There was a brief moment of satisfaction as Matthew looked on at the wounds he had left Maleficent. Heck even the words he had spoken filled him with a sense of pride and bravery as he saw what he was capable of when defending the guy he loved. Erm liked? Loved? It all washed away however as he noticed the sheild still dissipating and her flames growing larger as he began to wonder what the heck it is he had just done. He put a massive target on his back and he wasn't sure how well he would be able to hold it. His eyes dashed around seeing as everyone was doing their part, even Wednesday Adams seemed to be going toe to toe with the draconic witch. Matthew had thought about stealing another round of knives when suddenly he felt a tug at his arm.

His weight was being pulled and his feet moving backwards rapidly as he finally turned around to see Colby was pulling them through the portal. Matthews heart began to pump louder and louder in his chest. A mixture of adrenaline, fear, and hormones that had him looking at the back of Colbys strong shoulders and thinking 'Damn'. He quickly held the boy close to him from behind, giving him a tight squeeze before letting go and seeing Tink along with some fresh faces. "Tink! Merlin can't hold the portal open much longer he needs help! Maleficent is on the other side attacking us." His cheeks were flushed and pink as he thought about how she may of seen him holding Colby just moments before.

"Wait Meg, what are you talking about?" he said towards his sister, more then a little bit concerned by her words and what it seemed to be implying. He really didn't want Meg to get hurt or something from this entire situation, since being burned to death by a Disney villain likely isn't very high on the potential ways to die list. Though that list at least for him was relatively small, since he would prefer to not die an untimely death and not die right now. He just hoped that Meg had that same sort of idea too.

"Seems to me she's stabbing the bitch," Rosalia commented with a smirk as she watched Megan stab Maleficent causing the fire to more or less die down a little bit. At least someone had decided to do something rather then try and exchange threats with the villain. Since so far everyone hadn't really tried to do much of anything, a few people had more or less thrown a few things or so at her, but no one had really tried to actually stab her or seriously injure her. Sneak attack best thing to do ever.

Glancing over towards the portal that Merlin had created, Rosalia shrugged slightly, "Yup, most definitely on the get the hell out of here side of thing, so off we go," she commented before she headed through the portal and ended up back at the warehouse where they had started. "Well that was eventful, not sure about you all but that was an amazing time, love almost getting burned to death and just flat out attacked by a Disney villain, it's amazing!" she said sarcastically as she wondered a bit away from the portal.

Jack meanwhile glanced over at his sister, and did a quick glance towards the portal now, before he went up to her, grabbed her arm, and dragged her through the portal, knowing he'd feel better with Megan on the side of the portal at the warehouse then still on the trails. "We can see about going back for your car later," he muttered under his breath to her as he pulled her through the and glanced over to see Tinker Bell and Isabella coming into the warehouse. "Well this'll be something interesting to potentially explain, but then again don't feel like explaining anything to the damn fairy, she's annoying," he mumbled, looking at his sister now.

---

Megan rolled her eyes at her brother as he dragged her on through the portal. He could have easily hurt himself on her rapier in the process - the tip of the blade had Maleficent's blood on it still. In Megan's experience, such a small quantity of blood would likely dry soon enough. It wasn't a large pool that would remain around for a while. She hadn't ever cleaned a sword of blood before, yet she imagined it wouldn't be a very different process from cleaning her tools in the autopsy suite. Was a rapier really that dissimilar from a bone saw after all? "If Maleficent blows up my car, you have to carry me to work and do my laundry for a month," she told her brother with the slightest hint of a smirk.

She chuckled a bit at her brother's continued annoyance with Tinker Bell. "I think she dies if people don't believe in her - so maybe you just ought to question her reality." It was either that or clapping, Megan wasn't quite sure. She watched Silence of the Lambs more frequently than she did Peter Pan. She never knew that her knowledge of Disney films would be such crucial information, if she had she would have studied up on them all and prepared.

Merlin was the last to step through the portal, dropping the shield that surrounded them in the process he turned in time to see Maleficent recover now, and sent a massive wall of fire towards them. Merlin managed to close the portal behind him just as a bit of fire came through but harmlessly disappeared. Tinker turned to look at Mathew for a moment when he told her to close the portal giving him a bit of an annoyed look at being ordered to do something by some kid. She then looked at Merlin as she walked over towards him seeing him sweating a little bit and helped Merlin over towards a nearby chair and sat him down as well.

