Chapter Two:
"Off to Wizard Way"
The girl woke up in sweat. Merrin was laughing at her as he fell on the ground.
"You idiot! You gave me a Darke nightmare!" the girl smacked Merrin.
"How fun was it to fall off a cliff?" Merrin asked.
"I wasn't falling off a cliff. I was having a dream about Septimus Heap."
"Septimus HEAP!" Merrin growled. "The boy who ruined my life."
"Please Merrin. Everyone and everything "tries" to ruin your pathetic life."
"Don't be dumb. Simon needs you anyway." Merrin snickered.
Dressed in her gown she stood up and walked out of the room leaving Merrin in the dust.
The girl found her way through a passage way that was made of cold stone. She quickly put her thumb and index finger together and a Darke flame appeared lighting the way. When she felt metal she knew it was the stairs. She blew away the flame and she knew Simon was down there. Waiting. Waiting to say or hurt her in any way.
"Yes, Master Simon." the girl said and bowed. Lights filled the room and Simon didn't look too happy…oh, he never was too happy except Lucy Gringe that made him smile was asleep.
"Go!" Simon yelled.
"Go where?" the girl said.
"I don't want you HERE. Get!"
"Why?"
"Someone is tracking you down. And I don't want anything to do with it. Out! Or ill have to kill you." Simon hissed.
Free? "Yes, Master Simon. Thank you." She bowed once again.
She ran to her room and saw Merrin scowling her.
"You are lucky." Merrin said.
"I can't go alone in the Badlands. Are you mad? Your comin' with me." She said slipping on her dirty work shoes and a long purple dress that went to her ankles. She had put on her back cloak that only showed one green eye and one purple, a piece of brown curly hair dripped out.
"Really? And what will Simon say about that?" Merrin said putting on his old workers shoes and black cloak that only revealed his two gray cloudy eyes.
"Simon won't say anything." the girl smirked. She whispered inside Merrin's ear. He smiled and went off to do his task.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minutes later, Merrin had gotten a hole sack of food and money from Lucy's room. It was easier that he thought. The girl had gotten a black horse and extra money and a piece of bread and cheese.
They both met outside of Simon's "Evil" lair.
"Good boy." The girl sat on the horse and Merrin jumped onto the black horse as well. They were off. No one could stop them now. All they had to do is get away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Merrin." Simon said walking up the metal stairs. "Merrin."
No one responded. "You stupid boy! Wake or-" Simon walked into the room to see that it was bare. The beds had nothing but straw left, the bed has been raped.
"MERRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN!" Simon yelled.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Septimus Heap woke with a start. He had the weirdest dream. He shook his head and slipped into his green apprentice robes. He saw his Flyte Charm and smiled. He grabbed the Magykal Charm and opened the window.
"Septimus!" Marcia Overstand, the Extra Ordinary Wizard walked into his room with the click of her purple Python shoes.
His morning was ruined. "Yes, Marcia." he replied.
"Put that Flyte Charm down and come to breakfast. I need to have a word with you." Marcia said.
Septimus nodded. He put the Flyte Charm down and followed Marcia to breakfast.
"What do you want to talk about?" Septimus asked.
"Dreams." Marcia said. "Darke dreams."
"Why?"
"I'll answer that later. Now, isn't a good time." Marcia said. She walked on until she tripped over a broom.
"Sorry, Madam Marcia." Catchpole said about to help her up.
"Why on EARTH would you leave a broom like that?!" Marcia growled. "Do it again, and I will make you clean up Spit Fyre's dragon house!"
