Dedicated to my cousin Rowena who the main character (Omi's daughter) is named after and to my cousin's son Dean who was just born.

Chapter 1. Kidnapped

I woke up. My head hurt so much. I looked around the dark room. Where was I? The room was so dark I could barely see the table two feet away for me. The only source of light was from the window which was covered by what seemed like a black curtain. I heard footsteps and a voice coming towards me. Someone was coming! I didn't know what to do. Hide? But where? When the door opened I froze with fear. The voice said, "Good your up." I didn't know what to do so I forced the question out of my mind. Who are you? "Me ,asked the voice , "that's not important yet. From the sound of the deep voice I could tell it was a guy. I wanted him to come into the light so I could see him, but he just said , "My servant will bring you your lunch soon." Then he slammed the door shut and locked it. Lunch? What time was it anyways? I sat thinking for awhile but my curiosity rose and I decided to explore the room. There was a dark blue curtain that seemed like black from afar, a small circular table in the middle of the room, a velvet couch, and a queen sized bed. I wondered how all this stuff could fit in this crowded room but I had to concentrate. What had happened? How did I get here? I walked over to the bed and sat down. I tried to think. Hmmm….I remember my house . Ya I remember reading my book and then I heard a noise and looked around. Then I remember something appearing behind me, A portal! And me being sucked in! Then I fell and fell till I hit the ground. Oh it was such a blur! I tried focusing my mind again. Ummm… Then someone started chasing me I didn't see who but I tripped then I remember everything going black. The guy chasing me must be the one that locked me in here.
I lied down on the bed trying to remember what happened after me falling but it was no use. Oh no I just remembered today was the Xiaolin reunion for my dad and his friends. DAD! Where was he? Is he trying to find me? A million questions were racing through my mind. I had to go! I had to get back to my parents somehow! I started banging the door trying to knock it down but it was no use. Then I realized it. Oh my God, how could I be so stupid? Tsunami Strike, Water! But the door still didn't break. Not even a scratch. The door opened and the guy walked in and INTO THE LIGHT! IT was CHASE YOUNG! He said, "Hello, Rowena. Why did you kidnap me you LOSER! He seemed displeased by this remark. He said, "I kidnapped you to lure your father in. Why? I thought you didn't care about him anymore because he was to old now! He laughed at this saying , "I though you would know by now that that portal you got sucked into was a time portal. A time portal? Was he telling me the truth? "What year is it?", I asked. "2005",he replied. But…but that means my is dad is my age.. "Precisely", he said grinning. I could feel my heart beating faster and faster. He looked pleased with himself. I just wanted to tear that smile off his face. He handed me a plate of food and said it was my lunch. I tried to throw it at his face but he quickly dodged it. He then slammed the door shut and locked it. I had to escape! I had to warn my dad but would he believe me? Would he believe me if I said I was his daughter from the future? I wouldn't. I guess I just have to hope that he would trust me. But how would I escape?
