Day: 3. April 2010

It was Jessica’s birthday in 3 days and all she wanted for her birthday was a camera.  Just one.  One camera small enough to fit in her pocket if she needed to put it somewhere.  Jessica was just sitting on her bed one morning on her laptop writing on her blog when her mom called her down for breakfast.” Jessica, time for breakfast.” her mom called. im coming. Jessica called back to her mom. Jessica kept typing on her blog till her mom called again.”JESSICA!” called her mom again.” I SAID IM COMING!” yelled Jessica. Jessica finished typing and posted her writing on her blog and closed her laptop and slipped it into her backpack, zipped it up took it and walked out her bedroom door and down the stairs.She sat at the table and started eating the eggs and toast and drank the juice that her mom put out for her. “have you been ok latley?” her mom asked. “uh huh I’m fine mom, thanks.” said Jessica. “ok” said her mom. “so what do you want for your birthday on Friday?” asked her mom. “a camera just a camera.”said Jessica. “alright I think we can work somthing out.” said her mom.BEEP BEEP! “oh thats the bus you better go or you’ll be late.” said her mom. “ya ok by I guess.”said Jessica. She picked up her back pack and walked out the door and on to the bus . her mother watched the bus drive away.(meanwhile, on the bus) Jessica’s best friend Hannah signaled Jessica to sit with her. Jessica saw the signal and sat with Hannah. Hannah looked at Jessica’s sad face. “hay are you ok?” said Hannah “no.” said  Jessica “then whats wrong?” said Hannah “its my dad hes in the air force and I’m afraid that he will get shot down or something.” said Jessica “oh.”said Hannah “well I m sure he’ll be fine.”said Hannah. “ya.” said Jessica with tears in her eyes. “no Jess please don’t cry!”said Hannah “but Hannah  what if he never comes back!”…..             TO BE CONTINUED

Mae looked at herself in the mirror in Bliss’ room. She was wearing the oddest clothing. This was the weirdest birthday ever. It all started with her falling off a cliff and ending with a party full of rebels she didn’t know. Bliss came out of her closet with another dress and a pair of shoes that were merely soles with ribbons to tie them on. Mae scowled. Girly. Yuck. So much attention. AND it was all from people she didn’t know. Of course she did know them, she just didn’t remember them.

“Wear the dress as a skirt. We don’t have any of your clothes. That last time you were here you were eight. And I happen to be the smallest person here.”

“Okay. ”

“You have 69 seconds. Hurry up and get down there. Oh and if ‘Ji comes in here again I might do something you wouldn’t like.” Mae shivered and put on her clothes. Bliss was scary.

**********************

Mae scaled the stairs and was in the main room of the inn, it was practically empty. Music was playing although there were no instruments, nor musicians. Just the composer moving her hand in nothingness creating the music without a single word. Mae recognized some of the people. Akooji was sitting with  Bliss and Shae at one table, and A man, woman, Random, and the composer were at the other. The composer opened one eye and smiled. Mae noticed something. The girl had short cut black hair and reddish orange eyes. She had a oval face and a long thin build, it was like looking in a mirror, she must be Zo.

She smiled wider and motioned Mae over. Mae followed suit. She sat down next to her. The composer took Mae’s hands and guided them in the same motions as she was doing. The music became shaky and and unpracticed and there was even a squeak. The girls laughed the same wind chime laugh. ‘Ji cracked a smile and the man and woman looked at the girls happily. Shae and Bliss cracked up but their laughs weren’t as pure or light hearted as the identical girls. Random put his arm around Mae and hugged her. ‘Ji’s smile disappeared. Mae didn’t fight the embracement. There was something about these people that was inviting.

“Happy birthday, mon amour.”

“Thank you, mon ami.”

The man  laughed one last time and shook Random playfully. “Okay, okay. Break it up, you two. I think we should properly introduce ourselves before we start flirting.”

Mae giggled. Zo hugged her. Bliss, Shae, and ‘Ji pulled their chairs over to the table where everyone else sat.

