Chapter 6 - One More Day

Max's hand slipped away from his sisters waist and they both turned their parents standing in the doorway of the lair. Both looked angry as they stared youngest son and their only daughter. Jerry stepped forward, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!" he shouted. The room shook at his words, and Alex and Max both jumped back.

They were both used to Jerry shouting at them. Especially Alex. Not like this though. Max hid behind his sister, tears were cascading down his face. Alex reached back taking hold of his hand.

Both parents continued to shout at their children, Alex tried not to cry as they accused her of taking advantage and abusing her younger brother. Eventually she was able to filter out their words. She still heard them shouting but their words ran into each other creating a din, and did nothing to stifle the sobs that issued from Max as he hid behind his sister. She started to focus on him, she was more determined to comfort her frightened lover than listen to their parents shouting.

Alex turned her back on her parents and hugged Max close. "Don't you dare touch him!" Theresa spat enraged at her daughter as she rushed forward grabbing Alex's wrist.

The teenager's eyes flashed red as she pulled her arm from her mother's grasp. Theresa tried to grab Max and pull him from his sisters arms, but they both held on tighter and Alex swatted her mother's hands away, "We love each other, why can't you understand?" Max screeched, his voice crackling as he sobbed.

Theresa grabbed Alex and spun her round, breaking her hold of Max. "You don't know what love is!" she shot back. Alex watched as her mothers hand swung back and then forward. She felt the stinging pain in her cheek, and then she opened her eyes.

Alex sat up. Sweat dripped from her body, she was drenched. She wiped the sweat from her forehead. She sat with her head in her hands. The Moon Outside illuminated her room and cast a silvery glow across the bed.

Alex looked up, across to the mirror, hanging on the back of the wardrobe. You started it all, she thought to herself. "If it wasn't for you max would never have saw me like that and would never have fallen in love with me!" she shouted at the mirror. From the bedside table she picked up a heavy glass paperweight and threw it at the mirror shattering it.

"Alex!" Max shouted as he burst into the room. He rushed over to the bed and held her, "Are you ok?" He asked still holding Alex.

From her eyes tears started to fall. it had been almost two weeks since the night when their parents had caught them. Since that night they had barely been allowed to talk let alone touch. Alex didn't realise how much she missed his touch until now when he held her so tight. As she enjoyed her brother hug, which was a little tighter than usual, she tried to answer as best she could but the best she could manage was a few soft squeaks, as the tears ran off her face and into his t-shirt soaking it.

The Hallway lights clicked on and Jerry and Theresa appeared in the doorway with Justin peering over their shoulders. "We told you to stay away from him!" their mother screamed across the room at Alex.

Alex finally found her voice "But, but, but.! She uttered confused. Theresa marched over and pulled Max away and out the room, he stretched out trying to stay as close to Alex as possible until the last moment.

Alex cried even harder as Jerry stepped close to the bed. "I'm sorry honey, but its for your own good." he said trying not to let his own anger show. "We're just wanting to protect both you!" Justin watched his sister as the tears flowed down her face. "That's why we're spending you to the WizCorp, to help you get over this silliness!"

Jerry turned from Alex to talk to Justin "I'm going back to bed, clean that up and I'll see both of you in the morning." He then left quickly, leaving his two oldest children alone.

Justin stepped past his father and pointed his wand at the mirror. The shards flew back onto the door and reassembled themselves. He admired his work before turning to Alex, "I'm sorry!" she said meekly "I guess I'm not coping that well!" she tried to smile but failed.

"I talked to Max!! He said taking a seat at the edge of the bed. "He told me what happened, how he came to you." Alex stared at Justin, she looked worried. "I know the truth, and I want to help!" Alex smiled at his words, and was happy when he leaned forward to embrace her.

The night after they had been caught, Theresa and Jerry had called Alex down to the lair. There another shouting match started, Alex screamed at them as they told her there plan. They told her they had decided that she was being sent away to the WizCorp.

