The Unwanteds: unexpected visitors

"thanks for the offer but I don't think you could help us..." Alex said quickly. he just wanted to do this on his own.

The girl thought for a second and shook her head, " I'm gonna help you any way." She said thoughtfully. Alex gritted his teeth.

"How." He asked.

"I don't know... But it just feels like i should okay." She replied tiredly.

the rest of the day was hard. No food or water to feed every body. either they got their home back soon or they would have to starve to death. For Alex that wasn't an option.

Alex got up and walked toward the barn. the old grey building creaking and moaning as he walked up the small rough steps.he opened the door and walked in side. He went into his room and lit a candle. after changing into a fresh pair of cloths he lied in bed.

"Wakey wakey time to get up!" A bright pink face hovered over his. Alex shot up and looked at Pinkie. Studying her, she carried a plate of eggs.Eggs! he thought. He blinked. he had to be dreaming! There was no food last time he checked.

"Where'd you get those!" Alex asked her.

"From a chicken silly!" Pinkie replied with a giggle.

"I know but where did you get the chicken!" He asked. He thought and remembered that the only other food was in Quill.

" From magic!" She squealed, " I wanted to show you that I could help!"
