A/N: I know she's evil, but I feel sorry for Clare. Becky is horrible to
her. It's her fault she's stupid!
Luvs Elfie xXxXx PS. MJ: you're still not better, dammit! For the love of Orlando, how much humour does a girl need to come up with to make people feel better?!?! Honestly! And if you're not in tomorrow (being Friday) give me a ring when school's out and I'll tell you everything that's happened with BOB (aka Armando aka Armadillo)!!!!!!
Chapter 3
"So," said Clare, fiddling with the ring on her finger, idly. "What do we do?"
"Well, I don't think we can do this alone," said Becky. "Now we're out, Michelle and Robyn are going to be really protected. Legolas and that boyfriend of Robyn's, Ash-"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" said Clare. "Legolas? I thought he hated Michelle. She dumped him. And Robyn has a boyfriend? How do you know all this? You've been inside for the past four months!"
"I have my sources," said Becky, with a grin. "And no, Legolas does not hate Michelle. They are married." Clare's eyes widened a little. "And she's pregnant again." They widened more. "And Robyn is pregnant too." Her mouth fell open.
"I seriously wonder about you," said Clare. "Where do you get these contacts? I could seriously have done with some of this info whilst in there. It might have helped me think of something useful for us to do now."
"Clare, that will never happen," said Becky. "Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, Legolas and Ash will be with Michelle and Robyn all the time now. We need someone to help us distract them. Get Michelle and Robyn alone. Then we can attack. But this time, no kidnapping and stuff. It was fun, but we got caught last time. I can't be doing with it again."
"Fine," said Clare, trying to take it all in. "So, what do we do?"
"I can't think if you keep babbling," said Becky.
They both sat in silence for a few minutes. Becky was thinking, Clare was daydreaming. Thinking was too much like hard work for her. And if Becky could do it well, then there was no point in her doing it as well. Plus, on the rare occasion of her ever having ideas, they came about when she wasn't actually thinking. The same happened on this occasion.
"What about if we kidnap Ash?" she said suddenly. Becky looked at her.
"Didn't I say no kidnapping?" she said.
"If we got him round to our way of thinking," continued Clare, regardless, "he could help us get them."
"Oh yeah, and how are we going to do that then?" said Becky, finding many flaws in Clare's grand plan. "I've been told he dotes after the girl. She's having his baby for crying out loud. I've been told that he's on the verge of proposing." Clare had to stop herself from saying 'awww'. She might be evil, but she had a soft spot for romance. "There's no way he's going to suddenly want to kill them both."
"Well, get this contact of yours to dig up some dirt," said Clare. "Find out some stuff that Robyn's done that he may have forgiven her for, but could still be painful. If she's as much like her mother as we think she is, we'll have an endless list!" Becky couldn't think of anything else to throw at Clare. 'Bloody hell, I hate it when she' right! Oh well.'
"You know what?" said Becky. "I think we really have something here."
"I don't care what you say!" said Robyn, indignantly. "If I have a daughter she is NOT being called bloody Cynthia!"
"I don't want to call her bloody Cynthia!" retorted Ash. "Just Cynthia."
"Where the hell did you find that name anyway?" she ranted. "It's not even real, is it?"
"I just heard it somewhere and thought it was alright, so suggested it. There's no need to bite my head off. I'm trying to come up with some names here but all your doing is snapping at me!"
"Well, if you came up with some sensible names I wouldn't snap, would I?!" she hissed. They were walking along a wide, brightly-lit corridor in the Palace. Michelle and Robyn had been spending a lot of time there recently. Mainly because Aragorn and Legolas felt it was the safest place they could be, but also because neither Aragorn nor Legolas were letting them do anything. At all. They weren't allowed to socialise or anything. It was a week since Becky and Clare had escaped and nothing had happened, so Robyn and Michelle felt that everything was safe. But no. They had to stay in the Palace or at home. They chose the Palace because there were servants at their every beck and call. But still, Michelle hadn't seen Mary-Jo or Tracey for a week and a half and Robyn hadn't been given the chance to make- up with Ioraneth (which she desperately wanted to do). They were now both very irritable and Legolas and Ash only stayed with them because they had to.
