Rating: T

Synopsis: I'd never put much stock in the family legends. Perhaps I should have. But stories of being randomly plucked from everyday life and thrown into a world unlike our own? Being thrown into wild adventures caused by a distant ancestor saving time? It sounds ridiculous! But, sometimes, the most ridiculous stories bare some truth.

The holidays are hard.
Not that I hate them, mind; I'm, for the most part, neutral. However, there are way too many people in the house during the holidays for my liking. So, now that we're done opening gifts, I plan on taking one of my new books and curling up on my bed for the rest of the day.
I groaned and stretched out on my bed, propping myself up with a pillow. Popping the book open, I began to read.
"In the land of Ingary, where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of three. Everyone knows you are the one..."
"!"
I jerked awake, cringing at a stiff pain in my shoulders and neck. '-the hell?' Simultaneously I wiped away dried drool, and rolled my shoulders, cringing at the loud crunching sounds from my muscles.
What had woken me? I sat up the rest of the way, reclining back on my hands. My book had fallen off the bed, so I picked it up and used a torn piece of paper to mark my page before shelving it. There was no sign of the voice that had torn me from my impromptu nap – if I could call it a voice. It was neither male, nor female, just a voiceless whisper in the back of my mind.
"Huh, it must have just been a dream. Sure seemed real though." The clock read 14:20, so I hadn't been asleep for very long. Now I was wide awake.
'-inally! I finally found you!' The words from my dreams floated through my mind once more, and I couldn't help but wonder who had been looking for me, and for how long. Must have been just a weird dream, which is odd enough; usually my dreams feature zombies, or fires, or floating and being unable to get down. This was new.
My breath caught as I jerked, looking around for whoever was creating the odd sensation. It didn't hurt, it just felt... weird, like my brain was being tugged on. "What the-!"
"I came here just to find you, you know?"
There it was again! That voice...! "Who's there?!" 'Have I finally gone mental?'
"Please come... and lend us your strength!"
Although I'd been wide awake only moments before, exhaustion gripped at me. I fought to keep my eyes open, and failed, slumping to the bed. "Nan...ungh..." I tried to yell out -there is no way in any of the nine circles of hell that this is normal- but my jaw felt like lead.
I was out before I hit the pillow.
"I'm afraid when something is truly Lost, one can NEVER get it back again."
