Interlude: Guessing Games
I've just read what my big sister, May has written for the last chapter. It is almost nothing like what I told her to write. I think it's pretty good, mind. I was properly spooked by the bit with the soul escaping and the scream. But I think it's important to remind everyone that we have no idea what the sisters got up to before we met them. I am not very good at putting a story together from scratch so I gave May some very detailed notes and ideas about what I thought might have happened and asked her to put them all together and make a story out of it. I had a go and despite my best efforts I faced insurmountable difficulties. Amber suggested that this was due to my giant head having such a tiny brain rattling around inside it, but she is in fact wrong. I'm just not very good at making things up. I don't have any problem at all writing stuff about all the real things I've seen. But there's no way I would have come up with anything like that conataur getting his head knocked off If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
I have to say I think the reason May came up with all that stuff about Coronation Street was because we told her about what happened when the tram crashed through the front of the Golden Olden Times shop. I think she thinks that the demon sisters must have seen that episode last year where the tram crashes into The Kabin and got the idea from there. It's possible, I suppose, but I think it's very unlikely that Furry Lucy and Furry Lisa are into soaps. We also know that the two of them got their hands (paws?) on to the original Lodestone so they must have found where it was hidden at some point. Again, although it makes a good story I can't see how it could have been hidden in the opening titles of Coronation Street in the shape of a cat. There's been a lot of weird stuff going on but that sounds just a bit too far fetched even to me.
I know that she likes those Twilight books and films. I've only seen the first one and to be honest it was better than I thought it would be but you can see why so many girls are into it. May watches True Blood too, but it's on a bit late for me and Mum and Dad say I can't watch it even if it's been recorded. So I don't know if there's all stuff about demons tormenting people in there or what because I have never seen it. I'm not saying May is copying these things, it's just that after I read her chapter I thought there must have been somewhere that she had got her ideas from because it wasn't from me.
We knew that the sisters had managed to get hold of the original Chianti Lodestone. I had said in my notes that it had probably been hidden back in some demon dimension or other and they had had to find a way back into that world to recover it. Then they'd have to get back into our world in order to use it. There'd be a bit somewhere along the way where Lucia restores her humanoid form. We do know that whatever it was Lucia used to change back there wasn't enough of it – that bit was true. They told us that much themselves, although we never found out exactly what it was they used to do it.
There was a lot more fighting in my version. It was really cool. May said it was a bit too much like a video game and it's true I got the idea of the different worlds from Super Mario Galaxy but just the idea of it. It's not all demony and that in Mario.
I also had a portal that was defended by a huge metal conataur. It was when they defeated the conataur guardian that they became the new mistresses of the rest of the conataurs and sent them to attack us and enslave our mum and dad. There's still some debate as to exactly what the origin of the conataurs is.
Oh, and we know that Lucia and Lisa tried to get the duplicate Lodestone that we were trying to use. Dan told us that. I guess they were trying to stop us from following them, but they didn't realise that what looked like a cheap copy of the Lodestone was actually the real thing and just left it.
Anyhow, the demons managed to get hold of the Lodestone, one of them got changed from a cat into a cat-woman, they sent weird cone-headed creatures after us and they crashed a tram into a shop trying to kill us. You might be able to come up with a better way of how all that happened. But whatever actually occurred that's where we're up to now.
