Chapter 10
John woke up to sunlight streaming in his bedroom window. He looked around the room. It seemed slightly familiar. He was sleeping on a large old four poster bed. There was an old matching dresser with a mirror and a wardrobe. The room had a musty smell. John could tell that, before him, it hadn’t been slept in for a long time. The bedspread and sheets were both a blue color, as were the curtains. It was a very large room with very high ceilings. John found it a little intimidating. It wasn’t at all like his cozy little room at home.
After taking stock of the room, he remembered he was finally safe and sound at Grandma’s house. He wondered if all the fantastic things of last night had really happened. With that thought he jumped out of bed and headed down to the kitchen. He could talk about everything that happened last night while having breakfast with everyone.
As John reached the kitchen his sister and grandmother were already eating breakfast. John was disappointed not to find Matthew, Helga or any other mystics in the kitchen.
“Good morning sleepy head!” Mary greeted him. Annie laughed.
John took a seat at the table while his grandmother got up and went to the stove. She pulled a plate of pancakes out of the oven where she had been keeping them warm. She heaped a large pile of them onto a plate with lots of butter and handed it to John. John licked his lips. Grandma made the best pancakes.
Annie handed him the syrup. She watched her brother pour on the syrup until it looked like his pancakes were floating in it. Annie had already finished her pancakes. She had been trying all morning to get Grandma to tell her when they were going back to see the High Coterie but, she wouldn’t discuss it until breakfast was over. Unfortunately, Annie knew breakfast wouldn’t be over until everyone had eaten, including her sleepy head brother.
“We have some important errands to run today.” Mary told the children as she sat back down at the table passing a glass of orange juice to John. John and Annie both looked at her eagerly waiting for her to go into more detail. She did not, however, say anything more. She just sat back quietly looking over her grandchildren’s faces. After a bit, she began to badger John about finishing his breakfast.
John suddenly realized his tummy was growling at him and he eagerly began stuffing his face. He thought that his grandmother might be waiting for him to finish his breakfast before discussing their errands. Why did adults always have to do things like that? They always made you wait to do the stuff you wanted to do. John really did hate waiting.
It didn’t take John long to clean his plate. He shoved the last large bite of pancake in his mouth causing his face to resemble a chipmunk. John began to talk. His mouth being full all he
