As I promised, I'll continue if I get 5 reviews... AND I DID! THANK YOU
EVERYONE! ^_^
The Reed II: Chapter 3
The Reed laughed in their heads.
MUAHAHAHAHA!
"I...it can TALK?" Ian stammered.
Yes.
"B...but how?"
The textbooks, of course. Those wonderful textbooks of yours. Why don't you go see for yourself?
"No," Martyn whispered, ashen faced for some reason.
"What's it mean, the textbooks? What tex..." Ariel was cut off as he dashed past her to the part of the room where their luggage was kept. Seconds later kneeling on the ground, desperately clinging onto what had once been three textbooks and a workbook filled with Martyn's meticulously neat handwriting.
Hyperventilating, his eyes opened wide with horror, he could not but stare down at the miserable contents he held in his hands, mumbling incoherently all the while.
"It got my textbooks... The Reed got my books... it got my books..."
"Why on EARTH did you bring them here in the first place?" David exclaimed in disbelief.
"It got my books... The Reed got my textbooks..."
What did I tell you? The Reed gave a sinister chuckle.
"Do you KNOW how much they COST?" Suddenly, Martyn was on his feet and yelling. "And do you have any IDEA what the teacher will DO to me?"
The boy started hyperventilating again, as the rest of the Fellowship exchanged puzzled and 'is-he-crazy?' looks.
Not unless I kill you first.
Looking back, Charis could never be sure what happened then. One moment The Reed was threatening to kill Martyn, and the next she saw it whizzing through the air. In a state of panic, she had struck out with the only thing she had... her clarinet. The Reed hit the mouthpiece; and it fell to the ground where it lay innocently, just like any other normal oboe reed.
Martyn's hands had shot up to protect his face, and he now lowered them, marveling at the fact that he was still alive.
"Wow...nice shot, Charis."
The clarinetist's mouth was open in shock, as if she could not believe what she had just done.
"So... do we take it, or what?"
"I don't know... but where can..."
Ian was interrupted by a loud pounding on the band room's door, which was followed by angry shouts.
"What're you guys DOING in there? Why'd you LOCK US OUT FOR?"
The Fellowship looked at each other.
"Uh..." Then, as one, they rushed to unlock the door and came face to face with the fuming band major, who was surrounded by the rest of the band.
"Didn't I say to assemble OUTSIDE the band room? You think it's so funny, going IN and locking the rest of us OUT?"
The Fellowship were speechless.
"Uh..."
"ALL OF YOU! DROP FIVE HUNDRED!"
"WHAT?"
"You DARE to QUESTION ME? Do it NOW!"
"YES SIR!"
The five members of the Fellowship got down to the floor and started the five hundred pushups. Ariel did ten and blacked out. Ian did twenty-five and collapsed on top of Ariel. Seeing the band major turn away for a moment, Martyn used the chance to snatch a quick look at The Reed.
It was gone.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Yay! Same as usual, five reviews before I continue. Review my story and I'll review yours. Thanks. ^_^
Kathryn: I don't have anything against oboes. I PLAY the oboe. Just that that day the conductor gave a rather vivid description of what would happen if oboes were to march in band and someone banged into them... almost the whole band freaked out. And thus began The Reed... Thanks for all your reviews!
Squid Bagpipe: I thought I reached the level of random stupidity long ago... read my other fics and you'll see.
Libbydia: Thanks for your reviews! I gave myself nightmares while writing the reed-in-eyeballs part... couldn't sleep that night... *sigh*
Dexter: Um, I haven't watched The Ring, though I know the main storyline and all that...
Dum de dum: My band is a concert band, so no colourguard...so I can't write about them. I won't know how to. Thanks for reviewing!
Wildmage42: Sorry for ending with yet another cliffhanger... *grins evilly* I couldn't help it. If you like cliffhangers you should watch Back to the Future 2. Stupid cliffhanger. I want to sue the movie producers. I've just watched pt 3 though... so there goes my chance of earning quick cash... Thanks for all your reviews!
CmrAwk: Hi! Bye! See you in school tomorrow.
