" Freya...." I roll over as I hear something again. " Freya, Freya wake up." I feel him shake me as I get up angrily.

" I told you not to talk to me!" I shout, throwing my pillow at him. I watch as the pillow smacks him in the face, and falls. I turn bright red and shake my head.

" Oh my gosh! Edmund! I'm so sorry! I-I thought you where the other one!" I shout grabbing his hands. I stop, dropping them and look around his room.

" How did I get back here?" I question looking around at his room. His dark blue walls are exactly as the where, with his posters lined up everywhere. Edmund lets go of my grip, running his fingers through my hair.

" Y-You're back." He whispers. I smile at him as he sets his forehead on mine. " Y-You opened a portal in your sleep, at about midnight. I, I felt this big gust of wind and when I looked over, you were sleeping. I pulled you through." Edmund explains.

" Edmund! You need t-" The door opens hard as Vince looks at me. " Freya!!!" Vince shouts, running towards me.

I stare at him as he grabs my hands tightly. " How on Earth did you get back!?" Vince shouts, moving my hair out of my eyes.

Edmund rolls his eyes and gets out of bed. " I-I must have opened another portal while I was asleep." I explain.

" Your room is on Edmund's side of the house?" Vince questions. I look over at Edmund as he rummages through his closet.

" Not exactly, they didn't have a place for me. I-I shared a bed." I explain. Vince let's go of me and looks back at Edmund.

" Y-You shared a bed with the other Edmund?" Vince questions. I can hear in his voice, he's mad. I exhale and shake my head.

" They didn't have a place for me to sleep. Sage felt uncomfortable with me in his, and Vince said he had no room for me because his bed had paperwork." I explain. Vince grabs on his shirt and grits his teeth.

" How lovely." He growls. I stare at him as he shakes his head and looks back at me. " I mean, you seemed to have no other choice! Anyway, how about you just get dressed and I have a present for you!" Vince says trying to hide his emotions.

" A present?" I question. He shakes his head and sets a small box in my hand, pressing a circular piece connected to a wire in my ear. I stare at him as he presses a button, it starts to play music as I stare at it.

" It's an MP3 player! It allows you to listen to music whenever you want." Vince says smiling. He touches each button and smiles.

" This button turns it on and off, as this button changes the volume, and this changes the song." Vince explains. I smile at him and shake my head.

" Oh I love it! Thank you so much! How did you know what songs I liked though?" I question. He smiles at me and looks at Sage.

" Sage gave me a list of songs that you listened to and liked." Vince says. I shake my head as I watch the screen display my songs.

" It displays them! Oh thank you so much! I love it!" I shout. He smiles and kisses me quickly as I turn red.

" You need to get on the bus. Sage, please watch after her, you need to make sure she gets everywhere okay. " Vince says looking back at me.

We shake our heads as Sage grabs my arm, taking me down the stairs and opening the front door. Sage stops in the middle of the yard and looks back at Edmund.

" Oh, the bus is late." Sage says in surprise. Edmund looks over at him and stop, as cold wind blows up my skirt causing me to shiver.

" Freya! Oh my gosh what are you doing!?" Edmund questions taking off his coat. I stare at him as he puts it over my body and shakes his head. " Are you crazy!? It's forty degrees out here." Edmund adds.
