*** PLEASE Read and Review!  I've only had a few people read this, and I don't know if I'm doing a good job or not, so PLEASE review this if you read it! ***

~ Now, for a few responses to those kind enough to review for me.  First off, the post is dedicated to Mrs.SpookyScully, my first reviewer.  For the answer to your question, I think the episode was either triangle, or the one where the guy was trying to make the movie of the X-Files.

jd burns -  Originally I'd intended to make the witches Alien abductees, but it just didn't work out in the plot.  So, the 'sacred scars of the ordeals' are ordeals that these witches had to go through to be initiated.  The fic doesn't really go into that, which is why I'm explaining it now.

That's all for now!~

Mulder woke up to sterile white, bright blazing lights and one very concerned redhead.

"Hi! It's good to see that you are finally awake!"

"How long have I been out?" asked Mulder, wincing as he tried to sit up."

"Easy there. You have second-degree burns to your chest, an almost broken back, and a concussion, not to mention a pulled face muscle. Three days."

"Three??? Wow. Where am I, cuz I know this ain't Texarkla." he winced as he slipped into the accent he was now used to. 'Have to work on that.' He thought to himself.

Scully raised an eyebrow, but other than that said nothing about the twang. "We brought you to Allen, Texas to get you stabilized, then moved you to Dallas. They had better facilities to care for you here."

"Dallas! This brings back some unpleasant memories."

"So, what happened?" asked Scully, changing the subject quickly.

"Your guess is as good as mine."

"Actually, it's better. The camera recorded everything that happened. Mulder, we are dealing with real witches here!!!"

"Whoa, slow down there Scully. There is no such thing as magic. The laws of physics cannot simply be changed at the will of a being with the control of some force or spell.  It's just not possible."

"How can you say that Mulder, after what you saw?"

"I'll admit what I saw was, is hard to explain, but there has to be a more logical explanation than magic."

"Fine, we'll just agree to disagree. Now, can you explain something to me?" Mulder shrugged and winced. "Oh, yeah. You broke your collar bone too. What were they talking about, the sacred scars of their ordeals?"

"Oh, just some triangle shaped scars behind their ears."

Scully looked at Mulder incredulously. "Have you lost your mind?!?! Just some triangle shaped scars? As in the type alien abductees have? We've got to get back there now. I'm on B4."

Scully took off at a sprint, leaving Mulder looking rather confused.

Mulder calmly walked to floor B4. He saw Scully leaning against a brand new red convertible viper. Mulder let out a low whistle.

"You like her?" asked Scully with a note of pride. "I'm thinking about naming her "Betty"(heh I'm watching that episode now).

"Yeah. Where'd you get her? I'd like to know who err... what you have to do to get the Bureau to provide that."

"She's compliments of my second job."

"Oooooh. So, what happened to the big rush to get out of here?"

"I remembered that the girls escaped after they threw you through the door."

"What????"

"The sheriff ran in to check on you and they weren't there."

"Well, I guess there's nothing left to do but go back to Washington.
Can I drive?"

"Sure, if you can drive one handed."

Mulder frowned. "Well, at least I can enjoy the ride."
