A/N Sorry for the really long wait! I plan to go back to my original up date schedule soon!


Thinking

"Signing"

Telepathy

As soon as we had gotten back Edaline had immediately left to who knows where and Grady came to me taking my hand and out this bracelet looking thing on. It had this really pretty ocean blue crystal in the middle of a dark gray band. I really liked it. He called it a noxus. Whatever that means. After Gredy gave me the bracelet I went inside decision that I didn't want to stay and be a part of both his and Sophie's conversion. It's too much work trying to commune with them all the time.

As I walked around the house, getting familiar with it all, I stumbled upon a room on the second floor with everything covered in dust. It looks like no one has been in here forever. Well at least not until you look at the bed. Has someone been sleeping in here? Weird. As I was looking around I spotted this mirror on the wall not really by anything. Curious, I walked over to it, wanting to know if it was a secret passageway to another dimension like in Narnia.

Sadly I didn't find anything. As I was about to turn around and leave the room, I heard this weird voice from the mirror. "Who are you? And why are you in here?" Confused, I tilted my head which allowed my heir to fall away from my face a bit and my eyes to be more visible. "Wow you have really weird eyes! Why are they different colors?" Seeing the look on the little mirror girl's face I waved and motioned to my throat and made a talking motion with my hand. All while shaking my head. Understanding what I'm meaning she nods. "So you can't talk. Huh. You really are weird, but it's fine you've been nice so far. How about this, we can communicate by asking you yes or no questions and you just nod or shake your head." After thinking that over for a second I nod and she starts asking me many different things with me nodding or shaking my head.

We ended up getting really close and talked for a while. Eventually I had to go as to not be found, but didn't leave without promising to come and visit her again.

Walking back down the stairs I find both Gredy and Edaline talking to someone who looks like Edaline's twin. They both look really pretty. Seeing them I freeze and just stare at them. Luckily they haven't seen me yet so I slowly walk back up the stairs and I'm almost at the top when my foot gets stuck and I end up falling all the way down. Deciding that I have embarrassed myself enough I stay on the floor and accept my fate. I am soon surrounded by all three adults and they are all looking at me with fright. Why I will never know. Slowly Gredy pulls me up to a sitting position. "Hey you ok?" Still dazed from falling I just look at him and nod. "You sure? That looked like it hurt." Still trying to comprehend what happened I feel someone put their hand on my forehead. Looking over I see Edaline with a look of worry and fear. Why is she looking at me like that? I again just nod and then go to stand up. However in doing so I forgot that Gredy was still holding me steady and ended up slipping again. Greedy seeing this helps me up all the way. "You saw nothing. We never speak of this." I signed and ran back up the stairs leaving three very confused adults.

Walking into my and Sophie's room I find her talking to that strawberry blond kid from earlier. I'm pretty sure they said his name was Dex. But I can't remember. Not wanting to disturb them I walked out and over to the balcony on the second floor. Just admiring all the pretty animals. I then spotted the gnomes trying to feed Verdy or as I call her Perdy. Wanting to help, I make the logical decision to jump off the balcony and go help them.

I landed it perfectly.

After a while of helping the gnomes feed the animals I get called back inside by Gredy for dinner. And as I walk past him I can see in his eyes that he's trying to figure out when I got out here and when.

Good luck. I'm like a ninja!

After another awkward meal both Soph and I go up to our room and get ready for bed. And after we get comfortable we talk about all that went on today. It involved a lot of laughter for the wig thing and scolding for jumping off the balcony. We were having fun though so I call that a win.

Soon we are both fast asleep, anxious for our first day of elvin school.
