Sorry it's taken so long to update but I've been so busy with school lately and all this party planning for Halloween and stuff. But I'm back now and writing as much as I can fit in to my schedule. So enjoy!
Chapter Seven: The War Begins
When Angela and Brennan walked into school the following day, they were met by three sets of glaring eyes.
Angela immediately glared back, clutching Brennan's arm protectively. "What do you Barbie dolls want?" She demanded.
Rebecca Stinson smiled evilly at her. "Whatever do you mean, Angie?"
"Don't call me Angie, and you know very well what I mean!" Angela snarled at her, lurching forward but Brennan stopped her.
"Ange, no!" she said, as she noticed her friend's fangs appearing and Rebecca and Tessa reaching into their bags for their wands as the new girl, Hannah, jumped back in surprise.
"What's going on here?" Miss Julian asked, walking towards them quickly.
The blondes quickly stashed their wands and stepped back from Angela, who was still glaring at them with a hungry look in her eye. "Nothing, Miss Julian." Rebecca said innocently, "we were just minding our own business and this Vamp tried to attack us!"
"What?" Angela said, fuming.
"Angela, calm down!" Brennan said, pulling her back once again from lunging at the blonde wizards while Hannah still gave her a terrified look.
Miss Julian turned towards her. "Is this what happened, Miss Brennan?"
Brennan shook her head, still trying to soothe a steaming mad Angela. "No, Ma'am. They were giving us a little trouble, though we did over react."
"We? You include yourself in this we?" Miss Julian asked, raising an eyebrow. Brennan nodded solemnly.
Miss Julian then turned to Hannah. "And did you play any role in this, Miss..."
"Burley," Hannah provided, "Hannah Burley. I'm new and no, I played no role in this."
"What?" Angela screeched. "You were practically throwing daggers at us with your eyes! You were probably saying a spell in your head or something!"
"How on earth would I perform a spell without a wand?" Hannah spat back.
Miss Julian turned to her curiously. "You don't have a wand?"
Hannah shook her head. "No, I reported it stolen yesterday and it still hasn't been returned to me."
Miss Julian thought for a second. "Do you know of anybody that might want to take it?"
Hannah glared in Angela's direction. "Now that I think of it, one of them could have stolen it." She gestured at Brennan and Angela.
Miss Julian turned towards them and sighed. "Would either of you mind a search of your bags. I'm sure you have nothing at all to hide."
Brennan nodded. "I don't have anything to hide and neither does Angela. Right, Ange?" she said, taking Angela's attention from Hannah, whom she was still glaring icily at.
Angela nodded and handed her book bag over to Miss Julian. "Take it."
Miss Julian did a half-hearted search of Brennan's bag, finding nothing at all before moving to Angela's.
But it took barely two seconds for her mouth to gape open in surprise as her hand pulled out a wand engraved with the initials H.B etched into the fine cherry wood.
*Gasp* Did Angela really steal the wand or was she set up by the bitchy blondes? Find out in the next chapter. Until then, please REVIEW!
