Hi guys!

So as it is finally holiday season for me but with obviously too much work. I don't know what I am going to do anymore.

One thing is sure. I am going to post this story as fast as I can. Just to inform, 10 more chapters left after this.

Enjoy!

___

TJ decided to go to Alastair immediately. Now that she knew that her Asher was alive, she wouldn't waste a second to get him back. Moreover, if these planes are really connected then Aldcoast and other schools would be in much danger.

"We have to go to Alastair now," TJ told Asher.

"Annie, calm down. We don't have to go there immediately," Asher said calmly.

"Ash, you don't get it. I might have put this dimension, and the human dimension in danger," TJ reminded him, and Asher nodded in agreement, "I also promised to bring you back, Ash. I don't think so I can wait anymore," TJ said and Asher's serious face broke into a grin.

"You are crazy," Asher chuckled.

TJ conjured a portal to the inn and dragged Asher with her as they reached the reception area of the inn.

"Aah!" Alastair screamed making TJ and Asher scream as well.

"You scared me!" Alastair scolded, and TJ snorted. "How did you appear like that?" Alastair asked looking behind him.

"I used my portal, sorry for scaring you. I'll be careful next time," TJ apologized.

"So that's what you can do?" Alastair asked, and TJ nodded. "You are the only one I know who can," Alastair told her, "And I know everyone," Alastair added with a creepy smile.

"Okay...I am here for something else," TJ said, and Alastair tilted his neck in confusion.

"Tell me little Tiffany, what do you want from me?" Alastair asked.

"First, call me TJ, Tiffany sounds odd on me. Second, I might have created a problem, and I need to find a way out," TJ said and Alastair motioned her to continue.

So she did, "It was last year, there was an accident, I didn't know I had powers and I sent my boyfriend to the parallel plane by thinking of a safe place where he won't get hurt. The day before I met you, I might have connected our world, the human one to the parallel plane because now I can touch him," TJ told Alastair who now had a serious face.

"Hmm...I don't know much about dimensions but this could be a problem. Your connecting human and parallel dimension could be a bad thing, although it doesn't concern the Iiliria dimension. But let's not take chances. I don't know how to correct this but you need to take out your man out of there before he disappears for real," Alastair said and TJ panicked.

"Disappear for real? What do you mean by that?" TJ asked worriedly and Asher's ears perked.

"The parallel plane is not like Iiliria dimension or the human one, there is no life there, and neither there is any death. If he stays there for a long time, say more than 1 year or something, he might disappear in the vacuum," Alastair explained and TJ's face showed panic.

"How do I bring him back? How do I correct all this?" TJ asked.

"I don't know how to," Alastair said and TJ thumped the desk with her fist, the whole desk trembled, but her face showed no signs of pain, "Calm down, I don't know how to do it, but I know how to bring your man back and correct this," Alastair said and TJ's sighed in relief.

"How?" TJ asked anxiously.

"There is a library where the secrets and tricks of the Master's powers are kept. These books were there for knowledge but it came into wrong hands once, and so it had to be locked away. Mater Tiffany's book can help you," Alastair told her.

"Where is the library, I'll go, and get the book," TJ said quickly, she was desperate.

"It's in the Frost dimension," Alastair told her, and TJ's face paled.

"You mean that dimension which is like Arendale in Frozen?" TJ asked, and Alastair looked confused, "I mean which has nothing but ice," TJ corrected, and Alastair nodded.

"The dimension is made up of ice, some say it's not even on the planet but that is just rubbish, it's connected to the Arctic Circle hence the coldness. But there is more danger in the way to the library," Alastair told her and TJ wanted to groan, now what?

"What?" She asked.

"There are mystical creatures protecting that library. You see, anyone can enter the dimension but you have to defeat the creature to gain access to the books. None of the people I know returned, hence there is no knowledge of what the creature is. The Masters made them guard the library so that it's safe," Alastair revealed, and TJ slapped her forehead.

"Couldn't I have normal powers like controlling minds or something? Why me?" TJ grumbled.

"Oh because you are special, my child. Very special," Alastair said and TJ looked at him with bewildered eyes.

"I am special? What did I do?" TJ asked.

"It's not about what you did, it's about what you are going to do, little Tiffany," Alastair told her with a knowing smile.

"Don't tell me, you can see the future," TJ mumbled, making the old man smile.

"Oh, no, silly girl. We Evergreens are smart creatures, and I am 400 years old. Give the old man some credit for his knowledge and experience," Alastair gave her a smug smile, and TJ chuckled.

"Alright, alright. I never thought I was special. You know when parents tell their children that they are special, they just say it because they are parents who are emotional creatures. Then boys and girls tell each other that they are special because that is just something they say. But as you are saying it, I feel like I already have the pressure of expectation, and I have never done well with expectations" TJ said sadly.

