Days later I have tried to crack the code, but now I was trapped. A man with bushy eyebrows had trapped me in a headlock and was ready to hang me. He tied me in ropes around the wrists and ankles and strapped one around my neck.
"PLEASE, NO, I'M HERE TO SAVE YOU!" I sobbed but they didn't listen.
"That's what the last one said!" Cried a scraggly hag.
"And you tied a weight around her ankles and threw her in the lake! Didn't you?!" I screamed as they raised me an inch or two.
"Sure did! She's gone now! Drown' inda lake!"
"And did she float?" I tested.
"NO!" screamed Jack. "I've read about her! She's chosen for greatness! Not only is she here to save us, but," his voice softened, "she's a sweet and lovely girl. And, I love her. I WON'T LET YOU KILL HER IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO."
"Jack, stop." I whispered.
"RAISE HER! IF SHESA' WHICH SHE'LL USE MAGIC TO GET HERSELF OUDDA' THIS!" Screeched the hag.
I lifted...
My hands were tied behind my back. As I raised a foot or two my neck chocked and my eyes teared up. I began to black out. My last sight was Jack running up to my dangling legs and pulling them down. I let out a long, piercing, scream. And I fell and hit my head. I had died again.

Jack screamed and cried as his father whipped him across the face with a bullwhip over fifty times.
"GET UP, SON!" his father yelled. His father was a cruel man. He left his son to cry that night holding the body. Jack hugged Evanna tight.
"Evanna, I'm sorry. So sorry, Evanna. I should've just said it." he sniffled between sobs. "Should've told you I loved you. Then maybe you'd be okay now." He laid a rose on her chest. How should a fifteen year old boy suffer such a tragic loss and be shut out by his father? How is it fair? It's not. And I know better than anyone. I'm Jacob's mother. And I was the first Time Angel. And Evanna is not yet dead.
