A/N: Sorry that the last chapter was so dry :x And yes, it was supposed to be head, not heat. Also, sorry to take so long and that this chapter is short :x Been a bit busy with life.

Cisty and I ended up waiting for Brath to get to Shattrath and, like he said he would, he brought Horde with him, including that insufferable warlock. I was kind of hoping to maybe see some more familiar faces from Booty Bay, but…yeah. All new faces. Aside from the warlock, of course.

It's been maybe two weeks since we left Shattrath, but it feels like it could have been years. Um. Cisty…you might think that she'd be intimidated traveling with so many enemies, right? But she wasn't. And when that warlock made some snide comment, she challenged him to a duel and…I think that's one of my bright spots right there. Seeing him get his butt kicked.

Anyway, the Horde kind of kept to themselves. There's four of them, aside from Mr. Blackheart, but I can't remember their names to save my…

I don't think they all gave me their names anyway. Even though their tauren guy could tell that I wasn't like the humans they were used to fighting, they're still not super keen on helping me.

I'm sorry, I can't…

I wonder if they said screw it and went back…?

Um…

So, I guess I should address the big issue, right?

I'm back in my world. The portal thing worked. They didn't want to come through. The Horde. They want to wait for back up.

But what they don't get is it has always been a matter of time, right? The Burning Legion isn't just sitting back waiting for us to come to them. They have an agenda. And now that they have Nicolas and Michel and everyone? Fizz? Neesera?

I don't even know if they're alive.

Brath dragged his feet and it took almost a week of waiting before he showed up and then it took time to fly to this stupid portal. And when we got here, the camp was trashed and that stupid troll can't tell how much of it was done by wild animals versus something else. He's like a hunter or something, so he's supposed to know how to tell these things, but he can't and I don't know where they took them or how to get anyone back and…

It gets worse.

Well, common sense would say that they went through the portal right? Like, maybe they had to flee through there to escape or something. So I thought we should go through to look for them.

But then there's that bad blood between the Horde and Alliance. They're not gonna go charging in, risking their lives for their enemies. Worst case scenario, they just lost some people they'd have to kill later, right?

And Cisty wants to hang back, too. To get a feel for the situation. Newsflash. We have a feel for it. Our friends are in danger and need help. What more feel do we need?

The, um, tauren guy. He's a shaman, like Neesera. He did something with the fire and it was hard to breathe because the smoke billowed out and swirled all around the camp and then these images showed up. Nicolas was showing Michel how to use a blade so that he could defend himself. And Eric and Fizz were talking and Neesera was meditating and Clara was cooking dinner, I guess.

And then they all looked up, toward the portal.

And…

Maybe he didn't realize this is Azeroth? Or he thought they were working for the demons or…something. It doesn't make sense. Why would he…?

I know that Michel's dad said there were traitors, but…how can anyone work for the creatures destroying our world? How?

Nicolas got up, saying something, and offered his hand to him…and he just attacked him. He attacked Nicolas and then there were demons and everyone was fighting.

And Eric turned into a werewolf. Which I guess explains the stripping down to run through the woods and sniffing my clothes. But…

It would figure…the images faded out before we could even see who won the fight. But, you know, I lose anyway, right?

Because the guy who walked through the portal and led the demons?

It was Greg.
