The Iced Autumn

Mortality

That night I went to bed it was peaceful no nightmares interrupted my dreams. It was calming. But I woke up and I felt different somehow. I up out of bed and felt something fall to the floor not remembering that I put anything on my bed the night before I looked down and picked it up. it was a letter it read.

Dear Hannah Jesen also known as the spirit of Autumn

You have been gifted with a year of mortality you have everything you need at 501 in Lions Head Plaza St. in Vail Colorado
From, Man in the Moon

PS, don't die in this time.

I didn't understand what was going on I ran over to my mirror and my eyes widened at what I saw my hair was a normal darker brown my eyes were no longer light brown, ember, and scarlet but just plain brown. i jumped up into the air getting ready to fly but fell on my face.

No no no no no no no no no no no. I yelled while running down the hall I then crashed into the wall I was not used to running I was used to flying. I ran into Lisette's room and she was still asleep.

LISETTE, I yelled she spazzed out and fell off the bed with a thump and made Shay and Bailey wake up with a jolt.

She looked up at me in annoyance, what did y-...what happened to you, she said standing up.

I'm mortal, I exclaimed.

I don't believe that she said you must of fallen off the bed.

I didn't fall off the bed but Manny left me this I pulled out the note and she snatched it from my hands and her eyes darted back and fourth reading.

I can't believe it she said under her breath

I know i-

You get a letter and your not even his daughter, the last time I saw my dad was a year ago for 5 minutes LOVE YAH TOO DAD!

I cleared my throat to get Lisette's attention

Oh sorry this way she lead me to a room I had never seen it had different colored bottles and herbs hung from the rafters she flew up and landed on a platform and disappeared from view.

Um Lisette, I called.

Just a minute, she called.

I heard bottles clanking together and and some fall off selves.

What are the potions for I ask picking up a bottle of orange liquid and sniffing it it smelled foul and I put it back.

Her head popped up over the platform there not potions potions are in Harry Potter I do not do the same profession as Snape they are different....uh liquids made with herbs.

So it's tea.

No she said

So what is it.

I just told you liquid made from herbs.

I shrugged and she disappeared from view again.

Here it is.

What I asked as she flew down from the rafters with a box

It's my microscope, and a couple of healing drinks.

She when over and grabbed my hand she pricked it with a needle which made me yelp and dropped a sample on a glass sheet, she then did the same to her self and turned on the microscope.

WHAT WAS THAT FOR. I yelled.

Be quiet and drink this she handed me a drink and she turned her attention back to the microscope. it had floating leaves and it looked like a piece of dirt on the bottom.

What's in this, I ask.

Fish oil, green tea leaves, olive cloves, rose hips, orange leaves, blue grass, ground up wheat, and Toothless's saliva

WhAT, I shout.

It's fine just drink it.

I sniffed it but I smelled disgusting.

That's the fish oil.

What will it do.

Since when was morals so annoying, now drink.

I swallowed the drink and I gagged.

Lisette took out a note pad and started writing...well I are positively mortal she said.

How can you tell.

Immortal blood has this weird tint to it mortals don't .

So that means...

Your mortal for a year.

I hear a yell from down the hall and I run out side I see Jack well at lest I thought it was Jack she had light brown hair and brown eyes the frost pattern on his clothes were gone and he had more coloration to his face.

What happened to you, he explained.

What happened to you, I asked back.

We turned and to Lisette and she was grinning looks like your both mortals.