"So, you fought the massive dragon lady from Sleeping Beauty?" Isabella asked as she walked over towards Jack and Megan looking between the two of them for a moment. "Are you two alright?" She asked, mostly towards Jack Megan Isabella knew that she hated or had a major dislike for her. Taylor kind of meandered over towards Rosalia she hadn't really a clue what to do during the fighting with Maleficent she didn't have a proper weapon either really.

Sierra blushed slightly and returned Willow's hug and smiled towards her glad that she was alright. "I'm glad that you are alright as well." Sierra said as she looked at everyone else there was a lot of people here some of them she didn't even know at all but they all were in the same boat apparently. Merlin looked a bit tired for some reason she didn't really know why either at the moment as she sort of stayed at Willow's side. "So, what did you do since we last saw each other?" Sierra asked looking over at Willow since it had been awhile since they last saw each other.

Layla went over and started to pet her cat who immediately started to purr at the attention deciding to let the guy out and picked him up she turned to stare at Cass and shook her head slightly. "Don't make me throw a knife at you instead and use you for target practice." Layla said sarcastically before turning her attention over towards Merlin, as he slowly started to get back up to his feet looking over at everyone. "I can answer any of your questions if any of you have any right now, or if any of you have any last minute arrangements, we are going soon, unless any of you want to remain here still?" Merlin asked.

Cassiopeia smirked at her sister and stood up after scratching Arty through the cage. She placed her bow and arrows back with their bags and looked around at the assembly of people. They had quite the numbers which were impressive but also hard to keep track of and safe. Cassiopeia didn’t like taking more than five people on a hunt at a time. Too many squirrels to keep herded.
She looked over at Merlin when he mentioned getting affairs in order and that they would be leaving soon. ”Ready when you are,” she said, noting Merlin sitting in a chair and trying to get his strength back it seemed.
Cassiopeia looked back at Rose and smiled, nudging her. ”So, fairy tale parents hey? What was your first reaction?”

---

---

Willow watched the new people curiously and then looked at Merlin with a bit of worry until Sierra distracted her and she smiled warmly. ”I learned I’m the daughter of Aurora, so that’s something. She left me a box with a picture of us. Plus a note that said we can trust Merlin.” She looked back at Merlin and smiled a bit.
Merlin mentioned preparing to leave and Willow looked back at Sierra, Rose seemed busy with another girl with fiery red hair as well. ”Are you going to come with us,” she asked Sierra. Willow felt a little more self-assured with Sierra at her side so she desperately hoped she would come.

---

---

---

---

Rose hugged Willow back. "Thank you. If you hadn't gotten there..." Rose trailed off. She didn't want to think about what would have happened. "Well I've got my bag and a bow." She said to Merlin, "So I'm happy. Though I'd like to have my motorcycle. Also, I need to let my boss know I'm quitting. Cause I told him if I didn't come into work tonight I had been kidnapped." Rose grinned a little. She had thought she had three days.

Rose stepped off to the side and called her boss. She spoke with him for a moment giving him reassurance that she really wasn't being kidnapped and sorry she was doing it like this but she had finally gotten a lead on her birth parents and she was going to investigate it. She apologized and quit. Then rejoined at Cass' side.

"Disbelief and then it felt right. Like it was a cloak waiting for me to put it on all along." Rose didn't know who her parents were yet, so she didn't realize how fitting her metaphor was. "Merlin, I've just quit my job so you better be as trustworthy as my friend thinks you are." She gave a slight indication that she spoke of Willow. "I suppose I should have asked this earlier, who are my parents?"

"Hey Tink, welcome to the party. You missed all the fun and fire." Colby let go of Matthew's hand. "I'm gonna grab the cats and our bags. Want to help?" He said. Colby put the sword back in the box, he had no use for it right now. And then went back to the car. He got out his bag and cat carrier. "Sorry Jack, need you to go into the carrier. I promise I'll let you out as soon as I can." He encouraged him into the carrier.

When Matthew joined Colby paused and looked at him. "Be careful, don't lose yourself in whatever happens okay, but don't let the monsters eat you." Colby's eyes were full of concern as he looked at Matthew. "You did good though." A crooked smile crossed his features. "We might find that with answers comes more questions." There was only one question Colby cared about, was a relationship with Matthew fate or chance? He hated the idea of true love. Love took work.

