Dot and Misty - snippet from Gargoyle Hunt for #WeWriWa #UF

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors . Meet writers in various genres and read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories.
This week, I’ll continue the scene from Gargoyle Hunt, Book 3 in my Secret Supers series. Gargoyle Hunt is set in England and has scenes in some of my favorite places.
BlurbDanger is the last thing on Estelle’s mind when she visits the University of Oxenford for a summer course. But, mysterious thefts from the archives and shadowy figures on the ancient walls propel her into action. With Toby five thousand miles away, Estelle and her winged horse must hunt for the culprits alone. Soon they are embroiled in a mixed bag of aliens and ancient magic. Toby’s unexpected arrival throws her into turmoil and spurs events into a climax. Under pressure from his family to succeed, Toby is trapped in a web of deceit. The two supers have less than two weeks to catch the crooks and salvage his reputation. 
Setting for snippet: Estelle (aka Super Starrella) is visiting West Kennet Long Barrow near Avebury stone circle as part of her summer abroad at Oxenford University. The mound and chambered tomb of the Long Barrow are popular with new age visitors. Estelle’s winged horse, Rockette, is with her in her pigeon disguise. Italics indicate their telepathic communications. When Estelle climbs on top of the mound, she sees two middle aged women with four small dogs. Note: Farleons are aliens with superpowers who live in secret among us.

If the mare could hear the dogs, Estelle guessed they must be Farleon animals. She sat on the grass and the dogs lay down and licked her bare legs, “Thanks, I’m visiting Oxenford for a summer course.” Nudging her companion with an elbow, the plump woman said, “I’m Misty Tibbit and my partner is Dot Farthingale.” “Estelle Wright; I’m from Atalanta in the United States.” The pigeon waddled closer. “And who is the bird that isn’t?” Dot asked in her astute fashion. “Are you British Farleons?” Estelle breathed. Misty nodded, “I am on my father’s side. Dot is something else.” The dark haired woman blinked and stared across the fields into the distance.
