Hello everyone! Welcome to the first of, hopefully, many more Beacon of Red Light stories. I think that maybe we should first give you some background info on this, so you don't get completely confused by this randomness. Ahem.

In October, me (that's Kate, Beacon of Red light number 1) bought a huge bright red winter coat. My friend ( that's Beth, Beacon of Red light number 2) with my permission, went and bought a very similar one. One Friday, while waiting for a bus to take us to county Windband, we walked up onto the huge in hill in front of our school. We saw Emma, my friend and Beth's sister, walking out of school towards the front gates, where the hill is. So then, I shouted, while holding Beth's hand very dramatically:

"And then, Beth and Kate stood on the hill, like two Beacons of Red Light, and together, they guided Emma to the gate!"

In reply to this, Emma turned around and ran away, so me and Beth had to resort to forcing her.

However, this is how the Two Beacons were born. Just so you know. We are now considered as very important savers of the world.

The Pillars of Wisenessness are two stone blocks next to the school gate. Me and Beth sit on these while waiting for our bus. Then there is the Wall of Knowledge, which is attached to the gates. Numerous people sit on this while they wait for the bus.

And Mr.Kenyon is one of the Chemistry teachers at our school. He is a twat. No other way to put it. He called his son WINTSON for gods sake!

Anywhoo, I hope this very long introduction helps you with the story. ENJOY! And please review it, as well as reading it of course.

Fog clung to the trees, as a red cloaked figure walked through the un-kept grass. It was early morning, and the sun had only just begun to rise, creating a mystic orangey glow throughout the surroundings. It was cold, yet refreshingly cold, revitalising. The figure sighed sorrowfully as she climbed up the mossy hill. She sat down, and, pulling her coat around her, she looked sadly at the ruin in front of her. Piles of stone and rubble lay scattered around, now covered in plants and moss. Once outdoor mobiles lay in pieces, and old steps were miles apart from each other. It looked rejected. It was her old secondary school. She still remembered that day 5 years ago, when the spell had made the school crumble to the ground. This person was Beth Nelder, also known as Beacon of Red Light No.2 or Kate's Masters Sister.

Another red cloaked figure was walking, or rather plodding up the hill in a way that can only be described as un-lady like. She continued until she reached her younger friend and sat down. She herself remembered 5 years ago, when she had just turned fifteen, how she and her friends had escaped narrowly. Most of them had. Some of her friends had not made it. She wiped the tears that had come and swallowed the lump in her throat. There was never a day she didn't think about it. Her name was Kate, this was her real name, though many knew her by others. Perhaps, once, you met her. Maybe she told you her name was Kate. Or she could have told you her name was Emma's Padewon. Or she might have introduced her self as Katence. Or maybe, if it was a formal meeting of great importance, she could have told you she was Beacon of Red Light, No 1. And perhaps she gave another of her many names. She felt an arm around her shoulder, as her friend comforted her.

"Just like in the cinema, when we watched Pride & Prejudice, eh Kate?"

Kate gave a sniff and smiled back.

"When I burst into tears and freaked you out Beth?" Beth smiled too.

"Yeh. Like that."

They remained in silence once more, each thinking her own thoughts. Eventually, Kate broke the silence.

"It's not true is it? What every ones been saying? I could not believe it until I saw you."

"Yes," Beth said gravely, "it is".

Kate gasped. "But how? It cant be!"

"It is," Beth replied quietly. "Emma really does smell that bad."

"NO!" cried Kate, turning to face her. "Who would do such a thing?"

"Someone who must have known she was the sister of Beacon of Red Light No.2".

"Voldemort". Kate spat the words out as if they poison on her tongue.

Dum dum duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum

"What-Voldemort!"

Dum dum duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum

"Yes-Voldemort!" Kate said impatiently.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

They both hugged tightly, red on red, curly hair on curly hair, as they remembered. He had come with the Death Eaters. They had cast the spell, destroying as many muggles as possible as the objective. The main target had been them, for they were the Two Beacons of Red Light, something that could stand in the way of Voldemort. They both remembered how the walls had shook and crumbled, screams and cries of distress and the mania as people tried to desperately escape. Kate pulled away, frowning.

"Why, who else did you think it was?"

"I thought it was Errol" Beth replied.

Kate looked puzzled. "What, as in Emma's cockerel?"

Beth nodded.

"But why would he make Emma smell?"

"I don't know!" she said exasperatingly, "but that cockerel is EVIL! EVIL I say!"

Kate raised her eyebrows at her. "Riiiiighhhhhhtt".

"What! He is! You've seen how many times he's tried to attack Emma! And he gives me evil looks. AND, to add to matters, Emma's been kidnapped as well!"

"WHAT!"

Beth nodded desperately.

Tears came to both of their eyes. There was no-one, no-one they hated more than Voldemort at this moment in time. Except, of course, for Mr.Kenyon, the meanest teacher there had been in the school. They and their friends had often referred to him as Snape. Known for being obsessed with copper sulphate solution, they had never fully trusted him.

Kate stood up, pulling Beth up with her, who now looked bewildered.

"Come my Beacon. It's time we needed some knowledge".

"But….why?"

Kate smiled, running down the hill. "To rescue your sister of course!" she called over her shoulder.

"RESCUE her! But Kate…….hey wait!" The second Beacon of Red Light ran after her. "How? Voldemort is far more powerful."

She reached Kate, who was standing by two stone blocks. "I can't believe it", she said in amazement, while running her hand over one, "they're still here! Both of them!"

They each climbed on one.

"The Pillars of Knowledge," Kate said grandly.

"Wisenessness," Beth cut in. "The Pillars of Wisenessness."

"Are not."

"Are too."

"Are NOT!"

"Are TOO!"

"ARE NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

"Just shut up!" they both yelled.

They grinned as they both remembered the week-long fall out had caused. As well as making their throats roar from shouting continuously, it had also ticked off their friends considerably.

"I'm sure they were deafened!" Kate said, "and Tash and the others were…". She drifted off, her eyes suddenly lighting up. Beth had read her mind already, her own face brightening.

"That means…."

"Of course!"

"GUIRNSEY!" they both cried while nodding at each other. Beth grabbed Kate's hand. "Come on!".

They began to run, laughing and screaming as they clambered up the hill. They reached the top, and held hands while Beth shouted at the top of her lungs;

"We swear Emma, as the two Beacons of Red Light, that we will NOT stop until we find you, whether we have to travel the 7 seas.."

"In her dinghy" Kate chipped in.

"Yes," Beth continued, "even if we use my rubber dinghy! We will never stop until we have once more guided you to the gate, or what's left of it!"

The sun rose magnificently behind them as the day finally dawned, bringing new spirit and determination with it.

"Yeh," Kate cried, "what she said!"
