I DO NOT OWN REIGN.

Rockford, Illinois. The Next Day.

The next morning, everyone got up and got ready for the over 2 hour drive to Chicago, Illinois. Francis and Mary, along with their friends, made their way down into Northern Illinois. They eventually had to stop at a gas station in the city of Rockford to fill up. While Nathan filled up the tank, Shawn went inside to use the bathroom and made a small purchase to be polite.

"Yo dudes, check it out!" Shawn exclaimed as he held up what he had bought.

"Dude, why did you buy a laser pointer key chain?" Chris asked as Shawn displayed it proudly.

"You never know when a good laser could come in handy." He argued.

"It's your money." Nathan said with a smirk.

"I think it looks very nice." Mary said, trying to back Shawn up.

"Ha, the Queen says it's cool, so you two can suck it!" Shawn said with glee.


Chicago, Illinois. Later that day.

After another stop for lunch at a burger joint, which the royals found that they enjoyed, the group finally made it to the windy city of Chicago. "So where is her place anyway?" Chris inquired as he drove.

"It's a few streets down." Nathan said as they kept driving until they reached a unimpressive looking one story house.

"You sure this is it?" Shawn asked nervously.

"This is the address she gave me, OK?" He snapped as he went up to the door and took a deep breath before knocking on it. A couple moments later, a pale skinned girl who looked like your stereotypical emo girl answered the door.

"Nathan?" She asked curiously.

"Hello Snow." He groaned as he took in the sight of his ex girlfriend.

"What are you doing here?" She asked in disbelief. "The last time I saw you, you told me to go to Hell."

"Look, if there was anywhere else I could go, I would...but we need your help." He said as Snow looked at his companions.

"Still running around with the gang huh?" the emo snapped. "I'm not hiding you from the cops, so forget it." She was about to slam the door in their face, but Nathan got their first.

"We don't need you to hide us." He insisted. "We just need to ask you some questions and we'll be on our way."

"About what?"

"About...pagan rituals." This definitely caught Snow by surprise.

"Pagan rituals!" She exclaimed with a laugh. "You said that it was a load of horseshit."

"Are you gonna help us or not?" Nathan griped.

"Fine, come in." Snow said as the group entered her home. It was completely decorated like it was Halloween.

"Oh my..." Francis said in shock.

"Who are these two?" She asked as she laid eyes on the European royalty.

"This is Mary, Queen of Scots and her husband: King Francis II of France." Chris introduces.

"Seriously, who are they?" She asked nonchalantly.

"He is serious Snow." Nathan agreed as the boys sat her down and told her everything. By the time they finished, the goth girl was dumbfounded.

"So you see, we figured that since it was a Pagan spell thrust brought them here, maybe...a Pagan spell can get them back." Nathan explained as Snow stood up and began to pace.

"OK, let's just say for a second that I believe you." She said nervously. "Do you really think that it would work?"

"It's the only option that we have." Chris insisted. "Do you know if there is any such spell or ritual that could do it?" Snow thought for a moment and then opened a door in her writing desk and pull out a piece of paper.

"A friend of mine was always complaining that he's been born in the wrong time period." She explained. "He asked me to use magic to make him time travel. I found something online and I was going to give it to him, but he disappeared." She handed it to Nathan and he took it with gratitude.

"Thank you Snow, this means so much." He said as Snow gave him a sad smile.

"You shouldn't be thanking me Nathan." She said sadly.

"Why not?" He asked as a group of Latin Kings burst out of several closets and doors.

"Hola gringos!" One of the Kings exclaimed as they all drew out their pistols.

"They showed up a half hour before you did." Snow said as she started to cry. "They threatened my family if I didn't tell them what I knew. I didn't actually think you would show up here!"

"Fuck..." Shawn whispered as they were utterly surrounded.
