Her hands trembled as she lent down to pick up the shard of colour glass, it was cold and smooth though the ends where sharp as she looked at it apiece of hair flicked into her grey eyes absentmindedly she tucked it behind her ear... the glass was white with a red shapes coursing through it. She traced the shapes with her finger over and over.

Sudenly there was a scuttling noise behind her, and it felt like there was something pressed to her neck something moving over her, in shock she dropped the glass, it shattered into thousands of peices She breathed in quickly before wipping round and shouting out.

"Hello ?" the room was silent and the cobwebs moved slightly in the breeze,she thought she felt something touch her hand gently, she looked at it. Her heart beat increased

"Who's there?" she whispered ,she shivered and shook her arm, glancing at her watch

"Damn" she muttered she looked over at the glass, breathed in and turned around heading for the door. She walked out into the yard across the thick bracken, and nettlesclimbed over the fence, before looking back at The old Manor house, the abandoned mansion old dark and dusty, she turned and walked down the road, towards town.

"Catherine... i've been waiting for ages where have you been."

"I'm sorry Carla it took ages to walk down... I could work off the time?"

"You where at that old manor house again. if i was to tell your father."

"NO Please don't i won't be late again."

Catrlas face seemed harsh unreadable she was causually filling her red nails with her fake tanned hand, he hair high up and red same colour as her nails, falling out of her bun and around her wrinkled neck complete with fake perals. her botox didn't hide her age, but made her face always look pained, but when it came to dealing with Catherine maybe she was, she stood up in her ridiculous high heels and reagusted her bright green uniform with the words "U.S.A's finest star dinner" written on the front.

"Well make sure your not....table six wants there order taken, get your note pad and get moving" Carla turned and wondered towards the staff exit "I'm taking my break" she said ciggarete in hand.

Catherine sighed with relif, as she removed her coat to show her bright green waitress uniform completete with badge matching badge .

Catherine put on her fake smile put her black long hair into a high pony tale, and walked towards table 6, a family of five, a lazy looking out father and paniced mother surrounded by two young boys and one teen girl throwing a strop.

"BUT MUM, i wanted to go to the new restaurent in the mall...not this old dinner."

"Look sweetie we couldn't book there."

"BUT..."
Catherine interupted "Howdy i'm Catherine, and i'll be your waitress for tonight have you decided what you'd like to order?"

The father rolled his eyes. "Yes... we'll have two kiddies chicken Cowboy boxes...an elvis isn't dead 30 pounds steak."

"Do you want rock and roll sauce with that?" Catherine asked sweetly

"Sure whatever... a Hollywood Fame green salad,and a Marylin Monroe Pizza Meal."

"Sure" Catherine smiled "Any drinks?"

"Yes of course" The Father said frustrated. "Two cokes, one beer and one birthday girl pink smoothie."

"Do you want sprinkles with that?"

"Sure."

Catherine grinned a big fake smile and said sickly sweetly "I'll get that now sir
