"I have a mission for you" Kathryn informed her step-brother Sebastian.
"What is it?" He asked impatiently as he was opening and slamming desk draws in the living room.
"You know Elizabeth Cartney? Daughter of Ronald Cartney, well I want you to entice her into your bed."
"Yes I know Elizabeth Cartney. Isn't she supposed to be one of your so called friends?" He emphasised the word 'friends' as he knew Kathryn had none. They thought she was her friend but really Kathryn despised them all.
"What the hell are you looking for?" Kathryn snapped annoyed that he still hadn't answered her proposal.
"My journal. I seem to have misplaced it."
"That's a first. You being separated from your precious journal" she said sarcastically. "Do you know how gay you look carrying around that stupid thing?" she had continued.
Sebastian walked across to her and knelt down to face her; both their noses were nearly touching.
"Just because you want to know what's in it doesn't give you the right to hide it."
"What makes you think I've hidden it?" she smiled sweetly.
"Because I always know where it is. So where have you hidden it?" he asked starting to get impatient.
Kathryn rose out of the chair she was sitting in and Sebastian rose from his kneeling position. She walked over to the desk and sat on it leaning back slightly.
"Now" she said putting an index finger over her bottom lip as in thought, really she was teasing him. "Last time I saw it was in your room."
"Where in my room? Give me specifics."
"Well you were writing in it."
"So you don't know where it is then?"
"Well" she paused "No"
He raised his hands into the air and let them fall back to his sides, turning away from Kathryn and walking towards his room.
There it was, sitting on the side table next to his bed.
"How could he have missed that?"
He swore to himself he hadn't placed it there earlier on. Sebastian stood there confused.
Kathryn on the other hand was sitting triumphantly in the front room.
While Sebastian was out earlier on she had moved his journal from the desk she was sitting on to the bedside table in his room.
Today was going to be fun.
The first game was finished.
