This is nearly done, only maybe two chapters left.

Walking from the vortex meant my present self-merged with me, we existed together but I knew this timeline. But what was here on this day years in the past that must be fixed, my room was nice and neat, and pain washed over me, I had nothing here no Warren, and now a flat belly. But to save everyone we cared for it had to be done, I would have my son in no way would I accept never having Maddox.

I gazed at my reflection but did not see what her Momma saw. She did not see what her friends saw. Instead of beautiful, I saw plain, but still, that damn scar Kai gave me. How was that still there, I was what fourteen now by the date. My eyes would roam critically from one feature to another and catalog it in my brain. Now I dress while I thought, why would my power drop me years in the past, I needed to be two or more years in the future. It was summer break so a tank top and jeans with a flannel and some Vans are on, I just glanced at the skateboard this was my thing in this time.

Bouncing before my mother saw me, my hair was a mess as I whipped around the corner on my board nearly knocking down Jackie, my heart thumped and in my head vowed I would return him to Aria at the right time. "Hey Bex, heading to grab you Vic and Mage are at Dutch it just opened. Vic will order you something, no worries as sugar-free as possible," he was smiling but I have seen him smile in such a grand way in the 1400s. Something has to play out, but something here was wrong and my power and the timeline say it must be fixed.

Laughing, "Boss, let's go. But can't hang long have to go," it was wanting to see BiBi, now in my heart, I knew she would remember. I knew Bandit and Mage started dating around this time, an odd thing since we were younger. I missed this skateboarding and just laughing with them, but hell I missed driving my baby. After another hour, I ordered my normal which Vic wrote down since he was leaving for his dad's house for the weekend.

It wasn't until my board turned onto Hammer did my heart rate hit high levels, I could see the house from here it was all I could see but not all I could hear. Kai was standing next to Lucie, she was crying, and he was bellowing something and the closer I got the more I could hear, I remember her like this we had a class together. I beamed, "Hey Lucie," my board in hand she looked confused but wanted away from the beast, but things had to play out it hit me, he lived until we first time traveled.

She smiled, "Bexley," her voice was wobbly from crying as I gave Kai my best smile, it was flirty, and he returned it without hesitation. "Had a question about the project can you spare me a few moments?" asking and knowing we had no project, but she was smart and turned to Kai.

"We can talk later, come on in Bexley," I before walking into her house turned back and gave him a wink, in my head, it was like I am going to bath in your blood wink but he saw it as she is mine already.

The moment we entered her Aunts house we stared at the other, I just cut to it. "Don't be stupid, he is going to murder you,'

She looked tired, "I know how dangerous Kai is, I hate him. I am going to leave town for a little only my cousin knows where and my plane leaves exceedingly early in the morning. Watch your back Bexley, he already has his eyes on you,"

I turned back right before I left, "Good, as long as his eyes are on me he will never see his death coming," her face changed she saw something but I turned back, "I also know you like Nikki, you two so cute," winking before she walked me out, but there was Warren his hair shorter and not as muscle packed, but still very. I noted he still had the fractured timeline look, darker hair, and eyes, Kai was still his fam. I just turned back to Lucie, "See you tomorrow," it made Kai and Warren turn to face us girls, I saw softness come to both as I just booked it across the street feeling his eyes on me but when I turned I locked eyes with Lucie. She just stared at me with such curiosity and for now, I need Kai to focus on me, she died tonight from what I remember.

The blue door opened and a so tiny BiBi was standing next to her mother, dragging a backpack. "Hey hummingbird," her face lit up as her mother let out a very musical laugh. "Come in Bexley," and I did leaving the ones behind me to deal for now. Her house was the same, so tranquil as I just sit on the floor. "I knew you come,"

"Of course, just had to deal with a few things. Has this actually fixed everything?"

Aurora was sipping tea, "Finally yes, but only as long as Nikki and Lucie live, they're ones who also bring change to our Justice system. Warren he will have an extremely hard choice to make, but only those two must make it. I am still going to pass regardless; no choice and I walk forward to it. But as BiBi and I see it, you will get to grow until seventeen years before you must take her," I just looked into her eyes and take nothing for granted, this was so hard.

"Is there nothing that I could do to fix this, I want Hummingbird but want her to have you as well," both looked to the other, there was something but both didn't want to say it. The doorbell rings again. It is tinny and grating. It demands that Aurora leaves and answers it, a female laughing is heard, and one I knew like my own. "Shit, it is my mother," trying to hide but her voice came over the room.

"Bexi, I figured you were setting the courthouse on fire," such a sarcastic woman, I retorted. "Around five, I was just about to leave," but her face turned cold seeing mine when I tried to escape.

