Hi again! ^_^;; Another fun-filled chapter....well....maybe...let's hope so. Oh, in Chapter 10, that thing about Bevier and the "sites", that was Sweetlee's idea that she said in a review, so, like, give her all your thanks ^^;; I forgot to add that in in the actual chapter. Also, the hot/cool thing in this chapter is brought to you by Songwind, so give her credit for that..and...so...uhh...yeah...I don't own David Eddings..

"Okay!" declared Cara leaning over her english folder in a businesslike way, "Spill it!"

I tried not to groan. I'd been avoiding the girls in my class like the bubonic plague all day, but I'd caught it in the end.

"Uhh..spill what?" I asked inocently. She let out a huge gasp and rolled her eyes.

"That guy who was with your brother!"

Are they talking about me?

Uhh..yeah. They were there outside the guitar shop.

Ah.

"He looked so hot!" sighed Kylie, hugging her Animal Farm essay to her chest.

"Oh, I know!" giggled Ceidhle (My spelling of that changes every chapter x.x....such an awkward name...).

What do they mean? It was a very cold day, how could I be hot?

Uhh...well...that is...

"I can't believe you knew such a cool guy and never told me about it!" moaned Cara.

..................

There was a wave of utter bafflement from Bevier as he tried to figure this out.

.....How can I look cool and hot at the same time?

Despite myself, I started to grin.

Wait a minute...this is one of the strange expressions used in your world, isn't it?

Yeah....kind of.

What does it mean? Bevier sounded suspicious.

It means...uhh...

Yes?

Uhh...

Suddenly the bell rang , interrupting our thoughts.

Sorry, no time to talk! Gotta get to..uhh....home!

Half way down the hill towards the school bus I froze. At the other side of the carpark were the two guys that had stood outside my mum's car! They were both staring directly at me! Almost tripping up in my panic, I dove behind a group of fiftth years and hurried the rest of the way down the slope. As the bus drove home, I could see the clouds gathering....

It was dark, it was overcast, the skies were heavy, and after a tiring day at school I was crawling into my bed for an early night. Pulling the covers over my head, I shut my eyes, trying to shake off the weird feeling that had been at the back of my mind since seeing those two men at school. I don't know how long I lay there, whether it was minutes or hours, or whether I fell asleep or stayed awake, but after a period my senses suddenly prickled, and I heard the quiet crackle of stones from our drive, then slow, stealthy footfalls along the path towards my window. I held my breath, my heart beating wildly in terror, and I slowly looked out from under the corner of my cover. There was a silhouette of a figure outside my window! I shut my eyes tightly, just as I heard the tremendous crash of my window shattering. Some fragments of glass fell on the edge of my bed, and my curtains billowed in the night breeze.

Almost hyperventilating in fear, I cowered beneath my blankets, with only my eyes above them. A large boot appeared on the ledge, and with a grunt a figure landed just inside my window, glass shards cracking beneath his feet. It was the shorter, tougher looking brute out of the two men. He leered over at me, his piggy eyes glinting with malice.

"Well, now. Aren't you in trouble?" he sneered.

Wow..o.o major plot twist. Well, I was actually planning on doing this anyway, but I was originally gonna extend the first bit but..uhh...there was a major gap between writing the first part of this chapter and the last part and i got bored and decided "What the heck! I'll just dive right into the action!" so yeah.. please review. I'll try and update soon, Guides Honour! *salutes* ^^;;
