"Artemis!" Selene calls out to her. She sits quietly by a small pond, ripping to pieces a small branch and tossing them on the water. Anger and irritation clearly is her mood today, just how it has been fir the past years or so, she can't quite recall how long it has been since that night.

Selene gathered her long silk like robe and sits on the huge boulder next to her. Artemis, moves her sword out the way and scuffs her boot on the floor.

Selene sighs and bring her hand 9ver her shoulder. "Sister, how long will you be mad? It's been years since I have last seen you smile. I miss that pretty face being enlightened by a happy smile." She looks at her concerned and places her chin on her shoulder.

"Spare me your pity will you? You don't know what's like. If I could, I'd gone after that wicked wench long ago and recovered my beautiful babies! I hate the fact you denied us passage to their realm. Why can't you make an exception?"

"Artie! You know I can't do that! It's for the good of our realm and for the good of the creatures in earth. I can't. . .I'm sorry." Selene narrows her eyebrows, she can sense the sadness in her sister's voice.

"And why? Why does it have to be this way? Please Selene. Haven't I served you faithfully long enough? Just let me go down there and find them? I'll bring them back and stop Carrie from reentering! I've guarded our gateways without any trouble up to now!"

"Artie please! I can not undo what has been done. I'm sorry dear sister, but we will have to wait until the time mother said." Selene cups her cheek, but Artemis pulls away furiously and stands to her feet. Her back towards Selene and she grabs a large boulder without a struggle and tosses it angrily across the pond, creating a big splash of water near them.

"This isn't fair Selene! I want my babies back with me! I need them. I'm nothing without them." Tears roll down her soft silky skin.

"Artemis I know it's hard. But, if it helps in anyway, I have made sure to pair her with an amazing mate. One that will surely look after her and, believe me! He'd do anything to protect her. I promise you he will look after your daughter. And all the same with your son. I have given him great strength and wisdom. He has yet to receive a suitable mate, but I have a great girl in mind. She will love him and cherish him just how you would of liked." Selene places her hands on her shoulders. She knows Artemis is nowhere near satisfied, but surely she can at least try and give the best life possible to her niece and nephew.

"Is that really supposed to make me feel better? You know for a fact that nothing, and I mean NOTHING will ever make me feel better until I can see my twins again. To have them face to face and be able to embrace them." She grips the hinge of her sword, making it glow to her touch.

"Along with ripping Carrie's head off her shoulders and throwing it to Hades' dogs to feast upon. I will not rest until I make sure she is sent to oblivion." Her teeth clench and a treacherous tear runs down her cheek to the thought of her young twins in the hands of her sister, who had the audacity to betray them.

Selene sighs and turns, giving her back towards her sister. "You know darn well that I would have done anything to keep her from taking your twins. It was my fault dear sister! I'm sorry. If I could redo mother's decision I would have gladly given her my position. Maybe this way-"



"Are you kidding me Selene? Mother made the wisest decision. Carrie was unhappy with the gift mother bestowed upon her. That was not your fault. Nothing would have been any different. At least not for the best! I do believe if you would have stepped aside; she most likely would have abused from her powers. You were the best to lead us, and bring order to all the other realms."

Carrie runs uphill with all her might. She fled the scene as soon as she was able to hear the whispers outside from Dylan and Alarick. Though they have great senses, they still don't match hers since she is still considered one of the moon goddesses. Even if she was thrown out of that realm.

She runs towards her hideout in an old rugged cabin. She holds her robe and dress in her hand as she bypasses many branches and trees. Quickly as she can, she bursts open the door and closes it harshly behind her.

She wears a small ring in her right ring finger. A small box in her left hand that she holds tightly. She quickly scavenge around the cabin, panting and trying to ease her heart from thumbing so loud in her ears.

"There!" She says as she glimpses towards a lose wood on the floor. Using her magic, she lifts the wood off the floor along with many other pieces. Magically, she chants, making a pathway appear out of nowhere, creating a tunnel down to a secret room she creates with her magic.

Her magic seemingly so surreal; making objects and furniture appear of thin air. She opens her robe, a few small jars she holds in a pouch.

She takes the small jars out, with extra of the ugly potion she had created earlier today to bring back to consciousness Harou and Candace's baby.

She places them on the small table she creates, along side a small cauldron and a ladle. "Ok! Let's see if I can remember this. If I can just bring that girls body here, I can have enough blood to complete my ritual and be able to freeze Selene's stupid curse for just a few seconds. Enough for me to enter and get back home."

She begins by puncturing the heart she holds inside the small box. "Ok Emma! Let's see how good you will work for me shall we?" She extracts a bit of the blood and pours a few drops inside the heart of that wretched green potion.

A few seconds later, the heart begins to pump on its own again. "Yes! It worked." She quickly places the rest of the potion down and opens the other jars. She reaches in to her pocket and brings out a beautiful crystal in a white and pink glitter tint. She tosses the crystal inside the cauldron along with a few pinches of each jar; slowly, she conjures the spirit of an old witch friend.

"What do you want from me Carrie?" The spirit calls out. "Can I not rest peacefully the rest of my time here? Why must you torment me with your presence?" The spirit is annoyed and irritated by her presence, but knows not to test her either.

