Chapter 12: Getting Home

Alex had run all the way to the nearest airport that she could find without alerting anyone of her zombie self. Lucky for here, she saw an airport on her way here which is where she had expected to have landed when she got here. Apparently, she ended up on a private helicopter. Alex ran inside the building and ran up to the front desk. "Excuse me, which one of these planes are going to New York?" Alex asked the woman behind the counter.

"Do you have a ticket?" The woman asked.

"NO but I have a friend heading that way and she forgot a small item. It's very important that I deliver it personally to her." Alex quickly came up with the lie and hoped that it would suffice.

"The plane is straight down the hall and is the last one on the left. I'd hurry because the plane leaves in ten minutes." The woman said and pointed in the direction.

"Thank you very much." Alex ran down toward the plane that would take her home and then something came to mind. 'I wonder why they haven't heard the news about New York.' Alex thought as she ran. She finally made it to the right spot and found that she was able to crawl past the ticket booth without getting noticed or so she thought. 'Lucky for me I'm small enough to not be noticed, which doesn't make any sense. I'm not really that small which makes me wonder how they didn't notice me.' Alex thought and then an alarm went off. "Of course I can't be sneaky." Alex jumped off and then outside toward the plane that everyone is getting on and jumped onto the top of the plane. Alex crouched and about ten minutes later, she heard that she wasn't able to be found. "Now I can relax, somewhat." Alex held onto the plane tightly and waited for the plane to take off.

Back in New York, Dean had been pacing back and forth and all around trying to keep his mind in a positive state thinking things like, 'She'll be fine.' And 'she'll be back before I know it.'

Justin and Juliet had noticed this and began to worry as he had been up all night pacing. Juliet had finally had enough and made a decision. "Justin, I'm going to go look for Alex. Maybe by doing that we can give Dean some peace of mind."

Justin and Juliet looked at Dean pacing and saw that he is actually began to sweat. The two turned back to each other and nodded. "I think that is a good idea but first we need to find out where she has gone. I'll be back in a second." Justin left the room and went over to the wizard lair and walked in. He hadn't really been in here for some time and so being in here brought some memories back. Justin went over to the bookshelf and searched each book until he found the right book and opened it. He flipped through the pages and finally found the right spell. Justin walked out of the lair, book in one hand and wand in the other. "I think that I've found the right spell." Juliet walked over to Justin and smiled. Justin quickly said the spell so that Juliet could find Alex sooner but no one understood what he had said. After the spell was said, a bright green light shot out of the book and went straight up into the air. The group ran over to the balcony and looked into the sky. The line started turning blue letting them know that Alex is getting closer. "Juliet, why don't you go bring her home."

"You know I will, I'll make sure of it." Juliet turned to Dean and smiled at him. "I'll bring her back safely Dean, don't you worry." She turned back to Justin and smiled. "I love Justin." The two quickly kissed and then Juliet was off. She ran over to the balcony and transformed into a bat and flew off into the air. Once she was as high as the blue stream, she followed it. "Alex, I hope you're ok so that I can hurt you for making Dean miserable." Juliet continued to fly and the closer she got the bluer the line got. "How far did you go Alex?" Juliet asked herself as she flew through the air. She had been flying for ten minutes now and she still hadn't found Alex and then the line got darker quickly. Then a plane flew right by her throwing Juliet off and making her spin in the air. After the plane past her, the line had disappeared. "Oh come on, how did Alex make it onto a plane? Of course that's the only way for her to be this high up except by magic carpet. Anyway, I had better go get her." Juliet flew as fast as she could toward the plane and finally caught up to her and found Alex waving at her just as Juliet was wondering how she would get Alex out of the plane. Juliet sighed and then landed next to Alex. "So Alex, where did you go?"

"I went to Mississippi and I'm exhausted. I took care of one guardian and now I'm onto number two." Alex said still holding onto the plane.

"What are you talking about Alex; Dean has been worried sick about you." Juliet said hoping to get back quickly.

"I'm doing this for Dean and the rest of the world, if I can take out the main zombie dude, then I can make sure that zombies won't hurt anyone and the infection won't spread." Juliet didn't know what else to say and so she picked up Alex and flew off toward the substation. Once they landed Dean perked up and ran over and kissed Alex happily. Dean broke the kiss after about ten seconds and smiled. "Thanks Dean but I didn't actually think that you'd want to kiss me."

"I don't care what you look like Alex, I'm just glad that you're ok." Dean said hugging her tightly.

"Thanks but you may want to wash out your mouth as do I since swamp water isn't something that I enjoy in my mouth." Alex said with a smile.

"What does, oh. I may want to brush my teeth now." Dean then started toward the bathroom.

"I would." Alex said as she followed him.
