The Legends: The Scrolls of the Black Catkin


Part 17


"Pandie! Wait up, will ya?"


Arizan stopped briefly to take her breath, before starting to follow Pandie along with the others.  Damn, can she run fast or what? Arizan thought to herself, when the rest of the group had caught up with Pandie, It's as if someone had set fire to her tail.  Wait a minute! Tail?  Looking down, Arizan could see a long dark blonde tail swishing back and forth underneath Pandie's skirt.  "Um, Pandz?" she called, hoping to get Pandie's attention, "Er, you've got a, um..."


Pandie turned around and looked at her.  In her arms she was holding a small dirty blonde kitten.  "I'm sorry guys" she apologised, gently stroking the little kitten in her arms, "I thought I heard Faline scream, but I realize it was just her kitten Muffy crying.  I guess Fally just found her way out, and got to safety."  Then she looked at Arizan.


"Are you okay Riz?" Pandie said, frowning slightly as she looked at Arizan, "Something seems to be bothering you."


"Um, yeah" Arizan replied, trying to grasp what on earth was going on, "Pandie do you realize you've got a tai..."  But when Arizan looked down, to point out to Pandie, what she was talking, the tail was gone.  "Actually it's nothing" she said quickly, "I tend to go a bit weird in these kinda situations."  That's it, Arizan thought determinedly to herself, I am definitely cutting down on the soda pop and fizzy bon bons, from now on.  All that sugar is just making my brain go doolally.


"Are you sure, sis?" Hadrian said, walking up to Arizan and placing a hand on her forehead, "You're starting to shiver a lot."


"Excuse me!!" Arizan almost yelled in reply, turning to face her brother, "You'd be shivering too if you were standing in the middle of a graveyard in the middle of January, wearing only a t-shirt and hipster jeans!!!"


"Hey! No one told you to wear them, Riz!" Liedryn said moodily, crossing her arms over her chest, "Honestly you’re worse than Naida, sometimes!!"


"Don't start taking yer annoyance at Murphy out on me, Liedryn Maralle Drache, okay!!!" Arizan yelled back at the tall golden-brown haired shifter girl, "She disappeared, not me!! If you really have to yell at someone, yell at her!!!"


"Alright! That's it!" Rashel said loudly, making both girls go silent, and getting everyone's attention, "No more arguing, as of now! I don't care what it's about.  If you guys really want to argue, save it for later.  Right now, the most important thing we have to do is figure out what exactly that poem written on the statue on Pandie's father's grave meant."


"Actually, you're wrong" a feminine voice said out of nowhere, "That's not the most important thing you have to do."


Then to everyone's surprise, a young girl, about 5'7" tall, stepped out from behind an almost burnt out tree.  Her flame, copper, and blood red hair was long and danced about her head like a blazing flame, and her ruby coloured eyes burned with dark fire.  Her black jacket was unzipped to reveal a black vest top with a bright red, orange and yellow flame pattern around the bottom of it, and her black jeans were worn loose enough to reveal a small tattoo on the left side of her flat tummy.  When Arizan looked closer at the tattoo, she knew this girl wasn't one of the good guys.


"Allow me to introduce myself" the girl said, smiling evilly, "My name's Ethne Celosia, otherwise known as the Fire Flame.  Let's just cut to the chase here, shall we? You lot are going to stand back while I take the witch-cat charm off your dear little friend Miss Katteken here."  "Then," Ethne added mock sweetly, her smile turning cold and cruel, "you're all going to die."
