Chapter 2: hatching surprise
DEMENTION JUMP
"She's still breathing" she heard a male voice say. "I wonder how she got here; it looks like she's been in a fight"
"Let's get her back to the village see what the Hokage has to say about this" Another voice sounded from her left. Slowly she opened her eyes to see four people standing over her. When they noticed her eyes open the three males of the group backed up. The female on her left moved closer helping her sit up.
"Where am I?" she asked when she was fully sitting.
"You are about two miles outside of Konaha" the female said with a smile.
"Konaha? I have never heard of such a place" she said. Thinking back trying to remember what had happened before she woke up here. Gasping she looked around to see if she could find her mother. "My mother did you see her? She was with me when they attacked"
"I'm sorry miss but you are the only one that we found" The man that she took for the leader of the group said. "I think that it would be best if we took you into the village and had you checked out by one of our medic nin"
"Medic nin?" she whispered as she got up to follow them. It seemed that they were taking it slow for her, for that she was grateful. She felt so weak and drained she did not think that she could travel at any faster of a pace.
"If you don't mind me asking, who are you and where are you from?" the Women from earlier asked her after they had walked a while in silence. She could tell that all of the other members of her group were listening in on their conversation. They too must have been curious as to how she got there and who she was.
"My name is Allaya but my mother calls me Laya" she said as she looked around at the trees. They were not so different then the tall and magical trees in the Spine. It made her feel a little more at home being in a place somewhat familiar to her. "I don't know where this is, I have never heard of a place called Konaha in Alagaesia before and I have studied every city on the map"
"It seems that you are a long way from home Laya-Chan" the women said. "For this is not Alagaesia we are in the elemental countries"
At the new information Allaya thought back to what her mother had said before everything went dark. Her mother had said something. Something in the ancient language that she had not had the time to decipher before everything went wrong, but now that she thought back she knew what her mother had done.
"Take my blood may she leave to go to good fortune. May she go forward, to go back. May the stars watch over you, May good fortune rule over you for my happiness for you" her mother had sent her here. Well her mother's magic had sent her here. This is where her mother's magic had thought that she would be safest.
"I think my mother sent me here when we were finely out classed" she said more to herself than anyone else. But it seems like it was heard much the same.
"Your mother? Who out classed you" the leader asked as a huge wall came into view in the distance.
"Yes my mother she is a very strong spell caster" she told them as they continued. "We were on the run from the evil king and the empire. We got spotted and were outnumbered twenty to one"
"Sounds like you and your mother were brave to take on odds that great of a number" the woman said as they walked through that gate. The leader nodded at two men that sat guarding the entrance. "Don't worry we will talk to the leader of our village and see what should be done?"
The group walked into an office, which belonged to an elderly man, leaving Allaya alone not knowing what or how to think. The look in the man's eyes told her that she could trust him; Allaya's mother had always told her to trust her instincts. That they would save her life in the worst of situations.
"Hokage-sama, we found this young girl passed out in the forest" the leader said. "She said that she is not of this world and that her mother sent her here as a last resort in a very outnumbered fight"
The elderly man looked at her taking in her battered cloths that had blood on them. Then the sword that was strapped to her waste and the bow and quiver that was on her back. "Might I ask your name young lady?"
"Sorry I did not mean to be rude my name is Allaya, but you can call me Laya" she said with a sad smile. She had never been around people for long. It had been her and her mother for as long as she could remember.
"Alright Laya-chan, it seems that you are a long way from home" he said with a smile and motioned for her to sit down. "You and your team may leave Kikashi"
"You seem to have had some former training" he said looking her over. "Might I ask what you have been trained in?"
"I have mastered the art of the blade as much as my mother could teach me, I do not miss with my bow" she said. "And I am quite good in hand to hand combat"
"That is good, and I take it you have some form of power behind you" he said with a smile. "I can feel it flowing from you"
"Yes I have been trained in the art of the ancient language of my land" she said thinking back to the years she had learned from her mother. "This language is powerful and dangerous in the wrong hands"
She went on to explain her story and the story of her land. She finished with telling him why she thought her mother's magic had sent her there. The elderly man sat thinking for what seemed like forever but was only a couple of minutes.
"Well from what you have told me it seems that you will be here for a while" he said. "While you are here I would like to have some of my Ninja's train you in our style of fighting and the way of chakra"
She listened to him explain to her what chakra was and how it was used. She had always loved to learn something new. If she was going to be here as long as it took her mother's magic to take her home then she might as well train herself in the way that they fight. It would be an advantage for when she got home.

Allaya had been training and learning in Konaha for about five years now. She had steadily made her way up the ranks of the ninja pole along the way. She now proudly sported the vest of a jonin. The only odd thing that no one could explain is that she had not aged more than what looked like a year since she had been here.
She was a fifteen year old girl in an eleven year olds body. Mentally she was progressing in leaps and bounds but physically she was hardly progressing at all. Sure she was stronger, faster and more agile then she was when she got here but she still looked like a little kid.
"Laya, that will be all. I do not have any other mission for you today" The Hokage said as he dismissed her. As she turned to leave his office a familiar warm feeling spread throughout her body and all was dark again like so many years ago when she had showed up in this world.

"Albus she just appeared here" an elderly voice sounded from her right. "She was not there a few minutes before I came back out of my office"
"She's dressed so strangely I wonder where she is from" another female voice came from somewhere by her feet. That's when Allaya noticed that she was on something soft. She figures it must have been a bed.
Slowly she opened her eyes to see that there were a total of six people around the bed that she was laying on. There were three males and three females standing around her. Slowly she sat up as they all turned to look at her.
"Miss how are you feeling" said an elderly man with long silvery white hair and beard.
