Chibiyu: …By owning Katja, do I own myself?

Nick: I would hope you own yourself anyway Chib. Oh and I personally want to thank Silver for reviewing…for being the only reviewer…and I still don't forgive you for becoming Chibi's evil sidekick.

I NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL OWN JONAS CHARACTERS OR SONGS OR ANYTHING BUT THE PLOT AND MY OC'S!!!!!

()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()NICK'S POV

"No. Think me selfish to put my happiness above yours, but so be it. These last three months have been living Hell and I am finally free of it." I don't know why I swore but it seemed to flow right off of my tongue and frankly, I didn't care anymore. "Believe or not, one twilight here is enough for me to say nay to your petty pleas. Katja, come forth." I summoned and she walked forward, inclining her head with a smile and I returned both gestures. "Fare thee well Joe and Kevin, I pray you have happy days." I nodded to Katja after saying the formal farewell of Riptide and as soon as the connection ended I had but on thought:

What have I done?

KATJA'S POV-R TIME 11 PM

Brother tearing apart brothers. The messiest of war and the harshest. And our King was caught in the center while his brother Joseph chose to remain ignorant. I hope the worst will not befall before he believes. And I cannot hold it back for that long, will as I may, I cannot.

JOE'S POV- E TIME- 3:30 pm

How could I believe that my brother somehow got sucked into an alternate dimension that he just so happened to rule? All of this was baloney! I needed to get to the bottom of this and to do that, the girl was my first target. But she was gone but she would come back…they all came back…I have always wanted to think/say that! NO FOCUS! I looked to Kevin who was searching something on the internet before returning to my own thoughts. What could they want Nick for? Was it for ransom, or his talent, or did he really just leave? How did that leaf do what it did? Why was Nick talking funny? Why did he not want to leave…or did he? Was he forced to say those things? I am so confused…

Katja told me to let go of logic…wait…I had logic in the first place? Note to self; look for my logic. I always thought Nick was the logical one…huh…weird.

FOCUS! Why was I so bad at thinking of one thing for prolonger periods?!?!

NICK'S POV- R time-11:03 pm

I knew Katja was watching me as I continued surveying the darkening landscape. I should be joyous, knowing I cut off the prune of the infected tree for good, leaving it to prosper, but I did not feel at all happy…I just felt alone. Katja walked over to me, still in her girl form, I only spared her glance, not bothering for unnecessary conversation to cut the silence of my thoughts. They seemed genuinely concerned and frightened when they should not be; I saw their words, they shouldn't spare a care for me. And yet they seemed to have, unless an act it may be. Yes, that had to be it. I closed my eyes and willed my heart to stop aching but alas, it was never that simple to rid of a broken and confused heart.

But none of that mattered now; I cold forget about them if I wanted and live in peace and happiness where I was actually accepted. I didn't need Earth anymore nor did I my brothers. Yeah…I would miss them but in time their names will be but a memory. But until then I shall suffer alone…no I will absorb myself into this world and learn and become the leader these people believe me to be. I don't need heart ache or brothers or anything holding me down. I can this without them.

"My King, late it be. You face many obstacles tomorrow's sun and I believe turning in is best." Katja suggested and I nodded, understanding her perfectly though her dialect was not one I was used to but in time, I bet even I would be speaking as such. In time, I wonder if Joe and Kevin would even recognize me if I chose to show myself.

KEVIN'S POV-E TIME-7 PM-(R TIME 3 AM)

Macy came over after dinner, about three hours after we last spoke to Nick and Joe hasn't spoken since, thought lines inscribed deeply into his forehead. What a weird sight. Macy was talking to me about the storm and thanking me for comforting her when she finally noticed something off.

"Where's Nick and why is Joe thinking?" She asked, looking around in curiosity.

"Well…it's complicated Mace, I can't tell you." I told her and she nodded before standing and walking over to Joe, waving her hand in front of his face, but to no avail.

"Joe, don't make me get Stella." She threatened, not joking at all and Joe grudgingly raised his gaze. "Are you ok?"