The WizCorp is basically military school for wizards. The excuse for sending her away was to protect her and Max. From what they needed protected from Jerry and Theresa wouldn't say.

Alex knew the real reason. Their parents blamed her, no matter what Max or his sister said they were convinced there youngest son had been forced into what happened. The were sure he hadn't been a willing partner. Max was their Baby and could do no wrong.

That night Max snuck out to see Alex in her room. They had only been together a few seconds when their parents burst in. Max had unknowingly set off a silent magic alarm jerry had asked Justin set up.

Meal times were the only times she got to spend with her younger brother. Although they were forced to sit at opposite ends of the table. There was little conversation at these meals. Max was now uncharacteristically quiet. Justin tried to speak but it was in vain.

It was a Thursday, Alex woke early. She showered, did her hair and make-up, got dressed and went down stairs. Theresa stood up in her dressing gown behind the island. She sipped her coffee and listened to the radio as it played some song she didn't recognise. As her daughter came down the stairs, she watched her very closely. She didn't want to send Alex away. In fact she wanted to keep her family together, but if her two youngest children wanted to have a relationship, she had to do something.

Alex approached the island and sat down on one of the bar stools. She could feel her mothers eyes studying her as she took the seat. She looked up and made eye contact, "Mum?" she started hopeful, but still sounding unsure of herself. "I know your angry with me, and you'll probably say no, but if any part of you still loves me? I have one thing to ask. For one day, my last day! I want to spend it with Max. So can I?"

Theresa surveyed her daughter, she could tell that Alex loved Max. Two weeks of anger suddenly disappeared. Theresa moved around the island and pulled Alex into a hug and said "I'm sorry honey!" she felt the teenagers return the embrace. "One day, just don't do anything, you know…" Alex let go of Theresa and jumped from her sear.

Alex smiled flashing her teeth, "Thank you!" she said as she rushed back up stairs.

As the sound of Alex's footsteps grew fainter Theresa leaned back on the island. She really loves him, she thought to herself. Suddenly the guilt Theresa already felt became much heavier on her heart. She placed her hand over her heart steadying herself with the other by holding onto a chair and sang quietly to herself, "Be my lover, And I'll Cover you…"

Alex rushed up the stairs and down the hall towards his room. She stopped outside and carefully pushed the door open, trying not to wake her brother. She closed the door and crept over to the bed. Max turned over and moaned. His face was buried in the pillow, and his ass was sticking up in the air.

Alex reached for the duvet and pulled it from the bed. The Duvet whipping around him and the sudden cold woke Max up. "Alex!" he cried as he saw his sister standing at the side of the bed. "You have to go!" he said painfully, "If mum or dad catch you…"

Alex placed a finger in his lips cutting him off and replied, "They'll catch me doing what mum said I could do." she leaned down and pecked Max on the lips.

Max jumped from the bed and kissed Alex back passionately. "They're letting you stay?" he asked excitedly, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Alex shook her head, "No, I talked to mum and she's given us this last day to spend together." Max smile faded, but he nodded and embraced his sister. "I missed you!" She muttered in his ear.

Jerry stood with his two oldest children waiting for a train. Above them a small plastic sign with platform 6 5/6 printed on it. He kept glancing at his watch. "Sorry guys I have to go. Justin make sure Alex gets on the train to the WizCorp camp," he said looking at his oldest son before turning to Alex. "I'm sorry it has to be like this honey, but hopefully this won't be for long!" he reached out and hugged his daughter, who didn't return it.

Justin watched his father walk to the nearest portal to the mortal world. Once he was sure Jerry was gone he grabbed Alex's hand and pulled her down the platform, across a bridge, down some stairs and then out into a smiled tiled room. At the far side of the room a bright light surrounded by hundreds of small floating crystals, "This way!" Justin said pulling Alex towards the light.

As the stepped through they both felt a strange coldness wash over them. Once they had emerged on the other side the coldness disappeared.

