RECAP:

The women came up to Scarlett and observed her very closely, Scarlett not moving a muscle. There was fear and a sense of panic in the pit of her stomach.

"I am Ramona." She said.

Scarlett took in a deep breath and nodded. "I'm Scarlett." She whispered, barely audible, trembling with fear.

Ramona smiled at her, then Scarlett felt safe and knew that Ramona wouldn't mean any harm.

"I am here to help Ethan." She said looking at him as he was on his knees next to the book saying a spell. "Come," She put a hand on Scarlett's shoulder and lead her to sit across from Ethan. "Tell him that I am sitting next to him." She instructed Scarlett.

"Ethan," She called out.

"Hmm." He looked up from the book.

"Ramona is sitting next to you, she is your ancestor." Scarlett said.

"Tell him that I will lend him my powers, and that I will be here for him." Ramona looked at Ethan lovingly.

"She said that she will lend you her powers and that she's here for you." Ethan nodded, he took in a deep breath.

"Here it goes." He said.

He put his hands over Vienna's comb and began to mumble a spell, Scarlett looked at Ramona and saw that she was holding onto Ethan head and closed her eyes tightly in concentration.

Suddenly a faint green light started to glow from underneath Ethan's hands. Scarlett was worried but Ramona assured that it would be ok.

Ethan gasped loudly which startled Scarlett, and suddenly Ramona had disappeared.

"I know where she is." He said with wide open eyes.

"He has a mental image of a map that will take you to the Skylark witch." Ramona said in Scarlett's ear, though there was no one there. Only air. It was her spirit.

"You have a map in your head?" Scarlett asked, then Ethan nodded.

"Let's go. We can't waste time." Ethan said. The two gathered their things and walked out of the forested path, into the park and onto the trail.

"Is it in walking distance?"

"She's at the theatre, the cineplex." Ethan replied.

"That is not in walking distance."

"Thanks captain obvious." He said. "I'll get us there, give me your hand."

In a blink of an eye they reached the parking lot of the movie theatre and Ethan looked directly at a group of girls from school.

"Veronica." He gasped.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They couldn't believe their eyes. Was this really happening? That means that Scarlett's suspicion was right.

"I knew what I saw that day at school in Mr. Kreeners' class." Scarlett told Ethan.

"So what now?" He asked. She slapped the back of his head.

"What do you mean 'what now?' We have to confront her!" She whisper yelled. "We worked so hard and this our chance." She looked at him but he seemed hesitant. "Ethan, if we don't do this we aren't only putting ourselves at harm but also our parents." She pressed.
