Tori was cornered. There was nowhere else to go. A tear rolled down her scratched face. "Please, don't do this. You're my friend, since we were kids. Don't do this, I can't leave yet," Tori pleaded to the man in the black cloat. He was hooded and his wand was out on her. "I-I'm sorry Tori. I h-have to," a voice whimpered under the hood.

The man in the cloak began to pull off his hood, she'd see his face, then she'd know who! But her body was screaming at her to run. Not under her control, she hurled herself at the man, knocking him over. She ran past him, praying that she could run far enough away from him…

Tori gasped and shot upward. The room wasn't her's! Where was she? She scrambled up searching around frantically. Three other bodies lay next to her, who were they? She was starting to freak out before she remembered last night. Jimena, Lindsey, and Crystal. She'd went to their house, stayed the night. And that dream! Why was she having these dreams? What was happening in them? In every one of her dreams a man had been chasing her, and she knew who that man was. But every time she'd start to realize who it was she'd awake. Just like her last dreams her memory of the terrible nightmare was slipping away and every time she tried to grasp it and remember it would shove away from her.

Everything from last night and the dream was clashing all into her head at the same time. She remembered the girls kindness and where she was and what she was doing last night. She laid back down, tired from her frantic start, maybe these dreams were warnings? Maybe they were premonitions? Could she be seeing the future? And if so was she witnessing one of her friends betray her? In the middle of her thoughts a tapping came from Jimena's window.

She looked up and her jaw dropped. Four owls stood outside the window, all hooting to be let in. Tori tiptoed to the window and opened it trying not to wake he girls. She opened the window and the owls fluttered in and landed on Jimena's bed. Tori groaned and glanced at the girls checking to see if the woke up, but they still were fast asleep except for Lindsey rolling over in her sleep. An owl approached her and stuck out it's leg for her. She carefully undid the letter and ripped open the envelope. It was Tori's school list. She had two new books to collect and new potion supply. That wasn't so bad. She was about to take the envelope from the other owl but it refused to give it to her. She sighed, she'd deal with the others then with that one. She went to the other owl but it refused to give the letter to her too as did the other. This baffled Tori, an owl had never refused to give a letter to it's owner.

Tori glanced down at the envelope that one of the owls were protecting. On the envelope read: Crystal Hemma. Tori gasped but clamped her hand over her mouth. Why would an owl deliver mail to a muggle? There was only one explanation, Crystal was a witch. Tori looked at the others quickly before the owls would pull away, they read: Jimena Fuentes and Lindsey Broacher. Tori leaned against the wall and thought for a long time.

After about twenty minutes of thinking Crystal woke up, she stretched and yawned before she got up and walked towards Tori, her eyes apparently too tired to see clearly. "Ahhh…g-good m-m-morning, sleep g-good?" Crystal yawned.

"Not so good, plus I got woken up by these," Tori said. Crystal rubbed her eyes and squinted at the owls, it took a few moments before Crystal's eyes turned huge and she scurried to the owls trying to shoe them away.

"It's ok Crystal I know who you are?" Tori yelled over the screeching owls. Jimena and Lindsey woke up and were staring at the scene with horror. Tori guessed that they thought she was a muggle and had seen too much.

"You…you do?" Crystal asked even more horrified. "Yeh, I do-I'm one." Tori held up her letter showing them her name on the envelope. "Ninguna manera," Jimena gasped from behind Crystal, her mouth slightly open.

"Dieu nous aident." Lindsey's eyes were the size of moons. Her hair was sticking up in every direction.

"I go to Hogwarts! I'm gunna go into my fourth year!" By the way they still were looking at her they apparently still thought she was a muggle. "Look!" She ripped open the letter and read. "Dear Tori Gonzales! See? My name's even on it!" She showed them the letter.

"So you're a bruja too?" Jimena whispered still shaken up. She pushed back her curly black hair and grabbed her letter off the bed.

"Then how come we've never seen you around? We didn't even recognize you," Crystal said. She blushed embarrassed at her words, Tori guessed that there group was popular.

"Hmm…Fourth year eh? We're goin' into our fifth this year," Lindsey said. She also grabbed her envelope.

"You never heard of the El Thres?" Jimena asked. All three of the girls stared at her, eyebrows raised.

"Well it sounds familiar. But I don't really pay attention to that kind of stuff. I just hang around," Tori said flushing.

"Hey I remember you! You hang around with those individuos blancos and that resistente gabacho," Jimena said laughing slightly. "Oh yeh! You changed our look didn't you? You used to look all par assez," Lindsey said while turning pale at her words. Tori guessed it wasn't good whatever Lindsey called her.

"But not anymore!" Crystal butted in. "You look a lot better. You look really caldo now." This didn't make Tori feel any better but at least she was some what noticed.

"Well I guess we'll have to call ourselves El Cuatro now," Jimena laughed. Lindsey and Crystal laughed along to and after a moment of thinking so did Tori. Tori couldn't really imagine being in ANOTHER group. First she'd been with the guys. then she went with Lily and her friends, then with Valon, now with these girls? Was she ever going to stick?

"Let's go! Now that things are mas recto now, let's get some fresh air," Jimena said getting up and stretching.

"yeh let's get outta here, I've had to much excitement for just a morning!" Lindsey said yawning.

