Chapter 12

Kat lay in her bed, gazing up at the cracked ceiling.
How could what Dreadlock Boy said be true?
Kat smiled.
He was obviously making it up or completely mad! I must have written shfaelites down somewhere and then he started making up some strange fantasy to creep me out.
Kat shivered still though.
"Tomorrow I will go down to The Pool and check it out. I will hunt for Cythanies friends, Faye and all the others." Kat whispered.
She reached for her iPod and plugged the earphones into her ears.
She scrolled through the list of pop-rock-r&b songs, the bright glow casting a small light round the room.
Disturbia by Rhianna. That seemed so appropriate!
Tap! Tap!
Kat ignored it.
Tap! Tap! THUMP!
Kat's eyelids peeled back and she gazed at her window.
Cynthanie was desperatly tapping at the window, her eyes manic, and another shfaelite close behind her.
Kat leaped up and flung open the window.
The fairies tumbled in and lay, quivering, on the duvet.
Eventually, Cynthanie sat up.
"This is my sisters, Cyrena, she flew here from another clan." Cynthanie panted.
Cyrena looked up.
She had the deepest blue eyes, very pale skin, the colour of milk, a small pink tutu of rose petals, and she had a twist of blonde hair which was pulled up in a elegant bun.
Kat squinted.
She could vaguely see the resemblance of Cythanie and Cyrena, although Cyrena seemed more delicate and....what was the word?
Happy.
"Why did you come here?" Kat asked curiously.
Cyrena opened her mouth to speak but shut it quickly, as Cythanie shot her a sharp, icy glance.
"My friends, the ones I've previously told you about, where chasing us." Cynthanie said visciously, her words sharp and hard.
"Why where they chasing you?" Kat asked.
"Because she tormented them." Cyrena managed to shout.
A flash of anger creeped up on Cythanie's face and she leaped onto Cyrena.
"Shut up you! You don't know anything!" Cynthanie screamed, pushing her onto the ground.
Kat didn't know how to react.
Without meaning to Kat grabbed Cynthanie and flung her off Cyrena.
"Are you ok?" Kat whispered.
Cyrena fluttered her eyes.
"Take me to.......take me to.......I'm dying." Cyrena whispered, her breathing irregular, and her voice shaky.
"What can I do?" Kat whispered.
"Kiki.............................don't fight them..............r...uu...nn....." Cyrena gasped, before she closed her eyes, and her body fell still.
Kat fell her fist ball.
She slowly turned to Cythanie, who was sitting on the floor, her eyes blazing.
"Get. Out. Of. My. House. Never. See. Me. Again." Kat snarled through gritted teeth.
Cythanie hissed, before vanishing.
Kat glanced down at Cyrena, tomorrow she would bury her under the newly planted tulips.
Kat's anger bubbled, as she placed Cyrena in a old jewellery box, then her anger reaching its peak, she went back to sleep.
