Thanks for all the reviews... this chapter's a bit short but I'll update soon.

The Reed Chapter 5

"Corinne, what are you doing here?"

"I said, give me The Reed."

"Why?"

Corinne shook her head slowly.

"You don't know what it can do. You don't know about the abilities it has."

"Oh yes we do. It kills. And that's why we have to destroy it."

"You don't understand."

"And you think you do?"

"Of course. I watched as it was being made. The special way it was constructed. How it was created to be able to withstand any kind of damage. And then one day, it was accidentally sold."

"And did the suppliers know about this?"

"David, the suppliers were my parents. And they were the ones who gave it its power. I need The Reed back."

"To destroy it?"

"No. Don't you see? The Reed cannot be destroyed, unlike other reeds. Bands would no longer have to spend vast amounts of money buying them every few months or so, for they would only need one."

"One?"

"Yes. For The Reed has the ability to reproduce itself."
