Chapter Three: Here Comes Trouble!

'Right sorry,' Zane and the others murmured their apology as they continued to get ready to attack against the bad guys.

'Good I was itching for a fight anyway,' Max smirked cracking his knuckles turning to his family 'After you sister dearest,' he grinned letting Cherry go first causing her to roll her eyes.

'Well aren't you a gentleman,' Cherry snorted gaining her powers which was fire—that her eyes glowed red like Ariel "Fire blast,"

Aqua closed her eyes as her eyes glowed blue "Tidal wave," she replied.

'Well that was easy— 'Max furrowed his eyebrows 'Too easy… actually...' as his eyes glowed green "Rock Smash!"

'Not really because there's more coming this way— 'Kacey panicked 'Zander?! The kids?!'

Zander paled and swore under his breath "Shit—GUST OF WIND!?" blowing away the bad guys while Kacey grabbed the kids tightly as they were sobbing holding Kacey closely as she softens her eyes.

'Zee…' Kacey soften her eyes.

'You want to adopt them don't you Kace?'

Kacey soften her eyes 'They don't have any other families Zee,'

Zander kissed her on the forehead 'I'll take care of the adoption papers tomorrow,'

"Whet's gung to huppen to me and my bruthers?' one of the kids whimpered.

"Well Lily flower would you like to be in our family?' Kacey softly replied.

"Really?" one of the kids whimpered "Y-yo—you'll be our new mommy?"

Kacey soften her eyes "Only if you want me too?"

The little girl whimpered "I would like that,' hugging Kacey softly turning to Zander "Can I call you daddy?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way. What's your name pretty girl?"

"Lily. Lilian Rose," the girl whimpered holding her brothers "This is my brothers—Seth and James are we going to be in your family?"

"Yes, unless you have other family members that we don't know about?" Zander soften his eyes.

"My mommy and daddy are the only ones left—and now they're gone— "Lily whimpered.

"Shhh it's okay princess daddy will protect you and your brothers—I just want you know that we also have children on our own—five kids to be exact so we'll be a huge family," Kacey explained.

"Okey," Lily Rose smiled hugging her brothers as they're only 3 years old so they're still young—while Lily Rose is 5 years old.

"We should get them into safety," Zoey replied carrying two boys and a baby girl which they all learned was Leonardo 'Leo', Jacob Ryan 'Jake or Jay' then there's Jasmine Roe who are the same age as Lily, Seth and James considering they're neighbors so they knew each other through school and from their parents who unfortunately didn't make it from the attacks.

[Train station—inside the train—which Klaus (Nik), Elias, Jay and Cameron were inside the train that's connected to the demon world which would take at least 6 train stations to get there so they had a long way to go] …

Hermione and the Diddly Bopz were currently inside the train currently unconscious until Neville, Seamus, Dean and Harry woke up 12 hours later—they're currently in the 3rd train so they had 3 trains left to go to the demon world to head to New York. It would take at least 2-4 days to get to New York from the amount of trains they had to take.

Jay, Cameron, Elias and Nik were keeping watch on the kids until they heard a painful groan.

"Wh—what happen?" Neville felt a huge headache, blinking his eyes dumbly "Wh—why are we moving?"

"We're inside the train Nev," Jay answered crossing his arms "How are you feeling kiddo?"

"My head is throbbing and I feel like my whole body is numb for a long time," Neville murmured.

"Ah— "Elias murmured "Well that's what happens when you get injected by the shot Nev,"

"Shot…."

"Long story…"

"O—okay,"

That was until they heard another couple of painful groans from Harry, Seamus and Dean who felt their heads throbbing like Neville before them.

"What happen?" Seamus groaned.

"Well, we're inside the train taking you kids away from this place," Klaus replied putting his hands behind his head.

"What do you mean?"

"What's the last thing you remember?"

Dean furrowed his eyebrows "We got into argument— "causing Jay, Cameron, Nik and Elias to slowly nod at this "And then Zane, Aqua and Tory—they were there too—Aqua was telling us some things that happen back at the house and— "he widens his eyes in horror "Mia, where is she?" he exclaimed.

"Relax she's asleep next to Lulu and Twix Lil D?" Jay pointed out causing Dean, Harry, Neville and Seamus to rush over to their sisters, sighing in relief.

