I woke up the next morning lying on a plush bed. I stretched my limbs out to hit Cia. It worked. We were in the Rajaram house! The hard part was going to be convincing them we were not a threat.

Cia stirred and muttered something about Justins hair. A pang rang through me and I squeezed my eyes shut. Even in my dream come true, I still had a Justin shaped hole gaping through my chest.

A loud bang ecoed through the room as Cia and I shot up, eyes wide. The bedroom door was wide open, and two incredibly stunning, well build, handsome, gorgeous men were pointing golden blades at us.

"Who are you? "the golden eyed one sneered. I could only assume he was Kishan.

Cia squealed. Her eyes darted back and forth between the men. She stared at Ren momentarily, then locked her eyes to Kishan. "Is… is th-that? Your stupid magic book worked! That is Kishan! I LOVE YOU KISHAN!" she screamed, and then promptly fainted back onto the bed.

A few minutes later and a ton of explaining, I was sitting in the one and only peacock room with Mr. Kadam, Kelsey, Ren, and Kishan. Nilima sat gracefully on the desk as Kadam started more questions. I was getting quite annoyed, and Cia wouldn't speak, or make eye contact with Kishan.

"May I ask your names?" Mr. Kadam started.

"I am Brittney and this is Cia." The room went silent for a moment. I think they were expecting a longer answer. I guess I did kind of owe it to them.

Kelsey straightened herself, pulling herself slightly out of Kishan's arms. It was almost as if she was fidgeting. Her dark brown eyes darted between us. She was being cautious. Maybe we could get along… later of course.

"How did you find our establishment?" Mr. Kadam cleared his throat and continued the inquisition.

"Well," I sighed. This was going to be fun. "To start off, we know about your, ah, tiger friends." I smiled sheepishly behind downcast lashes. Kelsey took a quick intake of breath, but that was her only reaction. "Don't freak, we won't tell. Second. We got here through a magic book."

Kadam seemed very interested in the notebook. I tried to brush him off. I wasn't sure I was ready to explain how it worked. Not yet. Kelsey would try to lighten the mood every so often. She would ask about our family or school, instead of, well, the obvious.

"Britt?" Cia whispered. "If this is real, that means you really met Lokesh… we could die." Her face had gone pale, and those had been her first words since she woke up. The mention of Lokesh brought up a volley of more question. Suffice to say, I was grateful for them letting me borrow a spare bedroom.

I fell back onto the plush bed, ready for reality to melt away, when there was a soft tapping on my door.

I am sorry for the short little chapter and lack of updates. A lot of work has been going around. I promise though, stories come out faster with more reviews. I don't care if it is only a small review saying "I read your story" Truth is, every review cheers me up nd puts me in a writing mood. Love you all!
