Ok, here is the next chapter. It's not in first person like the first chapter. I tried but failed, so here it is.
Chapter 2-A Man's Return
Today was a typical day in the Turner household, consisting of Pheobe getting ready for work, feeding Ben, and getting him dressed.
When Elizabeth arrived, Pheobe kissed her baby good-bye and headed off to work.
Once Pheobe had left, Elizabeth set her plan in motion.
For as long as she had learned Ben was alive, she had been working on this, a way to bring him back.
It had taken her over a year to figure out a way to do it, but finally she had it.
Elizabeth laid the baby in his playpen and kissed the top of his head.
"I'll make everything right," she promised the baby boy.
Making sure that Ben would be safe in the living room alone, Elizabeth walked into Pheobe's room.
There was only one thing she needed now.
She reached under Pheobe's bed and pulled out a box labeled "love."
Sifting through the box, she found what was needed, a picture of him.
Elizabeth gathered all the things into a bowl and laid out crystals on the floor. She put the picture in the middle of the crystals.
Elizabeth picked up a dagger and pricked her finger, letting a few drops of her blood fall into the bowl. When she did, the potion started to bubble and smoke.
After a minute, the whole room was a smokey haze.
Elizabeth couldn't see anything.
As the smoke cleared, a figure became visible.
He was dirty, his clothes were ripped, and he had a beard. His hair was a curly mess around his head.
"Mother," he said when the smoke had cleared.
"Yes, Cole. It's me," she said moving closer to her son.
"How did you...? How am I...?" he had so many questions.
"I brought you back. You didn't think that I was going to let you miss out on your son's life, did you?" she asked.
"My son?" Cole questioned.
"Follow me," she said walking into the living room.
Elizabeth picked up her grandson out of the playpen.
"Say hello to your daddy," she told the infant.
"How do you have my son?" Cole asked, fear in his eyes.
He was scared of what she had done to get the child. He hoped that she had not killed his son's mother, his love.
"It's all right, Cole. She's just at work. I don't do that anymore. I've changed," she told him, knowing what he was thinking.
Cole let out a sigh of relief.
"Do you want to hold him?" she asked.
Cole nodded and held his arms out.
"This is Ben," Elizabeth said, placing the child in his father's arms.
Cole looked in awe at the baby he was holding. He couldn't say anything, too amazed by the sight before him.
He was alive again and holding his son. Could things get any better?
"Does Pheobe know who you are and what you did?" Cole asked.
"She's about to," Elizabeth said, hearing a car pull up.
She had no idea why Pheobe was back. She had only left for work an hour ago.
Pheobe stormed into the house.
"I can't believe this," she said, putting her stuff on the table.
"Stay here," Elizabeth told Cole as she made her way to Pheobe. "What's wrong? Why aren't you at work?" she asked Pheobe.
"They told me that I needed a day off, that my column was crap and I should take a day at home trying to fix it. Oh, and they're not paying me for today. I can't afford this. I'm barely making the mortgage as it is," Pheobe rambled on.
"It's okay," Elizabeth told her. "If you need money, I can help you, loan you some," Elizabeth told her, trying to lighten her mood before she was hit with the news.
"Where's Ben?" Pheobe asked, knowing that just looking in her baby's eyes would make everything better.
"Well...he's...um..." Elizabeth started.
"Was he taken?" Pheobe asked about to have a panic attack.
Her baby was her whole life, all she cared about. His safety meant everything to her.
"No, he's fine," Elizabeth told her. "He's in the living room."
Pheobe walked past Elizabeth and into the living room and saw him sitting on the couch holding their son.
