is this a good beginig to a book?

I sat in a cold stone hallway cross-legged against the wall suddenly I bolted upright. This just won’t do said. And besides I don’t want to be around when monsters start showing up I thought to myself. So while picturing the village in my mind I took a step forward and disappeared. I reappeared in the middle of a crowded mid-evil market place. I kept walking forward receiving glares from passing people I laughed and continued to walk along the street I did not go far however for an old woman seeing my apprentice robes and long pointy hat came rushing up to me. My grand daughter is sick with a fever please help[ her she’s all I have left. I thought “Of course another sick kid with grand parents who always seem to over react“. sigh how can I help I said bored already follow me she said as she turned and disappeared into the crowd I ran to catch up with her.
(*)
The crowd had subsided we were now walking along a lonely dirt road the land stretched out uninterrupted by tree or house all for one house which lay in the distance it was the small farm In which this weird lady and her grand daughter lived apart from the herbs they grew and the few animals they bred and sold on market day ( which was months away ). I found all of this out from weirdo whose name was Ruth who unfortunately for me and her grand daughter was a talker. She had begun to talk when we had left the crowd and was still talking now six miles away from were she had began. So desperate to get away I yelled STOP. She stopped talking looked around seeing nothing she eyed me. What is it she said a little annoyed. I just thought I said thinking quick I just thought that instead of walking the next the mile I could teleport us the rest of the way. Lazy wizards she muttered ok she said holding out her hand I grabbed it and we both disappeared when we reappeared we were outside her front door I let go of her hand and we walked in. the inside of the house had a dirt floor and one room which contained two large beds, ( one larger than the other ) also there was a fire place next to which was a stool in one of the corners there was a wardrobe.
In the smallest bed the girl lay I walked to her and checked her temperature she was burning hot but she’d be ok. with that I took my pack off and started rummaging through feeling for a bottle I always kept some on hand for there always seemed to be a sick kid that needed my help every time I came to the village . Ah there it I said pulling it and a spoon out. What’s your name? I asked her. Clara said Clara who was about six. who in the hell was here to watch her I wondered looking around. Ok Clara I said this wont taste very good but your going to have to swallow it all I said pouring some of the thick mixture into the spoon and bringing it up to her mouth. Open wide I said and I dumped it in. She swallowed it immediately. And for being such a good girl you may have one wish. What would you like? You can have any thing I added (a little treat I throw in for the little ones). she thought for a moment and beckoned me closer obviously it was a secret I dropped my head closer and she whispered in my ear: a story book. Really I asked is you’re your grandma even able to read to you. She shook her head. I thought for a moment then it came the book would have to read to her so I snapped my finger and a book appeared I picked it up it was perfect so I pulled my wand out tapped the book with it and commanded you will read aloud when open. Then I opened it to a random place and almost immediately a voice started coming out of it I handed it to her and said enjoy it. I turned to her grandmother told her that the fever should be gone by tomorrow morning she thanked I said it was ok and if she needed any thing to find me and I left.
pleas try to and read it all plz