"I don't get it—how did we get here the train I mean?" Seamus scratched his head all confuse.

"Don't worry we took you guys here?"

"We could've magically transported to America with no problem though?"

"True… but, we had to be extra careful you guys are being tracked—I have no doubt they would've followed you anywhere Shay,"

Before Seamus can answer they heard two more groans from the girls Susan and Luna woke up but, not with Hermione though; she was still unconscious.

"Owe my head," Susan groaned in pain blinking her eyes "Where—where are we?"

"We're inside the train heading to New York,"

"New York, as in America?"

"Yes,"

"Why are we taking the train I thought we have to fly there?"

"There's a few places in the demon world to take you straight to America without flying there," Klaus shrugged at this.

"Oh…" Susan furrowed her eyebrows looking at her brothers "How long were you awake for?"

"Not long you and Lulu woke up; the only one who hasn't woke up is just Mia,"

Luna frowned looking at her sister—she can tell that Hermione was awake pretending to be asleep but, didn't say anything yet not wanting to reveal her secret. Everyone grew silent after an awkward silence.

"Hey Nik…" Dean spoke up.

"Yeah Lil D?" Klaus asked clearing his throat staring at the window to keep watch before he turned back to his adopted little brother.

Dean paused for a moment "I know things have been extra tense between you and— "he slowly turned to his sister then back to Nik "Mia—but, you know she didn't mean to say that to you she was just upset… we all were..." he whispered.

Klaus slowly nod with a small smile "Yeah I know and I don't blame her for being upset—I just… it still hurts to hear her say that she hates me," he whispered clearing his throat.

"If it makes you feel any better we don't hate you Nik we were just as confuse as Mia was—after all Ariel took care of us and consider her as our mum—and Mia's just protective with Ariel as much as we are since she's our older sister," Harry whispered.

"I know kiddo, I know…" Klaus sighed without any knowledge that Hermione slowly opened her eyes hearing their conversation but, kept silent.

"Hey Jay-Jay," Susan whispered.

"Yeah Twix what's up?" Jay asked.

"Is 'Fire going to be okay…" Susan murmured worried about her best friend who she considers as a sister "I'm—I'm worried about her… I know losing Ariel was probably got her upset but, I can't help but, worry about her," she whispered.

Jay soften his eyes picking up Susan into his lap giving her a comfort hug "We're all worried about her Twix but, she's—she's a lot stronger than people gave her credit for—and I'm sorry we didn't tell you guys the truth about the plan with Red—it was the only way to calm her down and we didn't want to take any chance for being followed," he explained.

"Y—you promise she's going to be okay?" Harry whispered.

"I promise she will," Klaus assured him.

"What time is it?" Dean asked.

"About 7:30 in the evening—since you kids were asleep the past 24 hours why don't we get something to eat you guys must be starving?" Elias offered.

Dean and the kids nodded eagerly turning to Hermione who hasn't moved a muscle "What about Mia? Won't she get hungry too?" Luna asked.

"I'm sure when she wakes up she'll join you guys. I'll keep an eye out on her. Jay, Cameron and EJ will join you guys since I already ate already," Nik replied.

"Okay," Seamus murmured turning to his sister "We'll save her some food just in case though,"

"I'm sure she appreciates that," Nik assured him.

Seamus nodded as they headed to the buffet table while Nik was left behind to watch over his sister Hermione. Once they were eating dinner Nik went back to his reading without looking up.

'I know your awake 'Fire you can open your eyes now,' Nik answered.

[no answer] …

'Still giving me the silent treatment huh?'

[no answer] …

Nik sighed 'Alright, I get it—you want to ignore me that's fine—but, I just want you know that I forgive you for saying you hate me. I know you might not understand this now but, we're only doing this to protect you kids away from that devil woman… that includes you Mia… and I understand why you'd be upset—' he paused for a moment raising his eyebrow noticing that Hermione turned her body facing the wall 'When you're ready to talk you know where to find me, we all love you Mia I hope you know that despite how we only knew each other under a year we consider you as our family never forget that okay we only wanted to protect you…' he sadly answered.

