Hyacinth and Devon opened the door to the prince's Chamber.
Violet fire shone bright in the room. A short man was leaning against the wall, his eyes covered by one hand.
Devon realized the light was becoming steadily brighter. It took her a few seconds to realize that the moment she had entered the room she had also began to glow.
Just like Alanna was.
"Devy?" Hyacinth asked, "What's going on? I can't see."
Devon was startled by Hyacinth's calm voice and steady hand as she gripped Devon's shoulder to jolt her out of the strange trance.
"Hyacinth, I'm not sure what's wrong but I need to go get Gary. You remember me telling you about him don't you?"
"Yes." Devon heard the door opening to accompany Hyacinth's voice. "I'll bring him here."
The door closed.
Devon turned back to the other three people in the room. The short man was now slumped against the wall, both hands covering his eyes.
Alanna was there surrounded in purple fire and leaning over the third person, a dark haired young man, who laid in bed.
Devon realized that they weren't alone. For some reason she had the feeling Thom was here as well, adding to the light around them.
Silent, but noticeable. Definitely Thom.
Devon took several steps toward Alanna, who seemed not to have noticed her.
As she walked she felt herself leaving her body in way. She fell into a dark well.
At the bottom Alanna and the Dark haired boy where separated by a man in a dark cloak.
"Devy?"
Devon looked up. Thom was standing beside her.
"Thom? What's going on?" She asked
"I'm not sure. All I know is I felt Lana doing something dangerous and then my magic, and me for that matter, where dragged out of my body and then here."
"Pleasant." Devon said dryly. "I think we should go help Lana"
At his nod they strolled toward the dark cloaked man and Alanna who had yet to see him. As they entered the field of purple fire surrounding Alanna it brightened and all the people, Alanna, the dark haired boy and the cloaked man, turned around.
"Devy? Thom? What are doing here?!" Alanna screamed.
Or at least it looked like Alanna. The voice sounded like a woman not a little girl who dressed like a boy.
"Where here to prevent you from doing something stupid." Thom said in a deep voice very unlike his own.
"Yes and to keep you from exposing your secrets to every one. I do believe the short man outside fainted."
Even she sounded older Devon thought startled.
"Miles fainted?" The dark haired boy asked with amusement, although much like Thom, he sounded like a full-grown man.
"Yes and I sent Hyacinth to get Gary. We will more than likely need his help."
"Once again you assume that I can't do anything by myself." Alanna growled.
"Oh don't you to start!" Thom ordered "Lana finish your business with creepy guy and lets go. I'm going to late for class."
Alanna stuck out her tongue but turned to the cloaked man. "I'm sorry but you can't take Jon."
The cloaked man looked at all of them, glowing with purple fire. The to the black haired 'Jon' who had the faintest light of blue about him, weakened by illness.
He nodded. Turning away he stopped and took Devon hand. Holding it up he traced the red scar with one pale finger. He dropped it and shook his head. Devon had the distinct impression or wry humor from him.
He melted into the shadowy walls.
The boy called Jon looked at the three siblings.
"Who are you?" His question was asked to Devon and Thom.
Thom smiled. His image faded and some of the brightness of the purple light went with him.
Devon just shrugged and allowed her self to be pulled back by the strange call that had started just moments ago. Just for her. It wasn't magic, but something nicer.
As she was pulled through the shadows she heard Alanna telling Jon it was time for them to return to the land of the living.

Devon opened her eyes to see Gary looking back at her.
"Devy? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"Good. WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU DOING???" He roared, "I almost had a bloody heart attack!"
Devon nodded vaguely "What ever you say Gary." She passed out in his arms.
"Why does thins keep happening?" Gary asked no one in particular.
"I'm not sure but we had best get out of here. The short man is waking up and Alan you said his um... her real name was Alanna?"
Gary smiled sheepishly. He had a feeling neither Alanna nor Devon would be happy that he had told Hyacinth. But it had been the only way to explain.
And she had seemed rather calm about it all.
He hoisted Devon into a more comfortable position and followed Hyacinth from the room.

Mere moments later the short man stood and Alanna passed out cold on the floor.
