The Half-blood Chronicles

Chaptet eight

The twenty-third came sooner then expected. The last five days were spent training, writing, crying and laughing. I was trying to pick my outfit, when piper came in and picked one out for me. It was a crisp white shirt, and black skinny jeans. I decided to wear my black combat boots with it, for spice. She was wearing something similar, except a mini skirt and heels instead of jeans and boots. 'Gurlie, we matchin'?' I joked, as she laughed. I took her hand and we skipped down to Moons office together. When we got there, the room was silent. Moon sat at the head of the table, facing me. Piper sat at my right, with Zia at my left. 'I know this was not expected' Moon sighed. 'But, i have decided to retire, and pass a kingdom down to one of you' She continued. 'There is only two people, who will have any chance, and those people are Zia, and ……Deirdre.'.
The whole room fell silent. I felt really awkward as people stared at me. Even Zia looked confused. Actually, the only one apart from Moon who wasn't questioning their life choices was Piper. She was smiling proudly at both of us. 'Alright, we have other things to sort out' Moon started to talk about a bunch of other things. I had a strange feeling that she hadn't chosen me herself, almost like someone else had. I recalled how she said 'a kingdom' like it wasn't hers. Maybe it actually wasn't, or maybe i've watched too much Harry Potter. Most probably the latter. The meeting ended quite quickly, i thought i knew that because Piper tapped me on the shoulder, turns out i had zoned out and the meeting was over two hours long. Oopsie daisy. we went up to my room to write Christmas lists. She told me about a huge party Moon and Wolf were throwing, and that the invites would be out soon. We squealed and jumped about hugging eachother excitedly. Once we finished our lists, we went shopping for presents and Winter themed clothing, along with decorations for our rooms. I even bought an elf on the shelf called Jerry Kerry. Piper got one and called it Berry Perry. Lovely names, am i right? We got matching pyjamas, and we even joined in on the rest of the palaces secret santa game. I seriously loved it here, and no way would Mitch the leech over here ruin it. 'How about we have a sleepover!' Piper asked excitedly. 'Yeah!! That'd be so fricking fun!' We laughed together. She brought me to this little winter cafe called, 'The winter coven'. We got pancakes with nutella, then we got hot chocolates. 'Girl, did you know that Christmas here last for five months!' She squealed. 'Really? Oh my gods, this is gonna be the best part of my life! Either that or a midlife crisis will come!' I laughed. 'Your fifteen though?' She looked confused, and what made things funnier was her cream mustache. 'I could die at thirty, plus you kinda have cream all over your face' i snorted at her face. She wiped it of with her sleeve. '….i have a crush' she mumbled her face reddening as she stared into her hot chocolate. 'On who?' I giggled madly. 'Caspian newlo' She blushed. I gasped. 'Rule follower, perfect clothes, perfect hair, perfect leg, and the prankster?!? Ya'll should have your own tv series' I laughed. She couldn't help but laugh with me. 'Perfect leg? What happened to my other thick stick' She fell of her seat she was laughing that hard. 'Thick stick!?' I choked on my hot chocolate. Our faces were so red that a waitress came over to see if we were okay. We explained that we had panda asthma, and that it wasn't serious. We really didn't, and i only ever heard the word 'panda asthma' from Aunt Anya. We finished our things, paid and left. We decided to call our magical animal companions to take our stuff to our rooms so we could go do other things without having to carry a load of bags around with us. After that, we went to the stables to race on our horses. She introduced me and Maziar to Victor, the snow white horse. I still call him Snow white in my head, cause to me he will forever be a Disney princess. I jumped onto Maziars back. 'Oi? Fine…..WEE!!!' Maziar set of at around five hundred miles a minute. I screamed as i clung to him like a leech. I could hear Piper sniggering at my poor attempt at riding a horse. As Vic- i mean Snow white clopped around with his head up, as if he were sticking his nose up at Maziar. Maybe Snow whites name should be Clopity instead, and Maybe Maziars can be Wee-ziar. Since he screamed 'Wee' alot. Eventually, i got Maziar under control. Snow white was trotting around like his ego really was up his butt like Maziar suggested. Today felt really long, and really fun. When we were putting the horses back in the stable. Piper called me outside. I came out only to be hit in the face with a snowball. I quickly took a grab at the ground, getting a good handfull of snow. I ran straight ahead, before turning to see where she was. I threw it and it hit her in the stomach, she doubled over which gave me a bit of time to get more snow. I was picking up more snow, when i was hit in the back of the head with one, and when i stood up it slid down my shirt. I screamed. I screamed alot. Then i started throwing my handfulls of snow at Piper, who was knocked over by the force of the snowballs. When she got up, she looked me dead in the eyes and said; 'Lets do this'. I have a feeling, that im gonna die tonight', So Mitchell, you ain't getting nothin in my will.
