Kaily woke suddenly to find her self in a very comfortable bed in the middle of a lavishly furnished room. She suddenly remembered the happenings of last night and looked at her arm; there was no sign
of the scratches from her father. Confused, Kai studied the room around her. The bed was very warm and snuggly, much better than her bed. This room was even her favorite color, Red. Kai was starting
to fall asleep again when a familiar voice spoke.
"So you're awake" she opened her eyes and saw Murtagh standing in the door way with a tray of food and a jug of something.
"Not really", he smiled.
"I brought you something to eat and drink, you'll probably be hungry after what happened last night" Kai looked at him, confused.
"You used magic. Really powerful magic actually." She was shocked. No way could she use magic especially when she didn't have any, or did she? Kai got out of the bed and sat in the chair next to
Murtagh who had set out a plate for her with everything.
"I can't eat all this!" she exclaimed.
"Let me help you then" he picked up a fork and took some of the bacon and ate it.
"Hey"
"Well we don't want to waste it now, do we?" he replied sarcastically in a mocking voice.
"Oh, shut up!" she started eating from her plate quickly. Kai finished the meal in a matter of minutes surprised at how hungry she was.
"What do we do now?" she asked.
"Well, we plan our escape"
"Wha… oh yeah I forgot. Well, what can I do?"
"Stay here"
"What?"
"You can stay here and not get up to any mischief. Ok?"
"What?! I don't do Mischief!"
"I know, I know! I meant magic! Calm down!"
"I don't do magic either"
"Well I know you can" Murtagh stood up and started to walk towards a door. "Come with me"
Kaily followed him into a large dull room with no furniture and cold stone walls. Murtagh closed the door behind her. He took a small rock out of his pocket, threw it up and caught it a couple of times then
placed it in her hand. She studied the rock closely wondering why he had given her a rock no bigger then a large snail.
"Hold out your hand with the rock on your palm" Murtagh had another rock in his hand and hand done exactly what he told Kaily. Kai, feeling stupid and confused, copied him.
"You know the word in the ancient language for rise? I know you had to memorize that."
"Yes, but what does that have to do with anything, I know I can't use magic. There isn't any point in this."
"Reisa" the rock in Murtagh's hand rose and hovered about a fingers length high then dropped.
"Whatever, Reisa" Surprisingly the rock did rise, quiet fast actually and didn't stop. It kept on going till it hit the ceiling of the blank stone room then fell just as fast as it had gone up. It dropped to the
floor with a clatter. Murtagh looked at her as if he thought she was hiding something. Kai just stood there, shocked at the fact that she had magic.
"Don't say anything in the ancient language while I'm gone, don't even think it and please, stay in here" he suddenly turned out the door and left. Shocked she ran out the after him, but the lavishly
furnished room was empty.
