Chapter 6 Sticks and stones
After thirty minutes of geometry school was let out and I was free to leave the campus or so I thought as I walked out the main door Kelly stood their three big scratches across her face. I stopped in my tracks and turned on my heal and ran to the girls bathroom. Once I was safely in the end stall in concentrated on the cemetery and said "Eo ire itum". Again my feet left the ground, the ropes were pulling me and I thought I was going to be sick. I landed right on top of my grandmother's grave. I opened my eyes and found my bag. I opened it to find a dazed socks "that was a bumpy ride" he said. "Sorry but I didn't want to deal with her right now." I said as I sat down "You've got to stand up to her" socks said. "I know it's just that I don't want to fight with her," I said and I sat down and opened my back to read. I opened my book to the next lesson:
lesson 4 flight
Yes witches can fly on brooms like many people think, most witches fly with the dark of night. The night gives of a certain energy that allows ordinary brooms to take flight. Your broom is in the attic.
I closed my book and smiled to my self. I get to fly I thought. I jumped up and grabbed my bag. "Where are we going Mia" socks asked I stopped "Mia?" I replied "oh since you call me socks I'm going to call you Mia" said socks with a smirk I shrugged and said "I've got to go home" I said not telling him the reason.
Once I got home I noticed my mom's car wasn't in the driveway so I would be alone. Perfect I thought. I went in to the house and up the stairs and past my room on the end and looked up at the string dangling from the sealing. I jumped and pulled it down a hatch opened and stairs fell down to the floor. "Come on socks" "why are we going up there Mia" socks said you could hear a hint of fear in his voice. "You will find out," I answered. I picked him up and climbed the stairs. When I reached the attic I looked around. There were all kinds of things but one thing caught my eye a broom with wiry twigs and vines carved into the handle it was beautiful I picked it up and as soon as I touched it, it glowed a pale pink. "Oh that's why," said socks. After I received my broom I walked back down stairs and sat down on the couch, placed the broom on the café table and opened my book.
When you touched your broom for the first time it glowed pink. That means that it has accepted you as its owner. No to fly you must be out side…
So I closed my book and grabbed my broom and walked out the back door. As soon as I was out side I noticed Mr. Herald was out side. So I looked around for a hidden area the only place I could thing of was the wooded area to the rear of the yard. So I made my way across the yard and noticed that Mr. Herald had seen the broom in my hand and ran inside the house just as he had done when I first meet him. I wonder why he does that I asked socks as we enter the woods. We walked for sometime over dead trees and small streams. Soon the trees blotted out the sun and I could soon tell that night had fell. We reached a small pond that looked deep and there was a bolder that over looked it. I walked up on top of the bolder and sat laid down on my stomach and inched towards the edge and looked in to the pond and saw little fish. I sat back up and grabbed my broom, my book and clicked on a flashlight I had taken from my house. I opened the book to the page I had left of at.
First take your broom in your hand the mount it and kick of from the ground hard. It makes take some practice before you can truly fly.
I stood up and took my broom and mounted it. I looked down at socks "want to come" I asked he looked hesitant but jumped on the twigs. I kicked of the ground and felt my self-rising. We rose up a few feet and my heart soared I loved this. We rose high and higher until we were above the treetops. "This is wicked" I screamed at socks we hovered above the trees for a few minutes then I looked back at socks and smiled "no don't you do it Mia" he said fearfully. But I did it anyway I took of at full speed the cold wind rushing against my face it was just amazing I looked down everything looked like a patch work quilt, and the sky a blanket of diamonds. "We had better get back mom will be home soon" I said to socks my elation ending. So we flew back to the wooded area behind my house and landed next to the pond. I ran to go get my book and started back to the house. I opened it to finish the lesson.
There is a spell to hide your broom from prying eyes. First take it in your left and say up and it will fold up into your hand. Then when you needed it again say down and it should fold out.
So I took it in my hand and said "up" it folded into a little square piece of wood so I put in my pock right as we got to the back yard.
