many horse, but alas my lady I ran into an acquaintance of yours a few miles back." Russel replied, whether he was mocking my accent or just playing along I couldn't tell, but I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard the second voice. 

"You can say that again." 

"Kyro what are you doing here?" I said in loud wispier.

"I could ask you the question." Said the Half Giant. He too was wearing leather armor, but his looked a little bit loose, like it belong to a bigger giant.

"I'm rescuing Zea and Cloe." I said with fair warning. 

"Seriously. That's the great reason for impersonating royalty? Man, I thought you were doing something productive, like saving orphans or something corny like that." He said.
