About Me

Hello, I'm Jen Johnson. Well that's not my real name, but... Anyway sometimes you get what you wish for in unexpected ways. That what my friend Rae or Rachel, always tells me.

I'm a senior at Chancellor High in the dreary town of Spotsylvania, here we have battlefield galore seeing how we're connected to Fredericksburg and all. Being a senior here isn't a lot, considering how I'm smart and all. But you know being smart won't get you everywhere.

I have a sister named, Rose and my mom and dad like every other family. A dog named Bernard, well unlike most families. I also have two horses, Stolen Dream or Dream and A Greater Glory or Glory. Both are mares and I show them. I'm qualified for a major shows on the A circuit. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A knock on the door downstairs startled me out of my book. I left my book upside down on my bed and went to answer it. Upon opening it I saw Rachel and Kelsey standing outside in the pouring rain.

"Jen, we're going to the mall you want to come?" Rachel asked. Rachel has shoulder length blond hair and baby blue eyes. She's the kind of girl guys pay attention to non-stop.

"Come on, Jen. We need dresses for the dance anyway." Kelsey added.

I sighed alright and then walked upstairs. I put a bookmark in my book and then handed it to Rae standing beside me. "Lady Knight," she sighed and then placed it on my bookshelf. "Jen, too much fantasy is going to blow your brain." Kelsey shook her head and smiled at me. Kelsey loved fantasy to but didn't read a lot of Tamora Pierce.

I slipped on my shoes and then grabbed my sweatshirt. Pulling my sweat- shirt over my head I asked, "How did you all get here?"

Rae grinned and then smiled, "Charlie dropped us off." Charlie was Rae's newest boyfriend. Though knowing her he wouldn't be around long.

Grabbing my keys I headed to the garage. It wasn't that I minded driving. But Rae seriously needed a car. Opening the door to my truck I motioned, "Squeeze in." The black truck had barely enough room for the three of us, but it was more practical for horse shows.

"Okay, all ready Jen," Rachel said. Kelsey chimed in, in agreement. Getting in I opened the garage door and pulled out. Driving over through Route 3, I pulled into the mall's parking lot. Threading in and out of row, I finally found a place to park. We got out and headed into the mall.

Upon entrance we headed for Delia's, a fresh and hip store. Going into the doors, I watched Rachel and Kelsey rush over to the dresses. Sure, I loved them, but they were a little obsessed. Slipping out I walked through the mall. While I wandered, I thought, why I couldn't have a guy like Dom from the Protector of the Small series.
Wandering around, I finally ended up in front of the bookstore. Going in I sat down in a lounge chair and sighed. I hoped for happiness for the fictional Dom before picking up a catalog at my side. Opening it I looked, a tack catalog, just my luck. Glory needed a new martingale and splint boots, while Dream needed a new sweat-sheet and polos.

As I write everything in the order form. Yes, I would purchase the catalog. A hot, brown haired, blue eyed guy walked over. Smiling I looked up at him, "Hi, I'm Jen, can I help you?"

The guy smiled at me and said, "I'm Sergeant Domintan, and can you help me find my way back to Tortall."

Gasping I stood up and said, "This is America. Tortall isn't real."

Smiling he replied, "Yes, it is and I need to get back."

I fell backwards in shock, blackness pulling towards me. Someone seemed to grab me before I hit the floor, but after that I knew nothing.

Floating in blackness a figure came. "Hello, Jen. Take care of Dom. He can not return yet." And then it extended a finger and a necklace floated towards me. On a sliver chain a teardrop floated. "This will help you." The necklace fastened itself around my neck and I started to see the darkness recede. I groggily opened my eyes to see Dom above me, "Jen are you okay." I struggled to a sitting position and then grasped the necklace around my neck. It was a teardrop. It was real, he was real. What was going on here? Standing up I grabbed Dom's arm and dragged him through the mall. He protested but then followed me, "Where are we going." I smiled and then replied to my car and then to the barn." One of the perks of having my own two-stall barn was no intruders.
