Chapter Five: Heading for the Inn
"Char, Char!" I shouted excitedly as I banged on the door. Finally, it opened, and he stood there, rubbing his eyes and looking at me as if I where insane. Seeing he was in his night clothes, I realized my mistake: it was almost midnight. Oh, well. He would forgive me for disturbing his beauty sleep. This was far more important. I walked into his room and sat down on the bed, then opened the magic book.
Seeing what I was doing, Char scowled. "Cecilia, it is the middle of the night. I am not going to read you a story."
I rolled my eyes at his ignorance and kindly overlooked the insult. He hadn't read to me since I was five, why would I ask him to now?
"Char," I began calmly, though I was bubbling over with excitement. "Look at this." I shoved the book into his hands. I watched as his eyes went wide. "We found her!" He shouted gleefully after a moment.
I frowned slightly. "Sort of. We know that she is in Ayortha, and is working at an inn." In the background of the picture, there where the words Restaurant and Inn written in Ayorthian.
"No, I recognize the inn, and the other girl. I stayed there on my trip here." He told me impatiently.
He ran towards the door. Looking over his shoulder, he noticed that I wasn't following. "Come on, Celia!"
I raised an eyebrow. "Unless I am mistaken, you might want to change first."
I looked down and noticing that I was still in my nightclothes, rushed to the dresser.
"Wait for me in the stables. I will leave a note saying where we've gone. Go to the kitchens and get some food and pack some clothes in a bag." I ordered before shooing my genius sister out of the room.
After getting dressed and scribbling a quick note to the Ayorthian royals, I stuffed some clothes and a purse of money into a bag before heading to the stables. Cecilia was waiting for me, already mounted on her beautiful white mare, Dutchess. I quickly saddled Midnight, my horse, and the two of us made our way out into the night.
