Genie Tales-The Nightmare Returns

Chapter 6

Later that evening around 8:00 pm, Kate had got the kids in bed. "I'm going to bed too." Kate said. "Are you sure? It's still super early." Tyler asked, surprised. "I'm sure and I'm feeling more tired and upset today." Kate left upstairs. "I'll join you in a few hours." Tyler kissed her forehead making her weakly smile before leaving upstairs. Tyler grabbed the phone and called Seth. "Hey, one moment. Liliana is being troublesome." Seth put the phone down. "Okay," Tyler acknowledged. "This is the Tcat, calling Seth and Missouri. Meet me at rendezvous Beta," Tyler spoke, and they heard it somehow.

About half an hour later, the three of them were at that point. "So what has changed for sure for you?" Missouri asked Tyler. "No magic, no nothing. Also, my wife is more depressed, and I have no idea what to do. What now?" he said with a heavy heart. "We take the TARDIS. Stop us from saving her that way and do the potion, and give to her sometime after the events of her getting cursed," Seth said. "I will offer myself as the sacrifice, then," Tyler declared, weary of pain. "No, Lily will be heartbroken. What about Melody and Vivian Rose?" Missouri suggested. "Netty Brown?" Seth suggested. "Guys, I cannot choose this. You two must decide for me. I don't like to kill or sacrifice people," Tyler protested, then walked into the TARDIS. The two whispered amongst themselves. "Oh my god!!!" Missouri shrieked in surprise. "I'm sorry," Seth answered. "Let's do this, then," Missouri mournfully agreed. "Again, I'm sorry," Seth said as the two entered the TARDIS. "Have the two of you decided?" Tyler asked, strangely diplomatically. "Go fifteen years ago," Missouri said. "I'll get take care of the rest," Seth answered. "Ok, now you're worrying me. What are you two thinking about or planning, exactly?" Tyler said. "Just focus, Tyler." Missouri smiled sweetly. "A-alright, I'll do it. Here we go!" Tyler stuttered, and flipped the lever. The three landed 15 years in the past and in their original timeline. "I'll be back in half an hour. You two stay outta sight," Seth instructed before leaving.

"Now what?" Missouri asked Tyler. "I don't know... Seth's worrying me more now," Tyler said, defeated. "Not me, I know the plan and why he must do it alone. Trust us, please." Missouri smiled. "Not happening. Not until you tell me of this plan, now," Tyler demanded, and she paled. "Basically, Netty has to be sacrificed by Seth to save Lee. It's her destiny. In our present that we knew, Netty was just killed by another timeline version of Seth," Missouri answered. "As messed up as that sounds, how old is she, and how powerful is Netty? See the point?" Tyler shot back bitterly. "Netty is 24 here like Lee is at this point of time and has no magic but is a strong individual and knows this will happen someday," Missouri explained. His face dark with fury, he turned away. "Are you okay?" Missouri asked carefully. "N-no... How can I be?" he asked rhetorically. "We figured this out, I get you're freaked out. You want everything to be okay, right?" Missouri asked him. "But the way that this has to happen... How?" Tyler asked with his voice trembling. "Everyone born in this dimension with a pre-written role to play. Mine is continuing the Red-Riding Hood Legacy. Netty's is to be traded with Maleficent or the Evil Queen and from there, become the next one in that Legacy," Missouri explained deeper. "What is my role, then?" Tyler asked, now cautious. "You don't have a pre-written one. You get to write your own," Missouri smiled. "Wait. How does that work? Is it because of...?" Tyler murmured. "You weren't born in this dimension, so you don't have a pre-written role like us and Lee. But there's a prophecy about you and Lee!" Missouri smiled. "A prophecy, you say?"

"Yes, a prophecy. Did you mishear me?" Missouri said jokingly. "Can I hear this prophecy?" Tyler inquired. "It states that 'A Sun Wizard by the name of Tyler and a genie-witch by the name of Kate will destroy the curse on this dimension with pre-written roles and then the rightful rulers will gain power'. It's said no one knows who the rightful ruler is, except they live as common folks right now and caught in the curse. Once freed, they will know it's them and their family will gain royal status," Missouri said blankly like she was rereading a scroll or paper, which she technically was. "Fine...Hey, Seth!" Tyler cried happily when Seth walked in, then became somber again. "Things should be restored." Seth smiled. "Awesome!" Missouri smiled. "Alright then. Let's get the hell out of here!" Tyler cried as he flipped the lever, ensuring that the three were within a protective shield as before. Like last time, the TARDIS bucked and shuddered, as time was being rewritten; thankfully, nobody went flying. They landed in the same spot in present. "So Lily should still be out cold. We pour this portion on her and someone, probably Tyler, washes it off her." Seth held up a formula of a pukey brown-green colour. "That looks nasty." Missouri gagged. "It smells worse." Seth gagged too as he opened up the jar containing the potion. "Are you sure this is the right stuff and not some sick joke?" Tyler choked upon smelling. "Ya, I helped make it," Seth answered. "I think I'm going to be sick. I'm going home." Missouri teleported away. "Good luck Tyler," Seth said. "So are you leaving too?" Tyler asked. "I need to talk to Lenora and fill her in on what happened." Seth said. "Alright, see ya!" Tyler waved as Seth teleported away. Tyler closed the jar to avoid smelling the awful potion.
