"It goes back a long time when Elisa was just 11 years old. It was the first summer after her father died. Elisa was still having a hard time dealing with his death."

"What happened to him?" Angela asked.

"Elisa told me that he died in the line of duty." Matt said.

"Elisa told me the same." Goliath said, "He died protecting his partner from a criminal they were interrogating."

Diane nodded. She wasn't surprised that Elisa told both Matt and Goliath about her father. Diane knew that Elisa was close to both of them.

"During that first summer I took Elisa to the Museum of Nature History. It was the place where her father was planning on taking her a year before. So in honor of his memory I decided to take her there."

Young Elisa Maza walked around the Museum of Nature History. Today was a special event for children. Special exhibits were placed so they can have a hand on experience with artifacts and learn about the ancient history behind the artifacts. Elisa was really enjoying the exhibits and the displays they had. Seeing all the history and exhibits the museum had to offer fascinated her. Though she was having a great time at the museum deep down she really wished her father was here to enjoy it with her. But she was still happy to have her mother with her to share this event with. As she and her mother continued to walk around the museum Elisa spotted a balloon stand.

"Mom, look at over there. They have a balloon stand." Diane looked at the direction Elisa was pointing at and sure enough there was a balloon stand next to the Space Exhibit. Each balloon was shaped as a moon or a star.

"I see would you like one Elisa."

"Yes, please."

"Alright." Diane reached for her wallet and took out the cash. "But we can only buy one today."

"Ok then. I'm going ask the balloon man to make the big super big." They walked up to the balloon stand and as they did young Elisa wanted to ask her mother something.

"Mom, do you think if we bought a lot of balloons we can fly towards the sky."

"It could be possible but we would need a lot of balloons in order to do so. Why do you ask?"

"I was just thinking that maybe if we had enough…then…maybe we can go to the sky and see dad."

Diane and Elisa stop mid-way. Diane looked at her daughter with sadness in her eyes. She knew this year was very hard on everyone but even harder on Elisa. Diane came down on her knees to see Elisa eye to eye.

"Honey, I know that you miss your father. I miss him too. And maybe one day you can see him again. But as long as you keep the memories of him alive he will always be with you. Like a star in the night sky."

Elisa smiled at her mother, "Like a star in the night sky. He is always watching me."

Diane too smiled back, "That's my girl. Now let's go get your balloon."

"Ok." They continued to walk towards the balloon stand. After listening to what her mother said Elisa decided to get a star balloon. As she said before Elisa asked the man to make the balloon as big as possible. After the man blew up the balloon he gave it to Diane to hand it to Elisa.

"Here you go my little star."

"Oh thank you mom." Just as she was about to grab the balloon a man was walking by and bumped into Elisa causing her to miss the string. She watched as the balloon float away into the sky. A few tears began to fall down her cheek.

"Elisa became very upset when she lost the balloon. Though I told her that her father would always be around like a star in the sky deep down she really thought that with the balloon she would be able to fly and see her father again. Ever since she was little she'd always wanted to fly. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it was nearly impossible. So when she lost the balloon all I could do was comfort her."

"It's alright honey. Please calm down." Diane gently wiped the tears away from her cheek.

"I'm sorry mom. I didn't mean to get upset."

"Oh no sweetie you have nothing to be sorry about. I know how much you wanted that star balloon." Diane looked at her watch.

"Why don't I get you another one?"

"But mom you said I can only get one."

"Yes, I did say that but that's because I ran out of cash. So if we go to the bank now we can have just enough time to come back and get the balloon."

"Really?"

"Yes, now let's hurry."Diane and Elisa quickly ran to the nearest taxi cab and headed towards the bank. An hour later they reached the bank and headed back to the museum. It was dark by the time the finally reach the museum. They ran towards the area where the balloon stand was but by the time they got there it was too late. The event was over and everything was shutting down for the night. Elisa ran off trying to look for the balloon stand.

"Elisa, wait!" Diane quickly ran after her. Elisa ran and ran. She ran until she reached the back door entrance of the museum. As she got close to the back door Elisa senses something calling to her. She entered the museum. Diane spotted her entering the building and quickly followed. Both Elisa and Diane ran until they reach the Native American exhibit. Elisa slowed down as she reached the desk where a certain artifact was on display inside a box. Diane watched as Elisa opened the box and revealed a pendent from inside. Elisa touched the pendent and as she did the pendent change colors right in front of her. They looked at the pendent as a bright light glowed brightly around them.

"And then what happened?" Broadway asked.

"Well not much really. The security guard came and showed up. I apologized and put the pendent back and then we headed home."

Diane and Elisa took a short cut through the park to get home. As they walked home a firefly flew right in front of Elisa. She followed the firefly over a small bridge and saw many other fireflies dancing around a small river and grass.

