Emily

Frustrated, Emily sat there, listening to them talk. She thought she knew how to do it, but she wondered if she could do it while sitting down.

She closed her eyes, and went deep into thought, thinking intensively about the time of the American colonies. She thought and thought until, when she opened her eyes, she was in what looked like a very old fashioned camp that smelled of smoke and sweat. Women scurried in dresses and bonnets, and men walked around in trousers and suspenders.

Emily noticed that something was missing. The pain was gone. She looked down to her side to see that there was no wound, only the ghost of a scar running down her side to her hip. She got up, enjoying her new freedom. There was only one question left.

How do I get back?

Jake

Oh my God, Jake thought Kate had noticed too, Emily's gone.
"Melpomene!" Kate screamed,"Emily just freakin' disappeared."
"She didn't,"Chase said under his breath," she time traveled. Melpomene, is that possible?"




****sorry that's all I can do****

Chase

"Yes, it's possible," Melpomene, shocked as well.
"Then where the flip could she be?" Chase asked, yellling now.
"Chase, calm down," Abi said, standing up now.

Emily

Suddenly, a villager started staring at her like she was some sort of freak.

"Witch!!!" The villager grabbed Emily by the arm and started leading her to an open lot.

"Wait! I'm not a witch! Please!" Emily begged.

"Silence! Here in Massachusetts, we know how to deal with you people." His face was incredibly grave.

She now saw what she was being led to. A gallows.

"NO! PLEASE!" She dug her heels into the ground, but she was no match to the burly villager who was used to hard labor. He harshly pushed her up onto the platform and started pulling up the noose.

Chase

Everyone seemed to be yelling at once. It was loud and noisy, and Chase couldn't concentrate.

"Guys, shut up!" He yelled, silencing them all.

"What's with the mood change?" Abi asked sarcastically. Chase ignored her as he continued to think.

"Come on Chase, it's no use. Just give up," Jake said.

"Guys, let him think," Melpomene said, looking at Chase.

There has to be a way.

He was concentrating so hard, he was getting a headache. Then an image passed through his head.

Gallows

He continued to think. They used gallows a while back, and it's been a while since they used them.
But what did they use them for?

Robbers, thieves, murders...witches.
There was one place in particular that used gallows for witches.

"Try Salem Massachutes!" Chase yelled. All the others jumped at the ferocity at his voice.

"But how do you know?" Kate asked, still uncertain.

"Just try it!"

JOHN

Liz walked up to behind "so are you going to let them have all the fun" Liz asked.
"yeah going to some mud riddled camp would be fun" John answered sarcastically, "it's probably best any way Chase is really over protective, and you know what I'm not even sure they've kissed yet" Liz shrugged to John point. "Maybe Chase is the sweet sensitive kind of guy no touch just thought kind of thing" Liz said deep in thought she took a step closer to John to get a better look out of the window "I'm having some thought about you Liz" John said laughing at his own perfetic Joke. He was pretty sure he was blushing now if the next thing she said didn't make him blush nothing would "why do they have to be thoughts" Liz said
"what no!" John said
"why not don't you trust me, I trust you".
"How am I suppose to trust you ,you appear out of no where and come staring helping me and now you tell me you like me".
"Of course I like you because I know your kind, funny or not but mostly cos I trust you".
"Why would you need to trust me?" John asked perplexed "this is why" Liz said turning away from John and taking her t-shirt off a ripple of temptation flirted down Johns spine and he wanted to hold on and never let go. Then he saw what she was wanting him to see a circle with a cross through it the circle meant the great power, the first strike was for loyalty and the second was for destruction of all who disobey. John stepped back and took his gun out "please John, I came here to break away from the great power to help destroy him," John lowered his gun always so trusting ,"but John you can't tell Melepone she'll never believe me she'll try to kill me" John put his gun away and pulled Liz close he gave a quick kiss before speaking "I'd never let that happen".


The hooded one sat at the table drinking sweet wine when Liz mother walked in. "your daughter it quite the little liar gaining his trust like that"
"she will be glad to hear it" the mother said bowing slightly
"you may go now" the hooded on said
"sir I have just one thing to say, I still think it should be my son who gets the gift". The hooded one clutched his glass until it shattered "I have chosen".

