Over a few weeks my training has gotten better. I can control my powers a lot better now. Dad is teaching me now like he was supposed to, he was busy trying to sort out some disagreement with the forest police. He's a great teacher, he laughs along with me when I break something or mess it up. Lately I have been working on getting my summoning powers up to scratch. I can now make something disappear out of dads hands and appear in mine. I gave mum a hell of a fright the other day when she was filling the cookie jar and I was in my room, when all of a sudden the cookies started to fly out of it and up the stairs to me!!! I was in big trouble for that one but it didnt matter, I had already had my fun, and more than my share of cookies.
To start from the begining of my day, would be hard. The begining is at the end of my last day (midnight just about) . I had been in bed for about hmmm.... 3 hours? When all of a sudden there was a big booooooom! out side, i got up and ran down the stairs to see what is was. Gomber was at the foot of the stairs and when he saw me coming, he yelled to get back to bed.
"Why?" was my response.
"For your own good." I ignore his warning and look out the window of the door. Holly makarel! There is the beefiest looking policeman out side that door. He also looks a little like a ... hem... tree... I look at Gomber with wide eyes. " Is, that, a, tree....?"
"NO you idiot!"
Oops.
"Its a police man."
"Then why does he look like a tree?" I ask desperately.
"Forest police! Go back to bed before you get yourself arrested." There is another big boom on the door.
"THALIA GLIFF! We demand you exit the premisise immediately.
I give a little squeak and skitter up the stairs. I hear the door swing off its hinges and fall to the ground. I jump into bed and pull the covers over my shaking body. The door to my room is thrown open and a policeman stomps in.
"GET UP!"
"Eeek!"
He rips the covers off my quivering form and throws me over his shoulder. Oww... I pinch is neck but he just grunts and ignores the pain. I try to imagine my sword in my hand, got it! I shove into his back.
"Trees are harder to get rid of than that."
So he is a tree. i pull it out and imagine the sword in my sheath, on my hip. Once its there i decide to try kicking him, and pummeling him. I try doing this all the way out of the house, into the forest and through the bushes into a place that could only be a 'police station'. Thay sit me down on a tree stump and some branches grow out of it and tie me down.
"Thalia, Thalia, Thalia. You are dangerous aren't you!"
Huh???
