About four days have passed since my mom was taken away from me and we were no closer to finding her.
When we weren't hunting for clues of my mom's whereabouts we would train.  The training was intense, but necessary and each  one of them had their own younique powers. For example, Celina is a sorceress who possess many powers one of which is light. Alex on the other hand is a shapeshifter.

With that being said they would train me however they saw fit.

Anyways, after training Derek and I took a walk, I needed to be alone with him because something was telling me to ask about other worlds. It Is as if something was telling me that my mom may be hidden in one of them.

That is if they even exists in the first place.

Taking his hand we walked  to a meadow that I had found one day randomly. Once there we sat in a patch of daisies that were dancing in the breeze with the sun spreading its light.
After a moment of silence I quietly ask, " Derek?"

"Hm?" He says while his head is tilt to the sky, basking in the warmth of the sun.

"Is there such a thing as other worlds?"

A pause.

And then, " yeah there is, but some are better off left alone. Heck some shouldn't even exist. Why do you ask.?"

I didn't answer for a moment stunned by the hostility in his voice.

Shaking my head, pretending that I didn't hear what was just said I tell him, " I don't know. I guess you can say something is telling me that my mom is in one of them. Do I know which one? Of course not though I wish I did. I miss her so much..."

I had to stop because I could feel the tears coming therefore I glanced down at the flowers so that he wouldn't see. Despite this effort he lifted my chin up so that we were eye to eye.

"We will find her. This I swear to you.." he whispered pulling me to his chest.
"No matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, we will find her."
The tears were coming freely now. I couldn't stop them no matter how hard  I tried. He gently smiled at me while wiping away some of the tears with his thumb.

Afterwards he kissed me. It was as if he was sealing his promise with the kiss.

After a moment I was the one who pulled away, resting my forehead against his our eyes still closed whispering, " thank you."

After that he took me home. Derek was about to walk out the door when I yelled, " wait!"

Turning around he came back.

"Please stay. I can't bare to be alone right now."

Without saying anything he pulled me up the stairs to my room. There we laid together, him protecting me, keeping his promises among other things and me... still learning who she is because she isn't who she once thought she was.

I fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

DREAM:
"HELP! HELP!
"Someone please help me!"

In a stone cold room I could hear someone screaming for help. There were many doors to choose from but not a single window in sight. Though I did spot a huge rectangular mirror and a chandelier that looked out of place as I wondered further into the room.

"Help me please! I'm begging!"
"ANYONE!"

Again the voice, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from.

I tried every door yet not a single one would budge.

That's when I heard, " well well, what do we have here? A little birdie trying to sneak in?"

Turning around to the owner of the voice I gasped.

It was her.

The one who caused all of this.

Looking her dead In the eye I ask, " what do you want?"

Grinning wickedly she says, " you already know the answer to that."

I didn't move a muscle. She can't be serious.
With that evil grin still on her face she glided over saying, " when you wake come to this very place. I will be awaiting your arrival."

Gulping. literally. I hesitated.

Should I? That was the question, but even though I shouldn't I knew I had to.

Opening my mouth about to reply I was suddenly whisked away to a different scene.

Upon sight I knew where I was. It was the park from my old home. The one my dad used to take me to when I was little. On one of the swings was moving and upon closer inspection there was he was.

After so long.

I sat on the swing beside him but not before hugging him. If only he knew how much I truly missed this. Missed him.

"You know don't you." I say quietly though I know he heard me.
I know he knew. He always had a way of knowing even when he was alive. Nothing could ever be hidden from him because of the fact that he knew. Heck he knew even before myself or my mom ourselves knew.

Nodding he says, " yes. I am the one who took you away before it was to late."
Sighing he continues, " how I wish I could help you more so than what I am now. How I wish I was alive so that none of this would have happened. There is still so much that needs explaining."

Deciding to distract him I ask, " why now? What made you come back?"

Silence was my reply.

Finally, " listen closely. The one who took your mother is not as she seems. In fact both your mother and I knew her before....
she was even your mom's best friend and your mother always blamed herself for what happened though it wasn't her fault in the least."

Shocked I ask, " then why...?"

Patting my hand he says, " she is being possessed by a higher power. One that is of our realm. A power that even the strongest of the strong have fallen victim to. "
Looking me dead in the eye he continues, " save her. I know you can."
I shake my head but before I could rebuts he continues again, " I am not supposed to say much but I cna tell you In which world to start."

"To start?" I asked confused.

Nodding he says, " yes, it is quite crucial.  I can't say the purpose of which why, but I can tell you which ones."

He took my silence as an affirmation.

"Key thing to remember is that you have to go to each of them in order. If you don't...." he trailed off.

Grabbing his hands in my own I say, " tell me."

"Right right." He says, " first travel to what is called Everjust. After that take the shortcut to Sojem Anium, but tread lightly my dear for they are not kind to trespassers.
The last place is called Rosario."

Never hearing of these places I ask, " how do I get to the first one"

Smiling for the first time since we first met here he says, " Alex and Derek know the way don't worry. You can trust them, but be warned for someone will betray those they are loyal to."