---

---

---

---

Matthew shrugged as Tink gave him a look. He wasn’t quite sure what was bothering her, seeing as how they were just in a high tense situation. He thought about it for a moment, deciding it wasn't worth the effort and that if she had an issue with him she could either keep it to herself or go back to Pixie Hollow. For once he felt fine, had some semblance of confidence, and he was getting to spend more time than ever with Colby. Sure there was an evil faerie that had the power to turn into a dragon after them, but that was an issue for the future and not the here and now. He felt as Colby let go of his hand, nodding towards him as he was asked if he wanted to help with their supplies.

Matthew followed him out of thr warehouse and towards the car, once out of earshot he opened with "Whats with Tink?" completely caught off guard as Colby both praised him and scolded him? Warned him? It was hard to read and definitely soured the mood a bit. Matthew looked down at his feet, kicking up some dirt as he pulled on his shirt. "I-I know. I-I need to be more careful b-but. I couldn't let her hurt you." He had always wanted to find his parents, talk to them, see them and spend some time with them but...the more time he was spending with Colby recently the more he was beginning to feel that he was finding himself in him. Maybe he didn't need his parents? But he knew he needed Colby. He grabbed his carrier as well as his fathers hat, placing it on his head as he watched Colby lovingly, allowing a smal smile to creep onto the corner of his lips.

"Wow Megan, you are so nice to me regarding everything. Seriously," he said towards her with a small laugh, shaking his head. Of course, he was more then a little annoyed that Tinker Bell was still hanging around, since the fairy was definitely more then a little bit annoying. The fairy was a bit dumb in his mind, and that was likely not going to change. He wasn't too sure what all was going to happen right now, since apparently they were all there right now which was some weird important thing.

Rosalia was a little bit bored regarding everything. Once they had gone through the portal and were no longer up against a crazed Disney villain who could throw fire and potentially turn into a dragon (something she actually was somewhat wishing to see, but also wasn't wanting to face a dragon) everything calmed down waaaaaay too quickly for her liking. She would have preferred for things to slow down slightly, but not end all at once. Now she was insanely bored, and really wanting to get things going rather quickly already.

Hearing Isabella's words towards him, he shrugged slightly, "I mean you two took off in your cars before us so not exactly like we could easily tell you, and not to be rude but I hate the fact that the fairy was trying to be a babysitter even though we probably could have figured out a way if we had more time and not the fairy how to get you out of the trap thing... But that's just me... So what's up with you? Glad to be joining in on the insanity here or whatever and not trapped by a Disney villain? You get used to it, maybe, who knows?"

Glancing over towards Taylor as she came over, Rosa looked at the others as Merlin asked if anyone had any questions regarding the entire situation. Any questions that she had had really had been answered by then, at least for the most part. The only questions she had probably could only be answered once they had reached their destination, and only really could be answered by her parents. This whole thing was a bit strange, and there wasn't much that she needed to grab, her puppy was there with them, and that was all that really mattered, since she didn't really have anything else. "Let's just get going if we are going anywhere," she commented with a shrug.

---

---

Megan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Isabella as she came over asking if she was alright. Megan was fairly certain that Isabella just cared since she wanted to sleep with her brother - something that Megan couldn't imagine any human being on the planet wanting to do, but apparently, the daughter of Jasmine and Aladdin wanted to. Some people just had insanely weird taste. Her brother wasn't relationship material at all - the only things he consistently spent time and attention on were doughnuts and coffee. "I'll leave you two to it, Romeo and Juliet," Megan told Isabella and Jack dryly.

She stepped off away from them, her eyes narrowing a little bit as Merlin mentioned they would be leaving soon. She didn't really know what was going on. She didn't know what to expect on the other side of the portal. She supposed that she ought to have been concerned about her work and her life here, but as Megan thought on it, there sadly wasn't much keeping her here. It was her and her brother against the world, just like it always had been. "Where exactly are we going?" she asked Merlin.

Merlin turned to look over at Rose when she asked who her parents were and nodded towards her it was really tough to try and get to trust him and just drop everything. "I know that, and it will all be worth it I assure you. And you are the daughter of Red, the Little Red Riding Hood." Merlin answered her, as he tried to clear his mind some more, they couldn't really get her bike sadly since it was out in the woods still and that they were leaving really soon as well.