They were standing in a large atrium, on either side they were doors leading away. The walls seemed to be made of what looked like ice, but wasn't melting despite how warm the room was. At the far end a woman sat behind a desk which seemed to be made of the same materials as the walls.

The siblings walked towards the desk. As they got closer they got a better look at the woman. Her hair was a thinning cool grey, that she had curled close to her head. She wore wire rimmed glasses that enlarged her eyes. Her face was wrinkled and she wore silk white robe that shimmered in the light.

As they approached, the woman looked up and said, "Hello, how may I help you?" Her voice was strong but sweet. She gave a broad smile and folded her hands on the desk.

Justin Looked to Alex and pushed her forward. Alex looked from the woman to Justin and back her face a picture of confusion. "What do I do?" she asked. Justin gave a small smile and the woman behind the desk pointed up also smiling.

Above the desk carved into the wall was a large ornate design with a message inside it.

True Love Is Rare

Finding Your True Love Is Rarer

Inside These Halls

Two Half's Exist

Enter Now

If You Wish To Know

If The One

You Think Is Right Is

"Oh right!" Alex said still confused. She looked to Justin to explain.

He looked at his sister as she stared blankly. "This is the Hall of Crystal Hears. Here there is physical manifestation of you hearts desire." Justin started to explain the woman nodded at his words. "It's very old magic. It looks into your soul and can show you who your true love is. Each crystal has only one other that can complete it! Alex nodded.

She turned back to the desk, "Show me my true love?" she asked confidently.

The woman smiled and rose to her feet and said "Follow me." she moved out from behind the desk and signalled for Alex to come to the nearest door.

Alex followed the woman who seemed to know where she was going as they moved through the aisles. Alex lost count of how many crystals, shelf's and aisles they past. Eventually the woman stopped and turned to Alex. "Here we are. Russo, Alex. New York City, Parents Jerry and Theresa Russo. Alex thanked the woman who then retreated back to the atrium.

Alex looked at the heart, it was had a soft jagged edge down one side. Inside their was a miniature version of Alex. The Mini Alex looked around scared and confused, looking around for something for someone.

Alex reached out and picked it up. Instead of being cold like she expected, the crystal was quite warm. The heat spread through her fingers and down her arms. She looked across the shelf for Max's. It too had a miniature version inside. The Mini Max had the same look of confusion as Mini Alex. She picked it up and looked at them both.

Do I want to do this, she thought to herself as she held the two crystals. If they don't fit this will all be for nothing. Suddenly Alex didn't want to put them together. She sat down on the floor still holding the crystals and stated to think about what to do.

Justin crept towards his sister. She was still in the floor, holding the crystals. He sat down next to her and gave here a few seconds to notice him.

Alex didn't even acknowledge him. "I don't know what to do!" she said, "What if it doesn't fit…"

Justin interrupted Alex "Then we go to plan B!" Alex looked at Justin. "Did you really think this was all I planned?" Alex smiled and giggled shaking her head. Justin smiled back and said "Just do it and lets see what happens."

Alex nodded and lined up the crystals. Alex was blinded by the light. The crystals formed a perfect heart. Inside the heart Mini Max and Alex were no longer looking, they had grabbed each other and were kissing passionately.

As they left the Hall Of Crystals Hearts, Alex glanced at her watch. "It's getting late. Mum and dad will be getting worried about you." She said as they walked back up the stairs.

Justin shook his head "I texted mum before. Said I was going to the Mall with Zeke when I got back to earth. They wont expect me home until tonight."

They walked past the platform that they had stood at earlier, and out of the Wiz World station onto a busy street. The walked down the street, and came across a small café. Justin opened the door and allowed Alex to step in before following her in.

The Lair was empty, the door to the Wiz World started to light up, Justin and Alex came through and padded cautiously into the room. Justin made his way to the bookcase, while Alex walked out of the lair to the stairs.