"Aren't you glad to see me darling? Now that is very ungrateful of you dear friend!" Carrie looks at her sternly and moves slowly towards the spirit.

"Just tell me why you have summoned me? What ugly deed do you have cooking in that mind of yours this time? Don't tell me you're still trying to break Selene's curse keeping you from entering her realm?" The spirit chuckles making Carrie feel irritated.

"Amber! Focus. This time it's different. I think I found the right crystal. I've been working non stop on my spell. I think I have it this time. All I need, is a little help from you." She turns her back towards the spirit, bringing forth the pink and white glittered crystal and the cauldron along with a small vile containing a small portion of blood she extracted from Emma's heart.

"What is this? How did you get your hands on the blood of the Phoenix clan?" Her eyes wide, gasping as she sees the blood and suddenly realizes the heart itself is present.

Carrie chuckles and glances over towards the small box containing the heart. She walks slowly towards it and picks it up in her left hand while holding the blood in her right.

"Oh, you mean this? Just a little keepsake I wanted to hold on to. This, is precisely where you come in my little transporter!" She smiles evilly at her, and Amber gasps, unable to comprehend how wicked Carrie has become.

"I want you to bring me her body here. I need her to help me. In case my potion doesn't work, I can just get more blood from her." Amber's eyebrows narrow. She's confused and doesn't understand why Carrie would need the blood of a healer from the Phoenix clan.

"Ok, I don't understand Carrie. Last time we talked, you said you needed the blood from your sister's daughter, the girl you stole from her. Then you said you needed the blood from her brother, which you stole from your sister. . . Why did you steal them away from Artemis again?"

Carrie rolls her eyes and grunts. "For the last time! I stole Artemis twins because she pissed me off. Her and Selene were the ones that casted me out of the gods realm. When I tried getting back in, Artemis stopped me. She threatened to kill me next time I tried getting back in."

"But, I thought you were immortal? How can she kill you?" Amber's eyes squinted and her hand gestured forward questionably.

"Well she can. Ok! Look, it's hard to explain. Only a god can terminate another god. Unfortunately, since they casted me out, I am no longer a goddess, but rather more like , a deity. I'm immortal, but not a goddess anymore ok. Now enough! Take the damn blood in your hands and do your thing, I need the body of that girl here. NOW!" She pushes the small vile with blood against Amber's chest, making her take a step back.

Amber holds the blood in her left hand and chants over it with her other hand circling over it whole she chants.

Her eyes closed, a vivid light in blue and gold circling around her in a cloud of smoke. Her humming and chanting getting louder and stronger as the cloud like smoke thickens.

Before long, the smoke merges towards the ceiling of the underground hidden room where they are , and comes down quickly like a lighting on top of the table where the heart is.

As the smoke fades, the figure of Emma's body is left in its place.

Carrie claps her hands, jumping in place and smiles. "Yes! That's how it's done baby. Now go, I no longer need you." She gestures Amber away and before Amber can protest, she makes her vanish again. Sending her back to her infinite time in limbo, where she had sent her after killing her years before this present day.

"Now! Let's see how good your Phoenix lineage is shall we? If I put your heart back in, and give you a taste of blood from your own little heart of course, because I certainly am not giving you my blood; it should be enough to get you back to normal."

She grabs the heart off the box and glances it carefully, the small thump of the heart is still heard.

"Now, since technically, you are part vampire, you need a dead heart, so!" She glides her hand over the heart, returning it to normal. The thumping of the heart stops again and she forcibly presses it inside her chest.

Without hesitation, Emma jolts up after just a few minutes. Gasping for air. Her mouth dry, and eyes filled with tears; and though she tries to move, she realizes she is tied to a chair by her feet and hands. Though other times, she could easily break the chains, she realizes they have an enchantment, preventing her from breaking them.

She tries again and again to break free but to no avail. "No need for agitation darling. You'll need your energy for what's coming." She turns, her eyes wide to the sound of Carrie's voice.

"Carrie!? Why? Why did you betray us? How could you do this to your own daughter?"

"Oh gosh up girl! I'm not the only one that had been keeping secrets now am I?" She grips Emma's cheeks harshly and pushes her against the back of the chair.

"I don't understand Carrie! What do you want from me?" Emma's voice breaks, the tears freely running down her cheeks.

"Oh save me the pity won't you? What I need from you is simple." She gets up, grabbing a small knife and bringing it forth in front of Emma's face.

"I only need your blood, that's all." She cuts Emma slightly on her wrists, making the blood slowly poor out and down to two small containers she had previously placed under Emma's sides.

"Why? What do you want from my blood?" Emma's voice broken and on the verge to break in tears again.

"Oh naive child. It's not just your blood I need! You now carry the blood of five other wonderful creatures in all existence. Do you know how powerful that blood running through that dead body of yours is? You don't! Do you?"

She turns, grabbing a little of the blood with her finger and examining it with amaze in her eyes.

"Oh dear child! You are going to be my little helper from now on. So sit tight! We have a long- long time to working together. " She gets up walking away and opening the door to the room.

"And don't bother yelling. We are all alone in the middle of nowhere! No one will ever hear you, or find you." She turns, winking at Emma and chuckling, closing the door with a harsh thud behind her.
