Can you believe it? 'Grounded' existed in the dictionary of these magic-infested beings.
The first day, I had thought to sit it out, that maybe my parents would change their mind about the punishment, seeing how helpful I was around the house, even going as far as helping Peter in his farm.
But the second day, I knew I was actually grounded till the Queen's party.
Do they expect me to remain in my room like a prisoner? I wasn't even allowed to attend my training with the Queen.
And the royal woman didn't dare debate against me, because doing so might try the reins holding her. She was still on probation in the eyes of her people.
So I spent my day reading anything I can lay my hand on, and practicing spells with Diana.
My little sister was the only one enamored by my adventure that night. I had told her about it all, including my second encounter with the strange witch, and with the beasts.
