Emily reached for the stone first, closing her fingers around it tightly, but Jeff had made an almost simultaneous grab for it, desperate to get it back before Emily could accidentally activate it.
Unfortunately, this desperation led to Jeff headbutting his sister as he attempted to secure the stone first.
Emily let out a small yelp, her eyes clenching shut for only a second and she gripped the stone in her fist.
She found herself falling backwards, expecting to collide butt-first with the hard wood floor of her bedroom, but the falling sensation continued.
Emily opened her eyes to find herself hurtling through a tunnel of lights and indistinct, unfamiliar sounds.
Just as she was about to let out a scream of panic, there was one final flash of light, and she awoke with a jolt in another place entirely.