Hermione closed her eyes sadly wiping her tears quickly as she slowly dozed off to go back to bed. Since it was still late well early morning Jay, Cameron, and Elias decided to take the kids back to their room so they can go back to sleep. Luna and Susan shared with Hermione in the top bunk since they're a bit smaller than their brothers then Seamus, Dean, Neville and Harry shared one bed in the bottom bunk. Jay, Cameron, Elias and Nik would switch when they needed to go to bed. Right now, Elias and Cameron would take the beds while Nik and Jay keep watch then switch the next night; they're now in their 4th night—Jay, Nik, Cameron and Elias took the kids to the final station not realizing they were being followed by Cruella and Ursula's cronies.

They went inside their room later that night while the kids were still asleep since their things were already packed inside they had to make sure they didn't leave anything behind. Nik would carry Mia, then Jay would carry Harry and Seamus, Cameron carried Dean and Neville and Elias carried the girls Luna and Susan. It was only 5:30 in the morning when Hermione finally woke up despite how she been giving Nik the silent treatment it was still a bit tense inside their room. Jay and the others went to take Dean and the kids breakfast not wanting to disturb her and left them to talk hopefully to made up being friends again. At least they hope anyway.

Hermione groaned painfully from the sunlight "Wha—what happen?" her voice was hoarse; blinking her eyes noticing she's by herself and remembered where she was—she rapidly got up looking for her siblings and saw Nik in the room; his chair was rocking back and forth until he saw her got up and rapidly got up.

"Hey Mia…" Nik murmured.

"Hi…" Hermione softly lowering her eyes sadly "W—where are we?" she whispered.

"Well you been asleep the whole time we been in this train although this is our final stop we're heading to New York right now which shouldn't be very long," Nik explained.

Hermione blinked her eyes "Oh… "she murmured shifted a little uncomfortable "How—how long was I asleep for?" she whispered.

Klaus pondered for a moment "Well I knew you were awake since the first night but, you didn't wake up exactly—I knew you were listening so I let you be—until now," he murmured.

Hermione bit her bottom lip nervously "How did you know I wasn't asleep?" she murmured.

Nik chuckled "I was the one that taught Red everything she knew—and she must've passed it to you," he murmured.

"Oh…" Hermione murmured bowing her head as she remembered their last encounter; she told him she hated him—she felt ashamed with herself yelling at him like that it wasn't his fault that things didn't go as she hoped "Nik…" she whispered.

"Hmmm…" Klaus murmured as his eyes closed for a short moment.

"I'm—I'm sorry for yelling at you the other day—I was just—upset I know you were trying to help us get away from Ursula and I got my emotions the best of me," Hermione drifted off softly "I know we're just kids… it's hard for me to trust anyone who's an adult before… besides my big sister… we never really trusted anyone before and I guess it's hard for me to comprehend that Ariel's really gone," she was choking in her own tears "She's my big sister—she promised she'd be with us and instead of coming with us—she sacrificed herself for us to start over and it's hard to believe I lost her again," she was choking on her tears that Nik rushed over to hug her.

"I know you are and I don't blame you Mia after what you and your mini family been through … I blame myself for not coming back to help sooner— "Nik drifted off with a distant look remembering what Ariel told him last night "And I'm sorry for not seeing this sooner. I really am… and I'm sure if Ariel was alive…she wouldn't want you to be sad she would've want you to get yourself up and live your life as best as you could. She would've want you to continue you education and mourn on your own pace… I know it doesn't seem much but, she does love you Mia and your family more than you ever know… and once you're old enough you're going to feel things that you won't understand now until your much older and maybe then you'll fall in love meeting someone special—and Ariel isn't really gone not really—she's right here—" he points at her heart softly "She's going to watch over you and your family Mia that's what guardian angels are for? No matter how far or older you get she's always going to love you Mia always and forever," he explained (a/n: Just wanted to give you a heads-up Klaus is Nik so it's the same person most of his friends call him Nik while others is Klaus—only selected few can call him Nik just in case you get confuse)

Hermione sniffed bowing her head as he continued to hug her "I miss her so much Nik… why did she have to go,"

"I know kiddo I know," Nik returned the hug "I miss her too more than you know,"

'Miss, you too you big lug despite how I'm not really dead,' Ariel sarcastically replied.

