Simon’s got a message to pass on to Baz, but Baz won’t listen. So Simon follows Baz into the woods, where they accidentally run into a faerie fertility rite in progress and get more involved than they wanted to….
Simon
I skipped my final class of the day so I could catch Baz coming back to the room before tea. He has a free period right now, and I know for a fact he usually takes advantage of my absence from the room to get some studying done. Or plotting. Probably plotting.
I need to talk to him. I promised his mum that I’d pass on her message. And I’ve been trying to talk to him. But he’s been avoiding me since he returned to Watford, even though I’ve done everything but shout “your mum Visited me!” across the dining hall.
My bad luck continues, though. When I reach my room, not only is it empty, but I can see Baz’s unmistakable figure from the window, making for the treeline. Probably planning to suck down Bambi’s mum.
Maybe… if I can catch up with him before he gets too much of a head start, maybe I can kill two birds with one stone.
