Thanks again to everybody who has reviewed previous chapters. You guys are the BEST! :D
We get to see more of Christine's power in this chapter. Piper even gets to experience some of it too. I decided on the name Kate for Piper's mother's name. Kate Piper? Doesn't that have a nice ring? Well, anyway, enjoy the chapter!
Christine and Piper turned and started walking to the back of the petting zoo where all of the employees worked. They all wore blue uniforms. Christine and Piper looked across the corner to see if anybody was at the back of the zoo.
There was a tall man, dressed in the regulation clothing filling up a bucket of food. Christine gazed at his shadow enviously as she grasped Piper's hand. They walked toward the man.
"Hello," Christine cleared away her throat and all of the thoughts of how much trouble she could get into for doing this. "Can you show us to the front gate? My little brother and I seem to be lost."
He looked up at them incredulously. "Your little brother? Right. Well, it's right over there." He pointed to the front gate with his finger then went back to his work.
Christine rolled her eyes in distress. HOW? She thought.
"What now?" Piper murmured in her ear.
"Hold on. We'll just have to do this the old-fashioned way, Piper. Close your eyes."
He did as he was told while Christine thought. She thought hard about wanting to get into the zoo, and wanting to be bound in the man's shadow. Ever so slowly, they seeped into the ground, and spilled into the man's shadow. They stood waiting, waiting for him to go into the zoo.
"Come on!" Christine screamed. "Go into the freaking zoo!" She and Piper stood in the darkness. Finally the man finished filling up the bucket and started to the zoo the back way.
When in the back building, they rose from the shadow. Still grasping Piper's hand, they seeped in between the floor and the door, you know that crack about 1/2 inch tall. They turned to the side of the building and tramsformed back into humans again. (Instead of shadows.)
Thanks for all of the feedback! Remember that even negative comments are accepted! Anything will help me improve.
Keep on rockin' yall,
