Well, Space is pretty surprised about something... Wonder what? C: Hehe... Guess you'll have to read then............

Chapter 16

“You guys are in sooooo much trouble! And as for you the rest of you, I expect that your parents won’t be too happy either! Especially you Princess, did your parents allow this?!” The strange canine’s voice questioned harshly… Lefty shakily peered through her friends to try and see exactly who was talking, but she couldn’t make any good details because Space and Shila were covering her up…. Lefty grunted underneath her breath, “What good is it if you can’t even tell who it is?!” Lefty grumpily whispered to Cat beside her… Cat twitched her ear in agreement, but kept her eyes on the cracks between Space and Shila… A “CLANG!” made Lefty and Cat jump in surprise, as they reached for their swords, thinking that Space was fighting with whoever was talking…

“Miss Lefty’s Mom! I..! We didn’t think you would be here!” Space squeaked in surprise as he dropped his sword making a loud clanging noise on the ground… Lefty’s Mom put her hands on her hips and growled softly as she swung her tail irritably, “O…. So you thought I wouldn’t be here huh?! Well… You thought dead wrong!!! You all are going to be in sooooooo much trouble once I get a hold of your parents!” She barked, “And don’t even dare think of running off again! I’m going to make you stay at my house until your moms and dads come pick you up! Even you young wolf lassie! I’ll make sure that whoever your parents are hear about this as well!” Lefty’s mom snorted as she pointed to Shila and grabbed Space’s arm; making Space yelp in shock and surprise…

Seeing Space getting dragged off by the mysterious figure made Lefty nervous as she drew out her sword in anger, “You leave him alone creature!!!!” Lefty screamed as she busted out from behind her friends with her sword drawn up in anger… The figure screamed in fear and quickly let go of Space, looking on in horror at her attacker… Lefty had never been so angry before, she wanted to make sure that no one hurt any of her friends, even if it meant attacking someone… She looked at the person on the ground in fury as she drew her sword up, “Lefty?! What in the world are you DOING?!?!?!”The figure looked at her in horror…

Lefty blinked in surprise as her mind identified the figure, “Mom?!” Lefty replied in confusion as she quickly dropped her sword in horror at what she had almost done… Lefty’s Mom got up shakily and grabbed Lefty harsh on her shoulder, making Lefty yelp in pain, “You’re here too?! You and your brother are coming home right now! You are both soo grounded for a whole month! No TV, video games, laptop privileges, or drawing! And don’t even think about sweet talking your Dad over the issue when he gets home!” Lefty’s Mom screamed at Lefty, mostly fueled from the amount of chaos, while dragging her down the road...

Lefty gritted her teeth while she opened her eyes and looked at her mom in confusion, “Wait, what?! What in the world are you talking about?! What do you mean me and my brother mom?!? I NEVER HAD A BROTHER!!!!” Lefty screamed as she tried to pry herself from her mom’s harsh grip in pain… However this didn’t go very well, as her weak leg gave out from underneath her and Lefty fell onto the ground with her mom still harshly holding her arm up like a ragdoll.  Lefty’s Mom then stopped and allowed her daughter to break loose before turning to face the shocked and now confused group of Lefty’s friends; eyes glaring in fury as she pointed at them…

“You are all coming with me NOW! Or else I’m calling the police! Understand?!” Lefty’s mom roared as she flattened her ears at them… “Stripes, drop that stupid stick! You are coming with your sister NOW!” Lefty’s mom screamed at Stripes angrily… Stripes looked at Lefty’s mom in horror, before looking at Lefty. Oddly, something about Lefty’s facial expression made Stripes not drop his staff, but rather he turned his wizard staff invisible and put it in his coat, before pretending to let go of it… Once this was accomplished, Lefty’s mom snorted in relief as she signaled them to follow her silently with her tail…

The gang followed silently wondering in confusion as to why Lefty’s mom was here as they walked along silently… Space eyed Lefty’s mom in horror at the thought of her calling both his and Cat’s mom, who would be having a heart attack if she heard about this…. The one thing he hated the most was being accused of the unknown….

