Castle III: |
|
Something moved in the corner of his eye and he went down to inspect it.
Lined up, in a row, at the top of one of the taller buildings in the block
were four stone statues. All were of girls, who didn't look a lot older
than Miles. They were very beautiful. One of the statues moved ever so
slightly to the left and winked at him. This gave him quite a shock. 'I've been waiting up here for ages,' she positively simpered. Miles took out The Bottle and gave a quick sip. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed four pairs of eyes light up at the sight of The Bottle. It reminded him oddly of kittens looking at a bowl of cream. 'Come over here,' said the youngest and prettiest, patting a spot beside her on the ledge, 'and be seaten.' 'Seaten?' said Miles, very much looking forward to sitting down next to her, but still not moving, 'that's a funny way of putting it.' 'Seaten?' Her voice changed subtly in tone. 'Oh no! We meant EATEN!' and with that she sprang forward. Her whole face seemed to grow larger, her eyes turned from blue to an unnatural dark green, as four long sharp teeth appeared under her black gums. 'MILES!' they all hissed at once and lunged forward, their hideous claws grabbing for his face. 'YOU ARE OURS!' |
