Ness shook her head. Azuli lay on the back of the carpet, face down, his knuckles white from holding on to the edges. ‘Down,’ Ness gasped, scraping her nails into the fibres of the rug. ‘I know what you’re trying to do and it’s not on! Down, now!’ The carpet pointed nose first and flew down, forcing Ness to lean back against Azuli. She could feel his weight pushing her off the carpet. His constant screams of terror didn’t help either. ‘If you carry on like this,’ Ness yelled at the carpet, yanking the edges cruelly, ‘then I’ll land you in a volcano and you can burn for all I care!’ The carpet levelled out, giving a surly flick every now and then. Azuli scrambled behind Ness and sat up, still gripping the edges tight. The freezing wind battered her face and tore the cap from her head. Ness tried to pull the map from her waistband. It flapped about in her hands, then blew away completely. ‘Hold on,’ Ness yelled and tugged on the carpet’s edge, forcing it to double back.