Behind her were Aurora and Willow, "Explain now,"

I had nothing but like the angel she was Aurora came to my aid, "Snow and Willow please sit, I will only tell them. The rest this time must remind unaware so the timeline can stay right," I watched her "speak" to them. Her hand glowed an eerie baby blue as they closed their eyes. I mutter, "Great they get to know but not Mage or Vic," but Hummingbird held a note out to me along with pulling out pictures.

"Shit, Hummingbird. Come on," she just curled in my lap, she was small for her age, but she was just small. Together we looked at pictures, she stole albums and stored them away. I just held the letter, when a vision cut in at my moment of weakness.

Lucie dead, she still died, this time not at the park but the woods my eyes fluttered as I see Kai and her alone in the woods. Her voice is scared but she wasn't giving up. "I called Warren, kill me, he will still kill you," than I was pulled back and it was BiBi who was smiling at me. "It changed, but now you can fix it,"

I just groaned, "Once I save Lucie my powers will kick in and take me to Nikki," she gave me a yes. So, she died tonight, which left me all day to cause problems. I turned seeing the adults looking at me, "Hey," I quipped making my mother shake her head at me.

I just stood when they saw the albums and advanced on them like rabid animals, "I'm sorry, baby," mother just touched the photo of Warren and me, both so fucking happy my belly was round with his hand on it, the day we had our appointment.

His mother looked ready to burst into flames, "My son should know,"

I cut in, "It will fuck the timeline up, Willow. Look, I want him to know, but right now he can't until the time is right. He and I are destined to be, in time and fire we were bonded and now I have to fix things before even worse things happened," I gave her a look, she knew he went to prison.

I turned to Aurora, "Have BiBi keep these safe, it is all I have left of that time. Also, if I can save you, I plan on it, in time I will figure it out,"

I had to figure out where the fucking woods are, so when I took my board I wasn't shocked to see Warren leaning against his door with Lucie, Kai vanished as was what I wanted. Warren by his emotions and face was suspicious seeing me talking to his cousin and now his mother was behind me. But when his eyes lock with mine, I feel the rumbling emotion of love there our kind fall in love deeply only once like it was in our distorted chemical make-up. "Come on, I will drop you," mother chimed in as I turned to her. "Can I drive?" she just shrugged. "Sure, I mean you time travel," she was right as she tossed me the keys and I felt Warren worry.

But when I drove off, he was more worried about how I drove.

I just followed her, she got a call and bolted from the house and I tailed her.

Stepping into the forest robbed you of one sense and heightened the others. It was disorientating to be almost blinded but given the ears of a wolf. Even the soft susurration of the branches felt heavy in the ears. The sense of smell was sensitized, the loam in the earth and the decomposing leaves made the atmosphere close and thick. The blackness nurtured a sense of claustrophobia inside you even though the woodland stretched unbroken for miles. The narrow path, which was made uneven by the knotted roots that crossed it, branched at intervals. There was no map to follow, but even if there was the perpetual dark would prevent you from using it.

I just follow her emotions now, under my feet I can feel five people, only one is Lucie. I thanked Bandit in my head, his power was particularly useful, so I crept around the dark trees. I could see Lucie trying to stand up to them, Kai was facing my direction but the shadows covered me, I saw a few other guys with him, all in his crew when I had to move to see what I was up against. "Look, I don't care if you left me because, to me, you're nothing. You know I am after Danvers, her father promised her to me, he gave me the curse to place on her. But see you know too much to live, and I know the first person you will rat me out to your beloved cousin," Kia had a way of talking it was deep and wise but so cold and filled with hate.

She laughed, "I would, he loves her too. But Bexley will see through you and the façade you present to the world, see the slime you are. Kill me, I have already called Warren and as we sit here and talk, he is coming to try and save me. So kill me, because he will be your death," she was brave so fucking brave, I watched as Kai was ready to kill her along with these bastards. She would be found torn to slices, her family would never be the same, when I see her, I see Bexi.

I can't be seen, so I move, choose where you stand carefully, she couldn't die. Kai lashed out but his first strike slammed into a large tree that sprouted from the ground surrounding her, she gasped. I moved, "Someone is here, find them," hide and seek was not my game, as I slammed my fist into the face of Siggy before tossing him back to Kai. I move and seek to take each villain out and tossing them back, he knew it wasn't Warren.

"Show yourself," he called out but that wouldn't be wise, I chuckled. "How about no, Kai. Come find me," trying to change my voice and it worked, I was sounding like a mix of Layla and Jennifer during a girl session. I let the flames dance in my hand as Lucie stumbled back, before Kai could reach her bright blue flame surrounded her, protecting her. Giggling, "Nope not Peace here to save the day, Kai. Leave because death is coming. This girl is not the one," I was coming from behind, Vic taught me well, my voice sounded as if it was directly to his left when I was standing behind him.

