Chapter eleven

As usual Leah lay across Asa's lap sighing with content as he stroked her hair, when suddenly a thought came to her head,

"Does my brother know about us?"

"Of course not, he'd kill me, but he has no idea where you are."

"Good, I mean-" Leah stopped mid sentence as three extraordinary cats came in, dragging what looked like a picnic basket.

"Is that food?" Asa asked, very interested.

Leah rose from Asa's lap and took the basket from the cats. They miowed persistantly until she opened the basket. Leah peered inside and gasped, almost dropping the basket in shock. Asa jumped up in alarm,

"What's in there!"

"A s-snake!"

"No food?" Asa sat down disappointedly.

"It's blue snake!"

"Well you can only expect that from a red, orange and yellow cat. I wonder what they've been eating-"

"Asa! There's a note!" Leah pulled out a neatly folded paper that read in messy handwriting:

'The flames believe you will find this useful...Whoever you may be, please return this Blue Boa to the Pet Cafe once whatever needs to done is done.

Cheers'

Asa and Leah exchanged a look, Asa shrugged,

"Food would've been more useful..."

Leah rolled her eyes,

"I'm going to find Charlie, maybe he knows something we don't..." Her dress swished around as she turned on her heel and vanished.

"Bloody Charlie," Asa muttered darkly as he heaved himself up, he eyed the cats, "Bloody cats..."

"Amber?" Charlie had found himself talking Amber alot recently, although nothing quite like this. At the moment she was flat chest, came up to Charlie's knees, with a moustashe and big sunglasses. She/He/It looked up at him,

"Yes, Charlie?" Amber replied in a phony french accent.

"...What are you doing...?"

"I'm hiding from Tancred, he found out I thought he was gay and it's kind of embaressing. He probably hates me now."

Charlie shook his head,

"And standing around looking like a dwarf is less embaressing?"

"Yes."

"Charlie?" Leah whispered in Charlie's ear, this used to scare Charlie but he had grown to get used to it, "I just saw the weirdest thing..."

"No, it's not a thing Leah...It's just Amber avoiding Tancred..."

Amber frowned as Leah giggled.

"More weird than that."

Charlie raised his eyebrows,

"I gotta see that, take me to the weirdness!" Charlie allowed Leah 2 grab his sleeve and lead him away, "Talk to Tancred!" He called over his shoulder.

Dear Charlie,

I know it's silly to write to you like this when I will see you later anyway, (Amber! Stop reading over my shoulder! You can proof read after I've fineshed. Yes, I know I jus spelt 'fineshed wrong. Shut up.) But I just find this way easier...

I don't know if you've relised (or care) but I have begun to develop feelings for you. I do value your friendship though, so if you don't feel the same way I would like to remain friends. So please don't let this ruin how things are now, but I don't wish to continue thinking 'what if?'...So please reply as soon as you have the time.

Erin

P.S Amber is a sexy beast. Oh yeah! The power of proof reading.

P.S.S Ignore moustashe girl.

P.S.S.S Shut up.

P.S.S.S.S Stop writing!

"It's the Blue Boa."

"Oh yay!" Leah exclaimed sarcastically, "Now I know what it is, I know why I have it now!"

Charlie gently stroked the placid snake,

"Well it has the power to turn people invisible."

"But I can already become invisible, so why do I need a snake?"

Charlie shrugged,

"Form of revenge?"

Leah's eyes sparkled,

"That's brilliant!" She then looked more closely at the snake, "But it seems pretty harmless, I don't think it'll want to turn people invisible..."

"Oh it will, the Bloors had him locked up here for ages. He'll be having his revenge as well."

Leah grinned,

"Oh this is fantastic..."

Charlie collasped on his bed, moments later Tancred leaped into the room as a warm summer's breeze tickled Charlies face. Tancred jumped onto his bed and a rainbow - rain free - appeared above his bed.

"Good day?"

"The best."

"Anyone I know?"

"Of course."

"Does she have a moustashe?"

"Used to."

XXXX

Tancred wasn't the only one have a good day...Leah pranced around the attic with a broom,

"Don't worry...Be happy...Doooo do do dah do dah doooooo..."