'Shush you. I'm trying to have a moment with our sister,'

Ariel snorted 'Oh sure leave me out of it— 'she drifted off 'Btw how is everything in your end Nik,'

'So far so good—but, I feel like we're being followed… but, that could just be me talking,'

'Keep a look out Nik… I have no doubt that Cruella or Ursula send some followers after you guys,' Ariel pointed out.

'Always,' Nik answered 'Nik out,'

'Red out,' Ariel answered.

"Thank you…" Hermione murmured.

"For what cookie?" Nik asked after he and Ariel went on their separate ways he didn't hear half of what Hermione said. Well most of the time she was quiet but, still.

"For saving our lives when you did… and I don't hate you anymore…" Hermione whispered at this.

"I know and I forgive you little lion you know you can always count of me and the guys we're practically family," Nik told her.

"Really?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah ... despite how we knew each other less than 3 months I consider you guys my family blood or not and I'm sure Ariel would've agreed with us," Nik replied.

"Yeah she probably would…" Hermione whispered.

"Hey …" Nik began to say lifting her chin "Don't even worry about it okay. We're still good kiddo never forget that," he explained.

"Y—you promise?" Hermione whispered.

"Yeah come on I bet you're starving let's get some breakfast huh since the others are probably wondering what's taking us so long?" Nik offered.

"Okay..." Hermione whispered.

Nik helped his sister off the bunk before she can climb down not that she minds or anything but, still and headed to the dining cart which 2 carts down from their room. It took a while to find it but, they managed to get there in time with their family where they were looking through so many choices from the breakfast buffet.

"So, what will it be kids… I bet you guys are starving?" Elias asked in the background.

"There's so many choices here … I don't know where to start?" Susan asked nervously.

"Well take your time kiddo because we have a long way to go till we head to our next destination," Jay pointed out.

"Hey Jay can I get that one," Dean pointed out the waffles since he couldn't reach.

"Sure, kiddo how many waffles do you want?" Jay asked.

"Umm… can I get 1?" Dean comments.

"Only one. Surely you're going to have more than one Lil D?" Elias told him as his eyes widen in shock.

"Well I wasn't sure if it was allowed," Dean shyly says.

Elias laughed "You can have as many waffles you want Lil D trust me we're in for a long way to go," he comments.

"Really! Can I have blueberry waffles then?" Dean perked up.

"Of course," Elias winked.

"YES!" Dean happily says as he tried to get more waffles which was hard for him to reach so Elias and Cameron went to help him out. Once the Diddly Bopz, Klaus (Nik), Elias, Cameron and Jayden head to their table they started eating their breakfast in silence after a few moments Hermione started telling them that she and Klaus made up leaving them to sigh in relief then starting chatting again. It took a while for Ariel and her siblings (without Hermione's knowledge) that they picked different places in case they were being followed. Hermione finished first along with Harry and Luna; Elias and Cameron were done with their breakfast so they escorting them that they decided to head back to their room since they're a bit tired while Seamus, Susan, Dean, Nik and Jayden were still getting some more food. They were still hungry so they decided to get seconds or thirds from the buffet and took extra's to bring for their trip.

Hermione's P.O.V.

I'm currently inside the train from what Nik told us they been switching trains from each train station stop we're in our final stop heading to New York by going through the demon world. So, we were in a mixture of youkai demons, demigods etc and mixture of mortal and half youkai demon depends on the person. I've been deep into my thoughts thinking of a plan that was in notion but, so far—it's been on hold after the whole fiasco between Nik and I… I bit my bottom lip sadly despite how Nik said he forgave me I still felt bad for yelling at him but, I'm glad he forgave me though. I knew I really hurt him when I yelled at him stating that I hate him. I don't really hate him it's just been a very emotional day for us especially for me.

After learning that my big sister Ariel; the rest of us call her mama Ariel because she's our mother figure despite she's my big sister since I can remember—she been planning on taking us away from Ursula for weeks…with the help of Zane and the others. I felt hurt, confused, angry, conflicted—it's a lot to deal with for an eight-year-old. It took nearly a year to trust Zane and the others though since most adults that we knew weren't very nice.

At least from who we met anyway but, with Ariel's friends they were so nice and carefree that sometimes I wish I can be like them too. Having fun whenever I want. From the past four days—I had this uneasy feeling since we arrived to the train; yes, I know I was unconscious but, I can still feel things even if my eyes were close. At first I shrugged it off but, now it's starting to worry me. From what Nik told us he said that we should be arriving to New York within this evening.