The rest of the gang didn’t look much better as Space glanced behind him, Shila was nervously playing with her tail and kept guiltily glancing behind her as if something was just waiting to jump out at her, like perhaps a whole military troop or something like she had somehow illegally crossed the borders undetected… He couldn’t even begin to imagine how much trouble they would get into for trying to explain something like that, and Cat seemed even more nervous than him as she kept letting her gaze drift over to Lefty and Stripes, who were saying nothing at the moment but were looking at each other as if they knew something… The only person who seemed to be not so scared was Princess, who was looking forward in confusion, but showed no signs of fear…. The only thing that was breaking the silence was an occasional bird chirping in the distance as it would stop and then start chirping back up again as they walked along the dirt road that looked surprisingly similar to the road that Space remembered Lefty saying was called ‘Charlotte’s road’ since her granny’s sister owned the piece of land next to Lefty’s parents…

Space then looked over at Lefty and Stripes; he could see fear in Lefty’s eyes as they reached the end of the road with her house in front… “Wait, her house is here?! So we really were still on Earth? Wait that’s not right… There’s something weird going on here, it can’t really be her actual house… We were in Estyren just a few minutes ago; we couldn’t have just magically walked deeper into the forest and got lost a few miles away from her house! That wouldn’t explain why Shila was here then! Grr… Something’s off… Hey Lefty are you listening?” Space questioned inside his mind, silently hoping that Lefty was listening to him…

A quick flick of Lefty’s ear ahead of him notified him that she was indeed listening to him as her gaze remained focused ahead, “Ya, I picked up a few seconds ago after you snorted loudly… *Giggle* Seriously, do ya think you could any more obvious? You know I can listen in to minds… Which by the way, my mom’s mind isn’t giving any response, let alone even a signal… It’s weird…. Anyways, I don’t know what’s going on either, but one thing is for sure… How exactly did we end up here?! I mean, I would believe it was us possibly sleepwalking or something, but it doesn’t add up with Shila here… And besides, weren’t you like, sleeping on the bus trip when you got here? It wouldn’t make any sense to believe that… But my ‘mom’ here seems to think otherwise… She keeps giving me that look that I’ve done something punishably wrong… Yet I have no clue what that is… Anyways, why does she keep saying Stripes is like my brother or something?! It’s totally creeping me out, ugh… Anyways, I think we should play along for a little and then once I’ve concentrated hard enough I’ll try teleporting us out of here… Sound good everyone?”  Lefty asked, with a quick yep coming from everywhere in Space’s mind…

Space had to shake his head in order to clear the chronic headache of echoes in his mind, “Ugh Lefty!!!! You had everyone listening inside of my mind?! I sooo do not approve of that!” Space growled inside of his head… A faint giggle echoed in reply, “Hey! It’s much easier on my powers that way! Besides, *chuckle* it gives us an advantage over the enemy, *Cough* I mean mom, right?” Space could almost imagine Lefty cracking a grin saying that, as he snorted…. “Alright fine… But make sure that you can teleport us all out k? I don’t want anyone left behind because that will be the end of us, got it?” Space frowned as he telepathically tried to talk to Lefty… He could never get used to that…

Lefty flicked her ear again in reply, before Space sighed and glanced back at the group that was nodding at him… “So go ahead general Space, *Chuckle* lead the way…” A voice laughed in his head as Space frowned at Stripes, who was trying hard to keep from giggling and alerting Lefty’s mom… (Sigh* fine, we can play low profile for now…) Space frowned as the gang reached the front door of Lefty’s house…

Ok............. So that was a weird chapter.... :/ Wonder what Lefty's mom is doing in Estyren? Err... Earth... Err I mean! ... Nevermind... -_- >:3 Go figure.... So Anyways, it's rather confusing for the gang huh? Well, perhaps the next chapter will help sum it up :D (oh, I forgot to mention this week i'm doing 2 chapters instead of just 1...