Joe rolled his eyes. "No Mace, I am not ok." He curtly answered before turning away; clear he did not want to talk. Macy pursed her lips and walked back over to me, confusion in her eyes.

"Mace, I can't tell you but Nick may not be back for awhile." I informed her and her eyes got real wide in question and understanding. She probably thought Joe and Nick got into a huge fight or something and Nick was cooling off somewhere…well I guess that was kind of true…

KATJA'S POV-R TIME 9 am (E TIME 1 am)

King Nick was up and ready, impressive, but it made sense considering no one in Riptide were morning people, excluding myself and him, because the reason he loved mornings is their peace. But peace would not last, I could see that. For as long as war waged in his heart, war raged in Riptide as well as Earth. It was only a matter of time before Joe and Kevin felt it as well.

JOE'S POV-E TIME 9am (R TIME-5 pm)

School was cancelled toady due to fear over the freak storm thing and the fact over half of its windows were broken. I still didn't believe the nonsense Katja threw at us, if that was her real name, but I was starting to get seriously worried. Nick wasn't coming back

"Joe?" Kevin asked looking up from the internet. "I've been researching what Katja said and there is only one website about a girl who entered her world and left it. You will never guess who it is either." I looked up, attention not really caught but hey, I heard the world girl so I had to listen. "It's J.K Rowling, the Harry Potter author. She described her world just as Harry's but of course everyone on here thinks this is another story and not real. I asked her about it and look what she responded." Kevin tilted me the screen and I saw his email with Ms. Rowling herself answering. Cool.

To: JKR

From: Kevin Jonas

Hi Ms. R I read your 'other world' website and I believe you and I don't think this is just another story. I know someone close to me who may or may not have gone into their 'other world' and I don't think he wants to come back. Can you please give me information on these 'other worlds?'

To: Kevin

From: JKR

Hi Kevin, glad to see SOMEONE believes in this. It is crazy, I can tell you that.

The 'other world' is a whole different world. Everyone has one, even you. You are the creator of said world and will be treated like royalty if you ever find the entrance. Your friend must have found his. According to the my world's protector, each world is centered around the creator's emotions, dreams, heart and soul. In every way, it is you. The door to the world only opens when you find that you don't belong in one world anymore or if you believe hard enough. I can't tell you much, but what do you need to know?

To: JKR

From: Kevin

Thank you! Just a few more questions.

You mentioned the world is 'me.' How? Is there any way to enter another person's world? What happens when they go into their world? Is time affected?

Thanks again!

To: Kevin

From: JKR

You are welcome Kevin. You must want him back if you ask this many questions. Ok, here we go:

The world is you because when you were brought into Earth, your world was created with you. Everything you've ever felt, lived through or dreamed changes you as it does this world. The world reflects your heart.

I know of two ways to enter another's world. One, you are invited in. Two, the World's Protector comes to you and tells you to believe and when you do, it will grant you access into the world.

According to my friends, time moved on in Earth after I left but when I did, My World's Protector told me the open portal from my world to Earth was causing the earth to storm and destroy itself if the portal stayed open too long.

Time runs differently in all worlds Kevin. It may be slower or faster depending on where your friend is.

Kevin, I cannot answer any more but know this:

It is easier to enter a world than it is to leave.

Wishing you luck.

Wow he actually spoke to JKR without telling me and he got answers but I still couldn't really bring myself to believe.

"Joe, it fits. There was a massive freak storm the day Nick vanished, aka yesterday. Nick said one twilight can change him, which meant his world, Riptide, runs faster than ours!" Kevin ranted, trying to get me to understand what I didn't want too. It was so much easier thinking he was kidnapped or ran away instead of going to a whole new world where I may never see my little brother again…how could I believe that? "Katja must be his World's Protector and she said exactly what JKR said! We have to believe!"

I sighed. "Kev, I can't alright! I can't believe that I may never see Nick again because of my stupid mistakes! I can't believe he left us! How can you?" I asked, not caring for the new level of sorrow and hopelessness in my voice.

