Chapter 1- runaway.
Elizabeth's P.O.V
I need to get out the house for a bit. There's too much going on in there. I just need to runaway for a bit.
Mum doing magic, dad doing magic, Jay doing magic. Why? What's so good about magic. I'm not saying that I don't like magic, it's useful, but what's the big deal? It's boring.
I fly over the vast forest which supposedly separates us from everyone else. I don't get why we live so far away from other people. Dad says its to protect us. Yeah right. I mean, what do we need protecting from? These people can't be that bad, can they?
I slowly land on a big tree and pull the mushrooms out of my pocket. Jay says I should grow up and stop pretending they are alive but mum encourages me to talk to them. I know I look insane talking to mushrooms, but they talk back, I swear! Only certain people can hear them though. I'm one of the special few who can, and so is mum.
"How are you Gary?" I ask my favourite mushroom. I can tell him apart from the rest of the red mushrooms because he has an extra white spot.
"Yeah. I agree. It does look like the weathers going to be bad later. What's that? I should go home before a storm comes? But it's sunny right now! I have plenty of time." I look up at the midday sun. It glares back at me and shines intense heat onto my back.
Looking at my surroundings, I notice something flying through the air towards me. Wait, it's a person. It's dad, or is it Jay? I can't tell the difference between them. They are so alike, you can defiantly tell they're related.
I sink into the tree, hoping he won't notice me. It's probably too late. He's getting closer and closer and then suddenly...gone. He just disappeared in front of my very eyes.
Jay's P.O.V
She's done it again! Why does she always fly off? Does she want attention or does she just want to be away from everyone else? I don't know.
I fly fast above the trees which line out territory to go get her. I know she'll be hiding in one, talking to those stupid mushrooms. When is she going to grow up? To make matters worse, mum encourages her to. What is wrong with them?
A glimpse of red hair is all it takes for me to know where she is. I can see her slip into the tree more but I bet she knows I saw her. I creep closer and closer and closer.
In one swift move, I have my void ring on and teleport behind her. She tries to figure out what happened so I grab her from behind. She screams really loud and teleports. Since when did she have a void ring? I knew she had a flying one but I thought that was the only magic she used.
"Oh my days! It's just you Jay. Don't ever do that again!" Elizabeth gives me a stern look.
"Sorry sis. Come on, we're going home." I teleport behind my little sister to annoy her.
"Stop it! And I'm not going home. Not yet." I can feel a tantrum coming on but I'm not going to stop.
"Awwwwww. Was my little sister playing with her mushroom friends? Does she want to play hide and seek with them?" I torment her more and keep teleporting around her.
"Just leave me alone!" Elizabeth shouts then teleports away. I have no idea where she's gone. I need to find her before mum and dad start to worry. She can't be that far away because the void ring doesn't let you go too far.
"Elizabeth? Liz? Lizzy? Where did you go?"
Elizabeth's P.O.V
Where am I? What did I just do? Did I just teleport? I've been doing it all day, but I thought that was due to the void ring and I'm definitely out of its range. How did I do it then?
I observe my surroundings. There is a massive castle in front of me. Maybe someone in there can help me figure out what's happened. I look up at the sun to see how much time I have but I can hardly see it through the thick grey clouds gathering.
Gary was right; I should've just gone home when I had the chance.
