~Chapter 4: Pranks and Not-pranks~
A few moments later, Kathleen and Casey entered Jake's room and Casey said "You know, that idea of putting Pepper Imps in the boys' chocolate cake was brilliant!"
"I know.they'll have burning mouths for ages!"
They both laughed and sat of Jake's bed. "Ooh, I'm cold, let me put this on and we'll go find something else to do." Kathleen reached for her sweater, pulled it over her head and screamed. "EWW!!!!" she yelled.
She heard from downstairs, "Is everything ok up there?"
"Yeah, fine Mom!" Casey called back to Hermione.
"What are you talking about? Everything is NOT fine! There's a frikin' spiders in here! Gross! The boys must've put it in here! SICK!" Kathleen shrieked.
"It's just a spider, Kat, honestly. I may be a tomboy, but even if I was totally girly I wouldn't be afraid of these things.they don't bite!" Casey said. She easily picked up the spider and sent it on its way out the window, where she lay it down carefully and watched it crawl out of sight (totally opposite of what Ron would've done!)
"We've got to get those boys back for this!" Kathleen told her friend.
"Oh yeah!" Casey grinned slyly. "Let's go!"
All throughout the day, pranks were being pulled. Pepper Imps in cake, spiders in sweaters, booger, ear wax and vomit flavored Bertie Bott's Beans were put in muffins, and even framing someone for doing something they didn't do was a popular trick. Soon after dark, the kids were growing tired of their games. They were now each grounded for 2 weeks - being framed for doing bad things was highly effective.
"One more prank," Jason told Jake, as they were heading outside.
"Yeah, ok."
"Wait, I've got an idea. I'll go to the side of the house, and.well, you just make sure you get the girls leaning their heads on my window, ok? I'm going to find some nice bugs and put them in their hair!" Jake said gleefully.
"Excellent!" Jason called at Jake, who'd already started making his way towards his outside bedroom window.
Jason went inside and started talking to his sister. "Where's Casey?"
"Bathroom - why?" While Jason persuaded his sister to go to Jake's room, and waited for Casey; Jake was already finding bugs. Casey, now out for the bathroom, decided to go outside really fast. She spotted Jake and decided to spy on him.
"What prank does he think he's getting us with now?" Casey muttered to herself. Suddenly, she stopped. Jake - where was Jake? She'd just seem him and then she saw something snatch at him, and he was gone. Where was he?
Then she saw - a tall lady with midnight black hair was fighting Jake onto a broomstick. "HEL -" Jake tried to scream, but the lady stuffed a large cotton rag into his mouth and whisked him off into the darkness. Casey was terrifyed.
She yelled after him, "JAKE!!!" The woman who was kidnapping him heard. She looked back at her from the sky, her bright snake-like red eyes glittering. Casey saw the frightened look Jake had on his face. The kidnapper cried out gleefully, "You'll never catch me! And you'll never see this boy again - say good-bye!" And she put on an extra outburst of acceleration on the broomstick and she dissapeared into the night.
