Hello, and I'm back with another chapter of the New Universal.

I don't own the Companion Quartet.

Enjoy!

Connie took a deep breath. Currently, she was sitting in the police station while Jenny was talking to a police officer, asking about Connie-or, well, "Luna," but yeah.

The officer looked at his computer. "There's no report of a missing child that looks like Luna does. Either it just hasn't gotten out yet, or her parents aren't searching for her yet. When did you find her?"

"Yesterday afternoon," Jenny said.

"Then maybe they think that she's at a friend's house or something like that-but the question is, why isn't she there?" the officer asked, shaking his head. "As soon as we have more information about Luna's situation, we'll contact you. Until then...it looks like there's nothing about her enrolled in any school, so I guess that we'll just have to enroll her in school-temporary, of course. It might be odd since she has no memories, but still. We have to decide on a temporary last name for her-can she take yours?"

"Of course," Jenny said.

"Then we'll call her Luna Jones for now," the officer said, then handed her a paper. "I want you to look after Luna for a little while-at least until we can figure more out about who she's related to, then we'll send her to her real family."

"Alright," Jenny said. "We'll keep an eye out for a call."

"Good," the officer said. "Now, you need to get her enrolled in school, so you should get that done."

"Alright," Jenny said, then looked at Connie. "Let's get going, Luna." With that, the two of them left.

Back at the Jones's place…

"Luna will be staying with us for a little while," Jenny told her husband, Steve. "There's no report of a missing girl anywhere in the area, and none of the neighbors have any idea who she is...so what's going on?"

"We'll figure it out eventually," Steve said.

"She's currently enrolled in the high school-same grade as Abby and Jay," Jenny said.

"Alright," Steve said. "Did she take some kind of test to see if she'd be caught up?"

Jenny nodded. "For a girl without any memories, she's surprisingly smart."

"Huh," Steve said. "Well, then, we'll have to see how all this goes."

Connie listened to all of this, then walked downstairs-she was staying on their downstairs couch since they didn't have enough rooms for her to have one.

As Connie walked downstairs, she searched out with her mind for some kind of mythical presence, and that's when she realized something.

Each of them had a companion species, but the Society hadn't discovered it yet.

Connie looked at Austin-Abby's older brother. He was a companion to Dragons, that was clear. Jay-Connie reached out and brushed his mind-he was a companion to...Thunderbirds! And Jenny was a companion to unicorns. Steve was a companion to phoenixes. Ariel-the oldest sister-was companion to Banshees-similar to Connie's aunt. But Abby...hers was different.

Connie was pretty sure that Abby...was a universal companion.

There's another universal...and I just happened to find my way here? Connie thought, a little surprised-not that she let it show. Since I'm a shapeshifter now...was I subconsciously trying to find a universal? Kullervo had suddenly found another universal...was it really George? Or did he know that another universal was just this far away from everything to do with the Society? If he went after this family, then the Society wouldn't be able to do anything about it, because I don't think they even know. None of them have any companion marks-they've never encountered a creature before. Which means that I'm safe here. Nobody will ever find me...but I should do something to try and help them with the Society. If I find an actual member of the Society, I'll talk to them and ask...but I doubt that'll happen. So, for now, I'll just keep my senses open, and I might end up mentioning it to them about all of this. With that decided, Connie went into Abby's room to see what Abby was up to.

And that's it for this chapter! What did you think?

Sorry if it's shorter-I'm going to start to make the chapters long soon, I promise!

Until next time!
