Chapter Four

After trading in the document with a map pointing to the direction to the picture of the girl, Alex flashed herself, using a Sorcerer spell, to the world where she was forbidden.

Looking upon the mysterious world was fascinating to her. It was like a huge city of buildings and flying cars and roaming people everywhere.

Alex stood in shock, observing everyone living their normal lives in this world. It was definitely different than the Wizard World.

"Hi!"

Alex gasped at the young teenage girl, with dark brown hair standing in front of her with a big smile on her face.

Alex turned her head in either direction, thinking that she couldn't possibly be talking to her, but obviously was wrong.

"I can see you," the girl said.

Alex's heart had stopped and she knew that she could no longer use the cloak for protection. She eventually removed the hood of the cloak and stood their in silence.

"Where did you get that? It must not be very strong magic if I was able to see you so easily," the girl responded.

"No, I guess not. I saw it at a local store, and thought to try it out," Alex lied.

"Well, I hope you can get your money back, it wasn't really smart shopping."

Alex just smiled.

"I'm Janet by the way."

"Alex."

"It's nice to meet you Alex. Are you new in town? I don't recognize you."

"There are other towns in this world?" Alex wondered.

"Of course, didn't you know that?" Janet questioned.

"Um, yeah, of course. I was just making sure you knew," she replied with her voice conveniently low.

"Well, hey, if you're new here then allow me to show you around," Janet offered.

"Um, I'm actually in a hurry. I'm searching for someone," Alex admitted.

"Who?"

Alex panicked. "My…uh…cousin! Yeah, we're close, but ever since she moved, I, uh, found it difficult to find her."

"Oh, yeah, I totally understand," Janet spoke. "But if you ever need me, just call."

Alex watched her as she held her wand out in front of her. Nothing happened. She grew confused.

"You're supposed to tap wands," Janet whispered.

"Oh yeah!" Alex spoke out, reached for her wand as she touched the tip to Janet's and watched them glow.

"Okay, well, I'll see you later," Janet said as she flashed away.

Alex wondered what the tap of the wands had done. Perhaps that was a way of teleportation; like a human would give numbers out for communication. Alex hoped Janet wasn't planning on popping in any time soon.

"Hey Harper, where's Alex?" Jerry asked a few minutes after Alex had gone through the portal.

"Uhm," Harper panicked. "She's at my house."

"Why?" Teresa questioned.

"Because…we're having a sleep over."

"Without you there?" Jerry noticed.

"Yeah, well I'm on my way right now except I'm talking to you people. So if you don't mind, I'll be going now," she replied, walking past the two adults and headed home, not planning on showing her face for a while.

Alex had thrown out the cloak after figuring out that its magic was not powerful enough to hide from a Sorcerer. She learned that she fit well into the environment for no one expected her to be some sort of Wizard spying on their kind on the search for one in particular. She'll never know what hit her.

"Hmm, according to this map, she's somewhere in this building," Alex said to herself as she looked up at the large floating building before her. The technology convinced her that this could be the future, but her mind was not falling for it. "But how do I get in?"

"By using magic of course."

Alex turned in surprise. "Oh! Gosh!"

Janet stood only two feet from her. "You do know how to use the new levitating spell, right?"

"Um, well we haven't perfected it yet, how does it go again?" Alex said, hoping Janet wouldn't suspect anything.

"Oh right!" She instantly said. "I almost forgot that it was first made here so it must be taking a while for everyone else out there to learn it."

Alex sighed in relief.

"Okay, well it's not too difficult, but you have to think as light as a feather. With this spell you can make any object, even yourself, float from the ground," Janet explained. "You may not know this, but that spell is what's keep everything afloat around here, it powers the city."

Alex nodded as she observed many cars floating passed as well as Sorcerers as if they were superheroes.

Janet then demonstrated the spell by closing her eyes and standing perfectly still. Eventually, she was lifted into the air as if gravity passed right through her.

"So you don't say a spell?"

"No!" Janet said immediately. "We don't chant spells here. Why, do you?"

"No!" Alex called out, looking down, concentrating. She took a deep breath and waved her wand. She began lifting off the ground very unsteadily but firmly. She quickly made it to the door before she completely fell from the sky. "Thanks again."

"No problem, just remember, I'm always here." And with that, Janet flashed away again.

Alex took a deep breath. "Good to know," she said to herself as she walked into the building.

"Yes young lady? What can I do for you?" The woman behind the counter asked.

"Yes, I'm looking for this girl," Alex said, holding up the map that showed the photo of the Sorcerer she was seeking.

"Oh, miss Sierra," the woman said with a smile.

"So you know her?"

"Yes, she lives in room 420," she instructed.

"Great, thank you," Alex said with a smile as she walked down the hall. She turned when she once again was full of confusion. "Um, no elevator?"

The woman began laughing. "Oh, we don't have elevators here, child! Why, do you?"

"No!" Alex repeated. She sighed, holding out her wand then floating through the open door where an elevator would be. Seeing no floor to land on she grew nervous of falling. As she got higher, she got more scared.

Finally reaching the fourth floor, she ran to the other side of the wall in awe. This place is so exhilarating, she thought.

She then began walking down the hallway until she got to room 420. She knocked on the door and waited but no one answered. She then used her wand to open the door and slowly enter. Big mistake on her account.

Suddenly the door was shut behind her and a light was cast onto her body. Everything went dark.