Apparently, I wasn't the only person who felt that uneasy feeling Dean and the others felt it too but, didn't want to worry Nik, Jay, Elias or Cameron since they're too busy eating breakfast. I knew I had to be very cautious just to be safe. I know I should tell Nik and the guys but, I was too deep into my thoughts that I didn't even noticed that Nik came back with Elias, Jay, and Cameron they're brothers you see. Well, only Cameron, Nik and Elias they're brothers but, Jay he's related to Aqua and Max being the eldest and all. Kacey told me that their family tree is very complicated. I got really confuse so I asked her once when we first met them—Kacey told me that their father was— 'ladies' man' whatever that means and told me that I was too young to know; adults are so weird. Nik told us that he doesn't want me, Twix or Lulu to be with a guy like that—they're a cheater so he's pretty much like a father figure to us.

Hermione looked at the clock through my cell phone, it was a present from my sister who I call her mama Ariel—in case anyone forgets she's the one who really raised us until she went away to school… she always made sure me and my mini family were taken care of extra good and tends to spoil us a lot but, we don't mind though she's our mama who loves us till we became a family so that's acceptable in my book. It read 8:30 in the morning that's when Nik gathered our stuff to get ready finally destination.

'Hey Dean, did you see those guys there—by the end of the buffet cart near the door reading the newspaper by the window?' I asked telepathy; Dean looked up from his book to see them as the 'suspicious looking guys,' coughing awkwardly continuing reading over Jay's shoulder.

'Yeah what about them 'Fire?' Dean asked.

'I don't know why…' I drifted off for a quick moment 'But, they seem really familiar like I seen them before…'

Harry furrowed his eyebrows; his eyes were closed but, he can see people with his eyes closed; it's part of his powers 'You know they do seem familiar to me but, I can't make it out where I saw them before?'

'You know if I didn't know any better I would think that's Jasper and Horace Cruella's goons—last time I saw them they were watching over us at the house—then at the train station in the beginning they were buying chocolate,' Seamus pointed causing us to stare at him in horror 'What?'

'How can you tell it's them though— 'Susan squinted her eyes a bit blocking the sun from her hands.

'Well it's obvious isn't it—the guy in the hat it's the exact hat that Jasper wears and his face expression was always… neutral then there's Horace he's wearing the jacket that he wore 4 days ago,' Neville pointed out worriedly 'You don't think they'd been following us and got away from Klaus and the others, do you?'

'There's only one way to find out— 'I drifted off pondering a moment giving Nik a look which he took the hint 'Nik—I think we're being followed since we been in the train,'

Klaus, Jay, Elias and Cameron knew they were being followed by Jasper and Horace but, they didn't think they found them again—it was the only reason why they switched train stations and now they're in the demon world using the train away—they would've been fit by being half mortal in the demon world—without knowing about their true heritage unless it was necessary.

'You felt it didn't you Mia?' Jay answered 'Since the beginning we been on this train,'

Hermione nodded at this to confirm our suspicions.

'Damn,' Jay swore under his breath 'I was hoping you wouldn't but—I wouldn't blame you since you always been smart for your age—how long have you known?'

'Since we first arrived to the train and—wait a minute you knew?' I accused them.

'Guilty as charge,' Elias half smiled with an apology 'Sorry Mia—we been trying to get away from them from not following us but it would seem they found us again—okay we're going to need a plan Nik,' he barked.

'In our defense, they got away from Ruby and the others,' Cameron argued back 'They didn't even notice until they saw the car following us and I think it's those bulgy guys that Mia was talking about—Jasper and Horace if we're being honest here we must get out of here now and fast,' he hissed.

'Guys that's enough— 'Nik barked 'Jay we're going to have to be discreet about this … so this is what we're going to do… Mia I want to gather the others and meet us in our room but, act casual though so that way they won't be suspicious or onto them EJ you and Cam go with the kids while Jay and I take care of the pest,' he instructed as we nodded in agreement.

'Okay,' Hermione and the kids answered.

'Nik be careful they got a gun,' Elias warned his brother.

