The moon trickled my finger laced through its light, soft and glowing phantom, illumating the dark room. Lifting my head I listened to the sorounding sounds… nothing. With a sly a grin I pulled the blankets back, the cold hugging my body tightly. Lightly I set my feet on the floor, my feet instantly chilled as icy floor wrapped at them. The floor silent as I stood up fully, a cotton night gown reaching my ankles. If there's anything I like about this place, it's the quiet floors that never creek. Although the silence itself is almost defening. Walking to the door I i lightly put my hand on the door, twisting the handle slowly I opened the door, a light squeak Causing me to pause mid door open. Opening the door a wee bit more i squeezed through, holding the door steady as i birthed myself into the hallway. I've become more acquainted with the rooms, people, and language here. It's been a few months since the incident, ive been banned from ever seeing her again. No matter how much i missed them. The corsets were no longer unbreathable and i often had found myself wanting to wear them more. They have have a comforting sense to down the hall i opened the library door open, closing the door i flicked the light on, smiling as books made themselves apparent to me. With a wide grin i walked to the back section, magic books. They varied from simple spells all the way to complex spells that could wipe out a unsuspecting nation. I only look at the lower spells that are more health based. But ive also learned some rune magic, but it is quite difficult to use. It's nowhere as easy as my illusion magic. Which has been getting stronger. Scanning the titles, one seemed to catch my gaze A guide on magic growth: the begining nabbing the. Book i sat down the corse chaise lounge, opening the book i skimmed through the first chapter, following the basic directions i walked out of the library, turning the light off and quietly closing door i walked out. The book heavy under my growing arms. Scuttling back to my room like a mouse i quitely closed the door

. Sweat piled under my skin as i opened the window, why am i so nervous? Get over yourself. I sighed in my head as a strong breeze gusted through my window, as if urging me to run out. Staring down i looked at the lattice thats covered in prickly pink roses, Uní once saying that they were his mother's favorite. Grabbing a pink pair of flats i slipped them on and grabbed the lattice, i leaped over, using skills that i havent used in almost a year. Quickly i hooked my feet onto the lattice, prickers stabbing into the dress. Climbing down i ignored the prickers and rapped at my nightgown as it repetively got twinged at by the prickers. Quietly i jumped off the lattice, landing in cool squat, one leg further out than the other in a crouch. As if i was in battle with someone. I miss fighting. Cracking my knuckles i started to walk towards the woods, i closed my eyes and listened. The soft sound of running water swished into my head; theres a river near by. Breaking into a sprint i ran toward the sound suddenly i found myself at a river, only about 50 feet from the house. "Perfect," with a loud plop i crashed down onto the ground into a crossed legged position. Surging magic to my finger i watched as i my finger became in engulfed in flames, sweating heavily i focused to keep the magic in one place. Opening the book with my other hand i read its contents, deciding i had got the gist i closed the book and dipped my hand in the water. The fire going out with a sizzle, sitting up straight i closed my eyes, breathing steadily i focused on the magic in the air, ground, everywhere. Sensing it for it all has, with deep breath i focused on the magic, letting it course through me like the river infront of me. Well this isnt hard at all, i continued to breathe through the magic. Suddenly it got more dense as my body filtered through more of it, strained to keep focus on the magic. Sweating heavily I breathed like a bull as the magic became stronger and more pure, whipping around me like heavy logs. And when it became to much I let go, the magic bursting away from me, immediately I fell to the ground, my shaky arms reaching out to grab onto something.

"Holy shit" I breathed as I laid on the ground, my heavy with exhaustion. Grabbing around I reached for a branch, finding one, I lifted myself up and leaned against a tree. Pushing myself off the tree i walked back to the lattice, pulling at i heaved a heavy, yet quiet sigh. As quickly as i could i climbed up, my bones aching with every lift of an arm and leg. Loudly i fell into my room, freezing as the sound seemed to be louder than any bomb or explosion i have ever heard. "Shit…" I wailed as I rubbed my face, fake tears of air running down it. After a while of nothing I stood up and waddling into bed, not caring of how dirty or ripped up my nightgown is.

Hearing the door open, my eyes jerked open, whispering a easy illusion spell so she would see the dirt on me. "It's time to wake up mistress" I felt a light tap on my shoulder causing me roll over with a totally real yawn. "Yes morí?" I spoke softly as I wiped away my dreamless sleep. "Time to get up for your bath, the bath is already filled." Grinning I jumped up "bath time!" I yelled as I ran past her, her face turning to shock as my hand gripped the door turning me sideways. Making my way down the hall, I passed a few servants who quickly scuttled to get out of my way. Not like I would do anything, I don't think they know I'm just like them. Running into the bathroom I practically ripped the night Off, the oversized tub filled with water. "Yes" I grinned as I jumped in "no one to stop me now" I spoke in a mumble tone as water splashed everywhere, bubbles somehow finding their way to the ceiling. With a loud guffaw i splashed at the hot water. Leaning back I simmered into the bath like a sauting onion, "man life is good." I spoke through the water and bubbles that seem to tickle my nose.

Tuning in I listened with closed eyes as feet entered the room, peeking an eye opened I glanced at the figure. Great. "Hey Anna how's the weather up there" I giggled as some dude from the ceiling dripped onto her head. With an angry glare she bent down, her usual face cruel and calculating, "You little twit will you stop destroying the house." She seethed, her angered brought on by something other than the suds. "Man what crawled up your-" smack. She does that a lot, my face almost numb to the feeling. Rolling my eyes I looked the other way. "Don't you know it's rude to smack people" I drawled out as I studied the tiled wall, The brown marble cleaned till its color was me. Feeling a wretch on my now chest length hair I turned, curiosity peaking my pained form. "You… You ruined it," I opened my mouth but she kept on going. "It would've been us, but then you came along and ruined everything" her voice gradually getting lower as her voice started to cut out from the drop in octaves. Quickly she let go of my hair forcing me to the side, staring at her in miff I kept my eyes on her retreating form. With one last glance she reached her hand gracefully on the door frame, turning back she sent me a wicked smile that cussed a long chill to race up my back. "Your dress fitting is today, we leave at 1 and I expect you to be on your best behavior. Do you hear me?" Nodding my head quickly I let out curt "uh huh." It didn't seem to be enough, her beady, expetant eyes still staring into mine, "Yes mam" I spoke formally, a way that I didn't really care for. It's too strict, the formality of everything here, I just want to be a kid.
