Magic upon Magic: Who!?


I let the words sink into the ground. Elaina might die. Chiron had requested Mr. D. to go tell Iris to keep this for longer because this was a real life and death matter. "Ooh! Goody! Another brat is going to leave this horrible place!" Mr. D. said gleefully. I look at him. He sighs and snaps his fingers and disappears in thin air, leaving a trail of vines and the smell of wine behind him. Chiron frowns at that. I snap my eyes back to Elaina. Elaina's breathing was slow and sharp, and she wasn't moving a muscle. The Apollo kid pulled things out and in of his kit, putting weird things on Elaina. Andrew and Jackson. Dumbos. I think, cursing Ancient Greek under my breath. I could rip them apart. "Iris said 'Fine.' Surprisingly." Mr. D. said, reappearing. Chiron nods as the rainbow flickers, regaining a bolder, stronger one. The colors are more vibrant. Elaina starts to stir a little, but not much. A spark of hope shoots through me. Chiron disappears, stating that he can't hold for much longer after a while. I tug Elaina's braid. She doesn't move. "Don't do that." The Apollo kid says. I let him work. I imagine my room and ask PC to come here. She scampers down. "Go to Andrew and Jackson's room. They should be flipping channels on the TV. Go through the window." I think for a moment. "Go through the window and start breaking down the place. Not too much." She chitters and scampers away. I touch my hair. Elaina's hairstyle. French braid. White blond hair. Bun. I give a very small sob. I take out the aviator glasses that I stole from Andrew. I look down to Elaina. "Will she live?" I ask timidly, toying the aviator glasses and letting the braid fall past my shoulders. "Most likely." The Apollo kid replied simply. I pace around. "Done." The Apollo kid calls back. I rush over. Elaina's face regains some color. She slowly, and zombiely, sits up. She holds her temples. "Ow." PC "calls." I slowly help Elaina up. We walk back up, using my super fast elevator. Good thing Elaina wasn't nauseated. We stop at the guys' room. I help Elaina climb through the window and hop down. Feeling better, she climbs over. PC climbs back up my shoulder. I put on the aviator glasses. Jackson and Andrew shout, Andrew muttering something and Jackson looking disgusted. "You crazy people," I say, pointing to Andrew and Jackson. "Nearly KILLED Elaina! What in Di Immortales sake were you thinking?!" I put up my hands in het he air for emphasis. They look down. I point a hot pink-fingernail-with-small-
hearts-on-them at their chest. Elaina is there, sitting on a chair, barely breathing. She clutched her rib cage and her breathing calmed. "EVIDENCE! I yell at them. "EVIDENCE! This is serious stuff here!" I open my punch and pull out the golden Greek fire dust. I shake it at their face. My icy blue eyes pierce their brown and electric blue eyes coldly. I win the staring contest. "Wait a minute." Jackson said, breaking the silence. "We didn't do this." I rewind the words again. "What?" Andrew looks at me, his hard eyes burning a hole through me. "We didn't send it." I raise him an eyebrow. Elaina moans again. I ask the wind to come and take the letter. I grab it from the window. "Hem hem." I start reading the letter. I wave it in front of their eyes. "We.. Didn't send that." Andrew mutters. "Fine. If you "didn't," then WHO did?" I asked them darkly.

    2. The movie producer said it was a good idea. But he might kind of change the script. But he said that you should complete the first two books before he starts scripting and casting... he said there is maybe yes/maybe no chance it'll happen.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