She reached the top of the stairs and peered around the corner into the living area/ Jerry and Theresa were both sleeping on the couch, the TV cast a eerie glow across the room. Alex quietly made her way across to the other side of and up the stairs to the bedrooms.

She went into her own room first. She dropped to her knees and reached under the bed and pulled out a shoe box. She pulled the top of and peered into it. The box was rather untidy, when she reached the bottom she found what she was looking for. A thin gold chain and on hanging off it, A gold oval locket.

She pulled the locket out and closed the box. Alex stood up, picking the box up and carrying it out with her under her arm, and the locket pushed into her pocket. She stepped out and closed the door making her down to the last bedroom. She pushed the door open and walked over to the bed. She dropped the shoebox on the desk and pulled the locket out of her pocket. She lifted some rubbish from the chair and sat down, playing with the locket between her fingers.

The moon provided the only light, but even with the dim light Alex could see the track of his tears that they had been left as they ran down his cheeks. She thought about the last few hours. How she had went from a one way ticket the WizCorp to planning to use one of the most dangerous spells ever.

Flashback

Justin Spoke in a hushed tome "It rewinds time as far as back as you want. No one apart from the caster remember the original timeline." Alex nodded, "but the further you go back the more dangerous it is! If you go back to far it could kill you." Alex sat back and pondered the situation.

She had two choices, show their parents the crystal hearts and hope they accept them, or use a dangerous spell that will rewind time to before they got caught and there parents would never know and they could be together. Alex formed the plan in her head and looked straight at Justin her eyes burning "I'm going to use the spell."

End of Flashback

Max stirred slightly in his sleep as Alex stood up to leave. She smiled and leaned over placing a kiss on his forehead. She then picked up the shoebox and walked out of his bedroom.

She mad her way down the stairs, the locket and chain were wrapped tightly around her fingers. As she walked back into the lair Justin looked up and nodded. Alex sat down opposite her older brother. She held out her hand "I'm going to use this as the container." She said showing him the locket he nodded in approval.

Justin flipped the book he was reading around and pointed at a passage. "That's the spell! He said proudly. Alex looked over the passage and stood up nodding.

"Thanks for all your help Justin." Alex said softly. Justin smiled and opened his mouth to reply, but she cut him off. She pointed her wand at him and said, "Tysono"

Alex spell hit him in the chest, and Justin slumped over in his chair. She kneeled down and read the spell again. She moved into the substation carrying the shoe box and the locket. She dropped them on of the tables and went back to the lair.

She picked up the book and turned to Justin. "I'm sorry Justin, but I love Max and I need if I turn back time to when we get caught, it just means I'll just be waiting until we get caught again. I have to let Max have a normal life! I'm going to make it so none of this ever happened. She then turned and made her way back through.

Alex slipped the locket around her neck and placed the box next to her. She rested the book on top of the box. She read the spell one last time and then began.

The spell used old magic, and required the casting of a spell circle. Alex drew the circle on the floor around her and sat down on her knee's. She though of when she wanted to go back to and started to chant. "Take me back to the time before, take me back to the time before, take me back to the time before."

As she chanted, she didn't notice the person coming down the stairs or when the person rushed towards her. Alex's eyes turned pure black, the veins on her face started to show up and became a deep red. She was no longer in control, the chant was forced on by magic. Her head swung back, her arm spread out Christ like. A wind started to blow around the spell circle and the edge started to glow. The Light illuminated the figure.

Max screamed at Alex as the chanting became louder. Tears ran down his face as he looked on helpless. Jerry and Theresa ran down the stairs and joined Max at the side of the circle.

Theresa grabbed max and pulled him back, holding him close. Jerry reached out and touched the light, it stopped him reaching Alex, and burned his hand slightly.

Alex eyes returned to normal and she looked at her father "I'm Sorry!" they said at the same time. Behind Jerry, Max was being held back by Theresa and screamed, "ALEX! I LO…"

The Light From the circle spread out and absorbed everything, before contracted back and everything went dark.
