A portal had appeared in the backyard spooking Ross and I. It was different then the other we went through.

I heard a window shatter and Nick shout, "Cory!"

I looked at Ross and he looked back at me our faces one of confusion.

"Nick, the view is so pretty from up here though!" Cory whined.

"Just be careful." Nick said.
"I will. . Trust me."

"What's going on?" I shout from the spot I'm currently standing in.

"Pictures!" Cory shouted back excitedly before snapping a photograph of us.

Nick climbed out, just as Cory froze.

"Cory?" He asked.

"Something touched me." He said fearfully.

"Maybe you should get back inside." I call up to them.

"I have a bad feeling..." Ross whispered softly.

"Cory. Let's get back inside."
Cory nodded silently.

As the were walking back to the window, Cory slipped.

"Cory!" Nick yelled, grabbing his arm.

Cory sobbed, "Let's go inside please."

"Let's go see if they're alright and tell everyone about this portal." I say.

Ross nods and we head to their room.

"Nick. Is he alright?" Ross asked concerned.

"He's bleeding from scratches on his ankle. Deep scratches." Nick said.

"Oh. How?" I question, nothing grabbed him. He slipped.

"I don't know." Nick said.

"We need to find out." Ross said

"Maybe it has something to do with the portal." I suggested.

Cory groaned in pain, "It hurts..."

Nick grabbed Cory's hand, "He took some pictures. Check those."

"Maybe they'll show something."

I take a look at the photos on the camera. One was taken as he slipped. It showed a blurry black humanoid with long, sharp claws.

"Nick. We found something." I say slightly terrified.

"What is it?" He question looking at us.

Ross showed him the picture.

"Oh. This is bad. What is that?" Nick asked.

"What is what?" Sky asked peeking his head in the room.

"This." I say showing him.

"What is that?" Sky asked.

"Don't know."

"Maybe someone does." Sky said, "Someone who deals in magic."

"Who?" Ross questioned.

"It wouldn't work... he hasn't been seen in years."

"Who?" Nick inquired.

"We need to go see an old friend of mine... A guy named Preston. Preston Danger."

"What does he have to offer?" I scoff.

"He knows where a lot of things and people are." He explained.

"Who are we trying to find?" Ross asked.

"Dan."