Sierra turned to look over to stare a Merlin wondering who her parents actually were as well. "Of course i'm going to be going, I've been wanting to know who they have been for a long time now who are my parents?" Sierra asked finally when Merlin turned to address her. "You are the daughter of Princess Ariel and Prince Eric." Merlin answered, she was both surprised and not really she always did enjoy the water quiet a bit as well. And had been trying to also become a marine biologist as well in college Sierra looked over and grabbed herself a sword from the weapons box just for protection she felt pretty useless during the whole fight with Maleficent.

Taylor reached out to gently pet Lucky who poked his head out again and licked her hand again before looking over at Rosalia for some attention. "Then who are my parents?" Taylor finally asked since she had gotten a letter as well not to long ago along with the others. "Goldie Locks." Merlin answered Taylor. Layla made her way over to the stash of weapons seeing what there were, and noticed some throwing axes as well, which was something that she always did want to try at some point as well. They were certainly different from throwing knives since they were a lot bigger as well, she picked them up. Her sister was good with a bow, she was great with throwing weapons.

Isabella stared at Megan and blushed slightly she didn't like Jack in that way at all, he was her partner after all as she looked at Jack. "Why does your sister hate me?" She asked, shaking her head slightly crossing her arms over her chest and looked at Jack again. "So, did you want to make any calls to work or whatever? Oh you and the fairy chick would make a really cute couple by the way." She said teasingly to Jack.

Isabella hadn't made the call that she was quitting yet, but she was certainly going to be going on this, she had wanted to know who her parents actually were as well. Merlin then stood up as her turned to look at Megan when she asked where they would be going. "We are going to be going to Camelot." Merlin said as he started to turn around and then opened up a portal. "This is anyone's last chance if anyone wants to back out." Merlin said looking at everyone.

Matthew looked into the car, grabbing his own carrier and sticking a finger into one of the small holes. "Hey buddy, how're you feeling about all this huh? Hopefully all these new scents and sounds aren't going to be too overwhelming." Carroll nuzzled against his finger, purring as if he didn't have a care in the world. Matthew opened up the carrier and snapped his fingers above his shoulder, allowing Carroll to run along his arm and up his shoulder, nuzzling against his neck until he finally curled around it and laid down. One of the best things to come from Colbys friendship was his aptitude to train cats to listen and do things Matthew had never thought they could do. If they were going to continue this venture then he wouldn't want for Carroll to be trapped in a carrier the whole way.

"Best thing you've ever taught him. Honestly it should make this whole ordeal a lot easier." Matthew sighed as he leaned against the door of the car, teetering back and forth fort a moment as he scratched his cats head. [Color=99CC00]"What a mess this all is. Do you think it'll be like this all the time now? Chased by a dragon and constantly escaping death? Or will we be able to slow down and have a cuppa with some lovely sweets to eat?">/color] His eyes didn't meet Colbys gaze. Not wanting to have him see the worry in his eyes while simultaneously wishing Colby would gently lift his chin to have them meet eyes. But he wasn't the type, not usually.

---

Cassiopeia nodded along with Rose’s statement. She of course felt much the same but she was still a bit wishy washy on the whole thing. She was going, she wanted to know for sure but the unknown worried her as much as it excited her. She looked over at her sister, watching her pick out throwing axes and bit down on a comment. Merlin then announced who Rose’s parents were and she grinned a little. ”We’ll need to find you a red cloak,” she noted with a wink.
She slipped off, going to her stuff and pulled on her pack and belted it on before she picked up her one cat carrier. She wondered how the cats would adjust to this foreign place and if they would have a place in Camelot to roam. Cassiopeia walked over to Merlin and waited for the next portal they would have to walk through.

---

---

Willow smiled, hearing who the parents of some of the others were. Like Sierra and Rose. She smiled a little more at Sierra, apparently another child of a princess and looked at Merlin. Willow was more than ready to leave the home she had always known. It was scary for sure but she was eager to learn of a new world.
She gathered up her bag and looked at Sierra, excited that she wanted to go still. She was curious about what Camelot would hold for them or where they would be staying but Willow decided to hang onto her questions until they were there. The nerves were settling in now like that of the moment before a big trip or a plane ride.

---

Rose had not expected Red Riding Hood as her mother. She looked at her tattoos on her wrists. On one wrist was a wolf, the other was a rose. She snorted a small laugh. She only knew the old tale of Red Riding Hood. She had been eaten by a wolf, but she had spent her whole life loving wolves. Interesting. At Cass's comment, Rose smiled brightly. "I have my backpack and my riding jacket. I'm like the cooler version of the classic tale."

