Hey guys! How are you?

I was board, so here's a new chapter!

Reviews:

Elementalist: And here's the next chapter!

theWickedNight: Already cleared this up. And yes she does. :D

Elemental Jean: I just have to submit my final English paper and pop over the college for my last Chem exam, and I'll be all done! Also, take a tall glass of water and lay down for a few hours.

I hope you all enjoy!

(BTW, you all get an IRL conversation between Ani and Muh(da Author)!)

HUSKY'S POV

I gently pressed on my sister's shoulders so I could look her in the eyes. "How in the nether did you escape?"

Night blushed. "That's a story for another day(If you want me to write it, let me know in a comment)." She smiled up at me. I lightly petted her longer hair. To have her back, is a miracle.

There was a sound of someone clearing their throat. I glanced over at the five teens and tweens standing, or in Cole's case, sprawled on the ground, a few feet away. "Oh yes!" I glanced over at my sister. "Night, I want you to meet the kids of Team Crafted."

Night blushed, "Hello."

Cole held up a hand in the universal gesture that he was Okay. "Ow."

I could see my sister's broad grin. "Sorry." She told the sandy-haired teen.

Cole carefully stood. "Don't worry about it. I'm totally fine. Ani beats me like this all the time."

Night gave him a mildly confused look. I swear that Cole looked like he was face-palming in his head. "Ani is my sister." He explained.

"Is Ani the little eleven year old girl in your saddle bag?" Night asked.

Cole blinked. He muttered something unrepeatable under his breath and turned toward his bag. He lifted the flap, "Ani…" He growled threateningly.

There was a 'meep' sound, and a white-blonde girl tumbled out of the bag.

Myself and all the rest of the TC kids, minus Cole and Ani, began to laugh.

The two dragon-lings (why the nether not…) glared at us all. "Shut your mouths." They snapped, simultaneously. Well Ani snapped. Cole gave the abbreviated, unrepeatable version.

Ani stood and wacked Cole on the back of the head. "OW!" He exclaimed.

ANI'S POV

I glared at my brother. "The author wants to keep this rated T! You Cactus Nose!"

Then, there was a roll of thunder and lightning came out of the sky and hit the top of my head. I fell into oblivion.

-oOo-

Darkness was surrounding me, until the sound of someone clearing their throat prompted me to open my eyes. I blinked at the short, strongly-built brunette that was sitting in a big swivel chair before me. "Who in the Nether are you?" I asked.

The brunette ran her fingers through her long ponytailed hair. Her almond shaped, milk-chocolate colored eyes peered out from behind a pair of large, rectangular glasses. "I'm the author."

I looked her up and down. She isn't much to look at… "I know. I'm not much to look at…" The author stated, voicing my thoughts to the letter. She gave me a slight smile. She had lightly tanned skin, and the general bone structure of an east-Indian princess. The only thing that saved her from looking exactly like one was a bit too square of a jaw (a/n, actually true). "Anyway," The author interjected. "Maybe I should introduce myself. I'm *bleep* *bleep*, but you can call me The Author. In fact, don't ever use my real name. Just call me The Author."

I blinked. "Ok…?" I was a bit apprehensive, but I knew I could trust her. Well duh I could trust her. She is basically my creator.

"I bet you are wondering why you are here, eh?" The Author asked.

I nodded. "Yeah."

The Author handed me a thick book. "This is the Book of Infinite Knowledge. It can only be opened during the direst need; and it will only show the information that is most needed. So, its powers are not abused."

"Huh." I muttered. I tried to open the book, but it was like it was super-glued shut.

"Look," The Author said. I looked up and met her gaze. "I'm going to need to send you back now. I can only hold the world frozen in time for so long, after all."

I stood, clutching the Book of Infinite Knowledge to my chest. "Ok… Will we talk soon?"

The Author gave me a broad grin. "In an Author's End Note, maybe; No guaranties, yet…"

I smiled back. "Ok. See you around."

The Author waved a hand and Ender-like particles drifted in its wake. "Good luck."

-oOo-

I opened my eyes to see my brother staring down at me. "Hi." I stated.

Cole grinned, and looked up at the people standing in my peripheral vision. "She's alive."

I sat up quickly, practically clocking my brother on the nose. "Of course, I'm awake, you slime nub. I was only out for…" At that I paused. My internal clock was all messed up. 'Five minutes' was whispered in my ear. "Five minutes." I repeated. Thank the Aether for the Author (a/n, alliteration).

"So…" I asked, dragging it out. "What are you going to do with me?"

Cole sat back on his heels, "Well, I could take you back to Mom and Dad, or you could come with us…" My brother trailed off and glanced at his friends.

There was a chorus of 'go back's from everyone, except from Uncle Ian, Aunt Night, and a short, floating, glowing figure hovering above us. She cleared her throat, and everyone jumped. "Hai, Author!" I exclaimed.

The Author nodded to me, but I couldn't see her face through the bright light that surrounded her. "Ani comes with you." Was all she said before vanishing in flash of lightning.

I gave the people who had voted to send me home a smirk. "What The Author says, goes."

There was a collective groan from all of the teens. Uncle Ian, uncle Husky and aunt Night just snickered.

Herro! I'm down here now!

So, how did you like the 'new character' that I introduced. All those who have submitted OCs: don't worry. Next chapter will have at least one. I promise.

Ok, I also have a minor announcement. I am only going to be putting up a new chapter after 5-8 reviews have been posted on the previous chapter. It'll give me time to write up the next chapter(s), and give you guys something to be excited for.

OK, I think that's it...

Ani: Eh-hm.

ME: Oh, HAI!

Ani: Hi. *peers at readers* So that's what your readers look like?

ME: Yup.

Ani: *giggles* I like the handsome one.

ME: -_-' Um...Aren't you a little young to be thinking of boys?

Ani: Well, you are planning on paring me with Gratien, sooooo...?

ME: Shhhh... No spoilers.

Ani: It's already recorded.

ME: *stares at camera* Fudge.

Whelp. Dat was spoilers.

ANYWAY! I hope you all have a wonderful day, cause I definitely will! Woooo!
