Chapter 3: Speaking (part a: future)
"Hay Daddy." I said to my father when I walked into the door of our house, my friends trailing behind me.
"Hey Sweetie." He replied smiling at the four girls behind me." "Hi girls."
"Hi Mr. Salmalin!"(A/N: Remember this is the future Tortall so Mr. & Mrs. Salmalin aren't Numair and Diane, but my parents Numen & Dianna ^__^.) They all said in unison. My Dad let out a low chuckle, and went into the kitchen. My friends tumbled into the entry way.
"I'll be right back, you guys, I need to go talk to my Dad." I told them.
"O.k., we'll just watch some T.V." Terra said
"Shall we?" Brandy said sweeping her hand over the couch.
"I call clicker!" Ashely yelled out.
"No you don't!" The rest of them yelled. All four dived for the remote. All I did was sheke my head and went to the kitchen.
~ KITCHEN ~
Daddy, we are going to be in the Library if you need me." My Dad turned around and looked at me strangely.
"Why?" He asked raising a eye brow. "Why? Why what?" I asked like I was a perfect little angel. He knew I didn't like reading and hardly ever went into the Library.
"We need to work on a project for school, Daddy. That is why." I finally said smiling.
"O.K, but don't ruin anything."
"Alright Dad. Oh, Dad, I was wondering if you could take me to some of the old castles and temples so I can make a study of them." His eye's glittered with happiness when I said that.
"Sure, sweetie." He said patting me on the head. I went to the swinging door, stopped, and turned around to face my father. His back faced me. He stood hunched over the stove stirring noodles for the spaghetti we were having for dinner. "Dad?"
"Yes, sweetie?" He asked turning to face me.
"Thanks." I said smiling at him, then left the kitchen. There in the hall was my Mom putting keys on the hall table with one hand, and holding my little brother's hand in the other.
"Hi mom, how was work?" I asked her as I messes Cory's hair up (A/N: Cory is my little Brother.)
"Hi sweetie." She walked over to me still holding Cory's hand and kissed me on the forehead. "Hectic darling, is your Father here?"
"Kitchen" I said pointing with my thumb to the swinging door.
"Thank you, sweetie." She went off in the direction of the kitchen, Cory following.
I went into the living room and saw the most funniest sight ever. My friends were singing along with a music video. They were in a straight line rocking back and forth the beat.
"O.K. you guys lets get to work!" I yelled
"Alright" Brandy said. I took the remote and turned off the T.V. We filed down the hall and went to the Library.
~ LIBARARY ~
"Alright, Alena, where is this book you were talking about?" Terra asked in a curtly manner.
"Hold your horses Ter, I need to find it." I replied. "Aha! Here it is!" I yelled holding up the book. "See I told you." They looked at the cover of the book.
"A book of spells by: Numair Salmalin/ Black robe mage." Blythe read.
"Who's Numair and what's a Black robe mage?" Ashely asked.
"Numair was my Great, Great, Great, some odd Greats, Grandfather. And to answer your other question, I do not have the foggiest to what a Black Robe Mage is." I replied.
"OHHHHH" They all said.
"Well lets look it through" Blythe said. We opened the book and began to read.
~ 1 HOUR LATER ~
"Hey Ash, is your brother still going to the dance?" I asked
"Yeah, why?"
"Just wondering." Ash's brother was the hottest boy in school and popular. (A/N: ALL TRUE ALL TRUE, *sigh's heavily* My friend Ashely's brother Joshua is HOTT.)
"O.K." Ash said with a wry smile.
"Look at this spell!" Terra yelled pointing her finger to a spell that said, TIME TRAVEL. "Read it Alena."
"O.K." I said, I read the spell after I ws through there was a loud BOOM!!
"Hay Daddy." I said to my father when I walked into the door of our house, my friends trailing behind me.
"Hey Sweetie." He replied smiling at the four girls behind me." "Hi girls."
