That which belongs to Tamora Pierce doesn't belong to me.

Our world one week after Susan, Tomy, Kathleen, and Devin disapeard.

A tall man with short hair stepped out of the sheriff's office he sighed it had been a week and there was still no sign of his niece, Susan. He got into his car where his wife was waiting for him.

"Well?"

"Still nothing and we have to go home soon."

"Is there anything we can do?"

"Pray. Pray that we find her or one of her friends."

Corus, Tortal The day after Midwinter

Tomy had been distant for days, ever since seeing Alan kiss Susan, and today he was walking down the hall towards Devin's room he needed some advice. He knocked on the door and when Devin opened the door he walked in to talk to him.

"I was an idot why didn't I tell Susan how I felt?"

"Hello to you to."

"Hi, why am I even here I should be at home with Rachel."

" Wait you like Susan and Rachel?"

"Well..."

Devin didn't get to hear the rest of the answer because just then Tomy got caught in a ball of silver light and was carried back to his home.

"Tomy where are you?... Tomy, TOMY!"

"What's all the yelling about? What did Tomy do?"

"He disapeard Kat, vanished into thin air!"

"Ok what really happened?" Kathleen said laughing then she saw the look on Devin's face. "You aren't joking, are you?"

"No, what are we going to do?"

"Well first we have to tell Sue. Then we should probably tell Alanna or King Jonathan or someone like that."

Devin nodded and followed Kat down the hall in search of Susan.

They found her talking to Aly who was getting ready to return to the Copper Isles.

When they told Susan her eyes went wide. I hope he's ok and that he is at home and not trapped in a nother book's world. I could just imangine him in Narnia. At that last thought Susan grinned.

"Are you happy your friend disappeard? What if he ended up in an other world? What if..." Kathleen was interupted by Susan saying

"What if he ended up in Narnia? Thats why I was grinning. Anyway he probably ended up at home."

"Have you told Jon or Numinair? They should probably know after all." interjected Aly

"No we were going to do that after we told Sue."

"Then you should probably go."

Kathleen and Devin went in search of Numiar while Susan and Aly went to look for Jonathan. They found both of them in Numinair's work room. Devin explained what happend to the two men. When Devin was finished both Jon and Numiar looked like they were deep in though. Jon was the first to break the silence that followed Devin's explination.

"So apparently you are here for a reason and when you have done what you need to you will return home."

"How did you reach that conclusion?" asked Devin

"Well how else would you explain your still being here you were just as close to the portal as Tomy was."

"It also says that the portal will open it's self into your world again." added Aly thought fully.

"Does that mean someone else could get transported here from our world?"

"It is possible." answered Numiar

Our world 3:00 p.m. the day Tomy reappeared.

Tomy fell throught the portal and landed on a lawn. He got up and brushed the grass off of his shirt he looked behind him and saw that the portal hadn't closed yet. He went up to the house and knocked on the door to his suprise Susan's mom answered the door she let him in and they talked. When Stan Sue's uncle got home he was happy to see his niece's friend and hear that she was ok. He explaind that his children were out side playing in the yard. Tomy looked out and saw that they were right next to the portal. He jumped up and ran out to stop them before they got sucked in.

So that's it I hope to update soon but Tuesday is Backstreet day. So Tuesday I will probably be to busy listing to my new CD to do anything so it might take me a while.