"Oh, uh, I took this bow without permission. May I keep it?" Rose asked Merlin. She had a bow at her house, but she wasn't getting a chance to go home. She watched as Cass and a few others were dealing with cats in carriers, or in two cases cats just sitting calmly on the shoulder of two guys. The ones she had seen holding hands earlier. "Also, if we're going to be working all together should we do introductions. I don't know most of you."

---

---

---

---

"I think Tink is just grumpy cause she lost her job. We're all going back, what is she gonna do now?" Colby shrugged. Jack climbed up onto his own shoulder. "Just cause Carroll did huh?" He asked and scratched Jack's chin. Colby started heading back inside the warehouse with his bag over his shoulder. "I hope we get some breathing room."

Colby paused in his walking toward the warehouse and smiled at Maddie. "We'll be fine." He reached over and pet Carroll and then let his hand rest on Maddie's shoulder and gave it a small squeeze. "We've got this." He was worried about Maddie. "I'll protect you. I've gotten into my fair amount of fights."

He took a deep breath and then walked into the warehouse. He looked at the girl in the red jacket as she was asking for introductions. "I'm Colby. Chesire cat is my dad."

"Rose, apparently my mom is Little Red Riding Hood." Colby snorted at that. It made sense the girl wore a red jacket and had a red backpack on. She looked like she probably rode motorcycles.

---

---

Jack gave his sister a bit of a weird look when she made her comment and wandered away a little bit from him and Isabella. Hearing Isabella's words, her question about why Megan seemed to hate her, he just shrugged in response. "I honestly have no clue, I wish I could understand everything that goes through her head. That would make my life a whole lot easier honestly," he said to her as he looked over once again at what seemed to be being said. Sounded like a few other people were finding out who their parents were, and considering who he had learned was his father (plus the story associated with him) he wasn't too keen to say much about that one to anyone.

Rosalia was listening as Taylor asked who her fairy tale parents were, and she had to stop herself just in time from laughing in response to it. Considering what she knew about Taylor, it wasn't at all surprising that her mother apparently was Goldielocks, though it was more then a bit odd to think about. Since most stories involving Goldielocks and the Three Bears had the heroine portrayed as a child, so thinking about her having a kid was more then a little bit strange. "Never thought of Goldielocks ever really having a kid, since she tends to be portrayed as a kid but eh, there are worse fairy tale characters."

The conversation seemed to be going around and around about if anyone had anything else that they needed to do say so now otherwise they were all going off to Camelot apparently, and Isabella asking him if he wanted to call in work or whatever. "If we called them what do you think you'd say to them? Oh by the way, I need some time off since we're going to go visit Camelot? Yeah that likely would not end all too well, so I'm fine with not calling anyone about it, it definitely would make life a whole lot less confusing in a way..."

She glanced over at Merlin as he started opening up a portal, telling everyone that this was their last chance to back out, otherwise they were all going to Camelot! Her mind thought about potentially backing out of it, to just go back to her normal life of thievery and think nothing of what had happened today so far. There was one thing that stopped her though, and that was her curiosity. Rosalia wanted to know who her parents were, and meet them at least, and she wanted to know if there was at least one place in the universe where there were people who wanted her around.

Merlin looked over towards Rose and gave her a smile and nodded towards her. "Take whatever weapons you think you may need." Merlin told Rose as he concentrated on holding the portal open for everyone to get through. The sooner that everyone would get through the harder chance that Maleficent will find out that they all had gone back home. Isabella looked at Jack and gave a slight shrug, it was really his choice she didn't really care either way of informing anyone that she was leaving. "I guess people will start filing missing persons reports on us." Isabella said giving a slight shrug as she stared at the portal for a moment, still amazed that all this magic stuff was actually real.

Taylor stared at Rosalia and gave a slight shrug she had heard of the fairytale growing up as well, maybe they got the stories all wrong or it had been a lot of time that passed and she was a lot older now. Layla stared at the portal again as she adjusted her stuff slightly while shifting around some of her things, her cat meowing to get out as well. "We can probably get the introductions all done when we get through the portal. Unless you want to flirt with my sister some more." Layla said jokingly towards Rose and started to make her way through the portal

Sierra watched as one of the girls ran through the portal and looked towards the others, before speaking up. "I'm Sierra, it's nice to meet all of you." She said, aside from the people that she actually knew Sierra didn't know a lot of the others here though, she watched as Taylor ran through the portal now as well and looked towards Willow. "See you on the other side I guess." She said following the younger girl as well.

