Magic N Mayhem [] Chapter 11

Instructions

I yelped as my alarm clock woke me from my sleep. I sighed and looked at the time, it was Sunday 7:30am, the day of the Autumn Ball. I got out of my bunk and stretched. Ash was still sleeping in the bunk above me, murmuring in her sleep. Anne was probably already awake. "Ash wake up," I said, shaking her while climbing on the ladder. "Wha- AHH" She yelled as she opened her eyes. Thankfully we had our own dorm rooms since she would have woken everyone up. I grabbed a purple skirt, a white shirt and my Entchanto robe and put it on, it was unusually quiet today. I heard a weird sound like pouring flour in a bowl and immediately knew that I had mail. I walked over to the small marble intricate fireplace at the corner of the room and picked up the smudged yellowing letter sitting where the fire should be. I opened it and gasped. "What is it Izzy?" Ash looked up at me while combing her hair. "How did this get here?!" * * * "So you're telling me that there's a letter from a relative of he-who-should-not-be-named that was accidentally sent to instead of the headmaster?" Anne asked. I nodded, "and the letter described how whoever sent this was going to end Entchanto for good! I think that something like this happened before but only the year threes start learning about the history of the school so I can't make sure." Ash rolled her eyes, "C'mon Izzy, it was probably just a prank from some other student, what are the chances of that actually happening!" I wanted to believe that but I wasn't sure if I was actually able to. * * * It was 5pm and everyone was getting ready for the Autumn Ball which was in an hour. I wanted to keep my hair in a braid but Ash begged for me to let her do my hair. "Fine! Fine but I'll only keep my hair down and put on that flower you want my to wear in my hair." I sighed, giving up. "Hi Izzy, hi Ash!!" Anne looked in from a corner. She was wearing that cream-coloured long sleeve Autumn dress and it matched her more than I thought it would. "Omg! Anne you look so pretty!!" Ash squealed. She smiled, "thanks Ash, you look nice as well." She was more than correct, Ash looked absolutely stunning, her silver flowing dress was made for her and her light makeup was completely flawless. "So what r u guys doing?" Anne asked, changing the topic. "Trying to get Izzy to let me do her hair! Though she's gonna untie her hair so it's a win-win for me." Ash grinned, that mischievous twinkle in her eye. I just had to hope nothing bad will happen tonight.
