It's a kind of magic
Part nine
Nikki
looked uncertainly at the helmet in her hands.
"You
can ride behind me." Offered Linzi.
"Or
if you want to get there in one piece." Muttered Billy. Linzi glared at
him. Witka sighed. They were riding into a serious battle. Two of her army
weren't talking to each other and another was head over heels in love with the
enemy.
"You
can ride behind me." Said Catherine. Nikki smiled and got on Catherine's
bike. Linzi revved her engine.
"Let's
go," she shouted, "To infinity and beyond." She roared off in a
cloud of dust.
"Damn
elf." Muttered Billy as he and Raven took off after Linzi. The rest of the
group caught up with them half way down the road.
Down
town, in a house not too far from where the witches and companions were heading,
Sean Waltman and Roaddogg were entertaining. Sean was desperately trying to
involve his big red tag partner in the conversation. Kane looked up.
"It's
started." He rumbled the first words he'd spoken all evening.
"What
has?" asked Sean.
"The
fight," Replied Kane, "I must go." He stood up.
"Hold
on," said Sean, "Let me get my shoes." Kane looked at him
bewildered.
"There
will be danger." He warned.
"All
the more reason to have your friends along as back up." Dogg told him.
"You
are my friends?" asked Kane in the soft tones of an uncertain child.
"Sure
man," replied Sean, "You were there for us when it counted now we're
going to be there for you." The trio headed out of the door.
"Friends."
Whispered Kane almost smiling.
The
motorbike cavalcade swept to a halt outside an unprepossessing house.
"Is
this were they are?" Whispered Nikki. Katya shook her head.
"We're
just picking Raven's sister up." She said.
"Oh."
Said Nikki feeling stupid for her melodramatic whispering. A young girl ran out
of the house and jumped onto the back of Raven's bike.
"Is
she like them?" asked Nikki.
"Sort
of," replied Katya, "She can't change at will like they can. She has
to wait for a full moon." The bikes started up again, Katya leading the way
until they arrived at an abandoned church.
"Here,"
said Katya, "This is where they are." They quickly found a way to
sneak in and Rae and Witka set up a stronghold. Rae finished the last force
spell around the room. Catherine lifted up her head.
