Frankly, I'm amazed that some people are even reading this, so I guess I owe you more chapters ^_^;
Thank you so muuch! More soon, I hope, but I'm starting my A Levels on the 6th of September so.. We'll see how it goes D:
I hope I'll be able to, though. And also, I know that this chapter's short and really not good, but considering it's 1:40am and I just felt like updating, I think it's okay. Hope it'll do for now!
~Loves!
Poof!
After getting into a restaurant that they could all eat in, they ordered, and before long, they were eating and chatting happily. It was a very comfortable atmosphere that surrounded them – even though Isla had insisted that Skye and Jane sit together.
It would 'look better' apparently. It would 'look more normal', for a girl to be sat with Skye than for two girls together and one lone man, or two almost identical people and one lone girl. They couldn't exactly argue, so together they sat.
Soon they got over the awkwardness of being so close. Jane and Skye were both hungry, anyway, which probably helped to dissolve the atmosphere. Jane's appetite hadn't exactly been huge that morning, and Skye had just been dragged around some shops as some form of torture, so it made sense.
Halfway through, Jane glanced up from their table, and paused in her eating. Nobody really took any notice, before Jane excused herself and hurriedly left, presumably to go to the ladies' room. Isla thought nothing of it, until Skye too, hurried off after excusing himself.
What was going on?
Isla looked around. No, Skye was going in the men's room, so they weren't sneaking off together or anything of that sort of thing.. Not that Isla would expect that of... Well, Jane at least. This was quite suspicious though.
"...and when we got through the door, she was gone!"
Isla froze as she heard a voice that she thought was slightly familiar. Trying not to be obvious, she turned her head, seeking out the speaker. She was small, cute, with straight brown hair, in farmer-like clothes. Her name was on the tip of Isla's tongue but she couldn't quite remember.
She knew that this girl lived in Forget-Me-Not valley, though.. Maybe she'd listen for just a little longer.
"Vesta is really angry, and she's arranging a search party. Jane can't have got far... But I can't believe she'd do this, she'd cover for a thief! She'd go against her friends!" The girl obviously felt strongly about this – and there was hardly any doubt in Isla's mind about who the Jane was that she was talking about.
"The worst thing.." she said, before sniffing a little. "I'm so worried, I just want her to come home!" The girl collapsed into sobs. Poor girl. She was really fond of Jane.
Isla bit her lip. It was her brother's fault, but now..Well. She'd have to think of a plan, but it wasn't going to be easy to save this situation.