Klaus glowed his eyes mixture of blue and red 'Trust me little brother that's nothing compared on what I can do and be careful too little brother,'

'Always am,' Elias saluted.

Dean, Harry, Seamus and Neville just got back from getting some extra food to go which was a lot—but, after one look they immediately went in defense mode—they had some plastic containers and put it inside which they put on a warm charm to keep the food warm in case they get hungry again. Luna and Susan explained what was going on which made them in panic but, after learning about the plan—they were prepared for the outcome; Hermione, Luna and Susan split up with Dean, Harry, Seamus and Neville—who were with Nik and Jay splitting up while Hermione and the girls were with Elias and Cameron; the minute the girls went pass the door that's when they were a bit outnumbers when they grabbed Hermione by the arm which cause her to scream and didn't enjoy being touched so without thinking she kicked him by instinct causing him to groan in pain.

"You're going to pay for that you little brat!" one of the Cruella's men's snarl in anger (Carlos)

'Twix, Lulu Run!?' Hermione mentally yelled in telepathic which left Susan and Luan to widen their eyes in horror as they ran off with Elias and Cameron not far from them.

'Fire over here! Over here!" Cameron yelled from the distance as we raced over to Cameron.

"GET BACK HERE YOU MANGY BRATS?!" Johnathan snarled who grabbed Luna by the leg which cause her to scream in horror.

'MIA! HELP!' Luna whimpered in pain 'He scratched me—it really hurts,'

"LET HER GO OF MY SISTER YOU BIG BULLY!?" Hermione kicked him on the groin quite hard and helped her sister Luna 'Twix—Lulu's down—she got hurt by that evil goon,'

'On my way,' Susan ran over to help over her sisters 'Her leg is bleeding Mia,'

'I know we'll deal with it later,' Hermione barked.

"Oh, no you don't you little brat don't think you'll get away from us again?!" Jasper snarled which Cameron glowed red and a huge gust of wind whoosh him away to the other side of the train cart.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Nik snarled using his powers which was earth—causing the guys that follow us now unconscious. People who were in the train were alarmed, some were upset by the sudden earth quake as we rushed over to grab our things and exit the train heading to New York which was only 10 feet away from us.

"Got you," Horace grinned evil "Don't think you'll run away from us again brat," who caught Susan's arm.

'MIA?!' Susan screamed in horror.

"HEY LET GO OF MY SISTER YOU BASTARD?!" Elias snarled using his powers whirlwind sending him whoosh away from the train—with a small crash against the trees causing us to wince 'Come on Twix climb my back so we can get the hell out of here,'

'What about me?' Luna whimpered.

'Climb on my back Lulu,' Cameron answered.

Luna and Susan sniffed and climbed on their backs secured; Cameron grabbed me by the arms and jumped from the window not far behind from Elias.

'Where are they?' Dean panicked.

'I'm sure they're fine—EJ? Cam what's taking so—there you guys are? What took so long?' Nik rushed over to us.

'Yeah, we're fine we got—held back because some of the goons grabbed Twix and Lulu—Lulu got hurt thanks to the goons—I would heal her now before it gets effected we didn't had the time to heal her because we were taking care of the guys,' Cameron pointed out.

Jay healed both Susan and Luna who muffled a 'thank you' by hugging him which he softens his eyes hugging them in return 'Mia are you hurt?' he asked. Hermione shakes her head then winced on her leg noticing her leg was bleeding and sighed which Jay healed her as well.

'Thanks,' Hermione murmured.

'Of course, anything for my girls,' Jay grinned then turned serious with Nik 'I told you taking the train was a bad idea Nik?' he complained.

'At least we got away from them Jay. Besides it wasn't my idea to take the train it was— 'Nik stopped to realize as everyone raised eyebrows at him; cleared his throat 'Never mine let's just get out of this wheat field it's perfect for us to rest for a bit,' he explained.

Jay, Cameron and Elias carried Mia, Susan and Luna as they're healing from their wounds while Dean, Neville, Seamus and Harry followed with Nik behind them keeping an eye out.

'Thank you for saving us EJ?' Susan hoarse who was being carried by Elias on his back.

'Like I'm going to have that bastard hurt you Twix—hold on tight huh we're getting out of here once we find a decent stop to leave?' he replied.

'Okay,' Susan whimpered.

