Sorry for my terrible drawing skills.
When my head started to feel less like a fuzzy sweater that had just been thrown into a tornado and more like the glob of jelly it is (A glob of jelly in a blender at max speed, which just so happens to be 100), I slowly opened my eyes, squinting in the bright light. After making a few attempts to open my eyes completely, I gave up as to not feel as if two giant glowing needles were being poked into my eyes. Instead I wondered about how I had come here and why I wasn't being disgusted in a giant piece of calamari. Now that might sound as if I was angry over the whole, 'Your alive and haven't died at the hands (More like fins) of a fish!' thing, but I was more than happy. Just confused. It made absolutely no sense why I was alive. Or maybe I was dead, and this was some warped version of the afterlife where all you did was lie around and get stabbed with giant needles when you opened your eyes.
But soon it became clear that this was no afterlife and I was very much alive, and the bearer of this message was my sister, who killed whatever life I had left in me with a bear hug.
"You're an idiot, you know that don't you," my sister say endearingly. I chuckled like a dead man (Which I kinda was).
"Yeah, I know." She smiled at me for a second before it was gone and she was lecturing me. "You're starting to sound a lot like Jace, you know that? Also you've done everything you just told was 'something only an idiot would do'." She rolled her eyes.
"It's probably because Jace has more common sense than the two of us combined. He's fine, he just got a minor concussion." She added, answering before I could ask the question. "He's the one who brought who here you know. He also told mom everything, which means you're grounded for life," she finished with a smirk. I gritted my teeth and wondered about the best ways to commit murder and get away with it-sometimes I hated my sister. (For those of you wondering, I don't actually kill my sister. I know for a fact that I annoy her about as much as she annoys me, so we're equal.) Almost like we had summoned him, Jace appeared at the doorway. (I was at the medical center, where I learned that I was in critical condition and had passed out for 3 days before regaining consciousness.)
"How are you feeling?' he asked me.
"Like a bee. But like a bee that just stung someone and is now about to die." Unfortunately, I didn't get to see his reaction, which would probably be somewhere along the lines of rolling his eyes (People seemed to roll their eyes around me a lot) and making a sarcastic comment, because a nurse glided in and told me I had a visitor. Briar (my sister) looked surprised.
"The doctor said that only family members," She glanced at Jace, who was now sitting beside me on the cot, "and close friends could come in." The nurse shrugged.
"I don't know. Only that she said that it was extremely important." At that moment, Sage walked in. Sage was a tall woman with strong muscles from working her fields. It's safe to say that the room as suddenly very congested as soon as she barged in. She looked directly at me and said, "I have something to say to you."
As I sipped the cocoa to she brought for me (The one good thing about her being here), she explained to me something about a curse and how something bad going to happen to me because of the cut on my leg. You know, the usual movie drama. At first she had tried to make Briar and Jace go out of the room, but soon she realized that they weren't going anywhere.
She frowned, "Are you even listening to me?"
"Mmm?" I said smartly. I cleared my throat and tried again, "What?" She looked at me as if I was a short a few brain cells.
"I just said that the only way to get rid of the curse is to go on a quest, why aren't you more worried?"
Jace rolled his eyes. "Probably because of the statistics for kids going on quests is really high."
"67.54%," I said absentmindedly.
"You know sometimes I wonder why people consider you the smart one but then sometime like this happens," Briar said with a grin. Sage looked thoroughly over with us.
"Hmph. Well if you don't want my help I guess I'll myself out," she said coldly and strode out. I cranked my neck making sure that she was really gone before looking at Briar and Jace.
"So?" I asked.
"Well, I think I memorized most of what she said." Jace replied.
"Then it's official." Briar smirked (She did that a lot, and if I was being honest so did I).
"We're going on a quest." I finished for her with a smirk of my own. (What did I say?)
I didn't edit this since I turned in my piece, so if you notice any mistakes, this is what I fucking turned in. Like I was reading the narrative I wrote last year and it had so many mistakes that I felt like committing toasticide (I think that's how you spell it. (Yes it is a thing.) ). Anyway, I love y'all, have a fabulous day.
