'This is absolutely ridiculous!' Emily thought, 'it's just a stonewall with a gap in it. What are the people so afraid of?' Emily walked through the field toward the wall. She was halfway through the field, when a shout came from behind her.
"Oi! Emily! What do you think your doing?"
Oh crap! Emily started running, trying to out run her brother, Jared. But he was 3 years older then her, and a faster runner. She had almost reached the gap, when Jared grabbed her shoulder and spun her around.
"What do you think your doing? Do you have a suicide wish or something?!" Jared was mad, really mad.
"I'm going across the Wall, Jared! And you can't stop me!"
"I'm not going to let my baby sister go into danger when she has no idea of what she's facing!" Jared shouted
"And you do? Oh Mister High and Mighty!" Emily replied, "Just because you went to the wedding, doesn't mean you're an expert on Stormhold!"
"Well I know a lot more about it then you, and you are not going across there alone!"
What! Do you want to come with me or something? Because believe me, you aren't!"
"Yes, I am. Do you honestly think you're the only person who has dreamed about crossing the Wall? I am not going with you, you're coming with me." Jared said, with a resolve in his eyes that Emily couldn't really protest.
"Wha…But… Fine." Emily muttered, "Lets just go before anyone else comes."
"Yeah." Jared agreed, and started walking toward the wall to go in first.
"Oh no you don't!" Emily teased, ducking under her brother's arm and stepping through the gap first.
"Hey! You little brat. I was going to do that." Jared said, looking surprised, then glaring playfully at his little sister.
"It doesn't feel much different then home. Are you sure we're in Stormhold Jared?" Emily asked.
"Yeah, we are. Just wait till we get to the Market town! Won't you be surprised." Jared chuckled. "Now come on, we don't want anyone in the village to come around and see us. They'd drag us home by our ears in a minute." He warned, walking toward the trees.
"Lead the way, oh fearless leader." Emily laughed, running to catch up with him. "hey Jared? Are there really two headed elephants? Do they really sell magical flowers and-"
"Shut up and walk, pipsqueak. You'll find out soon enough." Jared said, laughing at Emily's enthusiasm.
They were walking on a forest trail now. Emily chattering all the way about magical this, and magical that, and asking so many questions, that Jared had no time to answer any of them. "Your such a motor mouth Emily! Do you ever shut up?"
"Nope!" Emily cheerfully replied, and kept up asking questions and making observations.
"I swear, you have to be the single most annoying 16 year-old girl in both countries combined!" Jared said good-humouredly.
"Hey! I'll take that as a compliment! Not a lot of people can get you annoyed you know. Your too nice."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Jared asked, still laughing at his little sister.
"It means that even if the most annoying person talked to you non-stop for an hour, you'd still be just as nice as if they were the least annoying person ever."
"Well I think that's a good thing, because I live with the most annoying person ever." Jared replied, reaching out and tickling Emily. He laughed again when she squealed and pushed his hand away.
"Not funny Jared!" Emily said trying to catch her breath, "you scared the wits out of me!"
Jared just laughed again and put her neck in the crook of his arm. "Come on, the market towns not far ahead."