'Thank you for saving me Cam,' Luna whimpered.

'Anything for you Lulu,' Cameron replied soften his eyes at this.

'Like I would have that bastard hurt you Twix,' Jay soften his eyes 'Hold tight huh we're getting out of here once we find a decent stop to leave,' he explained.

They been running through the wheat field 'Do you think we lost them?' Neville asked steading his breath.

'I don't know but, we should find a place to rest before we continue come on— 'Klaus offered to carry Hermione while Cameron took a rest then would switch to carry the boys who looked tired 'We're almost there come on guys grab hand of each other's hand and we can magically transport to New York,' he explained.

Everyone grabbed each hand and magically transported to an abandon alleyway filled with tall buildings. Klaus knew where they were—they were in now in the city of Manhattan of New York. Once Klaus and the others steadied their breaths they sat down leaning against the brick wall and talked out loud instead of using telepathy conversations.

"Where are we anyway?" Susan asked.

"We're in Manhattan, New York Twix," Cameron replied.

"Really," Susan perked up; her auntie Amelia always told her that one day they would go to New York where she's going to show her the ropes in America—to get away from the dangers in England but, that was before that devil woman killed her only family left besides Mia and her mini family that is "I can't believe we're in New York—" she hoarse lightly touching the building walls "My auntie Amelia told me she was going to take me here once I get older—we were going go that summer—" she drifted off and wiped her tears quickly with a sniff "Can we stay here a night…" she hoarse.

"I'm sure it's a great city Twix—but, in case we're being followed we have to blend into the crowd," Hermione pointed out; she transformed into her 16 year old self; she had a purple halter top, black jeans with stars on the side with converse; her hair however was in a high pony tail, as for her make-up it was a natural look noticing that everyone was looking at her in awe; well mostly her siblings but, with Nik and the others they looked like their expressions were pale as if they saw a ghost "What?" she asked.

Nik shook his head "Nothing 'Fire—" he drifted off giving Jay, Cameron and Elias a glower 'don't say one word' look "But, I like the way you think cookie… this is a perfect disguise—okay munchkins I want you guys to transform into your older selves like Mia here—so that way they won't recognize us," he explained; so one by one Harry, Neville, Dean, Seamus, Susan and Luna transformed into their older selves which took a while to perform but, they managed to do it easily whenever they want.

"As much as I want to stay here and go on a city tour of New York we should get going we're still on the run guys," Elias cleared his throat shaking out of his thoughts causing everyone to murmur in agreement; Susan however pouted knowing he's right which he noticed "We'll get a slovenlier on the way Twix," he offered.

"Thanks, EJ," Susan perked up.

Elias chuckled "Of course anything for you baby Twix,"

"Right now, we're going to stay in a hotel for a night— "Jay drifted off looking around "And don't even worry about the cost we'll take care of it," he explained.

"Are you sure?" Harry asked.

"I'm positive," Nik replied.

"Well alright…" Hermione sighed at this knowing this shouldn't be a problem with them considering they're older and all that. They checked in a hotel for the night so they can rest and figure out a plan in the morning since they didn't want to stay in one place too long in case they were being followed. The Diddly Bopz just started running away from the past two days but, because of Ursula gathered followers after them they had to run again to get away from them apparently, they wouldn't stop, luckily, they had Klaus, Elias and Jay to help them out which turned to be the past week they been running nonstop but, no matter where they went more goons the sea witch would find them.

"Did you hear that?" Luna whispered in horror.

"Uh oh," Harry widen his eyes in horror.

"Oh, no not again I thought we lost them," Seamus whined at this.

"Guys— "Neville was shaking in fear "Look," he hoarse shaking his fingers seeing Jasper and Horace looking for them through their black van; Cruella must've got them another van in New York.

Jay, Klaus and Elias looked at each other knowing they had to fight them or else they'll never get away from them.

"You guys run to the alley way by Elm Avenue there should be a blue Volkswagen 2013 New Beetle Carbio in navy blue that held at least 5 seats inside but, Jay added a few adjustments inside the car by adding more seats for them to fit so they wouldn't be squished to one another; By the time we reached to our destination being carried by Elias and Cameron we found the car by the lamp post while we distract them," Jay ordered them passing Cameron the keys which he caught with no problem.

