Chapter 13

Star P.O.V./ Video Diary

"I had finally done it. He was there."

"I had successfully gotten Jack through the portal. What, did you really think I was going to leave Jack to get through the portal on his own? NOPE! If I hadn't helped him, nothing would have ever gotten done. I mean, it's not just like he's going to somehow just randomly wander to the portal and magically figure out how to use it! Of course, it still wasn't time for him to meet me. Did I ever mention that Burgess has an awesome costume shop? It has everything!"

"You know,... even though this is a video diary, I feel the need to explain all this stuff. But then again, I know that this video diary won't be my personal journey forever. Maybe someday it'll..."

"Oh! Forgive my sentimentality, back to the story! So Jack was through the portal. Now I just had to see to it that he met the others..."

Star P.O.V.

I had landed a couple of yards away from Jack. Due to the fact that I had more experience with portals than Jack. (And possibly it was partially the fact that he was momentarily stunned from landing on his head) I quickly sprung up and hid behind a tree so that he wouldn't know I was there. I took off my wig, (Thank goodness for awesome costume shops) stuffed it in my satchel, and pulled up the hood of my cloak. From my hiding place I watched him stand up and grab his staff. He surveyed the area around him and uttered what were probably the first words that came to mind. "Where am I?" He then wandered around like a lost little kid. I almost laughed out loud but stopped myself just in time.

I knew he still had to find the others so I quickly started figuring out where everybody was and who was closest. As I figured out that last one- remembering that's why I brought him to this portal- I smiled "Ooooooh, this is gonna be fun." I quickly retreated further back into the trees heading towards the closest of the other three. Letting out, as I did, a ghost of a laugh: Enough to guide Jack in this direction, but not enough to betray my position exactly. This was gonna be so fun.

Jack P.O.V.

I was looking around when I heard the laugh. It came from the left, so I immediately turned and headed that way. As I walked, I thought about that girl, Nia.

While she had been mysterious and annoying, something about her seemed familiar. Something about her eyes, like I had met her before. But of course that was impossible. I haven't exactly talked to that many people in the last three hundred years, and anybody before that would be dead. Maybe she just reminded me of someone I had known before. Ya, that was it. Just reminding me of someone I used to know. It was funny, but I could almost picture that person. Only the memory was muddled, (Like most of them) like looking through frosted glass. Great, just great. Three hundred and Eighteen years and I get hung up on a girl now?! Two girls who I don't even know! And to top it all off, one of then is more that likely dead! Great, just great.

As I was finishing my mental rant, I heard something behind me crashing it's way over here. Before I could react 2 big huge dudes with scars and kinda scary looking swords crashed into me. They looked at me in shock for a moment before bolting like they had an army after them. I stared after them for a second and was about to walk away, when I noticed a satchel on the ground. I picked it up and stared at it for a second figuring that it belonged to those two dudes who'd bumped into me when I heard someone shout.

"Look he has the crown!" I whirled towards the sound and somehow wasn't surprised to find a bunch of guys standing there staring at me. well this day just got a whole lot weirder. Wait are those guys on horses, and wearing armor? What is going on here! Did She bring me to some kinda freaking Renaissance fair!? Once again there was a shout. "Retrieve the Crown at any cost!" Uh-oh, time to run!

The weirdest thing happened next. The lead guy's horse accidentally knocked him off, and instead of going back for him he ran up to me, grabbed the back of my hoodie and tossed me on. He probably figured he could just trot back home with me and that I'd be stuck. I grabbed the reins and tried to steer him in the other direction. He stopped and I gave him a little kick to the ribs. "Come on horsey I just wanna not get arrested." Then it got weirder.

The horse turned his head and looked at me. As he glared at me he noticed that I still had the satchel in my hand. He tried to bite it away from me, and then I jerked it away, and it all somehow dissolved into some kinda bizarre tug-of-war! And to top it all off, he almost THREW ME OFF A CLIFF! Then we were both trying to grab the satchel, and the branch broke, and then we fell. What is wrong with my life?! WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME THAT THE WEIRD STUFF TARGETS! AM I JUST A WEIRDNESS MAGNET OR SOMETHING?!

Thankfully me and the horse landed pretty far from each other and I high-tailed it out of there. I ended up hiding behind a bush next to this ivy covered rock wall. Thankfully, the apparently blood-hound-horse passed by without noticing me. After he had left I came out of hiding, breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to lean on the the rock to try and catch my breathe. And of course I fell.

There was an opening under the ivy. As I opened my eyes and rubbed my aching head I noticed the cave around me and the ivy in-front of me. It must have grown over the mouth of the cave. It was kinda weird that it had grown right over the opening, but what would be the point of someone putting it there? Then I noticed light coming from the other side of the cave. Well, as long as I was in here, (And away from that weird horse) I might as when explore. As I got to the other end I had to cover my eyes. The outside seemed pretty bright after the dark cave.

As my eyes adjusted and I opened then, I found a pretty solid reason for the ivy. It looked like this little mountain was hollow. There was a water fall and a little stream running through a very pretty little field. But I wasn't exactly paying attention to that right now, because there was a giant tower right in the middle of the place! So was that the reason for the ivy? I was gonna find out. I flew up to the window, knocked once, and jumped through. The place was deserted but clean, so someone had been here recently. "Weird." I said to myself.

BAM! Pain blossomed in the back of my head and I fell to the floor like a limp rag doll. I heard a scream and the world went dark.

Hey People of the internet I'm back! Hehe... I'm sorry I haven't updated in awhile and I know that this chapter in no way can make up for that. But hey, you guy's didn't reveiw and help me (points finger accusingly) Hehe.. sorry. I just have a majorly hard time sitting and writing. Writing story's in your head is very different from actually writing things down. Sorry if Jack's totally OOC, I'm not very good at writing the dudes' POV...

Jack: *Mumbles irritably* Can you just get it over with?! I was in the middle of a game!

Me: *Turns to Jack, who is coincidental duct-taped to a chair* Sure, just as soon as you say it.

Jack *sigh* SilverStar Totally owns this story. *whispers* but nothing else...

Me: SHUT-UP JACK! Any ways, please R&R because it-

Anna *Bursts in* I FOUND YOU!

Me&Jack: AAAHHHH!

Kristoff: *comes in breathing hard* Sorry *pant* SilverStar *pant* we couldn't *pant* hold her... *passes out*

Jack: END IT, END IT, END IT!

Me: WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING!

Anna: INTERNET PEOPLE! I'M HEEEEEERE!

Me: GOODBYE AND REVIEW! LATER PEOPLES!

Anna: NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!

Jack: I JUST WANTED TO PLAY MY GAME!
