One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

As soon as he saw her bright eye, he cried out in surprise, and a little bit of fear.

This, of course, caused HER to become more scared.

And that's when her brother extended his arms out, palms towards her.

Out of some... instinct... he looked like he channelled something.

And a hole opened up in the floor, right under his sister.

Jordan hadn't a chance to say anything, before she'd fallen through the hole, the portal that he'd created... and was gone.

Darrell was alone in the den.

His mother was in the shower, and he'd been trusted to take care of Jordan for the fifteen or so minutes that she'd be in there while Jaden wasn't home.

He was completely alone in the den, but didn't have that eye piercing through him.

"......" Darrell was silent for a moment.

Immediately, he was relieved that that eye wasn't piercing through him.

However, that relief was extremely short-lived, as he was then filled with panic.

His sister wasn't here. She was gone.

He'd caused her to go... and he didn't know WHERE, exactly.

He started to panic, looking back and forth, and looking at his hands.

"Jordan!? Where are you!?" he asked, looking behind all the furniture.

"Come on, where are you!? Please come out!"

Darrell received silence in response. Nothing but an almost heavy silence.

No matter where he looked, or how loud he called, he couldn't find her. She really was gone.

He was checking her room when his mother stepped out of the bathroom, freshly showered, with her hair mostly in a towel.

"Darrell! Jordan!" She called as she made her way to the kitchen, knowing she had to get a start on dinner so her kids to eat. However, she didn't know what they wanted, so she wanted to ask.

Darrell froze for a moment, panicking even more.

"Ah.. ah..." he stammered.

"Be right there!" he called out.

However, Desiree had had her headphones on, and while they didn't give her perfect hearing, they gave her damn good hearing.

And she was a mother.

She knew panic and hurriedness when she heard it.

Desiree sighed lightly, grateful that she had grabbed her headset already. She usually did, as she knew that her children knew she was deaf.

When Darrell reached her, she was looking in the cupboards to find something for food for them. When she turned to face who she assumed was both, she froze.

". . . Darrell? Where's your sister?" She asked, her voice curious.

"Could you go get her please? She has a say in this too."

Darrell looked ready to cry.

"Ah... ah... I... she..." he stammered.

"I don't know!" he yelled.

"She-came-in-to-the-room-and-she-looked-at-me-and-her-eye-was-all-glowy-and-she-yelled-and-then-I-yelled-and-then-she-yelled-and-then-I-put-my-arms-out-and-a-hole-appeared-and-she-fell-in-and-she's-gone-and-I-can't-find-her!" he exclaimed further, in one run-on sentence.

"I'm sorry!" he apologised, now crying.

"I don't know what happened!" he yelled.

"I didn't mean to!!!"

Desiree was completely silent as darrell said what he did.

".... take a breath, Darrell." She said. There was some annoyance and anger to her voice, but it was mostly calm and kind.

"Seriously. Just breathe. You need to calm down." She said. "So just take a few breaths and try to calm your nerves."

"Afterwards, tell me that again. This headset is good, but that was completely lost on me."

Darrell took a few breaths, though they were broken by sobbing and hiccuping.

After a second, he looked at her.

He then told her again what happened. Jordan's eye, the panic from both of them, and how a hole had opened up under her. He knew he'd done it, but he didn't know how, or where it went.

"I'm sorry, Mommy!" he apologised again.

"I didn't mean to do it!"

Desiree just sighed, heavily. She wanted to lash out, but knew that she couldn't, it wouldn't be right for her to.

"We need to find her then.' She said simply.

"I will be right back. Don't move." With that, she left the room and made her way to the bedroom. She grabbed her phone before making her way back to where she'd left her son. Once there, she handed her phone to Darrell.

"Call your dad." She told him simply.

"Considering you're saying a hole, you take after him for mana. I can't help with that." She added.

"Get his help."

Darrell accepted the phone, and called his Dad.

He sat down and talked with him, having a conversation, before hanging up.

"He... he says to talk to Vincent." he told him.

"Get him to scry for her." he said further.

"I... I don't know if he means here or there." he continued.

"Should I call him, or you?" he then asked.

Desiree just sighed lightly.

"You can call him. You're the one who did this, after all." She told him simply.

"Do you know his number?" She asked.

"If you don't, then go through my contacts and find him."

"N-no, I know it." he stammered, before dialling the phone.

Meanwhile, Vincent and Rowena were sitting in the backyard, enjoying the sun, when Vincent's cell went off.

He picked it up and answered it, after looking at the I.D.

"Hello?" he said.

"...." he was then silent, before quickly speaking. "Darrell, Darrell, calm down." he told the boy. "Just calm down and tell your mother I will help." he said further.

There was then another silence, before he sighed.

"I'll go to you." he said. "I'll be there in a couple of minutes." he finished, before hanging up.

"Rowena, I have to go." he told his wife.

"Long story short, Jordan seems to have inherited Desiree's eye, it manifested, both she and Darrell freaked out when they saw each other, Darrell manifested a portal under her, and now I need to scry for her." he summarised.

Rowena was silent before sighing.

"I hope she can be found." She commented.

"Young or new mana can be ... extremely volatile." She added before shaking her head.

"go. Go help them out."-

"Of course." Vincent responded.

Within a matter of a couple of minutes, Vincent was with Desiree and Darrell, with everything he needed.

"All right." he said, spreading it out.

"This... should work." he told them, grabbing the crystal and string.

"Desiree, are you ready to move as soon as we have an answer?" he asked Desiree.

Desiree nodded.

"Of course." She assured him with a bit of a sigh.

"Once you find my daughter, I'll go grab her." She then said. "It'd be too much of a task to try without some help. And I can't scry to save my life."

Vincent nodded and began the process.

The string and crystal looked to be wild and erratic, before the crystal slammed down somewhere.

"...there." he said.

He then looked down at the location.

"...looks like a park." he said.

"In... Ireland...?" he went on.

Desiree knew the place. They'd been there before on vacation... and given that it was Darrell... it was probably by the play area that he'd liked so much.

Desiree just laughed lightly.

"I think I know exactly where." She commented.

"Vincent, would you mind watching Darrell while I go grab Jordan?" She asked. After he'd agreed, she vanished in a burst of wind. Sure enough, she returned - with her daughter - a couple minutes later.

"Don't worry, Darrell won't hurt you." Desiree assured her slightly worried daughter.

"But first, before anything, you need a bath." She added.

". . . . I landed in mud." Jordan admitted.

"Yeah.... I can tell." was all Desiree said as she started to walk to the bathroom, carrying her daughter so that she didn't track the mud anywhere throughout the house.

Vincent looked at Darrell after Desiree and Jodan left, and sighed.

"Hmmm." he mumbled.

"A place you've been before?" he asked.

"Yeah." Darrel replied. "A park that I really like." he said.

"And I'll bet that, even though you were scared, you sent her there because it's a place you trusted, and I bet you knew she'd be safe there." Vincent added.

"...I guess so...?" Darrel replied confusedly.

Vincent just chuckled.

"You're a good kid." he said.

'Overall, he really is." Desiree agreed as she stepped into the room. She'd set Jordan in the bathroom and was letting her get herself stripped down as she turned the water on. Thankfully, her and Jaden had been surprised by Sydney installing a mana censor that would NOT let the water of the tub or sink overflow. It would automatically turn off at a level that they determined.

"Just has the odd time where he's a bit of an irritation." She added with a light chuckle before sighing lightly.

"Anyway, Darrell, now that you're a bit calmer than you were before... is there anything you can tell me along with what you said already? Now that your sister is home and safe again."
