Chapter 3

The jail door shut behind her. They had put her in prison.

"I just had to say it didn't I" Paige muttered

Paige had no time for this she needed to save her sisters. Out of all her old lives and she had to start with the enchantress. She searched the murky walls for a way out, there had to be a secret passage somewhere, after all she was in a medieval castle.

"I wonder what they are going to do to me" Paige muttered under her breath.

"HEAR THY HEAR THY, THE ENCHANTRESS IS GOING TO BE EXECUTED, TODAY AT 3: 30, AT THE OLD SCAFFOLD!"

"Well now I know, this could not get any worse"

The door slammed open to reveal an armed soldier. He tied her hands behind her back and led her outside to the front of the castle, Paige looked at the crowd standing before her, she was sickened, they were here to watch her death, well what they thought was the enchantress's death. She tried to Orb But it was too late her neck was nailed to a plank. The guard swung his arm back with a sharpened blade; Paige shut her eyes thinking it was the end. It was not, she had skipped to another past life.

"WITCHH!!" A strange looking man shouted he had seen her time glisten in, an army of people ran toward Paige with flaming torches, She was in the time of the Salem Witch Trials.

The Witch hunters were coming, coming for Paige. They knew she was a witch, which meant her being hung!

"Oh God Please don't make me run" but Paige knew running was the option, orbing out would be too much of a risk; they were already on her tail.

Dodging through the dark, dense forest, slowly losing breath, Paige hit something, something hard and solid. Before falling into darkness strong arms wrapped around her small waist, saving her from the autumn carpet floor.

Paige opened her eyes to see that she was lying in a handsome mans arms. The man had chocolate brown hair and sparkling green eyes. On his wrist was a tattoo of a phoenix.

Wait a minute did they have tattoos in 1692? Paige came to a sudden realization. He was a demon.

Paige jolted back, trying to run. The Good looking Demon grabbed hold of her arm with a strong grip and held her steadily in place.

"I'm not going to hurt you, I promise" he said in a calm voice.

"pfft, well that'll be a first for the day!"

"Trust me" the demon pleaded

"Why should I trust you, you're a demon" answered Paige

"I saved your life, the witch hunters would have surrounded you and then taken you to be hung, how dare you not recognize I'm good, I would never hurt a witch, never" The Demon replied the tone of his voice rising.

"Well that's just great, good for you"

"Whatever, believe whatever you want to believe, but I've everything I've told you is true. Now where are you from I'll take you there, any friends, family?

"Ummmm… well It depends, it depends what year it is"

"It's 1692 you ninny, why you asking such a stupid question?" he asked with a strange curiosity

'Wow 600 years' Paige thought

"Ummmm, No reason, can you take me to Melinda Warren" Paige replied, she knew that Melinda would be around, and ready to help her get to her next past.

"Sure babe"

"Don't call be babe, my name is Paige"

How dare a demon call her 'babe'! Paige thought trying not to react too harshly

"Well it's nice to have saved you, my name is Junior" The demon replied, smiling to Paige in a hidden flirtatious way.

"Junior, Junior, I'm sure I've met you before, the way you talk your tattoo and your name, it all seems familiar, but I can't put my finger on where from."

"I'm pretty sure I don't know you… I would remember such a pretty face like yours" Junior replied, he knew his attempt to 'flirt' would not be appropriate for Paige, but it was worth a try.

"Well that was a nice slice of cheese from the supposedly nice DEMON!!"

"Okay, okay but it was worth a try, now let's go see Melinda, hope fully that will improve your mood!"

Junior held out his hand, Paige hesitated, she didn't know if she could trust Junior yet but he was here to help, and her sisters weren't worth losing. Paige clasped her hand into juniors and he flamed them both out.

When Paige looked around, she realized that Melinda's house was nowhere in the distance and that Junior had taken her back into the woods.

"Why have you brought me here, is this some sort of a sick joke, or a trap?" asked Paige, "I thought you said you were going to take me to Melinda!" Paige accused

"I will, don't worry, it's just there are amulets around the village stopping any 'magical creatures' getting in or out, we'll have to walk but we should stop here for the night, you look like you could do with some rest" Junior said in a considerate tone.

"No I need to keep moving, you don't know, you won't understand"

"Let's just sit and you can tell me all about it"

"I'm not sure, this could come back and bite me on the ass" Paige said

"Well you have a very pretty ass" Junior replied.

"Fine I'll tell you, but only if you stop trying to hit on me!!" Paige knew she liked the idea of junior hitting on her after all he was VERY good looking, but she needed to keep her mind on saving her and her family's future.

Junior led Paige a little deeper into the forest until they came to a clearing. Junior sat down pulling Paige with him.

"Ok now we are settled, talk" Junior ordered.

So Paige sat down next to junior and told her story. By the end she was crying. Junior had his arms around her trying to comfort her. He didn't realize how difficult her life was, fighting demons everyday, finding out you're a witch, feeling like a replacement and now stuck in the past.

"Who do you think this demon is does he have a name"

"yerrr it was… ummmm… what was it?? ..… JUNIOR"

"What"

"NO HIS NAME WAS… junior" she looked at him. Paige grabbed his wrist and pulled back his sleeve to find the phoenix tattoo.

Paige jumped up and tried to run but junior was too quick. He clutched hold of her delicate arm before she had the chance to move her legs fast enough.

"I knew I shouldn't have trusted you, you killed my sisters, you, you BASTARD!!"

"No I didn't, I told you I don't hurt witches, I protect them, I swear on your life!"

"Oh so you want me dead aswel then do you, is this some sort of mixed up plan" Paige screamed losing her voice as she squeaked the last word.

"No, no it can't have been, it wasn't me, I promise you Paige!"

"But how do you explain your name, your tattoo and me recognizing your face and voice, it's not just a coincidence!"

"So it was me in the future, I am different know, I won't hurt you, please stay, I'll help you, prove to you that I don't intend to hurt your sisters by helping you save them, please"

Junior's words were coming out fast and mumbled, he was begging now, but he was desperate, she had to stay with him, she would. Right?
