Chapter 3: Anna Gets Exiled


Septimus rushed to Odale. "Odale..? Are you alright?" he asked. "Septimus, I got hitted by a... a cask, how do you think that I feels?" Odale snapped. "How cute, aren't they!" the woman said in a taunting tune. "Let Odale go, it's not her fault!" Septimus said. "Septimus, it isn't your buisniss! And well, it is sort of my fault." Odale answerd. "Listen to your dear girlfriend, boy, and you won't get hurted." the woman hissed. "I'm not his girlfriend!" Odale snapped and jumped up, even though her chest hurted. "Fetch someone, Sep." she whispered in Septimus's ear and returned to her fight. Septimus had only one person on his mind; Marcia. Marcia could say anyone to do anything, and the person, if the person cared for hers or his life, did as Marcia said.

After five minutes he had reached the apartment. "Marcia!" he gasped and stumbled into her study. "Septimus, haven't you and Odale a day off?" Marcia said while she looked at a few papers. "It's Odale..." he begun, but Marcia cut him off. "Has Odale problems again?" she asked and frowned. "Yes... yes, the Wizard Way. Woman... sais that she has murdered, they're fighting." Septimus tried to explain. "Fighting?" Marcia said. "At the Wizard Way. Please come now!" Septimus replied. "And everyone just watches? I has no idéa off what's the matter with people in these days, you just don't watches a girl being attacked by a woman, you just don't." Marcia muttered to herself while she followed Septimus.

When they arrived to the Wizard Way it was totally chaos. Everywhere there laid broken things that the two duelling had used, and a big crowd looked assigned at the duel. "Move, let me get through!" Marcia repeated over and over, and the crowd moved out of the way for Marcia. Odale had just sent away a thunder stun against the woman, but the woman ducked. "Can't you hit me? Or are you afraid to hit me?" the woman mocked and sent away a shockating powerfull thunder flash, which had hitted Odale if Marcia haden't parried it. "You can't just attack a eleven-year old!" she said. "Oh, why don't talk about your niece about attacking five-yeard olds!" the woman howled. "Do you make it better if you attacks a eleven-year old?" Marcia snapped. "No, but I makes it better if I kills the murder." the woman answerd shortly. "You're just insane!" Marcia said and protected Odale from another stone which came flying against her. "Move out of my way!" the woman shouted and added a invective which maded the crowd gasp, no one called Marcia Overstrand such a thing. "Thats it. I gives you five minutes to get out off my sight, or it will happend worse things than get exiled." Marcia hissed. The woman opend her mouth to say somethin, but realized that she only had five minutes to run away. She did one last angry cry and dissapeard. Marcia turned to Odale. "Are you alright?" she asked. "Yes, thank you. And see you later!" Odale coiled out and also she dissapeard in the crowd.

Odale smiled, now she at least had something to talk about with Linda, who she had known since she was... She thought for a while. Was she maybe six? Odale rememberd the day exactley, but she didn't remeber how old she was then. It had been summer, but it rained a lot. DomDaniel had sent her out to do top-secret stuff in the Port and she had stumbled over Linda. Linda had tried to kidnap her, but already then Odale knew very much magykal stuff. And too much darke stuff for a six or seven-years old, even too much for a normal person. Odale shuddered, she had too stop reading so much. However, Odale had defeated Linda, and they had soon became sort off friends. She laughed when she thought about what Marcia would say if she founded out what kind off persons her niece was around with.
