I Hadn't Noticed

“Ok then, pick one.” He flipped through the pages while I thought, murmering here and there about a ‘changed rule’ or ‘Now that’s different’.

“I think I’ll take a shot at…. wind,” I picked what sounded like the easiest one. “Now what?” I waited, impatiently, for him to do something.

I hadn’t noticed the eerie white shade the book took or how it floated out of Tristan’s arms. I didn’t notice the cautious look in Tristan’s eyes. I also didn’t notice the portal that was behind me.

I did notice Tristan get up and move towards me, “What are you doing?” He smiled, apolegetic, and pushed me backwards.

When I finally opened my eyes the first thing I noticed was that I was freezing. Then, that I was alone. Then, that I wasn’t in my room anymore….

“You’ve got to be KIDDING ME !!”
