Excerpt from: Comfort

Louisa looked in the mirror. The strange thing was happening again. But that wasn’t what was important. It looked like Jo was rather upset. ‘But what to do?’ She remembered what happened earlier, when Jo had tried to write on the mirror with that strange pen. She reached out, and the mirror rippled.

 

Something then happened. There was a strange pulling sensation and Louisa found herself in a room that looked like her room, but wasn’t. She then approached the crying girl.

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn

Sanderson sighed. “Anyway I called Ms. Li once I got signal. She should be here shortly.”

 

‘Great!’ Quinn thought.

 

 

Ms. Li pulled up at the hospital, noting that the bus she had leant Sanderson (and Quinn) was parked haphazardly across many parking spaces. ‘Really! She should have the presence of mind to park the bus properly!’

 

 

“Where’s Ms. Coultard?” she asked once she entered.

 

“She’s with the patient,” Olivia answered.

 

“I see. And why is the bus parked the way it is?”

 

“It  was SpiderGirl who parked it that way!” Quinn answered.

 

“What!”

 

“And she hotwired it!” Gerald said.

 

“She’s a menace, I tell you!” Li exclaimed.

 

“She isn’t. She was just trying to help. Without her, Gerald would have ran off home and I would still be walking here,” Quinn said.

 

‘Ms. Morgendorffer is hiding something I’m sure,’ Li thought.

 

 

‘Ms. Li suspects something,’ Quinn thought.

 

“Now, tell me everything that happened,” Ms. Li said.

 

The two students became talking over each other.

 

“Slow down!”

 

 

“So, let me get this straight… Gerald ran off after you called the ambulance,” Li said.

 

“Yes,” Quinn answered.

 

“Then you met SpiderGirl?”

 

Quinn nodded.
