Chapter 2 -Confusion Time

'I'm going mad!' thought Keya as she looked around at all the familiar faces that she had only seen before in her imagination. And now she was standing there, watching them with her very own eyes, as if they were real…as if they were actually there…

'Lets go over there.' said Alan, and pointed to the beech tree under which Ron, Hermione and Harry were standing.

'But we'll be seen!' said Keya in a horrified voice.

Alan smiled 'Book traveling isn't like time traveling. We're allowed to be seen. However, I don't think it's wise for us to be seen in this particular situation so we can hide behind those clump of trees.'

Alan and Keya made their way to the trees and hid behind them. Keya could hear the trio's conversation quite clearly from the hiding place.

'We're with you, whatever happens,' said Ron. 'But, mate, you're going to have to come round my mum and dad's house before we do anything else, even Godric's Hollow.'

'Why?' said Harry

'Bill and Fleur's wedding, remember? said Ron.

Keya looked at the three of them and saw Harry look a little startled. Then he smiled a little and said 'Yeah, we shouldn't miss that.'

Keya saw Harry's had close around something in his pocket. All three of them looked very pensive for a minute. Everything seemed to become still.

Still? But everything was too still. It was as if everyone had frozen where they were standing.

'Come on' said Alan, getting out from behind the trees.

'But what's going on?' asked Keya

'The book is over, but we could continue if we wanted to.'

'I don't understand, Alan. Continue what? The story?'

'Yes,' said Alan. He turned and smiled at Keya. 'Have you ever read fan fiction?'

'Yes,' said Keya smiling a little, 'And written some too.'

'Good,' said Alan 'Book traveling is a bit like writing fan fiction, except you're living the experience. You have to be present in your continuation to make anything happen.'

'So you mean, if we wanted to make the story continue right now…we could make it happen?' Keya asked

'Yes,' said Alan 'But it would only continue for us. Book traveling does not change an already written book. It just shows us possibilities.'

'But what's the point of book traveling?'

'I'll tell you' said Alan 'First, we should get back. Touch the travelers mark.'

Keya touched the mark at the same time Alan did. A few seconds passed and then they felt the jerk behind their navels.

Suddenly, Keya found herself back in her kitchen with Alan. They were still holding the book.

'Amazing, isn't it?' asked Alan with a smile.

'Really, you two,' said Charlotte, entering the kitchen. 'You've been reading for the past 15 minutes! And that too at Delta's party. You didn't even answer me when I last called you, Keya.'

'Oh,' said Keya, still a little dazed from her unworldly trip. 'I guess I didn't hear you, mom.'

'Of course you didn't,' Charlotte laughed 'You were in another world, altogether'

'C'mon' said Alan and dragged Keya out of her chair. They followed Charlotte out of the kitchen.

'I still have about a million and one questions' said Keya

'I'll answer them, Keya, but I don't know if I can answer them right now' said Alan. He looked a little worried.

"Why not?" asked Keya. He brain was reeling with the information she had just learned and she needed more answers.

'There are too many people here' said Alan 'I'm gonna need some time to explain things to you and they're never gonna leave us alone for enough time.'

Alan looked down at the book in his hand and turned to Keya.

'Book traveling is quite complicated. When you book travel, you aren't exactly in two places at once. Your body is still in the 'real' world, but it's an empty shell. Your mind is lost in the book your reading. That's why you must be careful when you book travel because you go into a sort of trance.'

'And people in the real world can't reach you?' asked Keya.

'Right' said Alan nodding.

'So when are we…how?' asked Keya. She was still disoriented and confused.

Alan looked at her 'Tomorrow. Meet me at the cove and I'll tell you all I know.'

Keya wanted Alan to answer her questions at that very moment, but she could see it was impossible. Even as they spoke Delta was approaching them with a wide smile on her face.

'Hey,' said Delta as soon as she reached Alan and Keya 'Where have you two been?'

' Reading ' said Alan with a slight smile on his face. Delta rolled her eyes and dragged Alan away. But not before he could hand 'The Half Blood Prince' to Keya and whisper 'Bring this with you tomorrow'.
