Something edible, if you don't mind.' Then she opened the freezer, took out a Chipwich, took a big bite, put the rest back in the freezer, slammed the freezer door, grabbed the phone, and started dialing. So just make something for you, me, and Jackson. She said she'll be late, around eight thirty, so she'll pick up something on the way home from work. 'Yeah? Well, so sorry to interrupt, Miss Shakespeare, but it's your turn to make supper. 'What were you doing in there?' she grumbled. So, since I wasn't prepared for a full-scale war, which, frankly, was always an option when it came to interacting with my big sister, I re-capped my black extra-fine-point Rolling Writer, closed my regulation two-hundred-page college-lined spiral notebook, and went into the kitchen. 'Cassie! What are you, brain-dead in there? Let's go!' screeched my lovely sister Miranda. But if she did, who knew what havoc the evil Lord might wreak (wreck?)? If she missed, how could she defend her mother's throne from Lord Valdyk's men? She had no choice - she had to let Lord Valdyk go. She was a Gifted markswoman, but her training wasn't complete. Can you take that chance, Lady Catrain? Can you risk leaving your Queen virtually defenseless?'Ĭat's green eyes flashed, and her red-gold hair grew fiery with anger. And then, my dear, if you shoot, you just might miss. And, as a girl, your hand may tremble, and your breath may shake. A girl with certain magical Gifts, but a girl nonetheless. I've heard you're quite an impressive markswoman, but you are, after all, a mere girl. But what if you miss? Will you use your second arrow against me, and leave yourself with but one?' 'Ah, but you won't shoot, Lady Catrain! Your father gave you only three such arrows! Just three! He intended that you use them only to defend Queen Alynna from gravest danger! (SUCH AS?) If you waste one of them on me, how do you intend to protect your Queen?'

'This arrow is dipped in dragonfire! If I shoot, you'll die at once!'

Cat aimed a precious poisoned arrow at the evil Lord Valdyk.
