Kat looked up and set her eyes for the first time on Cathriss Gate. Silence enveloped the area, whispering leaves and the faint clatter of activity somewhere within the house, a quiet backdrop to her flurry of thoughts. She idly notcied the scent of trees and soil drifting apst as her mind wandered, suddenly without the distraction of panic or of an angry Livia to focus on. So…what. This was it? They’d just brought her here to dump her on the doorstep? There was a strange sense of anti-climax in that…although the girl had no idea what she had been expecting. Something horrific possibly -involving blood and screaming- yes, that seemed the sort of thing. But this…this was just eerie. Trees waved gracefully in the wind, their branches arching precariously close to the old mansion as if it’s stone walls were just another tree trunk, and its tiled roof just another great branch. A rare ray of sunshine shone down through the clouds, throwing dappled shadows across the small clearing in which they stood. And something...something hung in the air that made this place different to anywhere Kat had ever been before. An intangible electricity that hummed and crackled all around them. In Kat’s mind eye it looked like black flames, enveloping around the house and leaping out towards her- singing the ground on which she stood. Kat stood rooted to the spot. Staring up at Cathriss as though she would never tear her eyes away… her entire being wanted to just turn and sprint back into the woods. Instead she looked nervously over her shoulder- Luke was still standing a few paces back, watching with a bored expression on his face. “C’mon.” he said in a coarse voice, and once again Kat’s arm was gripped and, helplessly, she let herself be taken through the front door and into the heart of the strange darkness. |
