Chapter 6: Gang Betrayal

Dummy girl, Mosshead and Slither were less than happy. They were

angry, no, beyond angry, they were PISSED OFF. Sure they SAID they

didn't mind that Thatch liked Casper, but of course, they lied.

Casper was going to steal THEIR Thatch away, THEIR leader, THEIR

friend. They weren't going to let Thatch go without a fight.

They waited till they saw Thatch and Casper leave the Headmasters

office. They followed in the shadows and waited 'till Thatch

kisses Casper good bye and they went their own ways. All three of

them moved forward, on each side and behind.

"Casper, we need to talk." Slither said slyly.

"Yeah, yeah, we need to talk now." Dummy Girl added, holding onto

Casper's arm and leads him along, Slither and Mosshead following

behind.

"What's going on?" Casper asked, wishing that Thatch was still

with him.

"We plan to help you, so just don't talk till we're somewhere

safe." Slither answered, wrapping one of his arms around Casper's

free arm. After just a few short minutes they were outside, alone.

Dummy Girl let Casper go finally and sat down on a rock. Slither

let go but didn't sit down, he just stood beside the rock, with

Mosshead standing beside him.

"Now Casper, we know about you and Thatch of course, we ARE his

closest friends." Slither paused, glancing at Dummy Girl and

Mosshead. "Well, I'M his closest friend at least." He added in an

after thought, getting a death glare from Dummy Girl and Mosshead.

Slither straightened himself and went on. "We've been with Thatch

since, well the start you could say." Slither seemed to take pride

in himself that he knew more about Thatch then Casper did. "So, we

know almost all his dirty little secrets." Slither teased more,

knowing he had Casper's full attention.

"Casper, you never done us wrong, so we want to help you."

"Yeah, yeah, want to help you Casper!" Dummy Girl chimed in.

"We want you to break up with Thatch." Mosshead said plainly,

staring Casper right in the eyes.

"Break up with Thatchy?" Casper gasped, already giving Thatch a

pet name. "Whatever for?"

"He's using you of course. Thatch finds some one willing enough to

have sex with him, and uses that person till he gets bored, and

Thatch gets bored easily and quickly. He's just using you as a sex

toy." Slither spoke, not a hint of amusement in his voice.

Dummy Girl and Mosshead watched them both, not speaking a word.

"But..." Casper spoke no more, staring at Slither with wide eyes.

Could this be true? Could his bat-boy do this? "But what about the

spark when we accidently touched. And the blue-pink light when we

held hands?"

"Thatch has done this time and time before, he's become very good

at his acting. After all, he's over 100 years old. So Casper, for

you own good, leave Thatch to us." Dummy Girl spoke, staring at

Casper with her wooden eyes, no sign of emotion in her face.

The brim of Casper's eyes filled with tears. He couldn't believe

this story, but then again, Thatch has always been a jerk. Casper

flew into the air and flew crying to Mantha and Ra.

"I think we've done it." Dummy Girl said to Slither and Mosshead.

"Yeah!" Slither replied.

"Alright!" Mosshead added.

They highfived eachother and left, laughing at their victory.
