Second Chances

Repair Spell

Hana was holding a red candle as she lights it. She then sighs:

過去のミノル魔女
あなたを懇願
壊れているものを修復する

Then all the lights in the neighborhood turned back on. Hana turns the TV on then a knock on her door was heard.

Hana walked towards the door and peaks in the pip hole, "What the hell?!" Hana immediately opened the door. "Mrs. Wilder?!" Hana gasped.

The woman looked up Hana, "Hana?" Then her voice came as a panic, "Is Alex alright?! How 'bout Geoffrey?!"

Hana looks at the woman in disbelief, "How are you here?"

"I have no clue, sweetheart." the woman admits, "The last thing I remember was standing up and a person in a white hood cloak told me that I was being called by... you."

Hana sat down and placed her right hand on her forehead, Catherine sat down beside Hana, "I take it you didn't mean to..."

Hana shook her head and stood up, "I'll fix this... Lemme call my mom." Hana went to her bedroom and dialed Tina's number, Ring! Ring! Ring!

"Hello?" Tina's groggy voice asked.

"Mom!" Hana gasped, "Thank God, you picked up!"

Tina sat up in bed, "Hana? It's 3:30 am, why you calling?"

"I need you, mom." Hana sighs, "Mrs. Wilder's here..."

"Tamar?" Tina asked.

"No, Mrs. Catherine Wilder is in my living room, right now." Hana explained, "Mom, I need you, please, come over."

Tina pulled off the blanket, "Fine, I'll be there in a few." Tina turns to the sleeping form of her husband, "Robert?" Tina asked. "Robert, you need to wake up. Our daughter's freaking out." Tina shook Robert awake.

"Nico freaks out a lot," Robert mumbled, "everything's fine, come back to bed."

Tina sighs, "Not Nico, Hana's freaking out."

That immediately caught Robert's attention, as he bolted out of bed, "What? Hana's freaking out, about what?"

"Tell you on the way." Tina sighs, "I'm gonna go get Nico..." Tina ran towards her youngest daughter's bedroom, "Nico! Come on your sister's in trouble!"

Nico looks up at her mother, "What else is new?"

"Huh?" Tina asked.

"Hana's always in trouble..." Nico explained. "Wait a minute, she called you?!" Nico realized, "Shit! The world must be ending."

"Just get dress and bring the staff." Tina ordered.

Nico fought the urged to salute her mother and just nodded.

Five minutes of full speed driving that by the time Robert parked the car, Nico threw herself to the pavement. "Thank God!"

Tina looks at her daughter and shook her head, "Come along, Nico."

Nico stood up and followed her parents to the front desk.

Hana opened her front door, "You look horrible..."

"Try being woken up at 3:30 am; then with dad zipping through every stop light, while mom yells, 'Faster! Faster!'" Nico looks up to see her sister stifling a laugh, "Get your mind out of the gutter, that's disgusting."

Hana looks at her sister, "Gross, I wasn't even thinking about that... I was thinking about how many traffic violations dad broke..."

"A lot," Nico bent her neck to the left, "Anyways, I feel like puking; can I please use your bathroom?"

Hana nodded, as Nico ran to the bathroom and vomited. Tina and Robert walked in the apartment. Tina immediately caught the woman wearing a navy pantsuit sitting on Hana's white leather couch. "Catherine?" Tina asked.

Catherine turns around, "Tina. Robert."

"How is this possible?" Robert questioned.

Hana grabbed the big leather book on glass her dining table. "I used this spell..."

"Your power is life," Tina explained, "so by uttering the Repair Spell it caused the repairing of Catherine's soul..."

Hana looks at her mother, "What?"

"But it only works if the soul wants to comeback... maybe that's why Amy wasn't the one who was brought back?" Tina sighed, as a tear slipped out of her eye.

"Consequences?" Hana wonders.

Tina looks at her daughter and in a monotoned voice she said, "A life for a life..."

Robert looked at his daughter then at his wife, "There has to be another way..."

Tina shook her head, "I'm really sorry, but it's either you pay the price or Catherine dies."

Nico came out of the bathroom, "Why not strike a bargain? She stays for- let's say a month- just enough time to get rid of Tamar..."

"What do you have against Tamar?" Tina asked.

"Mom," Hana sighs, "Tamar Davis orchestrated Mrs. Wilder's prison death..."

"What?!" Robert demanded, "How long have you known?!"

"When I ranaway, I called an old friend that now is a defense attorney and asked about the vicious murder." Hana explained.

"So?" Nico asked.

"I can't just keep her here for that reason..." Hana admits.

"Why?" Nico questioned. "I mean it gets rid of the woman who is the sole reason why Alex's mom is dead. It's justice."

"It's revenge." Hana corrected, "And trust me revenge might make you feel good for a moment but that bliss won't last... and soon you'll just feel horrible for what you did. So, unless Mrs. Wilder agrees I wouldn't do it..."
