We finally reached chapter eight! Oh and for the choice #1, I added a little bit more for the summary, but I won't tell you anything because I'm feeling a little evil today.*laughs evilly* maybe ill tell you later. And a little surprise is waiting for you in this chapter or the next chapter. R&R!

Chapter VIII: Unexpected.

"And then, we stopped a war that was supposed to destroy the entire fairy race." Kara jumped up and down. "I mean, a war!" she said.

"Alright Adriane, "said Emily. "It's your turn." They turned around to Adriane, who was sitting away from both of them, tuning her guitar.

"I didn't do much." She said, her eyes never wandering away from her guitar.

"Come on Adriane." Wailed Emily and Kara. "There must be something you did that was good."

"There was." Dreamer said.

"There was?" everyone except Adriane looked at him.

"Did Zach-" started Kara but was cut off by Adriane.

"No." Adriane looked at Kara, smiling evilly. 'You will never know."

"Okay." Kara said. "So he didn't do the you-know-what or the you-know-what. What did you four do?"

"If you promise to wear black for a week, I might tell you." Adriane gave Dreamer a sneaky smile and Dreamer returned it.

Kara saw them and couldn't resist anymore. Who knew what had happened? And the smiles that Adriane, Dreamer, Drake and Zach were always giving each other, it seemed that something big had happened when they were traveling. Kara wanted to know. Her curiosity took over. "Fine. I promise to wear black the entire week."

"Write it down." Said Adriane in a sickeningly sweet voice. She gave Kara a piece of paper and a pen. "And don't forget to sign it."

Kara took the paper and pen and started to write down the words Adriane was telling her to. It looked something like this:

I Kara Davis promise to wear all black for a week so that I can know what Adriane, Zach Dreamer and Drake were doing when they were traveling to the frozen tundra.

Kara Davis

"Okay. Now tell me what you were doing." She said after she had finished.

"You have to wait till the end of the week to know." Said Adriane.

"Emily! She isn't being fair!" screamed Kara, pointing at Adriane.

"Adriane, tell us. And stop torturing Kara." Said Emily.

"Whatever." Adriane said. "We met another dragon and her rider and I tortured the rider to death for no reason at all while the others acted like it was completely normal. And in the end he said he needed six people who were going to help him save his world. And so I made little balls appear around his head and they will explode when he finds the people he is looking for, but he has to know it's them."

When she had finished, she saw that Emily's and Kara's mouths were hanging open. "Another Dragon rider." Whispered Kara. "We have to get back to Aldenmor." She squeaked. "Kara to D-flies. Kara to D-flies. Do you read?" seven dragon flies popped out of the thin air and started to circle around Kara.

"Kee-Kee!" squeaked a golden one.

"Hi there Goldie." Said Kara. "Alright D-flies, attention! We need a talk only portal to Aldenmor, so start spinning."

The tiny dragons joined hands and started to spin. The portal to Aldenmor appeared, with Marlin, the mer-prince's face looking out the other end. "HI Emily." He said. Then looked at the rest of them. "Why did you call me?"

"Did Zach tell you anything about his time traveling across Aldenmor?" Asked Kara.

"He said that we have to find out for ourselves." Said Marlin "and that it's not what we think it is." He looked suspiciously at Adriane.

"What are you looking at?" Said Adriane, returning his stare.

"Nothing." Marlin said. But he was still looking suspiciously at her. "Something happened." He said after a while. "Something big."

"You got that right." Replied Adriane. They were having a staring contest. "But like Zach said, it's not what you think it is."

"Um you guys," said Emily in a small voice "Please stop doing that." Adriane and Marlin looked at her. "Alright. Pretend that didn't even happen and continue with whatever you're doing."

Just then, the picture became blurry. They only had a few minutes before the portal closed.

"Give me a clue!" Said Marlin.

"The clue is that there was more than three people involved." Adriane said without hesitating. The portal closed completely.

"Well that went nicely." Kara said. "Can you make another portal? And make it go to Zach."

The mini dragons started to spin. Soon they could see Zach on the other side of the portal.

"Hi everyone. How are you?" He said, smiling.

"Hi Zach." Said Kara. Adriane gave her a look that plainly said what did you do that for? Kara gave Adriane her best I-am-better-that-you-that's-why look.

"What did you do that for?" Asked Zach, who could only see Kara now and was oblivious to the 'argument' Kara and Adriane were having.

Kara was so shocked (don't ask me why she was shocked) that she fell off the chair she was standing on, so Zach could see Adriane and Emily.

"Hi Adriane." Said Zach, smiling at Adriane. "Hi Emily." He added.

"Hi Zach." Said Adriane, getting close to Emily (Emily was the closest to the portal).

"Why did you call me?" he said.

"I don't know, but Kara said that we had to go back to Aldenmor so we made the 'preparations' and we're ready. I think we can go through the portal." Adriane said quickly.

"Yeah." Said Emily.

"But we have a problem." Adriane said. She walked over to Kara. "Fairy princess out cold." She said loudly. She said a spellsong that Emily and Zach couldn't hear, then tried to drag Kara to the portal. That is, tried to. Unfortunately, Kara was too heavy for her. Luckily, Emily helped and they went through the portal, dragging Kara behind them.

"I already sent a message to Lorren and Marlin." Said Zach.

"Um Zach…." Said Adriane.

"What?"

"How does a portal close?"

"It gets smaller and smaller and slowly vanishes."

"Are there any exceptions to that?"

"Like what?"

"Like the portal getting bigger and bigger instead of smaller and smaller and not vanishing."

"I don't think so."

"What happens when the portal gets bigger an bigger and doesn't vanish?"

"That means that another portal has opened at the same place. Why are you asking all these questions?"

"Because of that." She pointed to where they thought the portal to Ravenswood had been vanishing. Instead, they saw another one in its place.

"Anything could come out of there." Said Zach quietly.

They looked at one another. "Go for the trees." Said Adriane.

They ran to the nearest group of trees and hid as best as they could. They knew that something was going to come out of it.

How do you like it? Sorry it's so short but I thought that it was a good place for a cliff hanger. Please review.
