Tom heard the crash from his room. He rushed upstairs, leaving the food where it sits. "Seraph!"

She clutched her still burning scars "I'm alright…" her voice was shaky with pain "The bastard was in my head… Tamriel was in my head…" she slowly climbed to her feet but that surge of energy took a lot out of her so she stumbled.

He rushed to her and grabbed her as she fell. He stroked her head, clutching her tightly. "It's alright… Just calm down, you're in a house we two magic users. I can always call Hunter and Bryan over if James isn't here that is… Just calm down… I got you."

"The hell did I do? What… the hell did I do?" she looked back at the still melted glass "How was he in my head?" her voice now shook with fear "What… is… he?" she slowed her breathing a little "I know you can't answer that…"

"Shush… Maybe Megan might know what he is… for now… just calm down. I have some food for you downstairs if you're still hungry. I can make or do anything you want, just tell me Darling." He whispered gently.

She slowly regained balance and stopped shaking "I need to eat… that took a lot out of me…" she took another glance at the glass "Sorry about that… When can we meet her?"

"Hopefully soon…" He helped her down the stairs and set a plate of food on the tale. "There you go, i'm going to call Megan, alright?" He asked gently.

She slowly nodded her head What the hell did I do? she ate her breakfast and held her head in her hands trying to stay awake and deal with a droning head ache.

He pulled his phone out, making sure she as alright, and dialed Megan. He glanced at Seraph worriedly. The phone was answered with a buzz.
"Tommy~!" Megan's cheery voice came from the phone. "Whatcha' need?"
His gaze averted back to Seraph. "I have a… friend here… it's… complicated but… your theories may be onto something. She kinda needs help."
"Literature-iverse?" She asked, drowning in excitement.
"You… could say that… Just, please, come over soon."
She snorted. "Don't worry, at the word "theories" I had my shoes on. I'll be over in a sec."
"Thank you."
"My pleasure, Tommy!" She hung up.

He turned to Seraph. "She'll be over in a little, alright hun?"

She nodded "That's good." she rubbed her sore scars feeling the rough and smooth patches of skin that made up the scorched areas. "Just hope it didn't leave any lasting side effects."

"I'm sure it didn't." He smiled sweetly at her, the right side of his lip lifting upward. "Did you like your food?"

She smiled "Yes I did, and thank you."

"You want more? I can make more… i don't mind." He shifted.

"I thank you for the offer but, I'm full. I never eat much in the mornings."

"Alright." He shifted.

There was a knock at the door. Tom turned at the sound and creaked the door open.
"Tommy!" Megan smiled from the other side. Her gently chubby face cheery. "Can I come in?"
"Oh, yeah. Thanks for coming." He opened the door for her.
"So where is your friend?" She smiled, looking around.
He tilted his head toward the kitchen. "This way."
The cheery brunette bounced her way to the kitchen, her bob cut swirling around.
"Megan, this is Seraph, Seraph, Megan." He awkwardly introduced them to each other.

Seraph sleepily waved to Megan "Hello Megan! Sorry, feeling a little drained at the moment."

She bounced around as Tom slowly etched into the shadows. I cannot believe I dated this woman at one point…
"So, what's going on?" She smiled. "Do you have an invisible dragon following you, or you keep seeing rainbows?"

Seraph looked perplexed "Uh… what?"

She turned back to Tom who was casually trying to get away. "What is going on with her?"
"Uh…" He turned back around, his escape failed. If she makes a move on meeeeee…… "Well…. uh….. the other day i got stuck in a…… pocket dimension…? And she was there and uhhhhh, there's a dude following us or something…. Uh, the dude you and James saw….?" He asked awkwardly.
"That did not make any sense." Megan sighed.

Seraph motioned for Tom to sit next to her, no way in hell she could handle this lil' ball of energy "Well, he didn't follow us here, he was already here. uh, I think I can give you a quick sketch if I had something to write with…"

Megan looked at them weirdly. "So… you fell into a pocket dimension…. and…. where are you from?" She asked Seraph.

"Well, i was in Wisconsin when a bolt of lightning struck me. I was then pulled into this white void and appeared next to this one." she motioned to Tom "we were there for maybe a week but we were…" her eyes turned grey for a second "sorry, there was an accident and we were zapped back here. I'm obviously not from here so I can only assume i've been pulled into another world…"

Her mouth hung open and she looked at Tom. "How old are you and….. did anything…. special happen in your life before this?"

"I'm 20 and nothing really spectacular happened, dad died when i was young but that's it."

She looked at her. "You seem…. different…."

"How so?" she squeezed her scars on her shoulder god damn this still stings!

She looked back at Tom. "I see patterns in this world… you aren't from here… I don't think that The Creator made you."
Tom looked on with interest.
