*Pina was alone in the pitch dark house, and something huge and black and faceless was chasing her. No matter how fast she tried to go, tripping over furniture and stumbling over her own feet, it still got closer by the second. She couldn't understand why no one was there to rescue her- Where was Julian? Where was her father? She fell again, and when she turned to see how close it was, it was right on top of her, a huge gaping mouth with black ragged teeth waiting to devour her...
In her own soft bed, Pina sat up, gasping and shaking. She hugged her arms around herself, trying to control her breathing. Every time she closed her eyes, all she could see was that terrible creature.
Still shaking, she hopped off of her bed, and pulled on a robe. She knew she hardly ever did this, and it was just a silly dream, but she still had a strange sense of something being wrong. She couldn't sleep anymore, and she couldn't stand to be along. Jumping at every sound, she crept to her brother's room and knocked on the door. Nervous when there was no answer, she knocked again, harder.*
"Julian?" *she called, much louder than she intended.*

*Erik blinked in the darkness and frowned, trying to work out what had woken him up. He turned on a light, surprised to find himself in Julian's room until he remembered he was gone.
Pina.
He covered his face and opened the door.*
"Pina."

*Pina frowned, surprised to see her father instead of Julian.*
"Daddy? What are you doing in here?"
*She tried to peer around him, but the room looked empty.*

*Erik blinked.*
"Um. Erik must have fallen asleep. Pina, Julian's... on a trip."

"A trip?" *she asked sceptically. She wasn't stupid- she knew when she was being lied to. Her brow furrowed.*
"Where is he?"

*Erik's heart sank. She wasn't buying it. But he wasn't even lying.*
"He had to go. Erik... I don't know why. He'll be back, though."
*He said it with the conviction of one who needed it to be true.*
"Erik will take care of you until he comes back. And... and you must take care of him."

*She took a step toward her father, worry showing in her face.*
"Why? Where did he go?" *she asked forcefully.* "When is he coming back?"
*Julian couldn't be gone- Hadn't he promised to take her with him, if he was forced to leave?*

*Erik had to try to maintain his composure.*
"Erik doesn't know," *he said.* "I'm sorry; he had to leave suddenly. Perhaps he did not have time to say goodbye--but he would not leave without saying anything if he was going to be gone long."

"What happened? Is he in trouble?"
*She tried to calm down. If Julian was in any danger, he could take care of himself. He had magic, after all.*

"No," *he said firmly, trying to calm himself as well.* "He will return when it is time. Until then, we shall have to be good friends."

"Why won't you answer my questions? Tell me what happened!"
*She wasn't satisfied with his vague, cryptic answers.*

"I don't know!" *Erik blurted, his hand clenching at his side.* "He just left."

"He wouldn't just leave me like that! He's my brother- he cares about me! What aren't you telling me?"
*Her voice grew higher and louder as she yelled.*