"No, Annie," Asher said softly, taking her hand in his.

"Why so?" Alastair asked the disheartened girl.

"I have never been the ideal child you know. My parents expected me to be like my name Tiffany Josephine, but I grew up as a tomboy, rebel, and troublemaker. I realized this when I sent Asher, my boyfriend to the parallel plane, and everyone thought he was dead. I realized that he was that one person that mattered the most in my life, and I lost him too. He expected me to be a good girlfriend I couldn't even do that. I am not very good with expectations," TJ said honestly, looking down at the dull brown table.

"Annie..." Asher tried to say but Alastair beat it to him. 

"Good Gods, you can't be sad right now!" Alastair exclaimed, and TJ looked up at him, "You are young and young people make mistakes, I did, your parents did, everyone does. So what? You saved that boy, he could have been dead if you didn't send him to that plane. You turned out to be a rebel, it was your choice, you say you are a tomboy but I don't think so that's a problem. Is it?" Alastair asked and TJ shook her head. "Then go, you are not late, correct your mistakes, bring your man back. Make the world a better place, paint the town red, or what you children say now-a-days...kick ass" Alastair said and TJ laughed.

TJ stood straight and ran around the desk as Alastair looked at her in confusion. TJ wrapped her arms around the old man, giving him a hug. "Thank you, Grandpa," TJ said with a cheerful smile.

She felt Alastair stiffen at her touch first but then he patted her shoulders and pulled away. TJ saw his same missing teeth smile and grinned.

"Grandpa...Not even Lee calls me that. Thank you, little Tiffany," Alastair said patting her cheek.

TJ bent down and kissed his cheek and stepped back, "I'll visit you with Asher soon," TJ told the old man who just laughed, and nodded his head and waved her.

TJ opened a portal to Calista's office and waved Alastair as she crossed the portal, and reached outside Calista's door.

TJ knocked the door but there was no response. Maybe Calista wasn't in her office. She knocked again but there was no response.

"She's in that other hall," Asher said and TJ nodded. Asher took her hand as they walked towards Calista.

"You think she'll allow me to go?" TJ asked Asher.

"Nope," Asher said as they reached the hall. "Alastair was right you know" Asher said and TJ gave Asher a small smile.

The door was opened so TJ peeked inside and gasped. The whole room was covered in pictures of people on the wall. There were candles in front of four pictures which were kept on a marble counter as the other pictures were hung on the wall.

Calista Thorton stood in front of the marble counter, she was looking in front and it seemed like she was talking to someone. TJ thought it was too personal to intrude so she decided to stand outside the room, and wait for Calista to come outside.

"You can come in, Tiffany," Calista's voice startled her and TJ felt embarrassed to intrude like that.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Thorton. I'll come later," TJ said, standing on the door.

"Don't be silly, or on second thoughts, let's talk outside," Calista said as she came out of the door and walked as TJ and Asher followed her.

"Did you talk to Alastair?" Calista asked TJ.

"Yeah, I did. I immediately went to him and told him about the mixing up of the dimensions, and Asher getting stuck there," TJ told her.

Calista, TJ, and Asher came back to her office. "You want something to eat?" Calista asked TJ who shook her head. "Alright, what did he tell you?" She asked the girl.

"Grandpa told me that there is a library locked in the Frost dimension which has some secrets and tricks of the Masters. He said I would probably find my answers there in Master Tiffany's book," TJ told Calista whose face turned serious.

"No, Frost is too dangerous. Isn't there any other way?" Calista asked and TJ shook her head.

"Grandpa said that I am the only person he knows who can open portals, and he knows everyone," TJ said and Calista nodded.

"Grandpa?" Calista asked as she realized what TJ was calling Alastair, Grandpa.

"Um...he looked like a Grandpa and I never had any grandparent so..." TJ said rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly and Calista smiled.

"He must have been too happy, nobody called him Grandpa ever, not even Lee," Calista smiled and TJ shrugged.

"He said that if I didn't bring Asher back, he might disappear in the vacuum," TJ said in a scared voice and Calista was shocked. How will she stop her now?

"Tiffany it's too dangerous, you don't even know what creatures are there. Nobody ever came back from Frost!" Calista exclaimed worriedly and TJ was frustrated.

"I understand your concern, Ms. Thorton, but Asher almost gave his life for me, I owe him, and if he disappears for real. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself because this time I know what is happening," TJ said calmly and Calista's expression changed to one of sympathy.

"I know I am not someone to tell you what to do, but you are my responsibility, I can't let you go into the jaws of death knowingly. Please, Tiffany, we'll find another way" Calista suggested but she saw that TJ was determined.

"I can't waste time, Ms. Thorton. Grandpa said 1 year, and it's more than 1 year now. I can't do this to Asher. He doesn't deserve this," TJ pleaded.

"If I can't convince you to not go then I'll go with you," Calista said, and TJ gaped at her.