"But, Jay we can't just leave you guys to fight them," Hermione protested.

"No buts 'Fire' go and do what I said by the dumpster over there and transport to Washington and whatever you do don't look back okay," Elias told them.

"EJ you and Cam need to go with them while I help Jay," Klaus ordered his brother.

Elias and Cameron was about to protest but, their older brothers gave a glower glow look that left them to slump in defeat knowing neither of them can argue with their brothers, giving a nod. Elias grabbed Hermione, Harry, Luna and Neville while Cameron grabbed Seamus, Dean and Susan heading to a different spot.

Hermione sat between Harry and Dean, Seamus Neville, Luna and Susan sat in the back (a/n: Klaus and Jay are currently battling against Jasper, Horace and the men—but, they had some back up from Max and the others—Max, Logan, Zane, Tory and Aqua managed to come help in time but, told Klaus and Jay to go while they took care of them again)

"Everyone buckled in?" Elias replied.

Everyone replied 'Yes,' 'Ready to go' 'Roger that' a few of us answered different so we left without finding out.

"EJ you there?" Nik asked which was a speaker in the front.

"Yeah I'm here Nik are you and Jay okay?" Elias asked.

"Yeah, we're fine meet us at the food market will you, Jay and I manage to get away from them," Nik answered.

"We'll be there in 10 minutes Jay," Cameron answered; turning the car backwards since he's driving while Elias sat in the passenger's seat next to him heading to the food market through the parking lot where they went inside the park; this time Elias added two more seats for their brothers Nik and Jay as they both jumped inside with no problem without looking back.

"Go, go, go, go" Jay barked causing Cameron to speed off.

"What happen?" Seamus asked noticing how they were a bit bruised and cuts on them.

"Apparently, Cruella and Ursula brought some friends and followed us all the way to New York— "Jay scowled leaving Hermione to frown where he noticed "Don't even worry about it 'Fire they won't be able to find you for a while…" he drifted off steadying his breathing by healing himself from the cuts that he and Nik got.

"Why do you say that?" Harry asked all confuse.

"Last time I checked they were in the demon world—which I thought it was a little strange and we left them in the train and wouldn't able to follow us wouldn't they?" Dean asked.

"Let's just say they're stuck to themselves," Jay snickered at this leaving the kids puzzled which Nik quickly added "And to answer your question they were stuck in the demon world thanks to Max—but, like I said we took care of it so don't you worry your little heads huh?"

"Why?" Neville who looked hesitate "What did you guys do?"

"Hold on to that thought Nev," Nik drifted off looking at the side mirrors "Cam let me drive I know a short cut once you reached to the red light after this that's when we'll switch okay" he explained.

"Nik, we can't switch seats when we're in a middle of a busy street," Cameron protested.

"Just do it Cam and don't ask any questions huh little brother," Jay snorted knowing Cameron had to follow the rules especially the road rules.

Cameron rolled his eyes "Yeah, yeah, what street do you want me to turn?"

"Central Park which is two blocks from here," Jay pointed out.

"Fine," Cameron replied.

Elias noticed their face expressions "Nik, Jay what is it?"

"Later EJ," Nik waved it off.

"Nik…."

"I said later EJ," Nik glowered his eyes at his brother who grew quiet.

"Fine, fine," Elias murmured causing Hermione to stare at them suspiciously but, she kept quiet.

Once they turned left and parked at the next corner where Central Park was—that's when Nik and Jay switched with their brothers Elias and Cameron. It was now 11:45 p.m. in the afternoon and once the coast was clear that's when Jay pulled the lever and flew the car leaving Hermione, Dean, and their mini family widen their eyes in awe.

"And to answer your question Nev—" Nik drifted off with a pause "Let's just say we left a little someone to leave the goons stuck together and in case you're wondering we're using one of dad's car back in the day—he gave it to me to keep once I was old enough—in case for emergencies which just happens to be one; he gave it to me when I was 18 years old so it's pretty much my car; I added a few adjustments including flying," he explained.

"That's so cool," Dean was in awe.

"Bloody brilliant," Seamus replied.

"Seamus," Luna and Susan exclaimed hitting him on the head "Watch your mouth,"

"Sorry," Seamus murmured causing everyone to laugh.
