“You’re already leaving?” Brian asked, worried.

Ximly nodded, “Tana needs her car…. And the Haven needs me as well.”

Brian gave a nod and then hugged his mother tightly. “Be safe…. Portals don’t like cars….”

Ximly laughed, “Tana’s got that one charmed, I’ll be fine Brain.”

She then patted Timmy on the head as well as Brian, and gave her mother a hug once her adopted son let go of her. “I’ll see you guys soon.”

“Be careful Ximly….” Granny said quietly, her arms crossed.

“I will.” Ximly said with a nod as she started towards the car. She opened the door and got in, started it and rolled down the window. “Start the portal Morty!”

The weasel gave a nod and slinkied down from his perch on Granny’s shoulder, and then ran off to behind the house, his little vest fluttering in the wind. Within moments the steady beat of a drum could be heard, but as it sped up, it sounded as if it were going in a circle.

The space where the car was wavered, and within moments, the car was gone. Brian looked to his grandmother with a worried look. “Something’s going to happen to her…. I just know it….”

The car appeared in one piece a few hours later, with an annoyed Ximly sitting in the driver’s seat. She slammed her fist on the steering wheel and cursed, this wasn’t good. Morty had put her in the wrong place….. Ximly shook her head and started the car before looking at a GPS that had been put into the dash board drawer. She was days away from the haven….. and she was going to kill that weasel, as Tana was going to kill her for leaving the car in the middle of nowhere. Ximly turned the car off, and her ears twitched as the engine died…..

She looked out the window, and her eyes widened in horror as a large black shape was speeding towards her. Defensively, and instinctively, Ximly morphed, completely, and held her arms over her head, and covered her neck with her hands as she ducked, seconds later being tossed along with the car into a nearby ditch as the figure flew back into the sky. The car lay crumpled into a cylinder, sharp, jagged edges everywhere due to the split metal. Glass was spread in a trail to the car, some of it covered in a black and red liquid…..blood…..
