"Why do you guys need my help? And by the way, I dont even believe that I have magic. If I do, what good is it to me if it hasnt showed itself yet? How exactly are we going to get to Winding Circle anyway? How......*trails off when she notices Niko is giving her a stare that says oh dear lord, why do I always get the curious ones?*

"What question would you like me to answer first?"

"Well, I want to know what kind of magic I have, exactly. I mean would you even know? If you didnt how would I find out what they are? Also, if you dont know, exactly how........*trails off again as he gives her another look*

"I am not exactly sure what all your powers are but we do know that you have it and they are extremely strong. We also know that you are somehow connected to Briar, Tris, Daja and Sandry. That is how we found you. There was a sliver of silver light, that was so small it took us this long to see it going from all of them and connecting into a tiny bit larger strand. We followed it until as far as we could but it led off into the kitchen and then kind of disappeared so I sat down and meditated. I can tell you Dedicate Gorse was not happy about me sitting in the middle of his kitchen. I am not sure how I got here but I think it has something to do with you wanting to see us badly enough to bring me here. As for how we are getting back, I am not sure of that either, but I think we can find out. I knew that you had magic because of the connection between the four and you, and then when I saw you I keep seeing this silver thing out of the corner of my eye, and whenever I tried to look at it directly, it wasnt there. It was like I was learning how to see magic again, and I must admit that it is very frustrating."

"Well, that explains why you were only looking at me out of the corner of your eye. I admit it gave me the willies. Anyway, why do you guys need my help, of all people? I am not exactly the most experienced or anything. Come to think of it, I have no experience whatsoever. So why me?"

"Well somebody or something has been sucking all the power out of everybody, even the weakest mages. The only reason I know is that a while back I foresaw that this might happen, and when I looked at different mages, their light became dimmer and dimmer. It hasnt been going on too long, but long enough for me to tell that it has been happening."

"Oh, okay. Well how did you even know that I would go with you? I might refuse, you know."

"I think that you are a decent person. Every decent person will come to anothers aid when they are in need. So I guess I am asking you to trust me, and come with me."

*she rolls her eyes* "You know me pretty well. Since I dont have anything else to do, might as well go with you." *suddenly gasps* "What about my mom? I cant leave her here alone. She is so scatter-brained!!" *she sees the pitiful look Niko gives her* "Well I guess I could write a note saying that I went to my friend's house and they are planning on going to Japantown tomorrow and then spend the night again. That eill give us 2 days at the very most. Is that good enough??"

"It will have to do. Go write the note right now. We dont have much time so we cant waste it on trivial items. I will stay right here."

"Now breathe in and count to 7, hold it while counting to 7 and then let it out and count to 7."

"I know that!!"

"Dont pester me, I didnt know that you knew that." *both begin the breathing exercises. Niko sits just waiting for her to do something to get them back to Winding Circle. She just sits there wishing with all her soul that this would work. They sit there waiting for thee other to do something. She finally relizes that she should probably do something, but what she wasnt sure. She decided to go back to wishing they were at Winding Circle but was more specific his time. She wished that they were in the kitchen. There was a little tiny pop and then total blackness surrounded the both of them. Then even more suddenly they were both blinded with colors and light. She could smell wonderful aromas rising all around her. He could feel the floor underneath them. They both knew that they were back in Winding Circle.

A/N-Yeah I left it again but it is okie this time cuz it wasnt a total cliff-hangar. anyway u know what u guys got to do. Write right now........I dont even care if it is flames, just write!! I will write more later.