"If you leave, then who will stay here, and take care of everything? I can't get your life in danger because of my screw ups...I mean mistakes," TJ said, and Calista looked at TJ with an emotion she couldn't point out what.

"I can't let you go alone. You are not even trained and Frost is dangerous...I'll go with you," Calista said as she stood up.

"Ms. Thorton please, God forbid if anything happens to you...I can't take all that guilt, and you know me. I'll make a portal, and come back if I am in danger. Let me go Ms. Thorton, please, let me go," TJ entreated.

"You don't understand, Tiffany. I can't put you in danger when I just got you...I mean you just got here. You have the world to explore. I can't do this, I can't let you go alone to that frozen dimension," Calista said pinching the bridge of her nose.

"I'll go with her," A voice said.

"Dean?" TJ was shocked as Dean entered the office.

"I am sorry but I heard what you guys were talking, and I'll go with TJ to Frost," Dean said and Calista looked paler than her usual color.

"Dean, my child, I can't you both go there like this," Calista argued.

"Ms. Thorton, I'll go too," A small sweet voice interrupted and TJ felt a warmth inside her as she saw Amaya entering the office.

"Sorry, but I was with Dean, trying to find TJ, and I heard it too. We three can go, Raffy will help us locate the library. Please Ms. Thorton, let us go," Amaya said and Calista sighed in defeat.

"Alright, but not today. You can leave tomorrow after lunch, get warm clothes, and TJ check the location of the library," Calista told her and TJ nodded with happiness, "Amaya, tell Rafael to set up his equipment in my house. You will leave from there and come back there only. I want to see everything if I can," Calista ordered and TJ ran to Calista and hugged her.

"Thank you, thank you so much, mu..." TJ was saying and her eyes widened on what she said, "...ma'am" TJ said as she pulled away herself from a very shocked Calista.

"Uh...okay. Now go, and meet me after school at my house with Rafael and the equipment," Calista told the three and they nodded in synchronization.

As TJ, Dean and Amaya left the room with Asher behind them, Calista slumped back to her chair and gave out a sigh. It wasn't a tired sigh but it was something she had never felt before. What was TJ going to say? This was not the Sunday she expected.

TJ stopped in her tracks as they were outside the school campus and on the ground and looked at her friends.

"Why are you guys helping me?" TJ asked making both Amaya and Dean stop. They looked at each other before looking at TJ.

"You heard us, we heard your conversation with Ms. Thorton and we wanted to help," Dean said with no expression on his face.

"We were looking for you all over the school. You were gone since 10 in the morning, and it were almost evening. We were worried, so when we couldn't find you we decided to inform Ms. Thorton, and heard you both talking. You were saying something about going to Frost to bring Asher back because you trapped him there. Can you please explain to us what this is all about?" Amaya asked as she looked at Dean who wasn't looking at any of them.

"Okay, you want to talk here or somewhere else?" TJ asked.

"Here," Dean said and sat down under one of the trees, and Amaya followed suit, TJ sighed and sat facing them.

TJ started reciting them the whole story about Asher and their fight and the accident and when she finished she saw Amaya had tears in her eyes.

"While I was telling Ms. Thorton about the dimensions I was studying about, I realized that I might have triggered my powers. I might have sent Asher to the parallel plane because he said something about being sent somewhere by me, and there was no one there. First I thought he was talking about heaven, but then I realized that he also said he knows what powers I had before I discovered it with Dean, the first day we met. So I told Ms. Thorton and Asher confirmed it. He wanted me to find it on my own that's why he kept mum. I wish he was less smart, this would have saved time," TJ shook her head and continued.

"Ms. Thorton told me that I was born without a heartbeat, and her mother maybe took me to the Masters who gave me life so I was named Tiffany after Master Tiffany. But I have the same powers as her too. So I went to Grandpa Alastair, Ms. Thorton said he would know something about my powers. He told me that Frost had a library which contained secrets and tricks used by the Masters and was locked and guarded by a mystical creature. Master Tiffany's book is the only way I can get Asher out. I went to Ms. Thorton to ask permission when you guys came in," TJ finished and looked at her friends. Amaya looked like she would cry any second and Dean was looking at the ground.

"I'm so sorry TJ, I had no idea that you went through it all," Amaya said before hugging TJ as TJ smiled and hugged her roommate back. "Dean stop being mean, and join us," Amaya said and Dean made a face but joined the girls.

"Thank you so much, guys. You don't know what it means to me," TJ told them as her friends wrapped themselves around her.

"You don't either," Dean mumbled to himself, "You have no idea,"

***

Going to Frost to get a book? What mystical creature would it be?

Something is up with Dean, what do you think it is?

Random question: What powers would you want if you were an Enchanter? 

I would to teleport or make portals. That would make my life like 75% easier. Seriously!
