Short
Excerpt Mishap and Retribution:
Grasiella
kept a safe distance between herself and Missy as she followed her
through the thick jungle of the Big Island of Hawaii. Missy was
keeping something from her; she could feel it and Grasiella had to
know what it was. It was not an easy task to locate Missy or to
follow her, Missy was fast and she seemed to fly from tree to tree.
She suddenly vaulted onto the ground only to run like a gazelle
around the trees and brush. Grasiella had never needed to work so
hard at trying to stay concealed; she had experienced a close call
the first time that Missy had come crashing to the earth from her
high perch in the trees.
Earlier
in the day Missy had agreed to meet with Grasiella after receiving a
gnome who had carried the message. Grasiella had needed to swipe a
strand of hair from Missy
without her realizing what she was doing;
she had used the strand of hair for a tracking charm. It was the only
way that Grasiella was able to keep up with Missy; if not for the
charm she would have lost her miles back.
Over
the course of the last few weeks Grasiella’s skills at charms had
improved, it was a skill she had never thought to use for anything
other than her own amusement. Now she had no choice but to use her
magic as a way of discovering the secrets that everyone on the
islands seemed to be carrying around with them. Those secrets were
pivotal to her and her twin sister Tatiana’s survival.
Missy
came to a stop at the base of the Kohala Mountains her body tensed as
she stood unmoving. Grasiella used the trunk of a tree to block
herself from view and peeked out to watch carefully. It seemed as if
the air had become still and the noises of the jungle had come to a
halt as she anxiously waited to see what Missy would do next.
Missy’s
head rolled to the right, her right arm rose level with her shoulder
until it suddenly shot skyward stretching up, her palm opened filling
with the light from the sun. Ever so slowly her head rolled to the
left and she repeated the movements on the left side of her body.
Very slowly her arms began to drop until they rested at her sides and
as they dropped a piece of the mountain shifted ever so slightly to
the left. Missy kicked out with her left leg jumped into the air and
landed on her hands in a handstand position her back to the Kohala
Mountains. Her right leg bent backwards and very slowly she touched
the mountain with her foot.
Another piece of the mountain shifted aside this time it revealed an
opening in the shape of a trillion. Missy pushed against the ground
with her hands, swung back around until she was on her feet and
strode into the mountain, sealing it shut behind her.
