CHAPTER 2
Cleo nervously entered the church, her little sister balanced on her hip and her trusty hound at her side. Standing at the alter was the beautiful Caine, with the dark haired girl he'd called Diana and the angry looking sandy haired boy Drake(?) behind him. In the pews were 'Captain' Orc and his posse; Mary Terrafino who had been running the day-care; Sam Temple and his friends Quinn, Edilio and Astrid as well as various others. Cleo hovered by the door, not sure if she should be there. Caine was making another speech, talking as if it was second-nature to him, sounding as if he could compete with the likes of Martin Luther King and Winston Churchill. Cleo stood there, half listening, seeing as it was kinda hard when Pippa was babbling in her ear about CharlieandLola and Octonauts. Suddenly though the Crucifix fell off the wall and fell on the front pew where Orc and co. were sitting. Cleo wondered if anyone was hurt and got her answer from a scream of pain like a siren. Pippa whirled her head round trying to see, and Cleo ran out of the church, this was not something suitable for 4-year-old-girls' eyes. She sat down hard on the stone steps, cuddling her little sister to her and stroking Oskar's soft fur. What had happened? One minute it had been firmly on the wall, the next it was falling to the ground. It was impossible, but it had happened. Cleo was sat there wondering about it when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she jumped and looked up to see the Diana girl smiling down at her. She took a seat next to the 3 of them, dusting the step down first in vain and took Cleo's hand in hers.
"Hi, I'm Diana. Diana Ladris. I saw you leave the church, I hope your little sisters alright. It's horrible when accidents like that happen isn't it." Cleo narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Err…yeah…horrible…" Diana took her hand away and rubbed her shoulder in a friendly way.
"Well we'd love to have your help err…"
"Cleo." Cleo offered.
"…Cleo, yeah, come to the town hall in like half an hour? I'm sure Caine would love to meet you." And with that she beamed at Cleo, ruffled Pippa's hair and swaggered off. Cleo realised her heart was beating double time at the mention of going to see Caine. Come on, she thought to herself, you're acting like a teenage school girl! Well, you are, but still…it's not like he's the first fit guy you've ever seen? Alfie was gorgeous and you didn't melt at the mention of HIS name! Cleo slapped herself a few times and then got up and took her two babies back home. She had to get herself ready to see the Mayor.
