Chapter 2
"Mother!" called Harmony, "Where is my sheet music? I need to pack them, and I don't know where they are!"
"There on the piano, right where you left them!" answered Nadia. "Please tell everyone to hurry up! I want to be out of here before midday! We have to be at Pirate's Swoop tomorrow morning!"
Harmony ran upstairs to the room she shared with Ana. "We need to hurry up, are you even packed?" She stared at her younger sister.
"Wh-what? Packed? Oh, yes. My bags are right there." Ana answered, pointing to 3 bags, neatly folded with her belongings.
"I don't understand how you can pack so neatly, so quickly." Harmony said in disbelief.
Ana shrugged, her father had taught her to pack quickly, just like knights' do and she had watched him plenty of times. "Where are we going this time anyway?"
Harmony was in her closet, throwing out clothes and all her things, "Pardon?" Ana repeated her question. "Oh, um, Pirate's Pit, or something like that."
"Pirate's Swoop?"
"Yea that was it."
"Really?" Ana got up excitedly, "well then I'd better help you pack, else wise, we'll be here until tomorrow." Harmony made a face, but allowed her younger sister to help.
Ana was the first on her horse and yelling for everyone to hurry up, which was a change since she was usually the last one out, and even then had to be pushed out the door. Her siblings exchanged confused looks, but obeyed her and mounted up.
"So Ana, why the hurry to leave our last home?" asked her brother, catching up to her trotting mare.
Ana put on a blank face. "I don't know what you mean, Decrescendo, I was not at all in any hurry" Ana assured him.
"Then why are you trotting Farecrest so fast?"
Ana stopped and stared at her brother, menacingly. "I am not going any faster than I usually do, brother, dear, I am not in any hurry to reach Pirate's Swoop, it's just another place. The reason I'm trotting is because Farecrest is a little jumpy today and I wouldn't want the people at Pirate's Swoop to see me as a bad rider." Ana's eyes blazed, telling Decrescendo to shut it. "Any more questions?" He shook his head and rode back to his other sister, the one who didn't have a quick temper.
Ana glared at him ride away and turned back to the road. If he finds out about Pirate's Swoop, then he'll find out that mother won't let go. He'll tease me for the rest of the trip! Ana grinned a little. No one can stop me from seeing the Lioness, not even Mother. No one can know about my plan to see her either . . . . . Ana glanced back at her mother, she was in the middle of warming up Melody's voice. Ana grinned, and turned to whisper into Farecrest's ear. "You and me will be out of this choir in no time." His ears pricked toward her, as if he wanted to hear what she was planning to do, Ana shook her head and started to whistle.
** Sorry, I think this story will have lots of short chapters. If anyone can think of a nickname for Crescendo or Decrescendo, please tell me it, I have no idea about what to put. Thanks and please Review. ~CJ~**
