IM BACK! I got my electronics taken away so I've been lying here wasting away with nothing to do. I never realized how much I was on fanfiction till I didn't have it anymore. Guess it's true when they say you don't know what you got till it's gone :P Anyways, here's the next chapter and by the second till last chapter I'm sure you guys will hate me.


Alex's POV
"Mitchie!" I screamed jumping in front of her. I felt a searing unbearable pain in my lower back. I fell to the ground hard screaming in pain. I couldn't feel my legs, only the vast amount of pain shooting throughout my whole body. Tears cascaded down my face and I didn't dare move in fear of making it worse.
Suddenly, the pain was gone and I found myself back where I had been before. I had never felt so happy to be back in the mezzo. I turned to the younger version of me standing there watching me in silence.
"What the hell was that!?" I demanded.
"Your future" she said simply. My future!? I'm going to go through that for real? She nodded.
"If you choose it to be."
"Wait, you can read my mind!?"
"I am you. I know your thoughts your feelings, your greatest desires."
"I thought you were my magic..." I said feeling very confused.
"Your magic is a part of you. It's who you are." I decided to try and not think about that.
"Why would you show me that?" I was reffering to the pain filled vision.
"So that when the time comes,you'll know what to do."
The Mezzo disappeared and I could feel someone shaking me.
"Alex, wake up" Mitchi's voice said. My eyes snapped open and I sat up straight fast.
"It's okay it was only a dream." She told me seeing my panicked expression. She wrapped her arms around my waist, pulling me in closer to her.
The campfire had gone out long ago and the only light was the moon shining down through the trees. Mitchie and I had built a makeshift bed using the spare sleeping bags and were snuggled into one another. Now we were both sitting up and Mitch had her arms around me resting her head on my shoulder.
"No. No it wasn't. I went to the mezzo." i told her and her eyes widened.
"What happened?" She asked worriedly. I was wondering how I got to the Mezzo in the first place. You only went there if you were on the verge of death. Was I dying? No, I think I would know if I were... I looked to Mitchie and saw fear, worry, and concern in her light chocolate brown eyes. That's when I realized I was scaring her. Maybe I shouldn't tell her, she's got enough on her mind.
Yesterday she had seen her brothers again for the first time in years. She had come out to them by kissing me and they didn't take it so well. They said they needed some time to think things through, then left without another word. Not even a goodbye. Those bastards hurt her. I hoped they stayed lost in this forest and a bear eats them. How could they not see she was still the same girl they knew to be thir baby sister?
Brian had been a lot better about it.
"So I might not be able to intimidate any boys now, but the offer still stands" He had told me. That was a nice thought. Being able to live with my real father. A man who won't hit me. Someone who'll look after me and actually cares for me other than Mitchie.
I had told him that after this whole mess was over and assuming the we lived through it, I would live with him, IF he moved to New York so I could still be with Mitchie. He had chuckled and agreed.
"Erm" I said to Mitchie now. "Sorry, you're right. It was only a dream" I told her lying back down. She said down beside me, cuddling into my side like before.
"Alex, you know you can tell me anything." She said softly. Oh great, now I've hurt her. I sighed knowing there was no way out of this. So I told her my dream, leaving out the part where I had called out her name and jumped in front of her. I didn't want her to think it was going to be her fault.
"When the time comes you'll know what to do!? What the hell!?" She exclaimed angrily.
"Mitch, calm down" I told her.
"So she basically told you your going to go through a lot of pain, but that's okay cause you'll know what to do!" She wasn't just mad, she was furious.
"So we go through all this loss and magic crap just so-" I cut her off with a kiss. I felt her relax and sigh into the kiss. We pulled away and looked into each other's eyes.
"Sorry, I got carried away" she said blushing. "It's just that...why is all this happening to us? What did we do to deserve this?"
"You didn't do anything. It was me. It's because Selena and I were born that Carter lost her mom and went all psycho. It's because of how powerful we are that a bunch of whackos are after us. It's because I cast that stupid spell that got you involved in all this, not only hurting you, but slowly killing you as well. It was because I wasn't careful enough that Selena died." I felt tears forming in my eyes."
"Alex, I told you; You didn't even know you cast that spell, it wasn't your fault. Carter is insane, like there's something seriously wrong with that women. Jerry was stupid. Carter's the one that killed Max, Carter killed Justin and Carter killed Selena. If anything, all this is Carter's fault. You shouldn't be beating yoursel up over us." She wiped away the few tears that had escaped and were trickling down my face.
"you were the one who got us away from carter every time she got closer, you're the one who got us out of that strange place. You gave up your childhood for me, literally!" I looked at her confused, wondering how she found out about that. I never told her exactly what the spell did.
"Little Alex told me when she came back" She told me as if reading my thoughts.
"You're amazing in so many ways you don't even know" She told me and gave me a peck on the lips causing me to smile.
"Maybe your right" I told her smirking mischeviously. I straddled her and leaned in close to her ear.
"But I ain't got nothing on you." I whispered seductively.
I looked back into her eyes which had darkened considerably. She crashed her lips onto mine. I hadn't been expecting it, but I responded immediately. I lightly ran my tongue over her bottom lip asking for permission to which she immediately granted and soon it was a battle between our tongues.
"Agh! Seriously girls?" Brian said sleepily and annoyed. We broke apart and Mitchie ducked her head into my neck, hiding in embarassment.
"Sorry Dad" I said and he chuckled. I could tell he liked me calling him that.
"Just keep your harmones in check" He told us before rolling over and going back to sleep. I kissed Mitchie on the cheek.
"Come on Sweets, let's get some rest" I told her and she nodded. I layed back down and opened my arms for her to snuggle into my side.
"Sweet dreams beautiful" I told her before drifting to sleep.


