Ok sorry it's been awhile but school work has been Hell lately! Enjoy!
If you are me (which you are not) your patients isn't exactly top notch. Excpecially in tight spaces... in a cow shed... waiting to see if you are going to die... with no chance of escape because even if you were to get through the door that you can't open you would have to deal with the men armed with guns and a certain man who has a knife and an old lady who looks like a magpie not to mention probably severe punishment if you were caught which you would be. Story of my life people.
There was nothing to do in the cow shed besides pace, twiddle my thumbs and ponder the fate of the universe which from the perspective of a captive looked very grim let me tell you.
Small meals were brought in in the morning and in the evening (At least I assumed it was morning and evening) but they were nothing to brag about. I finally managed to get a few hours of sleep on a moldy straw mat (Aren't they accomidating) but woke when I heard keys at the door. I jumped up and stood tensly in the middle of the room.
"Ah there's the little princess" and just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse Cockerell shows up. Maybe I would prefer Basta in his knife. Anything but Cockerells nicknames!
"Capricorn 'as sent for you. He wants you to meet someone." the man siezed my arm roughly and dragged me from the cow shed. It was dark out as he marched me across the yard and twoards Capricorn's church. Great to top off my day got another audience with Mr. Goat man. I wondered absentmindedly if he knew his name meant goat by decided not to ask.
Capricorn was in his same throne as when I last saw him his cold eyes turned on a man held by Basta and Flatnose. He was tall with dark brown hair and when he spoke he had a rich beautiful voice.
"I don't know what happened. Elinore must have switched the books" the man said.
Capricorn was fingering a book in his lap "Hmm... maybe maybe not. We will get that book Silvertongue, mark my words." He noticed Cockerell holding me at the entrance to the room. "Ahh... good. Silver tongue there is someone I want you to meet." Cockerell Pushed me roughly to the ground in front of Capricorn. I cast Cockerell a vicious glare before getting to my feet.
The man called Silvertongue had a gentle face and his eyes were wide with horror "You've taken to kidnapping innocent girls now. She can't be more than 14." Wow he hit it right on the dot.
"We have our reasons for this one" Capricorn said calmly "She has a power simaler to yours Silvertongue. Only with a pen instead of her tongue." Capricorn snapped his fingers and the stuttering small man from before scurried in with another sheet of paper and pen. Another demonstration, fabulous.
"Something living this time" he commanded me. "A dog or something of that sort." I humored my self with the idea of making a chiuawa appear in the middle of the room but I decided against it. No doubt Flatnose would step on it if I did.
I set my pen to paper and bagan to write:
A massive black lab stalked through the night on quick muscular legs his teeth sharp. His appearance was menacing but his mind was loyal and kind to the one who created him.
An idea popped into my head. And because it was created from pen and paper the writer could comunicate with it with her mind though this was unknown to the villans forcing her to serve them.
His name was Fang and he was more intelligent than anyone would suspect.
A massive black lab appeared in the room growling it's muscels rippling as it tensed for an attack.
Stop Fang! I thought hard stuffing the paper up my sleeve while no one was looking. Fang obeyed and sat down.
"Well look at that" Basta looked at the dog amused "She is a master of her art."
Silvertongue stared at the dog but he didn't seem to suprised.
"Put that beast with the other dogs." Capricorn ordered Flatnose.
Fang looked quetioningly at me Go on I thought Cooperate for now. I'll be fine. The dog nodded and simply followed Fatnose out of the room as he went to get a leash. I hid a smile as the villans stared after it.
"Smart dog" Capricorn mused "Basta Cockerell. Put these two both back in the cages." Basta seized my arm and dragged me from the room. Back to the cages? Dang my life just sucks!
When both me and Silvertongue were shut up in a cowshed SIlvertongue looked at me "You have quite a gift. My name is Mo. What's yours?"
"Callypso" I answered "Whydo they call you Silvertongue?"
"Because I can read things out of books" Mo sighed sitting down on a heap of moldy straw. Well ok then. "I'm afraid I'm the cause for this mess" he continued "I read Capricorn and his knife man Basta out of a book years ago and ever since he's been building up his forces. He's had some of his other henchmen read out too as well as recruiting young boys. Now he wants me to read to him." He sighed and shook his head.
Wow and I though my life sucked. "It's not your fault" I shrugged trying to make him feel better.
"Regardless, we're stuck here now" Mo sighed.
True be that. I sat down in a corner of the cell to think.