"Well, I'm sorry, Robyn," said Ash. "I just can't think of anything. And you're not exactly thinking of anything either, are you? All you seem to do now is have a go at me."
"Well excuse me!" she said. "I can't help it if I'm hormonal! And anyway, you better get used to it! You've got a lot worse than this to come!" She walked angrily ahead of him. He stopped for a moment and watched her. 'Damn, she's sexy when she's angry!' he thought. (A/N: We all know that a lad's mind is constantly fixed on one thing... ARGH! Does that mean I'm turning into a boy?) He was about to go after her when a small but strong arm pulled him down a narrower, darker side passage. He was very confused. In front of him were two women of the about the same age as Michelle. They were both slightly smaller then he was and they both bore grins of satisfaction.
"Well, that was a lot easier than we had hoped!" said one.
"Yep," said the other. "I told you it would work."
"Yeah, yeah, stop bragging," said the first. "It was a one off. Anyway, hello Ash." She turned her attention to him. He was surprised that he knew her name, as he had absolutely no idea who she was.
"Um. hi," he said, awkwardly.
"We have a proposition for you," she said. (A/N: O_o) "And you're going to accept it."
"Er. OK then," he said, cautiously. He was getting kind of freaked now. "But firstly, who are you?"
"My name is Becky," said the woman. "And this is Clare. You may have heard of us. We escaped from prison about a week ago and are now officially on the run. We got out so we could get revenge on Michelle and Robyn."
"Right then," he said. "Is this the part where I'm meant to run away shouting and raise the alarm?"
"Normally, yes," said Becky. "But do that and we'll seriously hurt you."
"OK, so should I just listen to what you have to say then?"
"That would probably be wise," said Clare.
"Now listen very carefully, Ash," said Becky. "You are going to help Clare ad myself get revenge on Michelle and Robyn. You are going to help us kill them." He stared at her in disbelief.
"Er. no I'm not!" he said eventually.
"Yes, you are," said Becky.
"No I'm not!" he repeated.
"Yes. You. Are," she said again, more forcefully.
"No, I'm not!" he cried. "I love them! Both of them! I'm not killing either of them! And I'm certainly not aiding you two! GUARDS! ANYBODY! THE ESCAPED PRI- mmph mmph mmph!" Becky's hand was clamped over his mouth and she was holding a blade to his throat.
"Not another word or I will use this thing!" she hissed. She stood there for a moment impatiently. "Now would be a great time to get us out of here!" she shouted at Clare.
"But I don't want to!" moaned Clare. "It hurts too much with just one person! There's no guarantee I won't die or something trying to teleport two of you!"
"Does it matter?" barked Becky.
"Do you want to get stuck half way?" replied Clare. "Because that's what will happen if I die before you get to the hut! You'll never be able to get back either! You'll have disappeared off the face of the earth!"
"Do it one at a time then!" said Becky. She handed the knife to Clare. "Take this. You go first. Then take Ash, then me. And be quick!"
And quick she was. It took her a total of 10 seconds to teleport all three of them individually to their hut (they had put a claim on since no one else appeared to own it).
"Now that wasn't so hard, was it?" said Becky, when all three were safely back.
"Says you!" said Clare, sat with her head in her hands. "You haven't got the migraine of the century!"
"Oh, you'll survive," said Becky. She snatched the knife from Clare's hand and faced it at Ash, who had dashed to the door and failed at his attempt of freedom. "Good job you locked the door before you left, Clare." She grabbed Ash's arm and roughly seated him. She picked up the rope that was on the nearby table and began to tie him to the chair. "Sit down Ash," she said. "There are some things we'd like to tell you."
