"Are you ready Connie?" Sentinel asked me.
I wasn't sure how to answer him truthfully.
I felt ready to get it over with, but not with Ivor Coddrington and Hoo, the weather giant, running threw my mind. The trustees had to see Kullervo's mark in my head. I closed my eyes and nodded to Sentinel. I went into my mind and they all came into view, except Mr. Coddrington and Hoo. " Where are they?" Kinga wondered out loud. She began pacing up and down.
"Why don't you go in and wait for him?"
I said in my mind. I made a drawbridge appear in my head and opened it up for them. They all walked across and waited. I reluctantly opened my mind out to Mr. Coddrington and Hoo. They appeared on the other side of the drawbridge . Hoo turned to mist and wrapped around Mr. Coddrington. " Where were you?" Kinga said, slightly annoyed.
" That criminal wouldn't let us connect with her!" he shouted, walking across the drawbridge towards them.
"What! Criminal!"
I shouted, forgetting they could hear me. I started pulling the drawbridge up fast with Mr. Coddrington still on it. He started running as fast as he could, but it wasn't fast enough. The drawbridge tilted up enough that he fell straight down. He landed face-first at the feet of the other Trustees. Laughing echoed around my mind. I couldn't help it. He deserved it! Criminal! Ugh! The other Trustees looked down at him with amused expressions.
He stood up and grumbled, "See what see does? She should be banded from the Society indefinitely!" I was raging mad. Fire came up from behind him and caught the back of his pants on fire. "Ow!!!" he shouted, running around like a mad person. The laughing presumed. "Connie!" Sentinel shouted. I imagined a bucket full of ice cold water. I dropped it on him and the fire on his pants went out. The fire burned a hole in the back of his pants, showing his blue and red Superman boxers. Sentinel and the other Trustees tried to keep a straight face, but failed miserably. They all burst out laughing, practically rolling on the floor with laughter. He shook himself like a pissed cat (which is what he exactly looked like) and glared at them. That only made the laughing louder. When everyone finally gained control of themselves, Eagle-child spoke up. " It's not wise to insult your host," he informed him. Sentinel said, "Let's go, we don't have time to waste." The group marched onward, still laughing every few minutes at the expression on Mr. Coddrington's face.
