World Outside Time: Jubilee a few days later

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

Jubee sat on a balcony, her diary open on her lap as she smiled into the sunlight shone down on her.

She smiled into it, then looked down and started to write all about hunting with Sir Logan in the jungles. She was getting better at using the special boots that helped her move over the void. She'd even almost not gotten stuck a few times before she had to yell for Anmut's help, but with practise she'd learn to only need the winged woman's help a few times, like Sir James.

She continued to write for a while, smiling to herself. Her time here, in the World Outside Time, seemed like a beautiful, comfortable dream, and her life before... well... that seemed like somebody else's life, like a scarey, depressing book that she'd left on the shelf and almost forgotten.

This seemed a good enough place to stay, and live, and never think about problems again... this was so perfect.

She sighed and smiled, leaning back against the wall and closing her eyes, enjoying the sun.

A small dragon appeared and sat on Jubee's knee, then snapped it's jaws to get her attention before it jerked it's head towards the girl far below, and looking Jubee froze, then bolted upright, staring in shock before she jumped up.

"Anmut!" she yelled, but there was nobody around, and scared this girl was dying she tossed down her diary and launched herself from the top of the castle, falling quickly with the gravity, but feeling at once when she was just going forward and no longer being pulled down.

She sucked in her breath, and then frantically activated her shoes, managing to stop herself just at the girl's side before she quickly checked for a pulse and breathing, pulling the girl to her and then looking up over to the castle, knowing she needed to get this girl inside, now.

Firecracker opened her eyes with a wince and a weak growl, then gasped as the scent hit her. "Mama?"

"I... don't think so," Jubee frowned, but she couldn't tell. This girl... looked like her.... But she shook her head and carefully, wobbly, started to go towards the castle, doing her best

"If I am I'm only a different version. now shh... I'm gonna get you inside and we'll patch you up, kay?"

"'Kay." Those bright blue eyes closed wearily. "Hurts...."

There was a soft waft of air as Anmut braked next to them and put out her arms. "Give her to me und get on my back, Leibling."

"Shh, you'll be ok," she assured the girl, then nodded and carefully gave her to Anmut.

"I was so scared you didn't hear," she gulped, moving around and climbing on, careful to not pull on her wings, even if she knew it wouldn't hurt her anyway.

"Arm around my neck," instructed her friend. Then those massive wings swept into motion, bringing them quickly to the castle. The girl moaned as they came into the gravity and Anmut murmured to her softly.

"Did I look like her when I got here?" Jubee asked softly, peeking over her friend's shoulder and staring at the girl sadly.

"Your hurts vere on the outside, Leibling." Anmut looked down at the young stranger's pale skin and the strange garment that she wore that was barely long enough to cover her butt. "I cannot see any vounds on her, but she is clearly hurt und sick." She put down her feet and folded her wings to give the girl a more comfortable travel bed, then walked toward the gate with Jubilee still hanging around her neck.

"Yeah. Still are," she slid down and frowned, righting herself before hurrying after her. "Can we help her? I mean, at the least, you can, right?"
