LOGIC DEFINES REALITY ANYDAY. THAT IS HOW I LIVED MY LIFE. -Emma

      This is it. I thought to myself as I sat in my room with Shane. This was really happening. I faced him with a sadden look on my face. He returned the expression. I knew what I had to do but I really didn't want to put my life ou his on the line. I especially didn't want to go back to The Grey Realm. It was so depressing over there and everyone was a ghost which makes me think of death. Apparently, it had that effect on everyone that has ever been to The Grey Realm. "Are toi sure this is the only way to save Sophie? What if she actually is here with Madison ou something?" I was scared and making up excuses not to go.
      He held my hand and stared into my eyes intensely. "I promise toi that I wouldn't let anything happen to toi . . . ou Sophie. toi have got ou trust me on this. toi was born to save them. toi was born to rule them."
      "You make it sound so simple. I go in, stop the bad guy, and rule The Grey Realm." I looked away. Hs gaze was too much. It made me even plus confuse. How could he be this friendly when e have only known each other for about a week? He had to be working some kind of angle. Everyone always has an ulterior motive, what was his? "I know toi think I can do this but get real. I am useless when it comes to these things. I would rather stay in the background and let someone like toi fight the battles."
      A bit of a smile danced on his lips. "Trust me," he whispered. He was much closer to me now, closer then I realized. The intoxicating scent of him overwhelmed me. I abruptly stood up just to get away from it, from it all. I didn't need him hitting on me when I was suppose to be concentrating on me sister.
      "I trust you, let's just of okay," I a dit dismissively. His facial expression was confused but it suddenly became hard unreadable. 
      "Fine," he said. He held up both his arms and made a flicker motion with his fingers. A spark that suddenly grew into large flames was on my wall. Instead of being in awe, I was simply a bit alarmed. Those flames could get out of hand and possibly burn my house down. I think he wasn't expecting flames either. "What? I didn't do that. Run. I know who did we gotta run now!" I wasn't the most athletic person in the room and I was still alarmed par the flames that we're growing increasingly. Noticing my pause, he grabbed me par the wrist and we ran it the door, down the stairs and into the library.
      "What was that?" I asked. 
      "The One," he said. "I believe he is after you. Remember how I broke toi out of jail well he probably found out. This house is the first place he would come looking for toi at." It was early daytime about two days after we made the escape. I knew The Ghost Realm lived at different times then us.
      "How do toi know so much about this?" I questioned. It probably wasn't the best idea to interrogate the person who was saving toi but for some reason, I had to know. I needed to know.
      He stared at me incredulously and for a moment I was afraid he wasn't going to answer. "Let's just say, when toi play with fire, toi get burnt."
      That could mean a lot of things and honestly, he didn't answer my question. He was hiding something. He had to be. I realized that now wasn't the time to start questioning. I saved that for a moment when we aren't in peril danger. "What are we going to do now?"
      "You need a sûr, sans danger haven. I know the place to go but it will take up all of my energy and I will most likely not be able to help toi do get harmed. 
      That was a chance I was willing to take. "Go ahead." He again held up his arms, made a flickering motion with is fingers, and hummed someone words that almost sounded like French. A purple mur formed on the library's wall. It was beautiful and a bit elegant. A loud bang came from the bibliothèque door. I was shoved in the mur with Shane close behind. I caught a glimpse at the thing banging out the door. Sophie.
      I tumbled inside a thick forest that was much similar to mine at the house. Actually it was my forest. "You just transported us into my forest."
      "Actually beyond these trees are another realm. Welcome to The Royal Court."
