Tris breathed in, why in the name of the gods was she doing this? They would all be caught and Rosethorn would hang them all in the well. Another part of her brain answered back, you promised and it will be a laugh if it works, 'which it will not' said the other part again.
"Briar do you have all the things I need?" she asked
"Yes" droned Briar "now just get on with it and stop delaying copper curls"!
"He's right" said Sandry "We need to get this over and done with"
"Ready?" asked Daja
"Ready" whispered Tris unsurely
She had got out a book from Winding Circle library called liar, liar pants on fire? It told her what she had to do and Daja picked the spell for her.
She took a deep breath and began breathing as if she were meditating in and out, in and out and again then she said the incantation and cast the leaves of lily dust into the air and with one of her faithful breezes carried it of to Niko and when he breathed in the sweet smelling fumes he could do nothing else but tell the truth if someone asked him. She felt them sucking all of her power from her this was a complicated spell and would need all of her strength. It was pulling away from her so she called up all of her reserve strength to guide it away.
Tris pulled out of her trance with a violent jump and fell onto her back on the floor.
"Tris, Tris are you ok? Are you hurt?" yelped Sandry as she dived to the floor to help her.
"You Ok Copper Curls?" asked Briar leaning over Sandry's left shoulder.
"I'm ok thanks but I am very sleepy so I think ill go to bed now" she sighed
"Good idea, you look like you need it!" Said Briar grinning
"Thanks ever so" she replied
"Do you think it worked" asked Daja as she helped Tris to walk to her room.
"I think so but it was hard I-" Something persuaded her not to go on, it was her door or to be more precise her door frame. In midst of there conversation they hadn't seen it and Trisana Chandler went out as cold as a stone.
When she came to she saw three anxious faces looking down at her
"She's waking up; get some tea quick, hurry up Briar!"
"I'm going, I'm going". One of the faces diapered and then returned carrying a cup.
"Are you ok Tris?" Asked one of the faces
"I, I think so" Tris answered "A bit bruised but I'm all right"
Briar laughed as he handed her the drink "Walked state into the door!"
I'll get him for that later she thought.
"Hey you had better get up" said Daja "Niko could be back any second"
"No" insisted Sandry "She needs rest"
"I'm alright, can you see the bruise?" She asked as she put the cup on the table.
"No it's under that mass of Copper Curls, Copper Curls" Briar grinned.
Just then there was a noise.
They all went down to se what it was. It was Niko coming in the door with a very red face.
