xp_logsTopaz is keeping watch while Clea sleeps, however the girls weren't expecting a tear leading to another world to ruin their plans.
"Alright, you good?"
Standing guard, Topaz could do. She'd brought a thermos of caffeinated tea and a book, and her light orb was already floating near the desk so she could see without waking up Clea up.
She had to get Clea to sleep though. That she wasn't as confident in her ability to do.
Putting the bottle of pain medicine into her sweater pocket she curled up into her blankets. "Yeah. I'll do my best." Clea was glad that Topaz was there. She was a little more at ease with the older girl nearby. Clea felt her eye lids getting heavy as she stared at the orb floating around Topaz. "And you will stay the entire night?"
"Yup." Topaz settled down in the chair, curling up. She had changed into a pair of sweatpants and a tank top, trying to get as comfortable as she could be considering she was going to be in a chair all night. "I'll be right here the entire time. I promise."
Clea nodded and the last memory of being awake was watching as Cata jumped up next to Topaz as if she was going to keep watch as well. It made her happy.
No sooner did she fall asleep she found herself in the city once more. "Damnit! Just a dream. Just a dream..." Clea put her hands down and felt something in her pocket, she pulled out her medication. "Just a dream..." Her voice wasn't very convincing. The ground began to shake as a shadow fell on her. Clea turned around just as the hand came down upon her.
Screaming she woke up and fell to the floor. "Ow..." Holding her arm tightly, "Ow."
Topaz felt the spike in fear and her head snapped up. She tried to reach out mentally and fight back the fear, deciding she'd apologize later (Clea needed sleep after all), but her concentration was broken as Clea screamed and rolled out of bed.
"Whoa, hey, alright." Topaz hurried to kneel down beside Clea. "You're all.... right..."
Her voice drifted off as something began to shimmer in the middle of the room.
Clea held onto Topaz tightly, "I can still feel him..." She whispered.
The shimmer turned into a crackling noise as Clea turned to see electricity in the room, the suite, the entire mansion starting to flicker until total darkness filled the room, except for the light orb floating around. Cata jumped onto the bed and and started to hiss at the air. "Topaz..."
A bright light started to form a crack in the air as a portal opened up.
"What the hell..."
That was all Topaz had time before every single ward around the mansion pinged, and suddenly the air kicked up like they were caught in a vacuum - and they were being pulled toward the portal.
"Grab something!" Topaz yelled, reaching for the bed, her arm tight around Clea. But she only had time to grab the blanket before they were pulled off.
"Topaz!" Clea yelled back as she held onto the older girl tightly. Both girls entered the portal and just as quickly it shut - leaving only the tear hanging in the air closed but still very much visible. The air around the tear was dead still.
Cata who took cover under the bed came back out and started to pace.
It wasn't quite like falling down the rabbit hole into Wonderland - rather than falling, they seemed to tumble along for a few moments before hitting the ground. Topaz groaned, keeping an arm around Clea as she pushed herself up.
"Where...." are we was the logical way to finish that question, but she didn't bother. Clea probably wouldn't know either.
Clea finally opened her eyes and her heart dropped. "No..." She whispered. On the ground was Clea's medication bottle, the one she had dropped in her dream. Clea picked it up and looked around. "It was only suppose to be a dream." The fog slightly lifted to show crumbling buildings and archways that looked to be mirrors scattered among them. The sun was eclipsed by the moon but no matter how much time would pass, the sun would never re-appear. There were no other signs of life. Clea turned around to face Topaz, "We are in the place I have been dreaming about."
Topaz frowned, looking back at Clea. "Were we sucked into your head?" Hell it had happened before. She looked down at the blanket still in her hand. "No, probably not." Last time she hadn't gone through a portal, after all. "Alright, well.... we probably shouldn't stay here." She didn't like being out in the open.
"I am not an expert on weird tears that appear. But I also, don't think we are in my head. That would be weird." A structure behind Topaz caught her eye, "There is a castle? Maybe, we can go there. If we are in this world for reals....that shadow thing can't be far away."
"Let me hope for an easy fix," Topaz murmured, looking toward the castle. "Yeah. Maybe we can find someone to help us too. Let's go."
"Alright, you good?"