On the other side of the portal it was well into the evening, as Layla looked around she had found herself in some woods she could hear the occasional bird chirping and crickets as well. Which did remind her a little bit of some of her hunting trips, she looked over her shoulder seeing some others coming through the portal now as well along with Tinker as well. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary for her at least anyway as well. "Well we aren't in Kansas anymore literally." Layla said jokingly.

---

---

---

---

"Thank you, Merlin." It felt ridiculous as she said his name. Like it was some fake name. She couldn't quite believe it completely still. She had seen some weird stuff but it felt like a really elaborate prank so far. When the cop lady mentioned that people were going to start filing missing person reports about them Rose frowned. She didn't want the Buckners to think she had been kidnapped so she sent them a quick text. "I'm okay, but I found a lead about my birth parents and I'm going to check it out. I'll try to contact you soon, but I don't think my phone will have a signal. Love you both and thank you." It wasn't much. She should call them, but she wanted what was on the other side of the portal too much.

"Trust me I always want to flirt with your sister more." Rose said grinning at Layla. She followed after Sierra through the portal into her homeworld. And home felt like the right word. The trees and the world fit in with the little bit of memory she had from before the Buckners had found her. She had repressed a lot of them, but she remembered telling them about how everything seemed to be alive. She remembered her mother and the wolf protecting her. Maybe in the real version of the little red riding hood, the wolf became friends with the kid who would grow up to become her mother. How odd was that thought?

But for all of the correct-ness of this wood, it wasn't the right one. It was close, but this wasn't the one the cottage from her memory was. She didn't feel like if she walked just the right path she'd find it and smell cookies baking, but it was close. Closer than she had ever been in her whole life to finding the right woods.

There was a good spread of fairy tale kids. A part of Colby felt bad for leaving Pandora behind. She hadn't been a friend, but she had been interesting. He lifted his chin as he stepped through the portal. He never made a call or left a text for anyone. Only the note for his roommates would tell the world what he had gotten involved in. Colby didn't care. He was happy to be leaving this place. Happy that he had Matthew going with him.

Once they were through the portal he looked around taking in the view. They were in a wood. This wasn't the wood of Wonderland though. Wonderland was too non-sensical for this wood to be the right place, which made sense. Camelot was traditionally part of England. Wonderland was a different world entirely. Full of strange creatures and plants.

Colby had already introduced himself so he didn't bother to do it again, and he decided he'd let Matthew introduce himself. What was interesting to Colby though was all these kids had at one point been to the same orphanage, how odd was it then that they didn't really remember each other. It made sense for Colby as he was one of the younger people in the group. He had been barely a toddler when he had been adopted, but some of them were much older. Like Rose looked like she was mid-twenties. Did she remember a young Matthew desperate to be adopted and leaving him behind?

Camelot. The word sent a shiver down Megan's spine. Everything so far was seemingly real and true, and if they were going to Camelot, then that meant they were going to her birthplace. Would she meet her parents within a matter of minutes? She hadn't woken up that morning thinking the gigantic question of her life, the gaping hole in her story, was about to be answered. One of the girls - the daughter of Little Red Riding Hood - suggested that they do introductions. Beyond her brother, she didn't really know anyone there either.

"I'm Megan," she introduced herself. She didn't add the names of her supposed birth parents since she felt they didn't define her identity. She glanced at her brother and raised an eyebrow, a bit curious since he hadn't introduced himself and he tended to be the more social one of the pair. She then walked on through the portal, leaving the warehouse behind as she emerged in a quiet wood. It took a moment before she realized that she actually remembered this wood. If her memory was right, there should be a road nearby...

”Cool isn’t the word I would use,” Cassiopeia said to Rose with a wink. Sexy maybe or bloody gorgeous. Red was one hundred percent Rose’s colour, couple that with her leather jacket and the bike she rode and it was no wonder Cassiopeia didn’t stop to stare whenever her crush drove by. She nearly ran into a light post because of it once.
Cassiopeia watched her sister walk through the portal first, bold as every and then a few of the others. She opted to wait until she was on the other side before saying anything. Cassiopeia didn’t hesitate, walking through the portal after Rose and one other girl. She smiled a little, seeing they were in a forest. She breathed in the familiar scent of the forest and sighed, her shoulders relaxing.
”Well this I could get used to.” She turned to the others and gave them a slight wave. ”I’m Cassi, that’s my twin Layla and we’re the daughters of Robin Hood,” she said. You could hear the pride in her voice when she said that and looked over at Layla, stepping to her. ”So, where are we to travel to in Camelot?” She looked back at Merlin.