Emily

Tears rolling down her face, Emily was prepared for her death. The burly villager who had grabbed her bounded her hands and feet, while she watched, helpless.

Once finished, he hung the rope around her neck. "Say your last words, witch," the villager spat in her face.

"I- " she stuttered. A strange light was growing in the back of the crowd. Melpomene ran from the back and grabbed her hand.

"Quick! Think about the future!" She grabbed her hand and whisked her away. Away from the creepy villagers and the gallows.

Emily landed hard on the grass.

Chase

"Emily!" Everyone screamed and Chase turned around. Emily was lying on the grass, Melpomene standing above her.
Chase ran forward along with everyone else.
"Are you okay?" he asked, falling on his knees beside her. Everyone else did the same.

"That was freakin scary," she whispered, closing her eyes and shivering.

****Jok, read the post before you. You are way off****

Melpomene~

John hardly came in until past midnight. "Where were you?" I asked him.

"None of your business" he answered. Like I could have expected more. But I looked at him and I saw that feeling in him that gave him warm and fuzzies.

"John, just remember, you'd still be back there helpless or burning inside your house If I hadn't helped you. You are no more special now that you've cheated nature then before when you were innocent." He looked at me with a glare and turned.

"Thalia, I need you to help me. John hasn't noticed your presence. He's been gone all evening every day of the week now. Follow him and see where he's going. If you're caught you may blame it on me."

Thalia was still young and naive and so she agreed. When John left that evening, Thalia followed, blending into the landscape.

Thalia~

I crept alongside the walls. I knew where he must be going. To the Thames. To the pier. He walked down scanning his eyes all around looking for something. Then, something jumped out at him. It was a beautiful girl who apparently had a relationship with him. They Walked down the pier talking and laughing. Until something grabbed them both and pulled them into the Thames. I thought it was a trick with the eyes. These were wizards and witches but seeing them helplessly thrown under with no control was not witchcraft. I ran to Melpomene.

......I am so confused

Chase

"Woohoo!" Jake yelled, jumping onto the bed. The girls sitting on the bed screamed and moved out of the way.
Melpomene was actually giving them a break. First break in a while. Everyone was in Emily and Ellie's room.
"Guys, cut it out or else Melpomene will never give us a break again," Abi said sternly. Chase laughed at her expression. "What?"
"Come on. We actually have a break. We need to at least enjoy it while we can. We don't know when we might get the next one."

"Hey, does anyone know where John is?" Jake asked.

Emily

Laughing, Emily danced around, feeling great.

This was the first time in weeks since they have been able to goof off.

"We should go outside! It is a nice day, why not go and have a picnic?"

Everybody agreed, so they packed a lunch and headed out to the meadow where they had first appeared.

Emily sat next to Chase, and Abi was next to Jake and so on. They all ate and laughed, savoring the small happy moment that might never happen again.

Things began to quiet down and Chase and Emily began a quiet conversation.

"Guys, everyone up. I told you you could have a break but I'll make it up later. Hurry John's drowning in the Thames. A Plague pulled him down."

Used to not questioning any impulsive things that I did they all got up and began to get ready.

Emily

"Oh God," Emily murmured. They were looking down at the river, which was filthy and full of garbage. How were they going to find John?

"Quick! Everybody into the river. I'll divide you into sections to search," Melpomene shouted over the roar of the river.

"Wait! What if you can't-" Emily was cut off as everybody around her started diving into the river, pushing her into the water.

Down she sunk. She tried flapping her arms like they did in the movies, but it was useless. Her lungs were on fire, and she reached the bottom, she spotted John and the girl. Using the last of her strength, she pushed them to the surface.

Emily blacked out.

Chase

"I see them!" Kate yelled. Emily was up at the surface with John and a girl. Ballow and Chase swam over and helped them to the shore.
"Don't tell me Emily blacked out again," Abi said, running up to them.
"I think so," Ballow said.
