Peters POV:
When Douglas decided he wasn't going to help anymore me and Whitney started to freak out. We can't do this by ourselves, but luckily I kept notes and materials. "Ok Whitney it says when we uncover this mirror we can't look into her eyes or say yes to anything she says." Whitney replied,"Ok so we do this then we have to point the stone directly at her and say the spell at the same time. Then to keep her in the stone for another week we have to use thirteen rose thorns, moon water, and lizard tail." "Got it, but what was the lizard tail for again?" She explained it's to guarantee she can't go back into the mirror. "Ok that's random, but oh well." I pulled out the thorns, tail, and moon water, and Whitney pulled the gem out of her pocket. "Ok Peter, on the count of 3 you pull the sheet off the mirror and we immediately start to recite the spell. 1... 2.... 3!!" I pulled the sheet off and stood next to Whitney focusing on the spell. "Martia, Martia? Are you there?" Katherine said interrupting us and distracting me from saying the spell. "Dang It Peter, ignore her, we can't let her distract us and we need to get home." Whitney said annoyed, I apologized. "Whitney please why are you doing this, what did I do? I'm your mom" Katherine said. "KATHERINE STOP CALLING ME WHITNEY IT'S MARTIA AND YOU'LL NEVER BE MY MOM, NOT ANYMORE!!" I had to quickly jerk her head towards me, because she almost looked at her. "I'm sorry, I almost messed this up after telling you to ignore her." "It's ok Whitney you didn't and she made you upset it's not your fault let's just do this before she messes it up." Whitney nodded.The spell:
We started to chant "Katherine will leave me alone, this gem is your new home." several times, as we finished placing everything in, we placed the gem in and both counted to 12 Whitney tapped me when she reached 11 so we would be on the same page, and I tightly shut the bottle, placing it in the drawer. "Ok now we look in the mirror and make sure she isn't there," Whitney said, fingers crossed. We looked up and she was indeed gone. "Ok we need to get home fast it's 6:30am, it's Deja's last Volleyball game of the season and she has to be there by 8:00 so she'll be up soon." Whitney said as we quickly left the unit and got in our car.
Deja's POV:
My alarm went off at 7:00, I groaned, I forgot that game was today. I don't even feel like going after all this news that's been thrown at me, but I need to for my team. Cristina and Rose both groaned being woken up. Rose opened one eye, rubbing the other, "what time is it?" "It's 7:30am, I'm so sorry for waking you up I have my last volleyball game today." "Oh your all good, what time is your game?" Rose asked, "There's 2 first one is an away game it starts at 2:00 the second one is a home game and it starts at 6:00." "Oh well I know it's stressful to play with all this news but I believe in you and if you want I'll come to both games, I need a distraction." "I'd love you to come." She replied ok before setting an alarm to get up later for my game. I hopped out of bed and started to get ready, right now we're practicing and then we're leaving for the game.Deja's outfit to practice:
Her uniform: (I don't know if this is actually a uniform or an actual team but pretend it's a fake for this story.)
After I got ready I walked into my room to grab my volleyball bag and noticed Cristina moved to the top of my bed. I went to wake up mom and dad and even shook them and they where to deep asleep, of course I can't wake up Landon because he has work at 3:00 and needs his sleep, my only other chance is Rose. I walk in and shake her awake she asks what's wrong and I explain I need a ride. She decides to just take moms car since hers is at her house. We get in the car and she begins to drive me to practice. I apologize for waking her up so early.
Rosalynnes POV:
I decide to drive Deja to practice and she keeps apologizing for waking me up but I assure her it's okay and if she ever needs anything else to tell me. Her school is only 6 minutes from her house and we left at 7:30 so I decide to stop at McDonald's and get her a sausage biscuit and orange juice before practice. I also pick up Cristina the same thing but lemonade instead of OJ, since she texted and asked where we were and wanted some food to. I took Deja to practice and ran into my cousin Mary, Doug's daughter. As I pulled up to let Deja out she noticed me and her and her mom came over to say hello. "Hey Rose, oh hey you know Deja?" Mary said. I said yes and explained it's a very long story. She just said oh cool and then her mom said she needs to go in and her and Deja walked in. Her mom waved bye to me before we both left. When I reached home I gave Cristina her McDonald's and we talked as she ate it. I agreed to take her with me to Deja's games later, and we both went back to sleep for a while.Mary's POV:
When me and Deja reached the locker room we where told we get 30 extra minutes to change and get ready for practice because the coach is stuck in traffic. I decide to eat some of my breakfast and Deja finishes hers. "So how do you know Rose?" I ask Deja she looks a little unsettled by the question and not sure if she should tell me. I speak up again assuring she doesn't have to tell me if she isn't ready. She asks how I know her and I explain she's my cousin, my dad and her mom are siblings. "Oh ok," She says, we sit in silence for a few more minutes and she finally decides to tell me everything that's happened. "Woah, that's... a lot." "I know and worst part is whole time I've been dog sitting for her, I mean how did I never notice?" "Dang I'm sorry, I really don't know it sounds like a tough situation I can't even imagine. Listen if you want to go home I'll tell coach you just weren't feeling well and couldn't come, Emily can always take over." "No that's ok, thank you though, but I've been looking forward to this game for so long, and I need to be here for the team, I'll be ok. Besides when I play volleyball I forget all my troubles and I need this." "Yea I get that." Our coach finally walks in and tells us to go out and start warming up. So we go out and warm up before practicing and eventually load the bus for the first game.Until next time adventurers. I hope you enjoyed this part and I'm slowly trying to introduce more characters and I'm trying to separate the story so I can give y'all more chapters. Feedback is again, greatly appreciated. Stay safe and stay kind :)
