As a thank you for sticking around, I made a throwback chapter. I didn't intend it to be this long but I couldn't find time to edit it so :p
This chapter shows the time when Ruby sat Alyssa down to tell her their tale. It'll take back on the ride we've had so far and you'll realise we've been together for so much.
Writing this just made me realise how much I love you all and these characters.
You'll also get a few insides of Alyssa. But if you don't wish to read it all, please at least read the last parts as they do influence the story further. :)
So strap yourself for the longest chapter I've ever written and one which will give you a Niagara Falls of nostalgia.

"Alright, um, I was sent to the Old Lake in Minnesota. Remember we spend Camp Week there in '92?"
Ruby nodded.
"So, at first I thought he was a hallucination but he wasn't. We argued a lot and then suddenly Justin came to us. We were living our road trip again but only the roadhouse was a bar which Levi had been in and there were soldiers so we ran and stole a car. I learnt about spirit repellent symbols; can you believe I had no clue what all that was?"
"I'm not fully informed either." Ruby stated blankly.
"Anyways, we went to Louisiana and had to steal the remains of a witch, our first ingredient, from a warehouse because the charity dinner I went to wearing my prom dress and with someone else's identity had already sold it. Then we drove back to Dallas, I learnt a summoning spell but then an Angel appeared and teleported us back to a memory because soldiers closing in. This memory was of me going to aunt Sarah but Levi had an unpleasant one, his father's accident. The Angel's couldn't remove the original spell from Levi. Richard was my father here, he even kissed mom-"
"Excuse me?"
"But then Levi was on his own and he asked me to call them back, I did but that was my mistake. The phone call caused their accident. Levi was very upset and for good reason. We talked in the chapel of the hospital. I tried to be nice, Ruby, I really did but he just got to me. That's what he does. We again argued and felt horrible. I
I began doubting that I might die here. But then I bumped into another Angel.." Alyssa paused. "Crystal."
"That's a nice name." Ruby commented.
Alyssa smiled sadly. "She's the best." Then she cleared her throat and blinked her eyes.
"Next, Crystal sent us to a weird land. I was a princess named Arabella and Levi was a prince I was apparently in love with but my parents wanted me to marry someone else. I fought with them just like I used to with mom and dad. On our way to the capital for my wedding, I managed to escape and Levi found me with a horse cart. We rode and killed a man because-"
"Alyssa!?"
"He was gonna expose us! And I had the same reaction, but he wasn't real anyways."
Ruby gaped at her.
"So we found the bark but the soldiers found us and this Angel sacrificed herself to save us. Her name was April-"
"Aw poor thing! I feel bad for the Angels. Such good guys always get f*cked."
Alyssa wasn't sure if she had the same opinions on Angels anymore.
"I woke up in a school bus, as Kathryn."
"Our head cheerleader?" Ruby laughed.
Alyssa nodded. "Amusing for you, isn't it?"
"Sorry, continue."