He still tried; my power flared it was alive as the blue ball of energy formed. "I warned you, leave her be," when it slammed into the back of his skull right before he turned around and saw who the super was who ruined his plans.

She just stumbled to me while my body sagged, "Bexley?"

"I warned you, can't you just listen. You dated him, you know him and just thought what? Oh, a nice night to leave the house, shit," she looked flustered. I continued, "Look don't tell anyone but Willow it was me, right now I am fixing the timeline and certain events have to play out. But you died and it fractured a section of the timeline, another died it fractured another so forth. But I can feel it, you're safe now I need to go. Just tell Warren this really hot chick saved you, he has arrived, and I can't have him know yet,"

The vortex opened shimmering more brightly than before, I stepped through and vanished to wherever it took me, our powers are alive to be this intelligent.

This time was the same, I was in my room.

It was dark outside, but my clothes have sand in them as I groaned heading back to the dunes she was found on the beach in the morning. At least I wouldn't be here for a full day just an hour or two as I took to the abandoned roads, my foot to the floor. I pulled my cell from my purse, calling Vic. "My number one,"

"Kai is going after Nikki, I am going to stop him at the beach," then I hung up knowing he be on his way, he would need to take my car home for me.

The rain gives of herself unto the ocean, each fragment becoming a part of the body of brine, of the waves and sea-lace. My eyes narrowed as the Kai continued taunting Nikki who was sobbing, "I have no clue what you are goin on about, Kai,"

He just spoke back to her never raising his tone, "You will tell me if my Bexley has fallen for that bastard Peace," so it was about Peace and myself. She just scoffed, "Have you seen them when they even get near each other, you poisoned her mind about him she hates him. But she hates you too," she was brave for standing up to Kai, it wouldn't help her he rather liked her tears.

He was alone when he moved to look at him, "Maybe, but maybe not. And now this is just a small form of vengeance since I never got to off your cunt of a girl and I loathe your brother and how close he is to my Bexley," she slapped him, hearing it crack even with the waves splashing against the rocks.

I smiled as she fumed, "You are such a bitch. I have been spying on every single thing you've done for Vic, he will always be a better man than you, he will always have her. They may never love each other like that but he has her in a way no man will ever have her. A brother, a best friend, everything in one package. Kill me, it will only bring death," she stood now even as I watched the black mist moving towards her, as it wrapped around her neck did it shake me from my daze.

I jumped from the cliffside, praying I could nail him and when I did it broke my fucking arm. I felt it snap but we went sailing into the water. I was shaking in pain but moved from the water fast not wanting to ever be in there with him, he had an advantage. "Nikki, fucking go now. GO NOW," she just gave me a look that broke my heart, her neck would have a scar, but she was alive and escaping.

"GOD DAMN IT, BEXLEY BABE," his oh so angry voice cracked the night air.

I just groaned, "You bitch, you stand there and say you love and try and kill my best friends' sister. You twisted fuck; you can't win me back like this. Read your journals and figure out a way," I was pulling at straws, my mind was in overload, exhaustion, and pain. He stopped mid-leap, hearing of those personal journals and the soft face I finally made at him, here I was still connected to him.

I took the chance and flung him into the waves and followed Nikki, she wasn't far as together we climbed the dune. I was pushing her up with my good arm when a hand shot out and yanked her straight up, she vanished, and I prayed it was Vic and not Kai. Then when the hand grasped my good arm it was way to warm and the safe feeling washed over me, Warren. You could tell when Warren was getting into the hunting game. His arms would go all rigid and his muscles would pop right out. I just sighed seeing Lucie and Vic tending to Nikki. I turned not feeling Kai, "He vanished," I say in a whisper.

Vic just rushed me when Lucie spoke, "First you saved me then vanished, now you saved Nikki. Why?" she begged me.

I just grin, "Glad to see you, and as for Nikki. I would save her a million times over, not just because she is related to Vic but because she is my friend. But I have to go now," I vortex was not opening, and it wasn't going to. Something was going to happen within the next two days.

Warren just gave his cousin a look, "It was Bexley?"

She just gave him an annoyed answer, "Yes,"

He gave me another look, "Yeah, you're right she is hot,"

Vic just pulled me closer, "Ew, come on Bex hospital for you and Nikki," it was best, and hoped Dr. Spex could just patch me up.

I was going to visit Hummingbird in the morning since in two days I would be gone for nearly two weeks that were actually years. But tonight I was seeing everything was on point and the timeline was not as fractured, now the last point was to kill Kai in the past both of split egos.
