Friday, Early Morning

"Wake up."

I started awake, then flailed back at the unexpected looming presence of Yaroslav.

"Gah! Don't do that!"

"My apologies." he said, looking like he really wasn't sorry at all. "But my mistress summons you."

I looked at the clock and groaned. "I still have a half hour before I need to get ready for school. why's she suddenly calling for me now?"

"I do not know. But it would be best not to keep her waiting."

Grumbling I followed him to the chicken footed hut on the roof.