Mitchie's POV
I woke up feeling horrible again, but I didn't want to say anything because I knew Alex was blaming herself. I opened my eyes sad to find that Alex wasn't next to me, but then I realized the car was gone and so were Alex and her father.
I sat up feeling myself start to panic. Where'd they go? Just as I thought that the car magically appeared a few feet away driving toward us. It stopped suddenly and parked where it was supposed to.
I was surprised when I saw Alex in the driver's seat and a pale Brian looking terrified in the passengers seat.
I giggled at his expression and got up and went over to greet my girlfriend.
"Morning babe" She said kissing me hello.
"Morning" I responded. "Where'd you two go?"
She held up a bag with the famous golden arhces printed on it.
"Just getting lunch" She smiled.
"Lunch? I thought it was breakfast time" I said confused.
"Not in Washington" she said. I felt my eyes widen.
"You went all the way to Washington!?"
"Well we really couldn't risk Carter finding us just for some fast food" She reasoned.
"But we can risk our lives doing so?" Brian asked just now releasing his grip from the seat and climbing out.
"Aw C'mon Pops It wasn't that bad of driving."
"I thought we were going to die! You really need to work on your speed."
"I guess." She sighed.
We ate our lunch then started packing up camp. Brian says we're supposed to keep moving so that it makes it harder to be tracked.
When I first woke up I had a small headache that was a dull throb, but it's gotten worse since then.
I was picking up my sleeping bag when suddenly I wasn't there. I dropped the sleeping bag in confusion and took in my surroundings.
I was in what looked to be an attic, but it had 12 beds in rows of six ligned up against two walls facing each other. Something was off, and not just my location. Something felt odd. I looked down to see I was in a ratty old night gown, but that wasn't it. Then I noticed the ground seemed closer than usual. I must be imagining things.
A door at the other end of the room opened and Alex walked in. She was twice my height.
"Alex? What's going on?" I asked her noticing my voice was a bit funny.
"Alex? I think you have me confused with someone else sweetie" She told me with a friendly smile. Sweetie?
"Selena?" I questioned.
"No my name's Carter. Carter Mason." She said with a friendly smile.


Carter's POV
"No! You moron! You got the wrong one!" I yelled slapping the wizard across the back of his head. "You were supposed to trap Alex! Not that worthless mortal!" man, good help is hard to find these days.
"I-Im sorry M'am" He stammered. I was about to go off on him when I got an idea.
"Nevermind, this will do." I said a plan forming. Alex will go crazy looking for her, she'll do anything for Mitchie, maybe even die. I don't have to worry about her getting to her precious girlfriend because they watch the little kids like a hawk.
"Now, to end this once and for all" I said. Waving my wand and disappearing.


So what'd ya think? Final battle starts Next chapter. Review?
