Chapter 14! This is officially longer than Masquerade now, I think. But that's not quite important right now. What is important is that you enjoy this chapter! =D

~One Day Later~

Sam's POV

"So this is where we're gonna meet them?" John asked, looking around at the completely blank space in front of us. It looked as though a field had been there at one point, but that field was long gone. Now, there appeared to be metal on the ground where grass should've been. It was weird.

"Yep," Mr. Smith answered.

"Why does it look so," Danny began asking, but found it hard to find a word to describe this place.

"It's because we're looking in to the Spirit Dimension," the Commander explained. "Things in that Dimension can be really strange sometimes."

"But all we need to do here is get our friends back," Danny said with determination. "Who wants to give whom directions?"

"I'll do it," I said. I closed my eyes for a second to try to fall back into whatever I'd felt last night. "Cathy? Are you there?"

Cathy's POV

"Yeah Sam? What is it?" I thought back.

We're at the place where the dimensions collide. Are you guys ready to meet us?

"Sam, we've been ready for the past three days."

Oh yeah, I forgot about the time difference…. Anyway, we mapped the way from where you guys are to where we are. So first, you're going to go into the forest to the east, and then just walk straight for a while and you should be there. It looks like a field made of metal.

"Okay. Thanks Sam! You're going to be there if we need help with directions, right?"

We'll all be here.

"Okay. See you soon!" Then I closed off the connection and turned back to my team. "Alright guys, this is it. Let's go home."

John's POV

"How long will it take them to get here?" I asked, watching the horizon line of the metallic field for any sign of them.

"Depends on what they meet in the forest," the Commander said in reply.

"Wonderful," Apollo said sarcastically.

Chris' POV

"So we're looking for a metallic field?" I asked.

"Yep," Cathy replied, leading us through the forest. Although none of the trees had any leaves on them, it was hard to find an easy way around the twisted branches and the roots that stuck up out of the ground.

"I don't think we're far away. I can hear their thoughts without having to do that weird connection thing," Elton said. "They're all wondering where we are."

"Well they need to learn to be more patient," Artemis said sarcastically.

"That or we need better directions," Cathy said back.

"Yeah, let's just ask that tree over there. It looks like it could be very helpful," I replied. The two girls laughed and I think I even heard Elton laugh. But then, the mind reader sudden stopped walking and listened.

"Guys, someone's following us," he said.

"Another werewolf?" Cathy asked, her face losing color fast.

"No. I think it might be…"

"Hey guys. Where are you going?" Sean asked as he walked up to us, seeming to easily conquer the trees.

"Home," Elton replied coldly.

John says that Elton told him to tell us to tell you not listen to Sean. He's evil.

Now there was something you don't hear everyday.

"Why are you going through the woods?" Sean asked.

"Because the Reality Dimension meets the Spirit Dimension somewhere beyond this forest," Cathy said, her tone guarded.

"Is that so?" Sean asked. "Well it's too bad that you won't be getting there." I saw Sean reach for something behind his back, and that's when Artemis hit him with an energy blast ten times more powerful than the one she had shot at the control panel back in Argos' lair.

"Gah!" Sean exclaimed as he was thrust ten feet in the air and thirty feet backwards.

"Run!" Artemis cried. And without any hesitation, the four of us ran onwards to the field.

Danny's POV

"Something's wrong," Sam said, looking worriedly at the field. "That was no ordinary thought, John. Something's going wrong over there."

"Well no duh! When you get a thought telling you to warn everyone that someone's evil, there is definitely a problem," I replied.

"Guys, let's not fight now," Apollo said. "We are so close to saving them now. I'm sure we can beat anything that…"

"Look!" John cried, pointing to the edge of the field. We all looked across to see four figures running at the other end of the field.

"That's gotta be them," Apollo said.

"But why are they running so fast?" I asked, squinting to see if I could see anything chasing them.

Cathy's POV

We were running like the wind. (Or at least that's what I think the expression is.) Sean couldn't be that far behind, and who knew what he had behind his back and was ready to throw at us! But that didn't matter anymore. We could see the others. We were almost home.

"HEY!" Sean's angry voice called from behind us.

"Don't stop!" Artemis cried. "We're almost there!"

"I can see them!" I added. "We're so close!"

We continued to run closer and closer till I could clearly see Danny, Sam, Grandpa, and the others. And when we were about fifty feet away, we stopped, unsure if we could just run back into the other dimension.

"Is it safe?" I called. "Can we just run over?"

"Yeah," Grandpa called back. "Come on!" And as we were about to run over to them, I felt something behind us. Not like, a person or animal or something. But something.

I turned around, and so did Chris, Elton, and Artemis. And I almost wished I hadn't turned, but if I hadn't, I would've been dead. Because right behind us, a huge orange portal had opened. And Sean was standing right behind it.

Remember what the orange portals do? If so, then you know the danger of the situation.