---

---

”Willow, daughter of Sleeping Beauty,” Willow announced after Sierra spoke. She watched Merlin open the portal and took a deep breath. This was it, the beginning of everything. A new chapter for her. She smiled at Sierra and nodded, watching her friend walk through and then Rose as well. Willow took another steadying breath before walking through the portal with her bag and the daggers she had acquired from Merlin’s chest.
A forest opened up before her and she looked around, feeling a slight chill from the evening air. She looked up, searching for stars through the canopy of the trees. She didn’t have much sense for direction and so felt lost and disoriented already. Unconsciously, she moved closer to Sierra, looking around at the darkness closing in. She heard one of the girls speak up, saying they were the daughter of Robin Hood and she breathed a little. They should have a good sense of direction, then again, they still had Merlin.

Matthew couldn't help but chuckle a bit as Colby mentioned the loss of Tinks job. Sure it was a serious concern and situation, but the idea of it was all too funny. He gave the Cheshire boy a brief smile and nod as they made their way back into the Warehouse interior. He listened in as Rose introduced herself to the pair, suggesting that everyone do the same as Matthew walked past them and mouthed to Colby that he would be heading towards the chest again. After the fight with Maleficent he figured he should keep some throwing daggers on hand, just in case. He squatted down and grabbed a few throwing daggers, putting them away before standing back up and facing the crowd. The portal to Camelot was now ready and others were filing through one by one.

Matthew once again held his breath as he stepped through the portal. He wasnt sure as to why he did it, but something inside of him told him not to breath as he crossed the threshold. As soon as he arrived into the forest of Camelot, his eyes looked around in wonder as he'd never fully been in a forest like this. Still looking around he said out to Rose and the others "Names Matthew, Fathers the Madd Hatter." Matthew tipped his fathers hat that lay on his head, turning to face Colby and Rose. "Not that this isn't impressive or anything but...i expected...i don't know...fairies? Toadstool, something extraordinary."

"I'll be honest, that would be entertaining somewhat, to actually be able to see them all sort of freak out over a lot of people from around town suddenly all go missing at once. Yup, kind of wish I'd be able to see that, but eh, what else can you really do about it?" he said with a sort of laugh towards Isabella regarding her comment about what likely is going to happen regarding everything else. It was something somewhat hilarious to think about, since it was kind of funny image in his mind. Though he wondered how everyone who knew the group would feel afterwards.

Rosalia wasn't too sure what to think still, they were apparently going to a world of magic that was far far away, and still really weird. If someone told her this morning that her parents were royalty and that she was originally born in a land of magic that was very different from their own world she would have told them that they were crazy and thought nothing else of it. She also probably would have pick pocketed that random person, whoever they might have been, before kicking them in the shin and taking off elsewhere.

Glancing at the portal that had been created, he glanced over at Isabella again, "Well no time like the present to take a leap of faith and see where we end up," he added, before he followed after his sister, heading into the portal that was ahead of him, ending up in a wooded area of sorts, and he looked over at his sister, walking over so that he was standing next to her. "So, you nervous to meet your parents or what? Must be fun to learn that you are essentially royalty," he said, teasing her slightly with that last part, but he was wondering what was going through her head. When it came to everyone introducing themselves, he looked over at them before speaking up, "My name is Jack," he said, not all too keen on mentioning that apparently his father was a villain, since from what he was hearing most everyone else was the child of a hero.

She picked up her bag again, making sure that Lucky was still safely tucked inside as she looked at the puppy with a slight smile, and glancing over towards the portal. "Let's get going then, get this over with and see where we're from, what do you say to that?" she said towards Taylor with a shrug, before Rosalia headed through the portal after everyone else and ended up in what she assumed was likely some part of Camelot. Made her wonder why they didn't get sent directly into the castle or something, though if she had some sort of guess it probably had something to do with Maleficent or something like that. She didn't really want to introduce herself to any of the weirdos around her, that was for sure.