"I feel fine thank you" she said looking around at the people staring at her. There was a man with long greasy black hair frowning at her. A man that looked like he could have had dwarf blood in him smiling at her, A slightly plump women with dirt on her nose watching her, an older women with her hair pulled up in a bun and glasses and a women that stood next to her that looked like she could have been a nurse.
"May I ask your name" the older man asked.
"Sorry how rude of me, my name is Allaya but you may call me Laya" she said crossing her legs. "I know that this looks weird, I suppose I appeared out of nowhere and you want to know why?"
"My name is Albus Dumbledore" he said then he turned to the people around him. "This is Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, Pomona Sprout, Filius Flitwick and Poppy Pomfrey"
"It is nice to meet you" she said with a smile. "You are probably wondering how I got here? Well this is a long tale so I think that you should sit down for this"
She tried not to show her surprise when they all pulled out a stick and made chairs appear out of thin air. What surprised her was not the fact that they were able to make thing appear out of thin air, it was the fact that they could do it so effortlessly.
When they were all seated she began her tale again like she had many years ago to the Hokage. This time it was longer because she had to add in the time that she spent in the hidden village. When she was done they were all looking at her with thoughtful expressions on their faces. She did not know if they believed her, but she hoped that they did.
"I guess you have heard this before but it seems that you are a long way from home" Albus said with a smile. "And from what you have told me it seems your mother's last act was to send you places where you could learn as much as you need so that when you returned home you would be able to do something she was not able to do"
"To help over throw the king and get our lands back the way they were when we all lived in peace" she said with smile. "I figured that out years ago, my mother was always looking out for me making sure that I was able to learn as much as I could to defend myself"
"She seemed like a smart women" Minerva said with a smile. "So it seems you cannot leave here to go where you need to go until you have learned what you need to learn"
"That would seem so my dear Minerva" Albus eyes seemed to twinkle as he said this. "How old did you say you were?"
"When I left my home I had just turned ten" she explained to them. "I spent five years in Konaha before I was sent here; the thing is I did not age past eleven"
"It seems that your mother's magic had plans to send you here" the man named Snape said. "You have to be eleven to start school here and that is why you did not age past eleven"
"That would seem like it was the correct answer" Albus said with a smile. "It is summer vacation right now, I would love to have you join my school but I know that you want to get home as soon as possible"
"Yes Albus I have been away from home for far too long" she said looking out the window across from the bed that she was laying in. "I do not know the time difference from the worlds that I have been in and my own, I do not wish to return to find that my world was destroyed by the King"
"Then I will have you start with privet tottering with the professors" he said. "We will try to teach you as fast as we can but it is all up to how fast you learn and how well you take in the curriculum"
"I have always been a fast learner" she said with a smile. "Though I do not think that it would look good if I walked around in cloths from a different dimension. I have all of my stuff in my scrolls from Konaha but I don't think that they would fit in with this world"
"I will have Minerva take you to Diagon Ally to get you some new cloths, everything that you will need for your studies and your wand"
TIME SKIP
Allaya had been at Hogwarts for four years now. She stayed there through the summer working with the Professors and during the holidays so that she could move as fast as she could through the curriculum. She found that some subjects come easier to her than others. She excelled in the four main subjects Potions with Snape, Transfiguration with McGonagall, Charms with Flitwick, and Defense she studied under Snape.
Like before she did not age past a year. Albus had said that it was probably so that she was able to go back to her world with as little complications as possible.
It was currently summer vacation and she was almost finished with her seventh year work. She was told by Albus that she should keep all of her stuff stored in her scrolls because he felt that she would be leaving them soon.
She was heading outside towards the lake to read when she felt the all too familiar heat spread to her body. She smiled and prayed that she would be going home now. With that thought the world around her turned black once again.
She was startled awake by something licking her face. She opened her eyes and looked up to see her mother's horse Trin and her white horse Pinao. She smiled to herself and looked around. She was home but she did not know when. She extended her mind to her horse to see what had happened while she was gone.
To her surprise she had not been gone for more than two days. When she had disappeared and her mother had died her horses made their way home. Allaya looked at herself to see that she looked like she was twelve. Her Dark red hair reached her waist and she was still wearing the cloths that she had on when she left Hogwarts.
Slowly she got up and made her way into her house. It had been years since she had been in her house. Everything looked the same because in her world time had not moved forward as much as it had for her. Looking around she noticed a chest under the couch in the living room was slightly open.
She had asked her mother about that chest a lot as she grew up. But her mother had told her that she would answer her when she was old enough. Now that her mother was gone Allaya was going to find out for herself. Slowly pulling the chest out from under the couch she opened it. In it were a few old volumes of books that Allaya had studied to learn the Ancient language as she grew up. What caught her attention was the tri-colored egg that sat next to them.
Allaya knew what was in the egg, but she couldn't understand how her mother had got it back. In the stories that her mother had told her growing up was that it was stolen. She had told her that the egg that their family had was stolen by the King when the riders where hunted down and killed.
Allaya slowly reached down and picked the egg up. The only thing that she knew about the egg was that it was special. When her mother's Great uncles dragon had given it to them. She had said that the egg was special beyond any egg that was ever laid. His dragon knew of what was to come and she did something that would forever change the future when it hatched.
Sitting down on the couch with the egg she thought over everything that she had been through. She almost jumped out of her seat when she felt something move around in the egg. Softly she took the egg over to her bed and put it on her pillow. She was too tired to stay awake so she curled up in a ball on the center of her bed. She cried herself to sleep. She wished her mother was here to help her understand all of this. But mentally she was an adult and she needed to start acting like one.
A/N: Cliff hanger. Sorry about that. Hope you liked it. Can't wait to hear what you think.
