Chapter 1 The New Comer
It was terribly warm at the castle but Jenna didn't mind she threw on her coat and ran up to the immense doors of the wizard tower .On reaching there she saw a girl ,she looked very familliar and Jenna felt like she knew her all her life!
Septimus had been too busy worrying about Spit Fyre to notice Jenna peering through some bushes at a girl near the Old Way, he glanced at the wizard tower ,Marcia would be very upset if she knew where Septimus was going now but he was now a Senior Apprentice .Septimus glanced at his sleeves the long shimmering purple ribbons ,aah they made him feel so happy .
Meanwhile Jenna was snooping around the castle following the strange girl ,Jenna was sure she knew her from somewhere ,she just couldn't place it. The girl ran through long corridors, up some steps and down a corridor again .Jenna couldn't help feeling that the girl knew her way around the castle a little better than her, Jenna stopped to catch her breath. The girl was incredibly nimble and was very tall ,she looked about Jenna's age and had tanned skin ,big violet eyes and jet black shoulder length curls,there was also a purposeful air about her . Just then the girl turned around ,she stared at Jenna with wide eyes. Just as Jenna was about to intoduce herself ,the girl took off, Jenna hurried along but the girl was fast ,too fast ,Jenna had never seen anything like it .She sprinted along the halls running after the girl. Jenna realised that the girl really didn't know her way around that much for she was heading for a dead end.
On reaching the dead end the girl stopped, she turned around and stared at her ,Jenna took the orpoutunity to introduce herself .She started,"Hello I am princess Jenna ,nice to meet you" ,said Jenna in her princessy voice .The girl began to speak, Jenna couldn't help feeling excited . The girl started "My name is Kendra Underthrow ,nice to meet you" .Jenna stared ,taking in the girl's appearance ,she was truly beautiful with her big violet eyes and-"Thats it!" she cried ,"You're royalty aren't you ,you have eyes like mine." The girl looked confused ,Jenna steered away from the topic and asked where she was from .Kendra sighed ,"Im from ..." , she faltered "Im from the North well I'm a Northern Trader well my parents said that but i don't think so ,I beleive I was adopted . I came here to find my father his name is , well i can't really tell you but rumors from the north says he lives in the castle".Jenna flashed a warm smile and Kendra smiled too, Jenna couldn't help asking why Kendra didn't have the sing song accent all Northern Traders had." Well ", Kendra blushed " I ran away from my home two years ago and well ,I got used to the castle life .I've never been in here before ,only two days ago I heard about my father living here so I thought I'd sneak around and check it out" Kendra blurted.
Jenna was curious "what was his name" she asked." His name is Marcellus, Marcellus Pye " Kendra said a hint of regret in her voice. Jenna gasped .it couldn't be Marcellus. She had to get Septimus right away!
