A/n: Hey, I'm sorry about this, but this will be short. This was just the perfect stopping point. I'm trying to get the next chapter to get out sometime today or tomorrow.
Sorry I keep changing the genres. I just can't decide on the other.
I can't update on Wednesday's. I volunteer at LLC (Lincoln Log Cabin) on those days. Enough of that. Time for the disclaimer:
I own Avalon. HAHAHAHEEHEEHEE! Ah! The people from the asylum found me! Not again… not again… not again… Seriously people, I don't own Avalon.
Previously:
"Moving on…" he spoke hurriedly.
Only she and he alone can save the magic of AvalonNow… We're Going Where!
Emily was rendered speechless, like last time. Her eyes glazed over.
"Hey, Em…Em…Emily…EMILY!" Kara shouted loudly in Emily's ear.
"Owww! That HURT, Kara!" Emily glared at her, lifting her hand to her ear.
"I had to snap you out of it. You looked like you were gonna faint again!" Kara snapped.
"I'm, uh, gonna get some cookies and milk," Ozzie gushed, jumped up, and ran into the kitchen. No one
"I was mulling things over! You can't just expect me to be okay with this right away!" Emily stared in disbelief. Then she continued, "It's a lot to take in. Especially when you scared," Emily added quietly.
"Em, don't worry, you'll have us with you the whole way through." Adriane commented, smiling.
"Thanks" Emily started to say, but was cut off by Ozzie, who came back from the kitchen. He passed out the cookies and mild as he said, "Actually, she can't. If you read the prophecy properly, you'd see the word, "alone" in that last part. She and Marlin have to finish it alone, even though we'll be there in the beginning."
"Well, too bad for the prophecy, because I won't let that happen. Emily needs our support the whole way through. Even if we can't do anything," Zach spoke up. Emily smiled gratefully.
"So, what happened after I, well, you know?" Emily asked embarrassed and took a gulp of milk. Luckily for her, Ozzie cut in there.
"Well, the fairimentals suggested that we all take you back here to wait for you to wake up. They seemed extra eager that we come with you…" Lorren trailed off, thinking. Then he snapped back to reality. "They said, 'Stay with the mages at all times. Stay in the manor. Do not leave under any circumstances until we fetch you.' They told us to tell you that, when they're ready, we're leaving."
Emily spit out her milk, not caring that she got some on her. "What! We'll be starting so soon! But we're not ready! What about Kara, Adriane and my families! Won't they get worried?" She started to hyperventilate. The boys started to scoot away from her as far as possible.
"Em! Get a hold of yourself! It's okay! They didn't say when they were leaving! Besides, we can always call our parents to tell them we're staying," Adriane said as she tried to calm Emily down.
Emily took really big breaths. "Y-you are absolutely right. There's no need for me to freak out like that. I was overreacting." She said this as if she was trying to convince herself that. The boys looked slightly relieved now that she had calmed down.
"I'm gonna call our parents, okay Emily?" Kara said slowly. She got a simple "OK" as a reply. Kara left. No one talked. Ten minutes later she returned.
"Okay, all our parents assume we're sleeping over here for a few days with some friends. We're good." Everyone started to relax. Suddenly, though, they were all ready and alert. A strange unzipping noise came from the library.
"C'mon, guys, let's go. Kara, signal to Lyra that we need her," Adriane commanded. She herself signaled to Dreamer. Dreamer, come up to the manor. We need you.
Five minutes later, three girls, three boys, a mistwolf, a leopard, and a ferret crept up the stairs. When they got to the library door, they stopped.
Adriane whispered, "Ready? On my count, one…"
"Two," Kara whispered.
"Hey, I said on MY count!" Adriane raised her voice slightly.
"No time to argue now, guys!" Emily butt in. "THREE!" They all blast into the room. Kara started to use her unicorn horn without thinking.
"KARA! STOP!" Emily screamed. Three fairimentals stood in front of them.
"Oops, sorry," Kara lowered her horn sheepishly.
"Quite all right, not unexpected," The air fairimental said breezily. "It is time."
"Time?" Emily squeaked out. "It's already time to go?"
"Yes, we must hurry. We do not want to keep the Drake waiting." The water mental gurgled.
Zach and Adriane brightened at this. "I can't wait to see Drake again!" Adriane exclaimed.
"Yes, well then, come, come!" the little pile of twigs rustled. A portal appeared. Emily sighed unhappily. Marlin came over and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Emily. It'll be okay." They heard an "Awww," nearby. Emily glared at Kara while Marlin dropped his arm, blushing furiously. It's strange to watch a merperson blush. A slightly reddish-greenish face is the result. He looked ready for Christmas.
"Shut it, Kara," Emily sang, glaring at her. Kara "shut it" immediately. One by one they went through the portal. They ended up back at fairy glen. The Drake waited nearby.
"Momma! Zach!" they heard him call out as he bounded over. The full-grown dragon was really big.
"Drake! I'm so glad to see you!" Adriane called out as she and Zach rushed over to greet him.
"Now, please hurry because we really do need to be going." The water fairimental explained.
"Please, tell us where we're going," Emily pleaded.
"Certainly," the earth fairimental replied, "You're going to Avalon." Silence.
"WE'RE GOING WHERE!"
