What are you doing? Alecto asked in surprise, stepping back. Laughing brightly, she dragged him towards the greenhouse, the shattered glass reflecting rainbows as brilliant as a million Kodak flashcubes, glittering as they were cascaded through the breeze. See, dont be afraid of the glass, it cant hurt us, Mandy laughed, spectacularly eccentric, her eyes reflecting the fallen glass.I wasnt afraid of the glass, but this isnt a very secluded place that you just decided to vandalize, Alecto cautioned, smiling despite his words. Before Mandy could reply, she heard loud whispering in the air, behind the trees it sounded like a group of people, all whispering in unison Somebodys out there, she exclaimed nervously.Yeah, youre right, Alecto replied. Suddenly a sharp new vibrancy seemed to fill his eyes and he smiled coldly, taking the tree branch from Mandy and rapidly smashing in all of Mrs. Matthias stained glass house windows with it. Blue, green, yellow, red, turquoise, purple and an array of other colors showered through the sky noisily, sounding like wind chimes and crashing waves. Theyll go away, he told her, glancing up at the sky.Alecto, do you like me? Mandy questioned, holding out her arms like a lopsided scarecrow as the glass fell through her dark red hair.Yeah, sure, he answered.Will you be my friend, then? A real friend, not just another person who feels sorry for me? Mandy asked.Alright, Mandy Valems, Alecto agreed.
