Chapter 2: Rumor Has It…
DINGDONGDINGDONG!
The door bell sang. Techna jumped off the sofa and ran to the door. She opened it reveling Lalya's face.
"Next time, don't lock the door," she said as she walked in and placed her beach bag next to the couch, "Who else is coming?"
"Techna invited all of her friends," Flora squealed, "I can't wait."
"Cool. So what are we going to do first?"
"First," Techna began, "we'll wait for our guests to show up and then we'll go mattress surfing!"
"I love mattress surfing!"
DINGDONG!
The doorbell rang again.
"I'll get it," Lalya called as she hurried to the door and opened it. She saw a whole group of girls standing on the porch.
"TECHNA!" they squealed and screamed when Techna came into the room, "Long time no see."
They all ran over to Techna and gave her a big group hug.
"Flora!" Techna called, "I will like you to meet my friends."
"Coming!" came a reply from another room.
Flora came into the living room holding little Ravage who was struggling to get down. She smiled shyly at the girls and waved.
"Hey, my name is Flora."
"I'm Karen," the first one with blondish white hair said, "and they are Kara, Cathy, Katherine, Kitty, Kristi, Sally, Lucy and last but not least Maya."
"Please to meet you."
Karen smiled as she looked around the castle and noticed how full it was becoming with Techna's friends.
Pathetic pixie doesn't know that my friends and I are witches. I think it is time to have a little fun.
"Hey, Techna," Kitty said, "did you hear that Karyssa is gone missing?"
"No, what happened?"
"Rumor has it that she slept with a man and then she exile to a different planet," Kristi said joining in on the conservation.
"I heard she was kidnapped," Kara said throwing in her two cents.
"I heard that she join the Trix and went into hiding so then she doesn't have to face her family," another girl said as the gossip spread around the room.
Karen smirked as she saw Flora frowned slightly and walked away from the group.
"What's wrong, Flora?" Karen called loudly so everyone could hear, "don't like hearing gossip?"
"I think that it should be none of our business of what happened to the poor girl," was Flora's reply.
Karen walked over to Kara and both of them left the room into the kitchen.
"I'm going to call Nova and see if she wants to join our little fun," Karen told Kara whose smile turned upside down.
"Why, her?" Kara began to say until she notice Karen's glare, "I mean I like her, but others might think she's Darcy."
"Not with her disguise on, no one will even notice and besides she does tie her hair up."
"True, let's hope she remembers to play cool."
They left the kitchen and Karen walked straight over to Techna.
"I invited a friend whose name might remind you of one of your friends," she calmly told Techna.
"Okay, sure. The more the merrier."
