Time Magic

chapter 3

As we get closer to the village the more I am sure I know where we are. I have seen several signs and the first building  I see is extremely  familiar  an old house built into a tree with kids  running around it. What a mess watch out for pick pockets said Athena (a cop from LAPD whos family and friends  just  recently joined  us) as she is looking around  alert. Don't worry about it no one will pick your pockets people here are good just in an unlucky circumstance I said. You have been here before said Abbey( a forensic analysts from dc's NCIS).

I don't respond because I see my least favorite  person walking around banging on doors demanding taxes spot our group. I whisper (so the vamps and werewolves in our group can here) and mind link Theria (my bonded dragon who thanks to our bond  can borrow my magic to appear human) if  I have to run meet me north deep in the woods will explain later.

I turn back around while pulling my hood tighter around my head to see the Sherrif of Nottingham  approaching  my sister saying something along the lines that he's collecting taxes and never seen most of the group before. He also mentioned that my sis looks familiar uh oh (we look similar I don't want her mistaken for me) to which my sis replied I have never been here before but I know some of my family  used to travel this way to visit  another family member. 

The sheriff  being as dimwitted as ever buys her story and was about to leave when one of his cronies who I know is a bit sharper comes up and says isn't that one of outlaws friends poiting at my sis. The sheriff  than shut it down by saying while it looks  like her but she is shorter  and looks a little different from the last time. The sharper of the cronies isn't buying it as much buy was getting ready to leave  for his rounds when the clumsy one of the cronies comes running up so fast she could. She ended up stumbling  and colliding  with me knocking  me on my ass normally I would have dodged it but I was caught off gaurd listening closely to the con the sheriff was having with the sharp cronie. Unfortunately that movement  knocked my hood  down. Once that happened  the sheriff did a double take. Next thing  I know the sheriff is saying seize her.

Here we go again I think to myself  as I get up as fast as I can. Right as I am doing this my friends look confused and some are holding back laughs I even saw some silent bets going on. As the sheriffs cronies go to grab me I dodge them and decided to take a page out of my friend aladdins book and give a fun chase though town.

I manage to dodge all the cronies give them a fun tour through  the run down town and find a small building to climb to the roof. Thats when the sheriff decided to shoot at me with their bow and arrows. Fortunately for me they are lousy marksmen  and I see the forrest within  jumping distance. I quickly jumped  to the the big tree branch that I saw  and started  tree jumping which is a sure way to loose sheriff and his cronies. After  ten minutes  I lost them and they left aggravated. Once I was sure the were gone I headed north to find my friends boy do I have alot of explaining to do. This will be alot of fun not!
