Katelyn Fitzalan
When I arrive at Giles’ for the party, there are already quite a few people there, I wait in the hallway knowing it would be best if I greeted Henry as he had sounded quite nervous earlier.
Henry Mitchell
*as few minutes after you arrive you see my car pull up, i get out give the keys to the parking attendant, as i see katelyn and i smile* hello i hope you havent been waiting here to long *did some reaserch on katelyn seems shes a very good reporter, and a daughter of a very wealthy family, my nervousness because ive not spent much time in social circles for awhile*
Katelyn Fitzalan
*Smiling at Henry, I take hold of his arm and lead him inside* I haven’t long arrived myself…Giles is busy with his guests, there’s no need to introduce you to everybody, to be honest I don’t know that many of them myself *A waiter comes over carrying a tray with glasses of champagne on it, I take a glass and glance at Henry* If you’d prefer to drink something else…
Henry Mitchell
*smiles* im sure this will be ok *takes a glass from the waiter* thank you, i know a few toasts but they may not be appropriate for a formal party, so ill just toast us a memorable evening *smiles as we toast and as you sip yers i drink mine in one drink*
Katelyn Fitzalan
*I can’t help but giggle seeing Henry knock his drink straight back* You must have needed that…you might be best taking two next time…*I see the waiter giving Henry a stern look, I return an equally stern one, the waiter forces a smile* Would you care to get something to eat first, or do you want to go to the library now? *I want to see just how eager Henry is to get his hands on that book again*
Henry Mitchell
well i guess we should mingle *as i telepsthically sence giles put that book in his safe and locked the library, he hates having anyone in there he doesnt know very well, and alwways does that at parties* so how do you know giles? *as some of the guest her are quite full of themselves, one man comes over smirking introduces himself to us and in a snotty tone looks at me while eating some pastries* ill have to havve you cater my next party being your a baker, *finishes ghis drink* but id make you stay in the kitchen where servants belong, whats giles thinking inviting you with the rest of us.
Katelyn Fitzalan
*I glare at the man fiercely* Don’t you speak to Henry like that, he is my friend and Giles invited us both…I remember you, you’re an accountant for one of my father’s companies, I’m sure you wouldn’t like to lose your job, think of allthose perks you get…*the man mutters an apology under his breath and quickly moves away* Ignore him Henry, he gets a few drinks in him and thinks he’s superior to everyone. Giles is a good friend of my father’s, they grew up together, I guess he’s more family than just a friend…*whispers to Henry* to be honest, I’m not really comfortable at these parties, that is why I chose to work instead of just sitting around living a life of luxury…shall we adjourn to the library?
Henry Mitchell
*watches the man walk away tempted to make him trip or something but im sure with his attitude he will get into some form of trouble without my help* well its ok it doesnt bother me, i never was one for parties, tho my bakery does a good buisness, sometimes its just nice to make something yerself and watch others enjoy it, but my real passion is adventure, love doing my archeological work, and the bakery help me fund those adventures *as i see the wwaiter with champaine, whispers to him* i dont suppose you have any beer that chamapaine isnt very good? *the waiter smiles brings me a beer as we finish our food* id love to visit library but i bet giles locked his book up he did seem very protective of it*
Katelyn Fitzalan
*Once again I try not to giggle at Henry, I find his attitude so refreshing to most people I meet, but I have to keep my mind focussed on finding out more about him, though the alcohol seems to be doing a fairly good job of loosening his tongue* Archaeology is also a passion of mine, though I don’t actively do the work, anything to do with history fascinates me… *hesitates for a moment before continuing* I might be interested in funding one of your adventures…if you’re prepared to take me along with you…I could do with a good story to report on, it doesn’t like this one about the shapeshifting demon is going anywhere so I’ll be returning home soon…unless I find a reason to stay here longer…*I realise the champagne may be affecting me more than I realise and hope I haven’t made a complete fool of myself*
Henry Mitchell
*my ears perk up when i hear you talk about the demon shapeshifter* that story does seem interesting, i have to admit i read your work when i got back to my bakery earlier today, have there been anymore sghtings, do you think the man may have been making it up for attention? *hoping to see if she says anything more hoping she doesnt discover its me really behind the sightings, we arrive at the library find it locked* well i cant blame him i guess ida locked the library as well if i had a party *tries not to look dissapointed* perhaps we can go outside , the garden here seems very nice.
Katelyn Fitzalan
*I am somewhat relieved the library is locked, but without the book, it will be hard to work out what Henry is up to, I had wanted to watch him as he read through it, but he seems eager to talk, so I may find the answers I want anyway* There haven’t been anymore sightings that I am aware of, in fact I had planned to go out tonight to see if I could see anything for myself, but maybe another night…the witness I spoke to seemed very adamant about what he’d seen, I don’t think he was imagining it or making it up, and there are other witnesses too… *I open the door to the garden and step outside* I’ll have a word with Giles, see if I can persuade him to let you take another look at the book sometime…especially if you’re going to consider taking me on an adventure with you…*I turn and smile at Henry, shivering slightly in the cool breeze*
Henry Mitchell
owe here *covers you with my jacket* perhaps we should go back inside, i do need to use the restroom *as she points me in the right direction she waits looking into the libray, and as im in the bathroom alone, i remove my clothes tuck them away, hidding them i take demon form and dimentionally shift inside the library, sencing where the book is i rip the wall apart finding the safe and rip it open taking the book i see katelyn looking at me, then i dimentionally shift back to the basthroon shapeshift back as henry get dressed and dimentionally shift the book into the glovebox in my car, go back outside see al the commotion as alot of people saw the demon, i smile to myself knowing i have the book and a reason ton see katelyn again as im sure she will stay here now*
Katelyn Fitzalan
*wrapping Henry’s jacket around me, I wait patiently staring through the library window when out of nowhere the demon appears, I can’t believe what I’m seeing and briefly wonder if I’m hallucinating, then I hear everyone screaming, Giles is yelling at the top of his voice for everyone to calm down, and I am just stood there frozen to the spot, I look at Henry as he returns and notice his clothing his slightly askew* Did you see that…it was here…in the library, the demon *I take a deep breath* It’s curious that it appears to have wanted the book you were after don’t you think?
Henry Mitchell
*using my telepathy as a p12 i suggest that maybe it wasnt a demon, as i see giles calling the police as some of the guests are frightened and start to leave* im sorry i musta missed it what did you see?, i ran out as fast as i can when i heard the screaming, perhaps i should take you home?
Katelyn Fitzalan
*I shake my head, feeling a little dizzy and confused* I’m not sure I saw anything, I think I drank too much champagne to be honest, yes, I should be getting back to the hotel, it’s been a long day…*I give Henry his jacket back and head towards the front door, without saying anything to Giles who glances at me with a concerned look on his face, but I take no notice*
Henry Mitchell
*i open the door to my dodge viper for you, help you get in* i will make sure she gets home safly giles *as i sence his concern *relax she will be quite safe* i suggest to him with my telepathy, drive her to her hotel wich is only a few blocks from my penthouse suite, get the door for her, help her to the door where the doorman greets her* i know youll be safe here now that yer home *as i see a policeman on a motorcycle i use telepathy on him to stop* (policeman to me) move yer car or ill have it towed, right now mister. *i loo at katelyn* i gotta go you have a great night sleep, and i hope to see you soon*as i kiss her on the cheek, rushing back to my car, waving at her i get in, drive home, where i spend hours in deep meditation studying the book i get the info i need and relay it to my master darth necronist*
