"I can't believe it," Marnie said. "The portal's closed."
"We're going to have to wait for an entire year," Maisie said, horrified. Who knows what would happen in the mortal world after Kal casted his spell.
"I suppose it would give us both time to train you both, as we planned to do," Aggie suggested. "And then, when the portal opens, we'll be ready to fight Kal."
"Just wait for a year of mortal time?" asked Marnie, sounding like she was going to cry.
"The mortal world would be in chaos by then," Maisie said. All because of some power-hungry kid.
What happened to the people that didn't dress up for Halloween and stayed home? Would humans ban together and end up killing the creatures that once was their loved ones because they didn't understand?
"It's gonna feel like a century here," Marnie continued.
"Whatever," replied Luke, sitting down.
"No," replied Marnie. "Not whatever." She was on the verge of crying, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault Mom's turned into this horrible creature."
"It's not your fault," Maisie told Marnie. "I would've done the same thing over some guy paying attention to me for once."
"There's gotta be something we can do," Marnie said.
"Marnie, I love them too, but I can't change the rules," Aggie said.
"What if we can?" asked Maisie. "We just gotta find the fire exit to the rules."
Marnie went to Aggie to take something from her. Aggie asked, "What – what are you doing?"
Marnie took the head phone, "Calling Sophie." She spoke into the head phone, "Sophie? Soph, are you there?"
The wait was painful, but Sophie did reply, "Marnie is that you?"
Marnie spoke into the head phone, "Sophie, listen to me. We're going to open the portal."
"We can't," Sophie replied. "It's after midnight."
"I don't care," Marnie said. "That's not gonna stop me." She paused and explained, "The portal hasn't always been there. It was created by magic and nobody's magic is stronger than ours, right?"
"I guess so," Sophie said.
"No, no," Marnie said. "You've got to believe it. And Dylan has to, too. Come on. What do you say?"
"Okay," Sophie said. "But how do we do it? There's no spell for this."
"We'll make up our own," Maisie said.
"Are you ready?" asked Marnie.
Marnie set the head phone down and took Maisie's hand.
Maisie looked at Luke and held her hand out, "Come on."
"I'm no warlock," Luke replied.
"I just need somebody who believes that anything is possible," Maisie told him.
"Do you believe that?" asked Marnie.
"If you're there, yeah," replied Luke, replied taking Maisie's hand and standing up.
Marnie looked at Aggie, "Grandma?"
Aggie took Marnie's hand, "I'm not sure how this'll work out, but I've always believed in you two."
"We call on the dreams of creature and mortal, to heal the wound that worlds divide. From now on, we each can create a portal, and each of us our own path divide," Marnie and Maisie said in unison.
