Loose Ends
A/N: Alrighty then WarriorofAvalon, this is a nice long, slow chapter. I'm just not used to writing stuff that isn't funny. If you check out my other stuff you'll see it's all funny.

Emily was the first to regain consciousness. She drowsily opened her eyes and asked, "Who's there?" before remembering what had happened. She immediately shook Adriane awake. "Huh?" asked Adriane. "Emily? What are you- oh no! Come on!" she said as she suddenly remembered Kara. "I know!" said Emily. "We've gotta hurry! But these walls are too steep to climb!" "Why isn't Lyra here? Or Dreamer, or Ozzie? Or anyone?" interrupted Adriane. "Can't you feel it?" asked Emily. "There's powerful magic that's throwing of the animals. We have to help them to us!" "Wait!" said Adriane. "Let's try climbing up the walls first." Emily got on Adriane's shoulders, but they still weren't tall enough. Then they both tried climbing up the walls, but they were too steep. "All right," said Adriane. "Let's do it." "For Kara!" replied Emily. "Right. Let's go!" Then Adriane started concentrating on her jewel hard. She stood up. "Come on Emily!" she cried. "All right! Let's do this!" she said as they clasped hands. Then they lifted their hands up and sent a searing bolt of energy into the sky. Then they sat and waited. Suddenly they heard something. Lyra ran up to the edge of the pit. ~Sorry we weren't here, there.~ Adriane cut her off. "Yeah, we know," she said. "Now come and get us!" Lyra swooped down and got Emily on her back, and then got Adriane. ~We have to go get Kara!~ she said. "Yeah," replied Emily. "But where to go?" A quiffle ran up to her. "I know!" it said. "I see the big bad witch, she go thataway!" it pointed to the south. "But why would she do that?" mused Adriane. "That just leads deeper into the woods!" "I dunno," said Emily. "Maybe it's just to through us off her trail. But right now it's the only clue we've got, and we have to follow it!"
~1 hour later~
The girls had been walking nonstop through the forest with Lyra, Ozzie and Dreamer for about an hour, and they were exhausted. "We'll never find her!" said Adriane angrily. "We might as well have no clue at all!" She picked up a stone and threw it. Dreamer raced after it and brought it back. Then he howled. ~Here~ he said. Adriane gasped. "You can talk!" she said joyously. "I thought you were too young to!" She grinned. Then she picked up what she thought had just been a stone. And gasped. "It's Kara's bracelet!" said Emily. "It must have dropped! We've got to be following the right path!" The girls looked at each other triumphantly. Then they continued walking.
~25 minutes later~
They had reached a road. It was a road in a neighborhood, just like their neighborhood. They looked around, bewildered. ~Where could they be?~ said Lyra. ~It must be in one of these houses, but which one?~ Suddenly Dreamer scampered off. "Now where are you going?" shouted Adriane. Emily turned to Lyra. "Lyra," she said, "I think you had better hide. You could really scare someone!" ~Look around~ said Lyra. ~There is no one here to scare!~ It was true. There was no one on the streets. 'They must be at some social event,' thought Emily. "Well, that's a good thing," said Emily aloud uncertainly. "But no wings, okay?" Then she started running after Adraine and Dreamer. She found them near a house that looked like any other. Adraine was covering Dreamer's mouth. "This place is starting to scare me," said Emily. "Where is everyone? None of the house lights are on!" "I know," said Adriane. "It's pretty freaky. But right now we just have to rescue Kara. Look," she pointed to the second story, "it's a light!" she was right. Someone had turned a light on. The girls looked at each other and gulped. "Dreamer," said Adriane softly. "Just how much can you speak?" ~Little~ said Dreamer. "Can you warn us if someone is coming?" asked Adriane. ~Yes~ replied Dreamer. "Could you stand guard?" asked Emily. ~Okay~ said Dreamer. ~Dreamer stand good ward!~ The girls smiled, then nodded to each other and barged into the house.
A/N: Okay, it could have been longer, but I don't like to drag stories out. Sorry it took so long.
