The Hourglass

Saturday, Blue Bird, And The Guy-Chp. 2

Hey guys btw if you don't remember a lot from the last chapter, you should probably go back and read it so that you're up to speed. And if you do remember good job! ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up on Saturday at around 8:00, and I quickly ran downstairs.

My mother was on a run and my dad was reading the newspaper.
I quickly made myself some cereal, I didn't pay a lot of attention to what the brand was. When I was finished I went upstairs and put on a shirt that said "Love Saturdays
Hate Mondays"
Along with that I had jean shorts and some tennashoes. I know it's tennis shoes or running shoes, but with the way everyone says it these days I just call them tennashoes. I put my thick blond hair in a messy side braid. I loved my hair, it was light blond, thick, wavy, and mid-back. It looked nice next to my eyes. My eyes started out green and then faded into a light grey and then faded into a dark brown almost black.
I stepped out side and into my backyard. My backyard lead into the woods, there was no fence separating it from the woods. Sighing I collapsed into the nice green grass. I was 16 now and excited for what the world had in store for me.
I should probably tell you a few things, a) I live on planet Daek
b) magic is here
c) magic is forbidden
d) Daek is almost exactly like earth
e) not a lot of people can control magic
Ok let's start from the beginning, so a. I live on planet Daek. Magic is here, that's why the plants are so green. People used to be able to control the four elements. If you don't know what those are, your living under a rock. Few people can still control an element, and the few who can are banned from using it. There are the rare times when those people are forced to fight in a battle using their element.
Sighing I then turned my thought focus on my dream last night. Ya, that was no normal dream. I hated it when in all those books the 'innocent' (a.k.a the stupid) girl has a dream that warns her about what's coming and then she totally ignores it. It's like what the f? Do you have any common sense? When you have a creepy dream, something big is coming, not that hard. Anyway, so determined to not be that naïve girl, I believed that that dream was there for a reason. I started to wonder what the heck the dream meant, when suddenly there was a cawing noise coming from a thick tree near me. I sat up and tried to see what it was. In that very moment I cursed the magic that made these trees so thick. Suddenly a blue bird appeared. This bird was not like a normal bird for three reasons. One, it was huge! It's wingspan was almost as long as my arm-span. Two, it had no feet or legs. It seemed to sit on the section where the tail met the body. Three, it had different marks on it, that gave it a heavenly appearance.
It looked at me, then it started to hop (no idea how) towards the forest. When it reached the tree line something weird happened. Where the bird was once sitanding (sitting/standing) a fox was now standing. The fox made an movement that I somehow knew meant to follow it. It then took off running in the woods and I was quick to follow. And then before I knew it I was living out my dream.

_________¡__________

Skip the entire dream because Im lazy and I'm not rewriting the entire dream, common logic

I was about to touch the glass when I realized that he was looking at me with sadness. The look was sad that I just wanted touch the glass an let it melt away, and then jump into his arms and hold him tight till he was happy. So I reached my hand out and touched the glass. The glass melted away as I had predicted it would do. The man seemed to drop from the spot and walk out of the hourglass.
"You came back! I really need to tell you that......" He started.
But instead of listening I just kinda stared at him. Ya this probably was the wrong time to zone out, but he was just so cute! And his eyes, omg, his eyes, milk chocolate. And his hair, omg, his hair, dark chocolate. And his skin, omg, his skin, olives. What I like olives too, this world ain't all chocolate (sadly). His laugh brought me out of my day dream of our wedding. It was then that I had the urge to raise my eyebrow, sadly I can't raise one just eyebrow.
"Cate, same old Cate. Will you ever change?" He then laughed again.
Finally finding my voice after staring at him some more, "What are you talking about? My name isn't Cate."
His face fell. "Oh, well then. Thank you for freeing me. I appreciate it. If you excuse me, I need to go find my Cate." I barley suppressed the urge to scream that Im his Cate, but I did. Then a little voice in my head whimpered out a "We are his Cate." WTF. Then suddenly there was a flash of light as he used fire to push himself off the ground and away. But wait, magic it illegal, he's going to get in trouble.
I then realized just how late it was. Wow, time really does fly when your having fun. Not. My parents are going to kill me. And with that I made my journey back into the woods.
