Not that its a problem he isn't, its just, I'm worried.

"He said when we were walking over that he will be coming over later. He said he had a bunch of king stuff to do for the past few days and was getting really stressed." Jay explains.

Ok.. That's good. He isn't in trouble or anything.

We end up turning on TV.

"So what are we watching today? Soap Opera? Sit com? Movie?" Carlos asks.

We scroll through the guide but there is almost literally nothing to watch but replays of some huge professional Tourney match.

Jay is on the Auradon team.

Ya I find it weird that its called Auradon when there are like five other teams that have the names of the states they are in.

I never ask, mainly because I know it will lead to a lecture about how great things are in Tourney and how it is a way of life.

I swear I know it off by heart.

The news ends up on.

"Today a major crash was discovered on route twenty five. No one knows what caused it, but the driver got out and is alright. If anyone has any information, please send it over to the authorities." The woman says.

"Isn't that like the third one?" Evie asks.

I nod.

This is getting bad.

"Mal? Do you think..." Jay is cut off.

"No! She isn't back!" I say.

She can't be back.

I look at the picture.

"Look. My mother's magic leaves a mark on whatever it touches. No mark." I say.

Evie looks at me.

"Do you have a mark?" She asks, almost afraid of the answer.

I nod.

"I found I on my hip a couple days after I battled with her. It didn't hurt, it just left a mark." I say shrugging.

It isn't a big deal.

"Mal. You should have told us." Jay says.

I nod.

"I know. I just didn't want you guys to worry." I say.

I shake my head.

"I'm going to go for a walk. If anyone asks for me, tell them I'll call them back when I get back." I say holding onto my leather jacket.

Evie nods and I leave.

......

The forest is different from when I went through it to get the wand.

Most of it was cut down.

It's still endless, but just a little less.

I sigh.

I end up walk past the tree I slep on the first night I was out.

When I was here, I couldn't know what would happen.

Now I do.

I sit down on the huge root of the tree.

After a while of sitting, I decide to go back.

As I walk, I feel someone watching me.

I do not need someone watching me.

I turn and see that no one is there.

Odd. I must be on edge.

I keep walking, but now hear rustling in the bushes.

Ok. I can't imagine bushes moving

I cautiously walk over to the reddish bush and see two amber eyes staring out at me.

I move back as something jumps out at me.

I scream.

"Shush!" The creature shouts at me.

I close my mouth and let my eyes focus on the Amber eyed animal.

A cat is talking to me.

"I need to warn you!" It says.

I stare in awe.

A cat that can talk.

I walk up to the little black cat.

"Warn me of what?" I ask cautiously.

The little cat stares right into my eyes.

"The great evil is coming for you and your friends." It growls.

I stare back in shock.

What?

"Ok. You are coming with me." I say.

The cats hisses when I try to pick it up.

"No! You must not tell anyone I was here!" It hisses, backing into the bushes.

I fall, backwards, not understanding what just happened.
