Emma felt awkward sitting in the police station. The Moon's were being questioned, and Emma was next. Alexis would come later on.

The Moon's left the room staring daggers at poor Emma.

"Ms. Tolly," The officer ushered her into the room and sat her down in a seat. He knew just by looking at the poor girl that the Moon's weren't very nice people. "I'm officer Jameson. The Moon's claim to innocent, but I know they're not. Alexis Smith says that they force you to do all their work and they hid you from your true identity. The fact that they tried to hide who you are is a crime within itself and if you say that it's true, the Moon's will be put through court and the judge will decide their fate."

Emma didn't know what to say to this.

"Ms. Tolly, I need you to answer me. Have they done all the things Ms. Smith said that they've done?

With tears in her eyes, Emma nodded, and gave a small, "Yes,"

"Some arrangements will be made. We have found you file and we'll look for a family member that will take care of you. He opened a small file and turned the pages, "There's only one suitable person in this whole file."

"And who is that?"

"Your Aunt, Julia Ingledew."

"Have any of you seen Emma today?" Olivia approached the group of endowed boys that inhabited the area of the garden by the ruins, Charlie, Lysander, Gabriel, and Billy. There was also Fidelio Gunn. Tancred wasn't there; he was off with Tracy Morsell.

They all shook their heads.

"Hey, Tanc," Lysander called to his best friend as he passed them.

Tancred barely heard him and looked up, "Yes?"

"Have you seen Emma Tolly today?" Lysander asked.

Tancred shook his head and began to walk away when he heard Olivia say, "When my mom was dropping her off at her house on Saturday, these two vile people came out and one of them slapped her across the face. I'm worried that something bad has happened."

Tancred had no clue why this news bugged him. "Are you going to go and see her on Saturday?" He asked the group.

They all nodded, kind of shocked that all Tancred's attention wasn't on his new girlfriend.

"Then I'm coming with you." He turned back to Tracy and tugged her away.

Tracy had been infuriated with Tancred when he said he was going to see if Emma Tolly was okay instead of taking her to see a movie she'd seen about a hundred times. Tancred didn't care, his friends were more important. Even though he had just met Emma Tolly, he felt a very strong connection with her and felt as if he needed to protect her.

The group met down the street from Moonrise and then approached it cautiously.

When Olivia knocked on the door, no one answered and the house seemed ominously vacant.

"You're not going to find anyone in there." An old woman stepped out of the next house. "Those horrendous people have been sent to prison for a week or so until the judge decides what to do with them. If you're looking for Emma, you can find her at Ingledew's bookshop over by the cathedral."

"Why is she there?" Olivia wondered, remembering a week before when they'd gone to that very shop.

"That's her last living relative, Julia Ingledew, and extremely wonderful woman who loves Emma dearly." Alexis smiled. "I only want the best for that girl."

The group thanked Alexis and hurried off towards the bookstore.

Emma enjoyed Ingledew's. She loved books very much, so this was her dream home. Julia Ingledew was a very nice lady and Emma liked her from the very beginning. She already called her Aunt Julia.

Emma had missed a week of school at Bloor's so she would get used to living with her Aunt. She wanted to see Olivia dearly to tell her she was okay and that nothing bad had happened to her. She also wanted to see Tancred, just because when she looked at his face, all her worry and sorrow was replaced with pure bliss.

"Emma you have visitors." Julia opened the curtain to the back room and disturbed Emma in thought. Emma still couldn't believe that she had walked into this store a week before without knowing that this was her aunt. It almost made her feel guilty.

"I'll be right there." Emma placed a bookmark in her book and wondered who was here to see her. Who knew that this was her new home? As she stepped through the curtain, she found herself facing all her new friends from Bloor's, including Olivia and even Tancred Torsson. Emma almost couldn't speak. "Hello."

"Emma!" Olivia cheered and hugged her friend tightly. "We were so worried. We didn't know what happened."

"I'll be back at Bloor's on Monday." Emma promised.

Slowly, her friends left after a few hours of goofing off, leaving Emma with only Olivia and Tancred.

"I'll be right back." Said Olivia, "I have to go to the bathroom."

Emma felt her face heat up. Had Olivia just left her alone with the boy she was in love with?

"So, why aren't you on a date with Tracy? You never leave her side." Emma said, sounding rude, which she hadn't meant.

"I thought that helping a friend was slightly more important." Tancred grinned at Emma. "You do know it's Tancred's father who's the judge, right? He'll talk to his father and the Moon's won't be let off easy."

"That's so cool!" Emma squealed.

Olivia returned and the final two of Emma's remaining friends called their parents and were taken home.

On Monday, Tancred broke up with Tracy. He had no idea why, but he felt like he should, like something was about to happen and he couldn't have Tracy in his life when it did.

As he sat in art class with Lysander and Emma that day, he soon found out why.

The three were drawing silly pictures. Tancred's were the worst but by far the most creative.

"Emma, can we see some of your work? The art teacher said you were extraordinary." Lysander said.

"Of coarse." Emma took out her sketchbook and started to flip through it, showing them each individual drawing.

"And this one's my favorite." Emma smiled as she turned the page, "A tollroc."

She was about to turn the page when Tancred stopped her. He examined the page carefully, looked into Emma's eyes, then drew the picture his mystery girl had dropped out of his pocket.

He unfolded the paper and put it against the recent one that Emma had drawn.

"That's my lucky picture of a tollroc I dropped at the ball." Emma gasped. She couldn't believe Tancred had it. "I thought I had lost it forever and my luck was gone."

"This belonged to the girl I danced with." Tancred told Emma and handed her the drawing. They were both standing next to the table, very close to each other. "I had fallen in love with her."

"And I had fallen in love with the boy I danced with, which was you, Tancred." Emma admitted.

"I can't believe I was so stupid and thought that Tracy Morsell was my mystery girl. All she cares about is herself. The girl I danced with cared about anything but."

Tancred placed a hand on her chin and kissed Emma deeply. He still had no idea why he had over looked Emma, it was so clear that she was his mystery girl.

"So," He whispered, unaware of all the people staring at them, "Do you really think losing that drawing made you lose your luck?"

"No," Emma was smiling, "It only brought more." and they kissed once again, gaining multiple cheers from everyone in the room.
