I am really, really, really sorry that I take so long to update! I know how much you guys want to read this but I am always so busy. Also, I just caught this but I first introduced one of Sara's friends as Herb, I realized that in one (maybe more) chapter I referred to him as Basil. If I do that again, just know that Basil and Herb are the same person.
Sara woke up to a loud knock on her door. She mumbled grumpily but sprang out of bed when she realized that today was the trial. Her sandy brown and blue hair was styled in a stick up fashion with knots. That style was also known as just-waking-up-from-a-long-sleep-of-tossing-and-turning.
"One sec!" Sara called. She pulled a robe over her night clothes and put her hair up in a towel. Only then did she open the door.
Her four best friends (who all just happened to be guys) were standing at her doorway. Keene was her superstitious friend. Ludwig was her friend whose goal was to become a famous warrior. Marvin was her stuck up (but in a good natured way) friend. And last but not least, there was Herb who was the peace and happy-mood maker. All in all they made an odd team. But her friends were really loyal.
"Wow, Sara, did you just get out of the shower?" Asked Marvin.
"No, I just got outta bed. But I woulda said that I was in the middle of my shower were this anyone else. So why are ya 'ere?" Sara asked sourly. She was a bad mood due to the trial.
"We heard that you are going to a trial for kidnapping a boy, an old lady, and a cat." Ludwig replied.
"BUT I DIDN'!! FREDRICK AN' MASTER FRINDATO JUS' SAW THE SCENE AN' THOUGHT THAT I TIED UP 'EM INNOCENTS! I DIDN'!" Sara exclaimed.
"Hush!" Ludwig slapped a hand over Sara's mouth. Being in contact with her sent shivers up and down Ludwig's spine. Ludwig had no idea why he was feeling this way but he pushed that thought aside.
Sara explained everything that happened in detail. She then shooed her friends away so that she could take a shower. After taking a shower Sara got dressed.
Today wasn't a day to wear breeches, today was a dress day. Sara pulled on a blue silk dress. On her feet she wore green heels. In her ears were green drops. Around her neck she wore green and blue necklace. The blue pearl had a boat and a seagull engraved on it. This was her favorite necklace.
Because she probably was going to be forced to anyway, Sara applied blue eye shadow, a little blush, black mascara, and red lip color.
Sara was just on time because just as she finished getting ready there was a knock at the door.
"Comin'!" Sara called. She scurried over to the door. She opened it to reveal three people. Well not all of them were people. Daine, some really tall guy, and the seagull Hooki were at the door. "Hooki! Hi Daine. Whose tha' guy?" Hooki flew over to Sara and perched on her shoulder.
"My name is Numair Salmalin, husband to Daine."
"Oh, hey. So what 'cha guys doin' 'ere?" Sara questioned.
"We've come here to take you to the trial and watch it." Daine replied.
"Why couldn't ya jus' say that you were visitin' me? Really, how many people 'ave 'eard of this? Oh no! Did mum and dad 'ear? Are they gonna be at the trial?" Sara asked, getting all worked up.
"Calm down, they don't know yet. They won't know unless they prove you to be guilty, now come on, hurry up." Daine said.
I hope this is longer. Please, Please, PLEASE. I really need ideas and feedback. Even if you post a review saying, "could you add BLANK character from INSERT BOOK BY TAMORA PIERCE HERE?" Or "It was really good but…" All feedback is greatly appreciated.
