Missing Home

Lucia finished all the paper work and smiled. The impossible mountains of work from the night before was gone. All the books filed and complaints had been finished. She walked to the window and opened the curtains and blinked. The sky was a fiery red with tints of orange, the unfamiliar color made Lucia pause.

"Right, not Earth." Lucia said quietly as she considered her situation.

The door creaked open and Lucia turned and saw Willow.

The girl looked identical to Winonia. They had the same dark hair and green eyes. Winonia and Lucia had never been particularly close. In the same friend group but not close friends themselves. In fact Lucia could not remember a time she had hung out with Winonia alone. 

As Lucia was lost in thought Willow had made her way to the couch and had scooped up the sleeping Boscha.

"Sorry" She whispered, "but we have school in two hours." The green eyed girl quietly walked out the door and disappeared. Leaving Lucia alone in the office.

Lucia decided to face the window again. She gazed out the glass and looked at this strange new world. Taking in the sights. She saw a wonderful little fairy flying past her window.... then it was brutally murdered by the bird that flew by and swallowed it whole. Blood splatting against Lucia's window.

'Thank God that wasn't open' Lucia thought to herself.

*pop*

Another law needed passing.

Hours later,

Lucia deiced to go outside. She had worked her way through all of the paperwork again and was taking a break. As she stepped outside, she saw Amity arrive via staff.

"Hey." Amity said with a wave. "Need a ride?"

Lucia blinked once, twice, thrice, then nodded her head. She climbed onto the thin wood and tensed her shoulders.

"Does this thing have seatbelts?"

"What's a seatbelt?" Amity replied as they took off.

The wind rushed into Lucia's face as they flew into the sky. They were going impossibly fast. So fast that Lucia was sure she would die in a crash. She gripped Amity's shoulders and closed her eyes. 

"I miss my car!" She screamed into the wind, her skin cold against the wind.
Noticing her fear, Amity slowed down.

Lucia looked down, they were flying over a town. High above the citizens. Everyone looked like ants.

"Isn't there a law against going that fast?!" Lucia asked as she gained a newfound fear of heights.

"Not really, no one regulates that." Amity replied smoothly. The green haired girl spoke smoothly over her shoulder.

"That is the first thing I do when I get back to the Office!" Lucia looked up, afraid to see the ground.

"Right.. about that..." Amity said. "Shouldn't we find a way to get you home?"

"As much as I want to go home, I don't know where to start. I would rather leave that to you." Lucia responded.

"Me?"

"You said you were top student and that you helped assassinate the emperor. Plus you found the spell that brought me here didn't you? Who else can I ask?"

"That's true but.." Amity trailed off uncomfortable.

The two fell into silence as Amity continued to fly. Eventually they stopped in front of a house. It was surrounded by trees, with a large cliff on one side. The house had a big window and a strange looking door. The door itself looked normal but the centerpiece had an ugly face.
