"Elizabeth, are you coming with us to pops?" I said stepping in my youngest daughter's new bedroom.

"yeah of course I am mom, you know how much I hate staying inside, plus I finished unpacking so..." she replied shrugging. I nodded my head then went up to my room, changed from my bathing robe and headed to the kitchen where I saw my twin sister chatting with my brother-in-law.

"hey 'ram, why don't you start up the car while we wait for the girls to finish dressing".

"sure, Al no prob".

"thanks," once Hiram was out the door I turned to my sister " 'mione, did you tell Ronnie about riverdale yet?" I said worried for my niece's safety.

"not yet Al, but I don't know how she didn't figure it out herself, I mean you can feel the magic in the air" she paused a little before continuing, "what about betty and polly?"

I sighed, "I didn't tell them we were back to my childhood home but the second the car passed the welcome to Riverdale the town with PEP! Sign, betty started coughing and choking and spitting out blood, I had to stop the car to check on her, and then she ran out of the car and-and started reciting some spells I don't even know, she stood up from the floor and looked at me and she was grinning from ear to ear.

She then was like mom we're here aren't we, I looked at her weirdly and she replied with a we're at your childhood town, I looked at her like, how did you know and all she said was, we're safe, we're finally safe, I am safe. And got back in the car like nothing happened." I said freaking out about what was happening to my daughter, it wasn't the first time something like that, or something strange happened to her, and everytime I think about it, it gets me back to the day I had contacted my mate for the first and last time since I left Riverdale telling him what was happening to me when I was pregnant with Betty and that I've never felt that kind of power, he said that the same thing was happening to his arranged wife(which I was very jealous of) and then I awoke my ancestors and with my mate still on the line to maybe get some answers out of them, but that story is for another time.

Hermione looked at me with a shocked expression and sympathy.

"oh alice, I'm sure all of these events have a meaning, and all this power and what she's feeling, it all has a meaning, I'm sure of it." I nodded my head yes.

We got out of the house to see Hiram leaning against the car with a sorry expression plastered on his face, I didn't question it knowing fully well that he had heard our conversation. Not long after the three girls came out of the house and we were headed to pops. Once we got to pops, the old black skinned man looked at us in shock, surprise and happiness.

"Are these three people are who I think they are?"

"Hey pop, long time no see" he flashed us the biggest smile I have ever seen him wear.

"Ali! Hermi and is that Hiram Lodge I see"

"The one and only"

"Ugh you kids, it's been soo long"

"It sure has been pops, it sure has been"

"Are those beautiful three ladies your children?"

"They are, this is Elizabeth, and that is Polina, my two daughters"
