OOOH! I am so-o-o inspired for a new story, I am actually starting it right now... but I am going to finish this one first... so you'll see it in a few weeks... hopefully. Dangerous Girl is the working title.
Chapter 36: The Element of Not-Surprise
"Cala!" I yell, my heart beating faster.
"What?"
"They didn't come with us," shrieks Tate.
"Too true," she says and vanishes with a pop.
She returns seconds later, with the others in tow. "Side-Along Apparation," she explains.
"Who isn't seventeen?" Tate asks, curiously, answered with a beet red Julian.
"Where are we?" Lily asks.
"South of England." Cala says.
"We're not Secret Keepers," I explain. "Now, shh!"
"He knows we're here," Serena whispers, and the four of us exchange dark looks.
"How do you know?" James demands.
"All voices, well, their thoughts, have all stopped."
"What does that mean for our mission?" Lily stumbled over the unfamiliar German.
"I'll give it to you straight: we're screwed."
Still happy... tee hee hee. Okay, I'll let you in on my personal life: Jesse asked me out, on Thursday, FINALLY. (He's been trying for the past week, and it was beginning to piss me off.)
One more thing, I am so-o-o excited that I don't have to do much homework this weekend, for once! So, that's what's with the early update! Don't get used to it!
