Janelle waited, frozen on her knees with her eyes on the horses. She hoped that she didn't have to wait too long for something to happen. At last, she noticed some movement in her direction. Not one, but two winged horses were headed in the direction of her fruit. Very slowly, Janelle slid her hand toward her wand in anticipation of the Porlock. Once her fingers closed around the wand, she kept her hand still again. She did not want to scare the animals away.

Just as the horses reached the fruit, the Porlock appeared......seemingly out of nowhere and went straight for the apple. Smart Porlock. Janelle gave her wand a flick in the direction of the Porlock and said, "Animalis Fidelis" She hoped against hope that she'd done the spell correctly and that it had hit its target. Janelle hadn't really practiced the spell and even with practice she wasn't always on the ball with her spell work.

Missed it. "Aww man", Janelle thought". The Porlock continued to nibble on the apple as she prepared to cast the spell again. Maybe she'd have a better chance now that he was preoccupied. Again she flicked her wand toward the protector. "Animalis Fidelis". This time, luck was on Janelle's side. The spell must have hit her Porlock because he picked up the tomato and headed toward her. Janelle almost bounced with excitement. She was going to get to play now!
