"This shouldn't be so hard" Sky mutters throwing her hands up aimlessly, she has been trying for days now to connect to the real world and get Cole and her out of here.
"Calm down" Cole says watching her from the dining chair, Sky looks up at him from where she is sitting monk style on the floor.
"Trust me this is calm" she says groaning.
"Maybe you're not focused enough" he says.
"How can I not be focused enough? I have tried scrying, magic spells and nothing seems to fucking work and I am really starting to feel like we have no hope" she snaps. Cole scowls and walks over to her dropping to his knees grabbing her hands roughly.
"Maybe you need some motivation little witch. Listen to me I have never seen you give up since we've been here, so don't start now. Listen to my voice and focus on your magic feel the real world beneath you" Cole says his voice full of annoyance but encouragement.
Sky looks at Cole before exhaling blocking out any noise aside from his and her breathing, she closes her eyes before chanting in Russian. "Invocabo acient a potentia quae in me est , et nos iterum in imagine inquisitio de ejus semper sit inanis" ( I call upon the acient power from which I possess send us back in my quest to the real time and out of this void let it be forever more). Her eyes open as the balcony door flies open and the wind blows, she stands up as does Cole.
"Do you think it worked" she asks him looking around.
"Only one way to find out" Cole says holding her hands looking in her eyes as it feels like they are being lifted.
"Are you scared" she asks as their hair blows, Cole shakes his head.
They are blinded by a big, bright white light before the condo is out of their view. Cole gasps a big deep inhale of breath in as he sees that he is lying in a park under the dark night, he sits up feeling kind of light headed but that fades away and he stands up calling for Sky when he sees her sitting against a tree. He walks over helping her up checking for injuries.
"How do you feel" he asks?
"Light headed, starving and tired" she says.
"Sounds like human problems" he says chuckling and she laughs along with him.
"So where are we" she asks looking around.
"Looks like Central Park and I know there is a restaurant and hotel a few blocks from here" Cole says.
"We have no money" she says as they start walking.
"No but we have a witch which can mean a mind control spell" Cole says looking down at her.
After using magic to get a free meal and a free hotel room, Cole and Sky are thinking of a place to stay and jobs. "I can always work as a fashion designer" she suggests, "and I can go back to being a lawyer" Cole says. "Now that leaves as to where we will live" Sky says.
"We can't go back to my condo it's probably sold by now" Cole says when Sky gets an idea.
"I forgot that when my dad passed away he left me my old childhood home" she says.
"How many bedrooms" he asks?
"Three and two bathroom with a gourmet kitchen and a backyard" she says.
"Well we can go get it tomorrow right now I just want to rest" Cole says kicking off his boots and climbing into his bed. Sky does the same thing and closes her eyes hoping nothing goes wrong.
