I woke up to voices. Kel. Lalasa. The dude that had told me something about having the Gift.
I groaned and sat up. The voices were in the hallway, so I got up, grabbed my last clean clothes and went into the bathroom.
When I came out, I went into the hall. The dude said noticed me first. "Laurie," he said. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
All of us went into Kel's room. "Laurie," the man said. "My name is Numair Salamin, a mage. And, well, it seems you have a large amount of the Gift."
"Really? Dude!" I said, very much a 21st century teen. "That's so COOL!"
"Yes, however cool it may be, you need to be trained. I wish to take you as my apprentice."
I thought for a minute. "Your last apprentice was Daine, wasn't it?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Sure. Whatever."
"Good. Now the king wants to see you."
"Well," I told him confidently. "Let's get going."
Author's Note: Sorry, short, I know, and I'm sorry it took so long. Right now I have good news and bad news. Good news is, the thing that has been keeping me so busy for the last two weeks, the Theatre Progam, has its big show tonight, so that'll be done with. No more every night practices from 7-10! The bad news is I just got a part in the spring musical, The Music Man, which performs in May, and practices can go from 4-10. So don't expect a lot from me please! In the next part, we'll have Laurie teaching hand-to-hand combat to pages and squires! That'll be good, so please wait for it! Love yas!
Whatever thing: You know what? In the musical, I'm a River City kid in the Chorus. My older sister, Katy, is a River City mom! My sister's my mother! AAAAHHHHH!
