"WHAT?!" Crystal shrieked.

Camel didn't die...

"HE DIDN'T DIE? HE DIDN'T DIE?!"

"Calm DOWN Crystal! I don't know what happened either!"

"HE SURVIVED...! THAT MEANS HE MUST BE THE PERSON WHO MADE THE PORTAL! HE IS YOUR LOVER'S KIDNAPPER!"

She turned to Camel, now with his face turned a bright red, and slightly blue. It looked as if he were going to throw up. Instead he said,"W-w-what if... what if my name isn't... uhh... Camel?"

"OF COURSE IT'S CAMEL! I ALWAYS KNEW YOU AS CAMEL!"

"Wait Crystal he is right... His name isn't Camel."

She jerked her body towards Mr. Oden and stared.

"W-w-who is he then...?"

"His name is Andre."

Camel- or better known as Andre now, started to tear up. He didn't want to die. Better yet, he didn't want to be murdered by a girl he was going to ask out on Saturday. That is, if he wasn't kidnapped the previous Friday night.

"Are you... crying?"

"Uhh no... My eyes are sweating."

Crystal laughed. Then Mr. Oden. Then Cam...No...Andre.

"Hey would you mind telling me your last name?"

Mr. Oden glared at Crystal.

"Well if your name is Andre, shouldn't you have a last name too?"

"...Yeah who doesn't. That doesn't mean I'm telling you though."

Crystal just realized that something was behind Mr. Oden... The same weird thing she saw out of the corner of her eye when she first touched the book. She jumped in horror because it WALKED out of a closet on the wall and it WASN'T HUMAN!

"G-g-g-GUYS?!"

They both turned their head towards Crystal and Mr. Oden scratched his head.

"What's up? Why do you look so worried?"

She pointed at the giant, lanky monster-like thing with wings.
