His eyes opened up, and he groaned. His body lay on the grass of a beautiful meadow, filled with flowers of great color and trees tall and strong. The sky was blue with white, puffy clouds flying slowly across the sky. The wind was slow and peaceful making the leaves shudder. He sat up and looked around, then a loud gasp escaped his mouth. He had no idea where he was. He was all alone in a meadow. He rubbed his head trying to remember what happened before this, but any trace of knowing how he got there was gone.
He stood up and started walking towards the nearest tree. He hid behind it in case someone was spying on him, and then he looked at his wrist. His eyes opened wide and he shook his wrist madly, then looked again, but nothing was there. He punched the tree angrily and slumped down wanting to cry, not knowing what to do. He knew his friends were in trouble but had no way to contact or help them.
He could only think of one thing to do. He stood up, and started walking to see if he could find a way out.
"He's still not there, that's impossible." Adriane eyes started to blur up, and then her eyes gave up on straining the tears and they poured down her cheek. "Wow, I haven't seen you like that since-uh" Emily jabbed Kara's stomach with her elbow. "We'll go now, and we'll find everyone."
"Kara, can you open a portal?"
"Sure why not, there's nothing else better to do." Kara waved her jewel in front of the mirror and blazing magic zapped the mirror and opened a portal. "Ozzie, we're gonna leave you behind with Dreamer, if anything happens contact us." Emily hugged her friend and went to Kara's side. "One, two, three!" Kara jumped in the portal holding hands with Emily, Emily dragged by Kara's arm jumped in next, holding on to Adriane's hand. Adriane quickly wiped a tear from her cheek and was pulled in the portal. Lyra was the last to jump. The portal closed in behind them, leaving an empty room with Ozzie waving his furry paw goodbye.
"ZACH!" Adriane yelled in the forest, but no answer came. "Adriane if we couldn't find him this morning why try here? Why not go see Lorren?" Kara leaned against a tree and fidgeted with a low branch. "Kara we might find some evidence, also Drake might know something."
"Drake? Are you here?" nothing. Holding her jewel, she blared as loud as she could. "DRAKE!"
"Momma"
He had been walking for hours, and he was starting to give up. Until he banged into an invisible wall. He fell down and got up quickly, his hopes flying that he would find his friends. He lifted up his wrist but quickly remembered his jewel was gone. He punched the wall but it felt like stone. His hand was quickly red and sore and he shook it trying to get the pain away. Blood oozed slowly down his hand and he wiped it with a leaf. He sat against the invisible wall, and all was quiet. Then he heard a scream, and knew who it was from. He held his breath and listened and knew his friends were either in trouble, or looking for him. He wondered if he would stay here forever, or would one day find his way out only to find everything different then when he left it.