“Amaenata, My name is Hajji. I’m your father. This is Blissatheara DiGona, she is the last living fairy and was a close friend of yours in the past. We call her Bliss most of the time. This is your twin sister Zo, She creates music with movements of her body. ” Zo clapped her hands and it sounded like a crash of simbals. Hajji continued. “The elf who has taken part in re-raising you is ShaeKai Talin. She is also a good friend of yours from the past. The boy that kept sneaking in to talk with you is Akooji Akitharis. He is another of your friends. The boy that can’t keep his hands off you and can’t speak less than two languages per sentence is Random Naro. He is a good friend of our entire family and is welcome here anytime. This woman is Eiryyka Armoin-Sori. She is my second wife, your step-mother, and elder sister of the Queen Ivy. We brought you here to celebrate your 1019th birthday!

“Wait. I thought I was thirteen.” Mae questioned.

“Shae you never told her?”

“Iotatsu was difficult. She refused.”Shae responded meakly.

“Mae the reason you lived this long is that you are half angel and you have been inhabited by the spirit of the Phoenix.”

“Which explains that fireball from this morning.” Shae finished.

The table got really quiet. Zo slammed her hand down on the table and it sounded like a bass drum. “If I have to be surrounded by music, then I don’t want it to be some classical junk! It’s a party! Let’s give a bit of Yankee to it.”

“Yankee?” asked her father.

“A rebel touch.” Bliss commented.

“Impressionante!” Random repiled.

“I’ll be right back.” Eiryyka said and darted behind the counter of the bar.

“Would you like to dance?” Akooji asked Mae.

“Of, course. But we need some music.” Mae smiled at her sister.

“She needs to dance for music to play, Mlle le, would you like to dance?”

“Si?”

“Correcta.”

The children began to dance. A fast head-banger song played. Eiryyka fumbled in the kitchen. Hajji watched his group play.

**********

Eiryyka brought out a cake. Hajji placed candles on it and motioned over Mae. Everyone gathered around around the birthday cake with unlit candles. Mae ttok a deep breath and so did Zo, although she wouldn’t have an effect other than making a short flute tweet. Mae blew onto the candles and lit them.

Mae laughed. Hajji smiled at ‘Ji, “Would you mind?”

‘Ji smiled at Mae and leaned in close and preformed the same actions as she, but he caused the candles’ fire to freeze in place. Mae’s mouth gaped. He beamed at her.

“Happy birthday, girls.” Everyone shouted. Random wrapped his arms around Mae again. ‘Ji glared at him for several moments, but soon the room was full of dancing people and conversations.

“How’d you do that?”

“You know how a Phoenix is a fire bird.”

“Yeah?”

“And your inhabited by the phoenix?”

“Uh-huh”

“I’m inhabited by an ice-bird.”

“Wait, so is Zo a songbird?”

The two cracked up. Random glared. He still was holding her, but had been pushed from the conversation.

Suddenly someone broke the door open. The three hid behind the bar.

“Where is she?” Said a voice.

“Who?” Hajji spoke.

“The girl who’s birthday it is.” It was the voice again.

“That would be me.” Zo chimed.

“I meant the Queen, not the Duchess. The smell of her flame reeks in here.”

Eiryyka tried to break in, “I think ya have the wrong inn, boy. Just a group of friends getting together on a birthday.”

“Where’s my brother?”

“The kitchen.” Said Bliss, “I’ll go get him.”

Bliss came around the bar into the kitchen and grabbed a knife.

“Go to the milita. Meet us in Arik. Here take this.” Bliss handed Mae the knife. “We can handle Akito, but not trying to protect you guys. Run! Random, stay here, we’ll need your help.”

Akooji took Mae’s hand and ran out the back door. He ran with her out of the town.

“We need to get into Evania, we can loose them in the cities.” He was talking to himself.

” ‘Ji,”

“Yeah,”

“Who’s the militia?”

“There are two, but one is just Shae and her brother. We’re going to the Wolf Meniva Militia. Come on, they could could be behind us.”

“Who?”

“The people who killed your mother.”

Hey I think I have this Journal thing down. Anyway I start the same way I did last time except not with toad hunting…Heh my life is pretty much a rollercoaster and it can break or it can stay. So…make the best of every situation even when it  can be bad. Hey guys I do not kid when I say that I was at our kitchen table and the windows were all open and I heard something. It was the two chairs we had they were creaking back and forth but no one was outside. Probably because it was around 7 o`clock. And then I heard someone on the front porch, or at least I think I did…*spooky music*
