Once again, thanks for all the reviews. This is the second last chapter
I'll be posting for a while...too much homework... *fakes way through book
review of an unread book*
The Reed: Chapter 7
The school gate was locked, but that didn't deter Joel. Corinne had told him where The Reed had come from, and it would take much more than that to stop him now. Still clinging on to the two Reeds, he climbed over the gate despite countless pleas from his friends:
"D'you know you can get four demerit points for doing that if you're caught?"
"Yeah! And if you get caught, you'd never be able to destroy the Reeds."
Corinne arrived and went over the gate as well. And the Fellowship, seeing that whatever they said seemed to have no effect whatsoever, followed suit.
Mt. Melo wasn't far away and Joel knew that. He was a fast runner, determined to make it there on foot, and Corinne was just as determined to follow him. The rest of the Fellowship, however, had been overestimated and they arrived there earliest via the air-conditioned comfort of a taxi, the driver of which was ecstatic at being able to have such business at such a time. And such were the two groups separated.
Jeslyn, Ariel, Marytn, David, Ian and Charis entered the supply shop that Corinne had mentioned and sat down on its cold stone floor, cracking lame and stupid jokes as they waited. And waited.
"I'm bored."
One after another, they all voiced their agreement. And then Ariel took her piccolo out from her pocket and started practicing the band's latest song, the theme from LOTR, which was greeted with groans from the other five.
"You mean you actually brought your instrument along?" Martyn asked. Ariel ignored him and continued playing the tune.
Just then, Joel came in, followed by Corinne. The former surveyed the place, and then turned to face the saxophone player.
"Where's the lab?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Because if you don't, I'll play a high C on my piccolo," said Ariel, standing up and preparing to blow. The Fellowship covered their ears.
"NO! Anything but that!" Corinne yelled, running to the far end of the room and pressing a section of the wall which slid aside to reveal a room.
With the help of the moonlight streaming through the hole in the wall, the Fellowship could make out two long tables on which stood various test tubes and other scientific stuff. On the opposite side of the room was a huge mirror, which reflected the light back to where they stood.
The eight of them entered.
"Well, what now?" They looked at Corinne.
"I don't know!"
"Tell us or I'll play a high C on my piccolo!"
The rest of the Fellowship covered their ears again.
"I said I don't know!"
Ariel played a high C on her piccolo, and the Fellowship stood amazed as the hundreds of test tubes smashed at the sound, sending bits of glass flying everywhere. When the room had settled, the Fellowship uncovered their ears and looked up. Where the mirror had once been was now a large, gaping hole.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Yay! Review!
