Story note: The following fic is an AU based loosely on time travel. Please don't worry, this is not a character death- it will all work out.

A/N: There are so many people who have helped out with this story! Firstly, I would like to thank my best friend Tracey for dreaming such an interesting story. Your dreams are always inspiration for new fic ideas! A big thanks goes out to Ashura who is my beta this time around. A hug goes to Ambientflames for teaching me all about my minor grammar tendencies. A wave goes out to Unspoken who is always there for me. And one HUGE shout out goes to my "Nocence" gals- don't worry Nocence is coming.

Prologue

"She's gone and its too much to take, I try to move on but everyone knows now that I'm a fake.

Hidden secrets and lies consume my heart as my tears roll down and I tear apart. Falling, crashing and never looking back. I now know what I must do and the wrong must be attacked.

Time is my enemy that which I must fight. I must go back and finally make all the wrongs into the right."

Grissom fought the tears which filled up in his eyes as he refused to say good bye. How dare she not tell him until it was too late. Maybe if he had known he could have made her happy before all was lost. Grissom knew what he had to do, to some it may seem selfish but to him it was necessary. After all, he would do anything to bring her back even if it meant changing the world for better or for worse.