"I can because I want to help Nick."

NICK'S POV-R TIME- 7PM (E TIME-11 PM)

I held the King's sword, admiring it before I somehow fought with it. It was an enlarge version of the King's Dagger. Katja sat next to the King's bow, which I hadn't seen yet. The more I thought about fighting with these weapons, the more skeptical I became. How was I supposed to fight with these when I never had before? I could not wield this weapon any more than a fish could breathe air.

"Nick," Katja calmly said, reading my emotions again, "You can only wield the blade…"

"When I wish to wield it." I finished and Katja nodded and it was so odd seeing her as a girl instead of a cat but she had told me she can shape shift, but she prefers the cat, but she had to train with me today as a girl.

I took a calming breath, still not believing I spent the day getting to know my people and the city and learning, it all seemed like a blur. Stella would enjoy the clothes here and Macy would love the competitive sports of fencing and archery. Joe and Kevin can go screw themselves.

I focused back on the blade and I knew I could wield it and best any mortal who dared crossed sword with mine. I nodded to Katja and she raised the gate with a flick of her finger, watching me intensely. I can do this, this blade is mine to wield. My hand fit perfectly on the hilt and it more felt of an extension of my arm than a mere piece of silver. A shadow man thing stepped out, saw me, and charged.

I can do this, I can fight, I can win, I will win.

I ducked under the swinging blade and jabbed forward, piercing through his heavy armor, my own light armor reflecting merrily in the dying light. This is so cool! The Shadow stepped back, feinting injury but I knew better, I hadn't hit it yet.

I will fight and I will win.

It lunged forward, twisting its blade so it was nigh impossible to see but I knew where it was aiming and I knew how to move to strike my own. It retaliated with a short jab that I danced away from and it stumbled forward and I took the opening, loping off its head and it faded in the wind, the shadow's dying as if doused in light.

I did fight, I did win.

I looked to Katja, breathing hard but smiling and she nodded before picking up the bow and walking over to me, taking the sword. She said nothing as I put the quiver on my back and took hold of the weapon, admiring it like I did mine blade.

Perfectly curved with a silver stick Katja had called Amela, golden sharpened tips to stab enemies if need be. The string was as thin as a unicorn tail hair, which Katja told me that was exactly what it was. Wait…why did I have unicorns in this world? I blame Kevin. The bolts were made of the same type of wood; the feathers at the end were gold bordered leaves, one red, one gold, and one orange. The arrow heads were gold to match the ends of the bow.

Katja pointed to the far end of the coliseum we stood in and it adorned targets, some stationary some moving.

I can hold this bow. My aim will be true. No gust of wind can deter my bolts once they leave string and finger.

I notched an arrow, knowing exactly how to do it, knowledge awaking that I needn't know I had. Katja didn't bother from moving next to me.

Twang. Perfect hit on first target…Perfect hit on all targets. I pwn.

"Become more power and ready my King, then shall your time to show be." Katja told me and I nodded. I could wait to do battle with her and other warriors. But for now, time to dress back into the King attire Stella would freak about. My favorite part was the cape of leaves that literally looked like fire. I never wanted to leave, even with war on the horizon. After all, only from Light creates Darkness Bane.

KEVIN'S POV –E TIME 12 PM (R TIME-TWILIGHT)

I understood why Joe didn't want to accept the fact Nick was gone and he may never come back, but that was why I believed. Nick needed us to show him that whatever he thought of us, it was wrong, and that this world is where he belongs, not Riptide. King or not, Nick did not belong there, he belonged here with family…

But what if he didn't want to leave? Was that what Mrs. Rowling meant when she said it was easier to get in then out?

KATJA'S POV (TWILIGHT)

The time for Darkness reign was almost upon this kingdom…and when the first move in this game of chess was made, it would already be too late.

Chibiyu: *puppy dog eyes* Please review? If you don't, Joe dies. Easy as that. Until Next Update.