"I guess we have to wait until we can see dad in the sky."

"The next morning Elisa started to act strangely. She was afraid of bright lights and started wandering around in a daze talking to herself, saying things that didn't make any sense to me at all." Goliath, Angela and Matt looked at each other when she said that part.

"One evening Elisa disappeared and I went looking for her. I franticly searched the entire city for her. I finally found her at the cemetery. She was kneeling in front of her father's grave. She was…holding a knife to her wrist. Thankfully I was able to stop her before she did it but it wasn't my little girl anymore. It was like someone else was in her and took over."

Everyone couldn't believe the story they just heard. They never thought in a million years this happened to their friend, their sister and to one their love. Elisa was so cheerful and happy all the time.

'Maybe it was her way of hiding her pain.' Goliath thought.

"Diane, do you think that Elisa developed multiple personality disorder." Matt said.

"What's that?" Brooklyn said.

"I read an article about multiple personality disorder." Lex said, "It's a rare disorder where two or more personalities with distinct memories and behavior patterns apparently exist in one individual."

"So basically the young lass has more than one personality inside her." Hudson said.

"It is possible but I'm not sure." Diane said.

"What did you do after you found Elisa at the cemetery?" Angela asked.

"I guided Elisa home. She was still in the daze but it looked like she snapped out of it as soon as we got home. Elisa became very tired so I took her to bed. I watched her the entire night, making sure she didn't leave. The next morning she became herself again. I asked her if she remember anything about the night before and she said no. I just watched her as she played with Derek and Beth. During her bath Elisa noticed the small on her foot. She was confused about how she got it so I told her that she was sleep walking and she cut herself while walking around. It was the only way of protecting her from the truth."

"Has Elisa ever tried to cut herself again?" Goliath asked though he was afraid what the answer might be.

Diane shook her head, "No it was the first and only time she'd ever tried it. I even took her to the doctor a few days later."

"And what did the doctor say?" Matt asked.

"He said that these episodes as he calls them were triggered from her father's death. It usually happens to a child after a loss of a loved one. He assured me that Elisa would grow out of it. But even with the doctors assurance I still feared that Elisa episodes will return. And they did. I tried everything I can to protect her from whatever it was that had a hold on Elisa."

As Goliath heard Diane the story and what Elisa went through afterwards something was still bothering him.

"Diane, what was the pendent that Elisa touched?"

"I'm not quite sure. The security guard told me that it was a new discovery. A professor told him that it belonged to the Hopi tribe. The professor was still researching the origin and the history behind it. He had never seen it before."

When Matt heard that he quickly took out a photo from his pocket, "Diane did the pendent look like this."

Diane took the picture from Matt and when she saw the picture her eyes grew, "This is it. This is the pendent that Elisa touched when she was little. But how did you…"

"It was the special assignment we had a few nights ago. We had to protect the pendent from jewel thieves."

"And it was around that time that Elisa started act strangely." Angela said.

"Do you think that there's a connection between Elisa and the pendent?" Hudson suggested.

"It is possible that in some way or another there is." Goliath said.

"Maybe the pendent is cursed." Broadway said.

"Do you think?" Lex asked. Everyone looked at each other not knowing what to think.

"Well…whatever the case is we have to protect Elisa at all cost. Until we solve this curse or whatever this is happening." Matt said, 'I'm not going to lose another sister. Whatever's happening to Elisa I will do everything in my power to stop it.

"Matt's right until this is solve we should keep an eye on Elisa." Brooklyn said.

"I agree, the clan and I will keep an eye on Elisa at night. Making sure she doesn't go anywhere alone. And if she begins to act strangely we will bring her straight home." Goliath said, 'I will do anything to protect my love.'

"I can keep an eye on her during the day. She won't leave my sight again." Matt said with determination. Goliath could see the determination in his eyes. He knew that Matt felt horrible about what happened tonight.

"Now then, the next thing we need to do is try to solve the mystery behind the pendent." Goliath said. Everyone began to figure out the pendent and the connection to Elisa as well as asked Diane any information she can give them that can help. As the discussed everything in the living room inside Elisa's bedroom Elisa stood at the door. She heard everything they were talked about. After she finished listening to their conversation Elisa slowly headed to her bed. As she lay in her bed she couldn't help but think about everything she heard tonight.

'Oh mom I had no idea how much you went through. How much I scared you? How much I'm scaring you now. You don't deserve this mom…none of you do, especially you Goliath. I would rather die than make any of them suffer.' Elisa buried her face in her pillow as tears fell down her cheeks. She hated herself for causing so much pain to her mother and her friends. She hated the fact that her own mother had lie to her in order to protect her from the truth.

'I know what I have to do in order to make this right. I know what needs to be done. I just hope that my mother would forgive me for everything I put her through.' She cried silently into her pillow until she finally went to sleep.
