Hi, I'm new at this so if you have a complaint please let me know;)

A maid ran in, I believe her name is Marsie. She looks after my younger siblings, Daniel, 6 and Sophie, 9. Upon turning 13, two months ago, I was deemed too old for a maid. It seemed that every week now we got a new maid to watch the little monsters. Either the last one was fired because she let Sophie and Daniel escape her watchful eyes or quit because they were just too much for her to handle. This maid had been hired for a week and a half. She looked very flustered. She was young, if I had to guess, 17, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

"Excuse me, they're gone again," she said. I felt bad for her, Sophie had said that Marsie, or Marsita, or something like that had been good to them.

I told her, "The only thing to do when they run away is to look for them." I handed her a list entitled, Hiding Spots in the Harari Mansion and on the Grounds.

"Here is a list of their past hiding places, I doubt they'll be there but it's worth a try. Good luck." I gave her a smile then firmly pushed her out the door. The maid turned.

"But that's the thing Miss, I don't believe they ran away. I think they were kidnapped."

"What evidence do you have?"

"Well, I was sitting with them, then, they suddenly vanished," she said quietly.

"What's your name?" I asked. She looked taken aback. What? Am I supposed to know the name of every woman who walks in on my piano practice?

"Maggie." I knew it began with an M!

"We'd better get Griff." Griff, short for Griffen, (purposely spelled with an E) was, well, a griffin. She has magnificent magenta wings, 20 feet each; a golden lion's tail protruding out from a maroon body ending in a sharp beak. But, despite popular opinion, she wouldn't hurt a fly. Actually, I take that back, she wouldn't hurt anything I told her not to, usually. I turned back to Maggie.

"Check and see if Slip and Slide are in the Griffenry." Slip and Slide are Sophie and Daniel's griffins. Slip, Sophie's, is black and white that is, black with white spots. Slide has a seafoamish light green neck and head and an indigo body.

"Neither is there Miss."

"Well Maggie, choose a griffin, saddle is. I'm going to change out of this," I said gesturing to a frilly purple sundress. I turned and walked out. I pondered through the sliver halls, who would want to take Sophie and Daniel. Yes, we had plenty of enemies, but to kidnap someone was a great measure, kidnapping two someones was very near impossible.

I entered my room and changed into a Stylish riding suit similar to a ladies riding outfit from the 2000's. The only difference is that you don't wear a helmet. I turned from examining myself in the mirror to the compconsul.

I logged in and sent my parents (currently on their vacation to San Diego) an e-mail asking them if I had permission to take Griff and Maggie. I told the where, when and why I wanted to go. I received a conformation to my requests, and after logging out, I walked out of my room. I went down to the Griffinry where I found utter disaster. I thought to myself, Why me???

Having fun yet??
