Carranee and the masked wizard Chapters 3

Chapter 3-

After they signed the paper they all went in the living room. "Today we will go to the store," Her mom said.

"To get school supplies?" Carranee asked.

"Yes," her mom replied. "but this is a special kind of school," her mom added.

"It's just for wizards and witches," her dad added.

"Where is this store?" Carranee asked as she got in their old Mustang.

"you will find out soon enough," her mom replied.

While they were driving they played one of carranee's all time favorite games. It was a game where you said something then the other person had to say the first thing that came into their mind.

"Are we there yet?" Carranee said persistently.

" No, why don't you take a nap carranee?" her parents answered.

No carranee would not and could not sleep. There were to many things to see. "where are we?" Carranee asked. " Were at almost here," Carranee's parents said.

"That was a stupid answer!" Carranee replied.

"Well, you ask a stupid question you get a stupid answer," her dad replied.

"Carranee, Sweatie were here!" her mom said shaking carranee as if to wake her up.

"What!" She said grumpily.

"Were here," her mom said again.

They didn't need to say more. She jumped up from her nap and bumped her head as she went to exit the car.

"Ow!" She said rubbing her head.

Ignoring the pain Carranee bounced out of the car. “Where is this store?” Carranee asked.

“Come on,” Her dad replied not answering her question. They came to an empty lot. Except to Carranee’s surprise it wasn’t empty. In the middle of the lot there was a mirror.  The mirror was the shiniest mirror she had ever seen. It was so bright she was almost blinded by its beauty. It had red velvet bordering it and sparking diamonds on the red velvet. It was really a dazzling sight!

Then almost startling Carranee it said, “Put your hand on me,” in a robotic kind of voice.

“Go ahead and put your hand on it Carranee,” her mom said sweetly. She did as she was told.

“I grant you to pass,” the mirror said.

The next thing Carranee knew there were swirls of blue smoke and the strangest animals she had ever seen. The only one she could recognize was what looked to be a dragon. Then there was something very peculiar. The dream she had just the night before was playing right before her eyes. It couldn’t have happened in real life. Could it?

Suddenly Carranee was dumped out of the blue smoke and landed on a slide. She slid down it and then fell onto a giant trampoline which thrust her upwards so that it felt like she was flying. Then another slide appeared but to her surprise it wasn’t a slide. It was a dog’s tail! The dog she assumed was probably enormous since its tail was huge.

After sliding off of the dog’s tail she realized that she was in the Talonclaw store for only wizards and witches. The funny thing was that it didn’t look like a store because the ceiling looked like the sky. Really it looked more like a shopping center that you found at home than a store. Then she saw something amazing. The stepping stones she had landed on changed color! From blue to maroon, yellow to orange, and from light purple to powder blue. “

“Ahhh,” her mom sighed startling Carranee.

“It hasn’t changed a bit,” her dad finished. “So Carranee would you fancy a tour?” her dad asked.

“Yes that would be delightful,” she said politely.

“Ok to your right is Cacishka’s robe shop, and there to your left is the pet shop, and to your right again there is Mishery’s wand shop, and next to the pet shop is the Cauldron shop, and there over by the wand shop is the Coffee parlor,” Her dad said taking a big breath.

“All the other shops are either candy shops, potion shops, oh yeah and the book store is right at the end of the street by the hotel,” her mom added.

“Ah ha!” her mom exclaimed.

“What?” Carranee asked.

“I found the supply list!” she replied waiving the supply list joyfully in the air.

“What do we have to get?” Carranee questioned.

“Here you read it,” Her mom answered giving her the papers.

Carranee pulled out the supply list and the letter that went with it and read:

Carranee then found that supply list neatly tucked away in the envelope along with the golden ticket for the plane ride. She grabbed the supply list and began reading it. It read:

“ man!” Carranee exclaimed. “We have to get a bunch of stuff.” She said looking at the list in disbelief. “What are we going to use Dragon’s blood for?” She asked.

“I don’t know they probably have changed a lot,” her mom said in reply.

“what is never ending paper?” Carranee asked as though her parents knew everything there was too know on the supply list.

“It’s paper that you can write on forever and just gets longer and longer as you write. It is really quite fascinating once you see it,” said a boy that was now looking straight at her.

The boy that was looking at her had black hair that was longer and was about to his shoulders. His bangs were cut in a style where they got shorter on one side and grew longer on the other. He was slightly taller that Carranee was and he was just as skinny as he was tall. His eyes were the softest touch of blue you could ever witness in your life. they were like a powder blue almost.

“ Oh, I see. Thank you very much, my name is Carranee,” she replied holding out her hand. “Um your very welcome,” he said as if caught of guard by her politeness. “my name is Blakeston,” He replied as he shook her hand. “ but some people call me Blake so if you want to call me that instead it doesn’t matter to me,” he exclaimed as he turned a light shade of red.1
