Disclaimer: I do not own Elfhome or Shadow Children. They belong to their respective owners. I created Opal, Obsidian, Sapphire, Schorl, Chrome and the plot.
Chapter 1
"Twenty," The countdown continued.
"Dad, come with us." Opal begged.
"You know I can't." He replied sadly.
"Fifteen," The timer continued.
"Chrome, come out with your hands up!" A man outside yelled.
"Girls, it is time for you to go!" He ushered Opal, Obsidian, Sapphire and Schorl towards the doorway.
"Daddy, I want to stay with you!" Sapphire pleaded, her twin, Schorl, nodded with her. "We can beat them up. Or come with us."
"Sweeties, you need to go," He whispered as there was a loud bang on the upstairs door. "You know I need to be here to make sure everything goes according to plan."
"But, you'll die." Obsidian cried.
"You two need to take care of your sisters." He said to Sapphire and Schorl. "Take their hands and go through the door."
"Ten," It continued.
"Go, go!" He pushed them towards the door. "Opal, take this letter. You need to give it to Forge. He will take care of you now."
"But, we don't know him. We know nothing about Elfhome. He is only distantly related to us. What if we come out nowhere near him?" Opal whispered.
"I have set the machine to key in to the closest genetic match. It will be fine. It is better than here. You won't have to hide anymore. Go!" There was a crash upstairs. "I love you girls!"
"Five seconds to detonation,"
"Daddy!" Schorl cried.
He shoved them through the doorway and into a different universe.
