"LET ME GO!" I cry out, struggling to break free of my father's grip. He seems not to notice, flying farther and farther away from the forest.

Suddenly, a trick that Mother had taught me flashes through my brain. I go completely limp, my hands nearly brushing the ground. As expected, Father pauses, loosening his grip. I push myself out, racing towards whatever had attacked Mother.

Cassia, you are needed in Sector 4P. The all-too familiar beeping and voice fills my head. Not now, now now... I silently plead, and hope that Amber and Sky can wait for a little longer.

I only manage to fly a bit farther before I feel myself fading away, being pulled from this dimension. I hear one final growl before the exterior of Amber and Sky's home fills my vision.

Sighing, I walk forward, knowing that whatever was back there will have to wait until my time here is finished.

I walk up to the door, ringing the doorbell. Not too long after, Sky's smiling face greets me. "Perfect timing!" She says. "Dad left for his trip, and we were starting to get bored. Come on in!" With that, I'm practically dragged into the house.

We walk into the living room, Sky grabbing some chips along the way. Amber is waiting for us on the couch, holding the remote. "Cassia! You're here!" She motions for me to sit, and I do so, closely followed by sky. Amber presses a button, resuming whatever they were watching.

"What show is this?" I ask. Maybe I can take my mind off of what was happening in my home dimension.

"Supernatural" Amber replies. "You've never seen it?"

I shake my head. "What's it about?"

Sky suddenly leans over and grabs the remote, finding the first episode. "No time to explain just watch this it'll explain everything you'll love it I promise!" She's talking faster than I had ever seen.

The show was interesting, but the tension did nothing to ease my worry.

Nyx, your time is over. I barely suppress a sigh of relief at the voice. "I have to go" I say, standing up. "Thanks for letting me in!"

"No problem!" Amber smiles. "You're gonma watch more Supernatural with us when you come back, right?"

"Sure!" I tell them. I walk out the door, and the scenery of my home dimension fills my vision once again.

I suddenly hear growling, and I turn around. I reach for my dagger, but it isn't there. There's no hope of hiding, and it's too late to try to run.

Whatever it is, it came for Mother, and it looks like I'm its new target.
