I knew the spell that I needed to say. It came from my heart, and I knew somehow it would work. I didn't know when I would go, or what I would do to save her, but I knew that It would. I took the chalk I kept in my pocket and drew a triquetra on the wall. It was the symbol of my family's power and it would act as the portal for my spell. Lucky for me I always got A s in Spells class and I was unusually good at making up spells on the spot.

I chanted the spell I had made up just then.

"Goddess hear you daughter's plea,

To bring my mother back to me,

And to restore the power of three,

Bring me to when I want to be!"

A portal of swirling silver energies opened on the wall and I stepped in without a minutes hesitation. I was immediately hurtled into the past...

For some reason, when I stepped out of the portal, I was in the attic. It was a much different attic then the one I remembered. Gone were the boxes labelled Mel's baby clothes or Penny's old toys. I was in the past. The question was...when? I needed to find a newspaper or something to find out the date and figure out what I'm supposed to do.

I heard footsteps. I froze, wishing now more than ever that I had Penny's power of invisibility. Mom burst in the door, looking much younger, and shocked by the sight of me. I don't think I'm born yet I thought judging by mom's reaction. I suppressed the urge to run up to her and hug her. If I wasn't careful I could ruin everything.

"If you're a demon come back later, I'm busy", said mom in an exasperated sort of voice.

"I'm not a demon", I said quickly. "I'm from the future. My name is Mel...anie...Melanie!" Phew! Quick save. I'm almost as bad at lying as my mother. At least she couldn't yet read me like a book.

"Is Wyatt still evil?!" mom asked a glimmer of worry flashed in her warm brown eyes. I just now noticed how very much I looked like my mother. I hope she doesn't notice. After a minute of deciding on my story, I decided on the truth, the partial truth, and nothing but mostly the truth.

"Wyatt's good", I said quickly, remembering Chris' memories. I hoped I could allay that worry. "I came to the past to save the power of three", I hesitated for a moment before adding, "to save you."

"I see", said mom slowly, "how do you suggest we do that?"

I thought for a moment. Then it came to me. "We need to kill the avatars", I said.

Mom was stunned. You didn't need to be an empath to know that. "What about the perfect world I saw. The one with no demons. With my daughter."

I stiffened slightly at the mention of her daughter, but I retained my composure. "What vision", I asked quietly.

"I'll show you", my mother said. It was odd how quickly my mother trusted me. Had she sensed something she chose not to mention? I took her hands and saw the vision she had seen just yesterday. When I came out of the vision I had tears in my eyes. I remembered that moment, I remembered saying those words. That was the world of my childhood. But that world was gone now, replaced by darkness.

"Was my vision real?" my mother asked. "Was the world ever like that?"

I chose my words carefully. I couldn't risk destroying the future. "The world was like that", I said, "for a while. What the avatars are offering is true, but they're not telling you everything. At first the world was perfect, the gradually demons started coming back, then all hell broke loose."

She was starting to believe me. "What do you need me to do?", mom asked.

"Take me to Kyle Brody" , I said already formulating a plan.

Someone chose that moment to orb in...
