"Smart girl," Peter laughed evilly.

"Peter Hayzen," Dan spat.

"Hello little friends that cut my door down," he then turned to Hannah. "Go upstairs sweetheart."

"No," I growled. "Hannah stay here."

"Daddy," she looked confused.

"Fine. Hannah. Stay," Peter pronounced each word clearly which said he was pissed off more then we thought.

"Good," I purred. "Now Peter. Why don't you kindly invite me and my friends in your lovely home."

"Because you are clearly a threat," he growled.

"A threat? I need a simply question answered but with the growing audience I don't want to say what until we have full privacy," I smiled mockingly at him

"Fine. Come in," the glowing blue force field fell from the door and I lead them in before he changed his mind.

"What a lovely home uncle," he whirled around, clearly surprised.

"Scarlett," he whispered.

"Who else would have the guts to cut your damn door down," I exclaimed.

"Oh Scarlett. Oh I thought you'd died with my sister," a tear fell down his check.

I raced to him and hugged him. Tears fell down my face too but for once they were happy tears. The protection spell fell and Peter let go of me. He smiled and a few more tears spilled down his narrow face.

"What, Scarlett, do you possible want from your warlock uncle," he grinned.

"The Dream Ghost," I breathed. "Annabella said you were the only one who knew where it was."

"Yes. I do. You will need to go to the beginning of the Balinor River," Peter said. "Then you will need this spell to summon the Dream Ghost. And remember, tell no one that I told you or where the Dream Ghost is."

"Thank you Peter," I smiled before hugging him again.

"Be careful Scarlett. If your reason isn't good enough, the Dream Ghost will end you," the last part came out in a whisper.

"Is it possible for a non-warlock to cast this spell? Because I haven't found a warlock that likes me yet," I asked quietly.

"You probably can not cast the spell," he took a deep breath. "Hannah has been taught to cast powerful spells like this. Take her with you."

"What!? I cannot take your daughter! You know this trip is not safe," I argued.

"You must take her Scarlett. You know you must," Peter's eyes pleaded me. "She has a unicorn out back. Sweetie go get Sun-Dancer."

Hannah dashed out of the door as soon as he finished his sentence. I nodded.

"I will take her with us, Peter. And I promise to bring her back alive. We will all risk our lives for hers," I nodded to the group. "Thank you so much Peter."

"Go now. You must leave. But first here," he threw a purple spark at everyone. "A non-sleep spell. You won't have to sleep for another week. Be careful Scarlett."

"Thank you again. We will be on our way then," I nodded to him before turning and walking to the door.

When we got outside, Peter cast the same spell on the unicorns. I thanked him once more before we mounted our unicorns, ready to leave. Hannah hugged her dad one more time before mounting her unicorn and following us.

Toby was super angry ever since with picked up Hannah. He was a wolf currently, hunting. Toby hated Hannah clearly but she didn't seem to care.

"I have a feeling I don't fit in with you guys," Hannah stated softly.

"Eh. We are all misfits," Windy smiled sweetly at her.

"Misfits? We have the queen and her soul-mate, a pixie, a Hunter and a wolf. You sound well put together. I don't understand where I fit in," her head dropped.

"We need a warlock. That's the only thing we are missing," I smiled warmly at her but she shook her head.

"Your friend obviously hates me. The Hunter acts like I'm not here. The pixie is clearly annoyed by all my questions. And your soul mate hasn't spoken a word since we left my house," Hannah looked terribly sad. "And you. Your the only one that seems to like me."

"Well what do you expect? You came in at the half mark of our journey," Dan said. "You are just something we need to get used to."

I glanced at Dan but he wasn't even looking at me. Cameron looked bored as hell. Windy was asleep.

"Hannah. Like Dan said, it takes time to get used to you. We've been through hell and back together," she looked up at me hope blossomed in her eyes. "It's hard to add someone to our hell-journey."

She grinned at me. I patted Storm-Brooke's neck, brushing off a fly that had landed on her. Her dapple gray coat stood out among the other unicorns. Her mane was a shinning silver that seemed to glow in the sunlight. Her eyes were a stormy gray. Storm-Brooke's horn was white that glowed emerald in the sunlight.

Fatum, Dan's unicorn, is a dark chestnut with a lighter mane. His eyes were a hazel color with a slight spark. His horn was white and glowed ruby. Fatum was also unique, his dark coat stood out amongst the others.

Fate, Toby's unicorn, is black. The darkest black you'd ever seen. Fate was the only unicorn in our group to have a jet black horn that glowed a pearl color. His mane blended in to his jet black coat. His eyes were a dark, icy blue. Fate was also our slowest horse.

Sky-Ghost, Cameron's unicorn, is cloud white. His coat was so bright that you could see him from a mile away. And also if you weren't close enough to pick out every detail, Sky-Ghost appeared to glow. His mane was a bright gray that glowed with his white coat. His horn was white and glowed opal. Sky-Ghost's eyes were a light blue.

Sun-Dancer, Hannah's unicorn, was a pretty, light chestnut. Her horn was such a light blue it looked white. It glowed a light orange. Her eyes were a brown-ish color. Sun-Dancer's mane was a dark, dark brown and stood out against her light coat.

I looked down and saw that Sesame was stalking forward, then she pounced. The butterfly she pounced on flew quickly away. Her medium length, brindle fur shone in the sunlight. When she stood up next to me she reached about my waist. Her green-ish/hazel eyes were always bright and happy.

Windy sat in a little saddle that I had made, on Sesame's back. Sesame didn't care that she was back there so it worked fine. Windy wore an aqua blue dress that held tightly to her small body frame. Her wings were a beautiful sky blue and had purple glittery spots. Her eyes were a dark, pretty blue. Windy's hair was also a dark blue but was slightly darker then her eyes.

Toby suddenly busted through the tree line, sprinting straight at us. His body language screamed fear. Toby changed and leaped onto Fate.

"Go! They found us! We have to run," Fate took off as fast as he could go, Toby holding on to the bridle.

"Hannah! Is there a spell you can do to slow them down," I pushed my heels into Storm-Brooke's flank.

"Yes," she yelled to me.

"Thank you," I said back.

"Done! And Sesame has a spell to keep her going that fast for two days," Sun-Dancer moved closer to me, so close her flank touched Storm-Brooke's.

Dan turned Fatum to go through the forest rather then on the open plains. We dodged trees, leaped fallen branches, and swerved around holes. A few arrows flew at us, but never hit us. We burst through the tree line and saw a little town.

"Head straight through the town," I yelped at the others.
