Brooke looked at the coven and Tilly, "Tilly!" She shouted.

Rogers looked at Tilly, "Tilly! Tilly!" Rogers shouted.

The mesmerised desk sergeant stood by them, "It's too late, detective," He said.

"What too late? What's happening?" Rogers asked and they watched as one of the witches began shaking and disappeared, "What the bloody hell was that?"

"She's been gifted," The desk sergeant said as the witch that disappeared turned into a small tree, "When a member has completed her task given all that she has, she is rewarded with a place in the Eternal Grove," The desk sergeant told him.

"What about you? Will you be rewarded as handsomely?" Brooke asked him.

"They are the chosen one. I will be spared but not rewarded," The desk sergeant sighed, "But you two will find the worst..." The desk sergeant said and turned to see both Brooke and Rogers gone, all that was left behind was Rogers fake hand.

Brooke was behind him and punched the sergeant unconscious.

Brooke looked to see Rogers by Tilly, "Tilly, we have to get out of here now before that witch comes back," Rogers said.

"No, I can't do that. I have to be with mother," Tilly said.

"The hell you are," Rogers said and went to pull Tilly away but he got pushed back as Tilly was magically locked into the ritual.

"Rogers!" Brooke ran to him, "No," She went on her knees.

Rogers grabbed his chest as he felt a sharp pain, "What the hell?" He groaned as Brooke sat him up, "Tilly, what are you doing? I don't know what's happening," Rogers looked at Brooke.

"I know but we have to get out of here, I can't do anything without my magic," Brooke said and stood up, helping him up, "Here," She put his arm over her shoulders.

"But Tilly..." Rogers said.

"We'll come back for her, we aren't leaving her for long," Brooke said.

Rogers looked at Tilly, "We'll come back for you, we will save you," He said and they slowly walked away.

They got outside the theatre and went to his car, "What do we need to do?" Rogers asked.

"We need to talk to an old friend... If he's still talking to me after I abandoned him," Brooke said taking his car keys, she unlocked Rogers car, "I'm driving," She said and helped him into the passenger seat and got into the driver's seat.

"I don't understand what's going on... Sofia, what's happening?" Rogers looked at her.

Brooke started the engine and sighed, "Okay, you want to know?" She looked at him, "A God damn war like Drew told you," She drove away from the theatre.

Flashback

Outside Regina's house, Henry was checking the engine of his car, that Regina had given him her car on the last first day of high school.

Granny and August walked over to him, "Stop, you're stripping the threads," Granny said.

"Cocoa," August said and handed Henry a takeaway cup with a smile.

"Sorry Granny, thank you, August," Henry took the takeaway cup.

Granny looked at Henry, "Look kid, I'm happy to let you borrow my tools, but you got to respect the machine. This is vintage Curse-Era Classic," Granny looked at August, "I thought you were teaching me."

"I am but we need cocoa... I've been around your aunt and mom too much," August commented.

"Hey, you feel in love with my mom, now you are cursed with the love of cocoa and cinnamon," Henry said.
