Thorn moaned again, Murtagh and Tori walked towards Thorn and calmed him.

"I can't do this by myself Murtagh, I need Cat" Tori said sadly "She always knows what to do"

Murtagh nodded, not saying anything.

"I have to go then, I won't be long I promise. I have to go home and get you some clothes and call Cat" Tori told them.

"I should go with you" Murtagh said.

"You can't just leave Thorn here by himself" Tori protested.

Murtagh hesitated "You're right"

"I'll be back as soon as I can be I promise" Tori assured them "If you hear anyone coming hide, if it isn't me run"

Thorn moaned unhappily, Tori stoked his nose softly "I love you Thorn" she smiled at him sadly "You'll be ok big guy"

Tori then turned to Murtagh "You know that's the second time you've tried to kill me"

He shifted his gaze "And the last" Murtagh spoke softly.

"I hope so" Tori smiled "Don't look so miserable, I'll be back"

"Sorry, it's just this is my first time in this dimension and-"

Tori laughed "Shut up" She kissed him, Murtagh stroked Tori's cheek "I'll be right back" she promised for the hundredth time and with that she left.

Thorn and Murtagh watched her go before turning to each other.

"I know you're scared Thorn" Murtagh said "But we will be alright. Tori will help me protect you. You know I will do all in my power to keep you safe. No one's life is more important to me than yours"

Thorn nodded his great head before lying down and heaving a huge sigh. Murtagh sat down and leaned against his dragon.


Tori finally got back to her house, she climbed in through her bedroom window. She searched through her belongings, trying desperately to find her phone.

"Oh hell yeah!" she cried when she found it. Tori dialled the number and rang Cat.

"Hello?" said the voice on the line.

"Cat! Catherine it's me"

"Tori?" she answered surprised "Tor-Tor where have you been, everyone ha-"

"Look I can't explain all that over the phone. Please I need you to come over right now, I need your help Cat"

"Tori, is everything ok?"

"I- I don't know, please just get here soon"

"I'll be right there" Catherine hung up.

Tori stood up and walked out her front door, she ran across the road and knocked on the neighbours door. A tall boy answered, he had beach blonde hair and looked like he was about eighteen. He looked Tori up and down, then smirked and leaned against the door frame.

"What the hell happened to you Tori?" He asked.

Tori looked down at herself, she was covered in dirt, her clothes were torn and she had many scrapes and bruises covering her skin. She ran her hand through her hair, it was dirty and tangled.

"Oh- uh, I- yeah, um I just came home from a fancy dress party" She lied.

The boy laughed "What did you go as?"

"Uh a um plane… crash… survivor" said Tori.

The boy smiled at her "Ok, at least it's original. So what's up?"

"Jay I need to borrow some clothes off you" she explained "uh, preferably black"

"…why?" Jay asked.

"Because you owe me" Tori said "Remember I totally covered for you when you snuck out with Amy. Please" Tori had known Jay since she was five and they were always getting into trouble or trying to get each other out of it.

Jay laughed "Yeah ok Tor, you got me there but you gotta stop lying to me. I want to know what these clothes are for?"

"You want the truth?" Jay nodded "Ok then a few nights ago I got sucked into another world where I met a guy and a dragon who have been protecting me from an evil King who has his heart set on killing me, I nearly got killed but this bajillion year old lady magically sent me back to this world along with the dragon and his rider. So I need your clothes because this guy is wearing old medieval lookin' robes and a cloak" Tori finished, slightly breathless.

Jay stared for a moment then laughed and hugged Tori "Man, you're such a spaz Tor. Look if you're not gunna tell me what's goin' on at least promise you're gunna be careful ok?"

Tori smiled "Thanks Jay"

He handed her a black pair of jeans, a black Metalicca t-shirt and black converse shoes. "Wow" Tori said.

"What? You asked for black" Jay shrugged.

"Yeah, but this is black" Tori answered.

"Look beggars can't be choosers Tori"

Tori smiled "You're right"

"Course I am" Jay smiled "Now piss off, I gotta do some homework"

"Ha! Is that what you and Amy are calling it these days?"

"Bye Tori!" Jay said pushing her out the door.

"Jay" she said turning around "Thankyou"

Jay smiled "Anything for you"

"Really?" Tori asked.

"Nope" Jay answered "Later fat ass"

"See ya Princess"

Tori ran back across the road to her house, she went into the bathroom and smiled. "I get to have a shower! I get to have a shower!" Tori repeated dancing around while pulling off her dirty clothes and turning on the hot water. After fifteen minutes, Tori climbed out of the best shower she'd ever had and headed towards her bedroom.

Tori got changed into a new pair of jeans and a t-shirt, just as she finished she heard a knock at the door. Tori opened the front door and was nearly knocked to the ground when Cat hugged her.

"I've been so worried about you Tor-Tor! Where the hell have you been?" she asked.

Tori sighed "You're not going to believe me if I tell you so come with me and I'll show you"

Tori dragged Cat to the clearing, all the while Cat complained and asked questions. Tori stopped about 50 metres away from the clearing.

"Ok, do you remember that book you gave me a few days ago, 'Eragon'?" Tori asked.

"Yeah I just finished the second one but why is that relevant right now?" Cat replied.

Tori tried to find a way to say it but when she couldn't think how show could explain it logically she did it the Tori way. That is, explaining the whole story really quickly hoping she would go with it. "Ok, I got sucked into the book and I met Murtagh and Thorn and they are here now in our world, but Thorn can't communicate with anyone anymore, people saw him and I don't know what to do which is why I called you. Because you always know what to do and I know this all sounds really crazy even for me but you're my best friend and I need you to help me" Tori bit her lip.

Cat laughed "Ok what's really going on?"

Tori sighed and grabbed Cat's hand "Don't say I didn't warn you"

Tori pulled Cat into the clearing, Cat was still laughing "Guys" Tori called out "It's me, it's ok for you to come out"

Cat laughed again "Is Murtagh using his wizarding powers to camouflage himself?"

"No, their powers don't work here" Tori answered, ignoring her friend as she laughed harder "Thorn! Murtagh! Cat shut up for a second ok?"

Cat stopped laughed "You're serious about this aren't you? Tori have you been doing some form of drugs or something?"

Tori didn't answer she heard a small whimper. She motioned for Catherine to be quiet. Tori moved towards the noise, she spotted a long red tail sticking out from behind a large pile of dead wood. Tori crept around until Thorn's entire body came into view.

"Hey Thorn" she said softly.

Thorn moaned happily and moved towards her. Tori laughed "I missed you big guy, did you miss me?" Tori wrapped her arms around Thorn's neck. "Where's Murtagh?"

Tori turned as she heard Cat scream. Tori ran back to where she had left her. Tori sighed with relief when she saw Murtagh pointing his sword at Cat.

"Murtagh, it's ok" Tori said, Murtagh turned and saw her, his body suddenly didn't look so tense "This is Cat, she's my friend. Cat this is Murtagh and this is Thorn" Tori motioned behind her.

Cat looked from Tori, to Murtagh, to his sword, to the dragon. She fainted.
