(We're back for a little while, I've got things planned that'll keep us going for atleast a little while. PM me ideas if you've got any.)
Just before sunset, a figure crawled on the floor in a small room, drawing chalk lines on the ground. Long robes dragged behind it as it moved. She mumbled softly, it was a woman, as she stood up, dropping the chalk to the ground. Pacing around she lit candles one by one, holding a smaller candle in her almost too small hands. The lines lined the edge of the room, giving it a mysterious aura.
The room grew silent as she stopped moving, the shadows in the corners of the room flickered with a life of their own. Raising her hands out in front of herself, she closed her eyes. A trail of silvery blonde hair fell out from the hood of her robe, it was almost an inhuman color.
The lines glowed, a brilliant violet. The shadows moved in an odd dance, leaking their ways down the walls, one by one the candles dimming and going out. A thin layer of smoke settled over the room.
"Sleeping children come back to me. Underhill you shall wake. Something new for us to play." She whispered, and the glowing faded, the room dark. It would be an interesting night.
Children would find their way Underhill, a place where the elves lived and existed. Sure, some were peaceful, but they had their cousins. They weren't the nicest of the bunch. Unseleighe elves. The unknown, a place where magic existed in the raw. That just happened to be their destination. A fog covered most of the area, shapes moving within it. They looked like living creatures, yet it was just fog, nothing more. That fog was dangerous though, it could create your worst nightmare from one little fear you show. There was an escape, a gate set in to stone along a grey wall that matched the fog. Six gems set above it, one glowing a bright blue, the others almost matching the greyness of the wall.

Lunel drove down the road, her auburn hair flowing in the wind behind her. She drove a green convertible, the sun was shining and the top was down. She sang along to the song playing in her CD player. "Bitches love me cause they know that I can rock...." Her head bobbed up and down and she belted it out as loud as she could. The road was deserted and there was no one around to hear.

She grinned, pulling her pink and black hair in to pigtails. She wore a layered mesh skirt and a tank top.
"Hey, where are you going, sis?" A little girl poked her head out from under the covers, blonde hair sticking up in random directions.
"Gotta go out for a bit." She pulled her boots on, "I'll be back soon, you'll be ok." And then her favorite coat, the one that had leather lining the bottom.
"Yeah, but you'll have to come back soon." She smiled a bit, pulling the covers back over her head, the other girl slipped out of their small room.

She pulled into the driveway of her destination and turned the radio down as she opened the gate that led up to her home, which was a beautiful bungalow on the cliffs of an ocean. she turned the car off and got out, still humming the tune that had been playing, jingling her keys to the tune as she walked up her sidewalk, which was lined with various plants, some of which not even the most learned botanists would recognize.

She gave the car that drove past her a funny look, "An interesting song to hear in the middle of the night/" She smiled to herself and headed down the street. She had things to do, and hopefully she could finish it all in one night.

She unlocked the door to her house and went inside, smiling to herself. Today had been a good day. She had caused mischief in the local Walmart that had involved goldfish, and an inflatable swimming pool. Her parents always wondered if she had some fey in her somehow.

The other one, the one that stayed in bed got up, wandering in to the front room and pulling open a small drawer, pulling out a mirror and gazed at it for a moment.
She slipped in to one of the clubs, walking along one of the backwalls and walked through another door. It was a tricky little maze, but she needed to speak to a few people.

She sat down in her chair, remembering the look on the poor employees faces when they had found several fish swimming about in the display pool in the childrens area. A little elven magic was all it took to avoid getting caught, and voila! A fun harmless prank. Such things were almost a daily routine for Lunel.

"Hey, Jake!" She called out as she pushed the last door open. A guy sat in a beanbag chair, a black button up with a cross on a white strap on the arm. "What's been going on with you lately?" She pouted, an angry look in her eyes.
"Oh.. uh, not much really." He hesitated, quickly stamping out a what resembled a cig under his boot.
"Yeah, Bull." She grumbled, turning to walk over to him. Something stopped her, she felt dizzy, like she was on a roller coaster. A light formed around her feet. "Hey... when did you put new lighting in..?" She mumbled, looking at her feet and then she was gone.
Jake stared at where she was blankly, "That's some strong s**t.." And he passed out.

The corner of her mouth twitched in to a smile as she stood in the shadows of her room. "Now, I didn't expect this girl to be chosen. Not atleast, one like this. The rest of the children will be here soon." She turned and walked IN to the wall.
A shadow lurked behind Lunel's chair, one of the things the person had sent off. She would be harder to take, she could fight back, or atleast try to. It spread out under the chair quickly, and the chair sank. Not in to the ground, or to the basement, but in to darkness. Dropping Lunel in to the foggy area.

Lunel's eyes snapped open. "Dark magic.." She leapt out of the chair backwards, but the shadow followed her, pulling her down into the blackness. She fought with all the power of her own magic to fight back, but the struggle was futile and did nothing but exhaust her as she sank fully into the shadow, leaving nothing behind.

She stared at Lunel. What would you do after seeing someone fall out of nowhere? "W-where in HELL did you come from?" She yelped. Glancing at the fog she squinted for a moment, swearing that she saw something move in it.
"....Alexa?" It was the smaller girl, standing there in puplre PJs, holding the small mirror in one of her hands. Her blonde hair still messy from when she was sleeping.
She twitched at her named and looked over in the direction of May, a confused look on her face. "What in hell..."

She ignored the girl and looked around. This was not the human world, she know that much, but she was unfamiliar withthe territory she was surrounded in. But, as she looked at her hands, and touched her face, she realized she was in her true elven form, which meant that she must be in the Elven world, perhaps in a place she just didnt recognize.

She frowned when Lunel didn't answer her and got to her feet, slipping her coat off of herself and dropped it on May's shoulders. "Got any ideas what's going on, kiddo? I saw some weird light and I found myself here..." May shook her head and dropped the mirror, letting it fall to the ground and shatter. "This place make my head hurt." She mumbled, looking down at the broken mirror.