The girls got up and got dressed. Tori didn't have anything to wear except for her clothes from last night. Jimena gave her a black strapless top and a mini skirt to wear. Tori didn't feel comfortable with these clothes but Jimena recommended them and also gave her black high-heel sandals. Tori had refused but Jimena had threatened to let her walk around barefoot if she didn't wear them. Lindsey had offered to do her make up but Tori really didn't want a punked out look.

"Ah don't worry! I don't usually wear makeup like last night. Crystal does though," Lindsey snickered as she applied dark red lipstick. Crystal looked up from her mirror and glared at Lindsey. Lindsey was right, Crystal was putting on the same makeup as she had worn yesterday!

"Come here, let me do you," Jimena said waving for her to come over. "Why do you wanna do me so bad?" "Cus I just love corrupting a Buena muchacha," Jimena laughed.

It took the girls an hour to do themselves and took Tori even longer. Jimena had applied red-hot lipstick to Tori lips and red eye shadow on the top and bottom of her lids. Jimena had also wanted to perm Tori's hair but Crystal had complained that it would take way to long. So Jimena just curled her hair with a small iron. When Jimena had finally let Tori look at herself. She gasped.

Her looks were amazing, her mini skirt made her look a little bit (in her opinion) like a slut, but what dazzled her was her face. Her face had never looked so beautiful. When she had first seen Jimena she'd thought she was a goddess and could go with the look, but that wasn't true. She couldn't wait to show herself of and to see the look on the guys' and Valon's faces! Most of her only wanted to look like this for today, she could get some spark out of this look, but she wouldn't stay like this.

"Well? What do you think of my obra maestra?" Jimena laughed. Tori laughed faintly, still staring at her reflection. She tore her eyes away from the mirror and walked out with the rest of the girls.

2 Days Later

Tori had had a good day and a bad day while she had been with the girls. The first had been a good day. She had gotten guy's attention but she hadn't been really interested. She went dancing with the girls and even had a glass of Firewhiskey that Lindsey had stolen from Hogsmeade. The Firewhiskey had really knocked her over and almost the whole night she was up barfing.

The next day had been terrible. Tori had had to deal with a hang over while the other girls laughed and while they had been walking down the streets Tori had run into her dad and Becky. Tori's dad and hollered and Becky had screamed about how worried they had been and what she thought she was doing. Jimena had tried to step in but was screamed at by Becky. Tori had almost been dragged away by her dad before she had tugged away and the four of them ran for it.

After her run-in she had decided to call it quits. She would never win back her dad from Becky's clutches and she would never be loved the same again. She would always be cast aside with Becky by his side smirking. She went back to her house while they were at work and collected everything she had. She had cried during the whole event. When she had had to pack away the pictures Tori had almost considered staying. When she was packed she left a long note expressing her feelings and her pains and how she couldn't stay.

Night Before Hogwarts

Tori had adjusted to staying at Jimena's and trying to understand Carmen. Tori now had a good Spanish tongue-not perfect but good. She had changed the look Jimena had given her but she still looked dazzling.

Tori lay with Jimena, the two looking over what they had bought at Diagon Alley. Jimena was twirling her black hair with her finger while Tori read her new Transfiguration book.

"Esto es estupido!" "Stupid McGonagall! You know how much detention I have this year? She just sent me the letter! Esa ballena de la perra!" Jimena cursed. "She has no idea why I had to steal some of her stash! I needed it to pass!"

Tori looked up from her book and laughed. "Well maybe if you would've been quieter you wouldn't have been caught!" Tori laughed.

"We're not all as brave as you Audaz," Jimena sneered back.

Tori frowned.

"Will you stop calling me that? I didn't do anything except be a coward," she said scowling. She really didn't want to talk about the subject.

"Well you weren't a coward for walking out chica, you did the right thing. Your dad doesn't deserve you," Jimena said nudging her comfortingly. Tori sighed, her deepest wish was for her father to have never met Becky and to still be with her living mother. But that was far away from a slight chance and Tori had given up and her wish had become a fantasy.

There was a time I was happy in my life.

There was I time I believed I'd live forever.

There was a time when I prayed to Jesus Christ.

There was a time I had a mother it was nice.

"I just wish things would be the way they had used to be. I know my mum would never have let my dad be this way. Becky has just…changed him…" Tori whispered. Tori thought of the times with her father and mother. The times they had laughed with her, the times when she was told she was loved.

Oh mother why aren't you here with me?

After the things that you have seen.

I'm trying hard to dry my tears.

Yes father you know

I'm not so free.

"I'm sorry. I sometimes wish I could remember my mom. The closest thing I have of her is her pictures," Jimena said shrugging. Tori wasn't quite listening to her, she was still focusing on her long lost memories.

I've got to give it up

Find someone that loves me

I've got to let it go

Find someone that I can care for.

"…I sometimes think I should just find a lover, ya know? Then I could be happy," Jimena continued. Tori snapped out of her thoughts. "Wha-? Oh yeh, that's what we all need," she said.

"Ya know? That's gunna be my goal! I'm gunna get me a fine vato!" Jimena squealed. Tori grinned. "Yeh…yeh that is a good idea. That's gunna be my goal too," Tori said, grinning mischievously…
