Derek stood and held his hand out to her. "How long do we have," he asked, he couldn't let himself panic because it wouldn't do Julia any good. "Just try to tell me what you know and we'll see what we can figure out. Part of my job is to help people," he added.
"She won't be able to get out," she said, the fear and realization making her voice shake "Unless I'm locked back in it..." Julia stiffened suddenly, looking up and around as her surroundings began to rumble around her. "What's happening?" she asked, standing and reaching out against a wall to keep her balance. The older man looked at the mirror "The tie is being severed." "....this is where the disturbance is coming from -" a voice sounded as if from a distance, from the side Julia was trapped in but on the other side of the 'door' that lead out into the alternate reality. "What happens if they get here before Derek does?" Julia asked, trying not to panic.... too much. The door rattled, as if someone were trying to open it. "If they see you," the older man answered "You will remain." "See what you can do to get it open." another voice on the other side said. And Julia recognized it, as well as the one before it. Nick and Derek... "Are they Legacy here too?" she asked. "They protect the innocent as you do." the man replied. Julia looked at the mirror, blue eyes showing the near panic she refused to show in her voice. The rumbling became stronger, the red glow starting to surround the whole room. ".... we have to go back." Julia's doppleganger said, tone listless. ===== __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
