Chapter 9 ~ Trouble

Sylvani stalked through the streets looking down at the pavement and muttering to herself, she grimaced when she reached the door of the children's home. She banged on the door until a plump and cheerful blonde queen bounded up to her.

"Hello Chickie! What can I help you with?" she asked grinning widely,

"Is Bill Bailey there?" she muttered quietly almost whispering.

"He sure is! Come inside love and I'll show you to his room" Sylvani nodded slightly and followed the bouncy blonde,

"Here it is darling," said the plucky queen Sylvani smiled softly and waltzed into Bill Bailey's room. Bill looked up, he cursed

"Look I've apologized to your sister, please don't strike me… again."

Sylvani painted a fake smile on her face,

"No, I just want to-" she paused "Talk"

Bill bailey raised a brow uncertainly "Okay…"

Sylvani took a seat on Bill's bed,

"Look Rose said some things…"

"Ah crud"

"-About you being a boozer and Silla…"

"Believed her" said Bill completing Sylvani's sentence.

"Yeah" she answered shrugging "So is it true?" she asked.

Bill rolled his eyes

"Nothing Rose says is true"

"Then I'm going to rip her intestines, dance with them and then shove it down her devious little throat" she muttered darkly….

Demeter walked cautiously to Macavity's house, she had to end it, there and then. But when she reached the Victorian cottage it wasn't peaceful and silent like it normally was, there were blue and red flashing lights. Sirens were bleating she flinched, Macavity came out with a police officer and handcuffs around his wrists.

"Mac?" the police officer looked up

"Sorry love, Macavity here is coming into the station for questioning, we have evidence that he's a drug addict." Her eyes widened, he looked up

"You're a hateful little swine Demeter, wait till' I get out. I'll get you back for this, oh yes I wil."

Tears swam in her emerald eyes as she darted away like a bullet from a gun,

"This cannot be happening" she sobbed.

She ran into her room and sobbed into her pillow.

Astrid watched the blue and red lights flicker, he whistled

"What has that idiot done now?" he murmered.

He kicked a stone as he walked back home

"I sure would hate to be on his bad side right now…"
