The boys, and Allyson came in and saw Bree on the floor. Matthew ran to his sisters and kneeled down.
"What happened?" He said.
"Mom didn't actually die like we thought. She's here and alive." Elizabeth said. "She was in another dimension that made her look younger. I freed her."
"Wait you did magic!" Carrie said.
"Yeah, I guess I did." Elizabeth said. Charlie walked over and hugged her mother.
"Are you ok?" She asked.
"I'm fine baby." Elizabeth said and hugged her back. "So I guess we're getting these items."
"Wait so what's wrong with her?" Matthew asked.
"She's under a sleeping curse." Alex said. "We need save your dad, so he can wake her."
"I'm guessing once my Bree and your Bree saw each other, mine went back home." Conner said. "So whats the plan?"
"We're all staying here. Conner if we come face to face with our younger selves we'll be sent back. We're here to help them, we can't go back. You four are going."
"Mom why can't we go." Annabelle asked.
"Because, I need you here just in case anything happens. If something happens you have the magic to fix it, and Allyson you have the strength. Plus you guys will be heading into battle, you need to train." Alex said. "You four better go."
"Our ingredients. I left them on the table back home." Elizabeth said. She walked over the book and gave it to Alex.
"Is there a way you can have this book take us home instead of the Fairytale world?"
"I can try." Alex flipped to the end of the book and waved her hand over it, and the beam of light turned a light shade of blue. "Here, now go. Don't worry we'll take care of your mother."
"Thank you. We'll be back as soon as possible." Carrie said. "Wait we'll need objects from the time. Do you have any?"
"Wait that's right. We can't even go through time without other objects from that time." Elizabeth said.
"I think I have what you need. Come with me." Alex said. The group of four followed her. Gabriel went over to Bree and picked her up, and they all went over to a spare bedroom to put her in a more comfortable place.

"So do you have the items we need?" Matthew asked hopeful.
"No, unfortunately. But I have the items to get you there." Alex brought them to her room, and she walked over to a spare closet. "They should be in here. That's where they are in my time."
Alex opened her closet and and inside were six items.
"These items will help you get to them." Alex said. There was the figurine of the Eiffel Tower that her grandmother had given her on her twelfth birthday. Her first wand, and Conner's first sword. A little bit of pixie dust in a vial, and the Evil Queens magic mirror dust that made Alex evil, and Conner's story about their dad.
"These are some momentos I saved from our adventures." Alex said. "I would have my dads journal, but I gave it to my mom. I'm guessing she's not around any more in this time."
"No she's not." Carrie said. "Thank you Alex."
"To make this faster one person should go into each time. So Charlie you go get journal page and the book with the Eiffel Tower and our dads story. Carrie you are going to get the wand and my first wand will get you there, Matthew you are getting the mask and your taking Conner's first sword, Elizabeth you are getting the bark and the pen and you'll be taking the Magic Mirror dust and the Pixie Dust. I'm not sure where the pixie dust will take you but you just need to get a branch, so it's pretty easy."
"I don't feel safe with Charlie going by herself." Elizabeth said.
"I gave you the times you can handle. I gave Charlie the easiest ones, there're not as dangerous. Elizabeth I gave you the bark and the pen because you might have to travel different places within that time. I gave Carrie the wand because she has to use magic to get past some things. Matthew will have to fight to get the mask. The most dangerous one. I have faith you can handle this. There's not a doubt in my mind that you will fail. You have our families blood running through your veins. Make your dad proud."

"Then let's get a move on. We don't have much time." Elizabeth said. "We need the other ingredients."
Alex snapped her fingers and the Land of Stories appeared and she set the book on the floor. She waved her hand and the book started to glow. The group of four went straight through it and ended up back in their living room.
"Look there's the ingredients." Matthew said. He walked over and took the ingredients. Beside them something caught his eye. His cellphone, with over 200 texts from his family.
"Have you got like a million texts as well." Carrie said pulling out her phone. "They keep asking when will we get back."
"Tell them by the end of the week." Elizabeth said. "Hopefully we'll be done by then."
"Have you gotten any texts from Ben?" Carrie asked her sister.
"No. Only from Charlie's school. It doesn't matter, you'll be homeschooled after this anyways." Elizabeth said to Charlie. "Let's go."
All of them then suddenly stopped in their tracks. They heard footsteps coming from upstairs.
"Who could that be?" Matthew asked.
"Who's there?" Elizabeth yelled while holding Charlie tightly.
"Mom!" A voice said.
"Dad!" Another voice said.
"Brighton, Ayden?" Carrie said. The two boys walked downstairs and ran to their parents.
"What are you doing here?" Matthew said as he hugged his son. "Where's your brother?"
"He's at home. I was worried, you've been gone for a while. Brighton and I were curious about what you were doing. Plus you didn't pack any bags. So we knew you weren't taking a trip with grandpa and you obviously aren't."
"Yeah mom what's going on?" Brighton asked.
"We're saving grandpa and the Fairytale world by traveling through time." Charlie said smiling.
"What?" Brighton said. "I'm so confused."
"Apparently everything Grandpa wrote in Fairytaletopia is true. It's based on his life as a kid."
"Are you telling the truth?" Brighton asked his cousin.
"Yeah, do you want to come?" Charlie said.
"Seriously Charlie?" Ayden asked. Charlie nodded her head excitedly. "Yeah I want to go."
"I don't know." Matthew said.
"What why?" Ayden complained.
"Yeah Charlie's going? Brighton stated.
"Yeah. Please can they come. They can help me." Charlie said.
"What do you think?" Elizabeth asked her siblings.
"Ok...but you can't tell anyone. Not even your friends, your brothers or your dads." Carrie said.
"Yay!" The three kids yelled.
The now group of six, went back into the book, and were back in Camelot, but now in the library. Alex and Allyson had set up four backpacks with each item in front of it. Brighton and Ayden looked around at the library in awe. They had never seen a room so big.
"Great your back. I have set everything up...wait who are these two?"
"This is my son Ayden, and Carries son Brighton. We have decided to have them join Charlie in her quest."
"Oh, um ok. Charlie make sure to fill them in. Matthew, put the hair and the leaf on the table. I'm going to duplicate them." Matthew set the hair and the leaf onto the table. Alex snapped her fingers and the hair and the leaf were duplicated 10 times and they were each put in a little vial. She took the vials and put them in the backpacks.
"Whoa, so magic is really real." Brighton said.
"I knew it." Ayden said and smiled.
"There's one set for you to get to your location and another to help you get back. Elizabeth you have another pair to get you to your second location, and same with you kids." Alex said.
"I have these roses from our garden, so you can get back to this time." Allyson said and put the roses in their backpacks.
Charlie, Matthew, Carrie, And Elizabeth grabbed their backpacks. Charlie put Conner's story in her backpack for after they get the journal page, and Elizabeth did the same with the dust. The parents hugged their children goodbye and started the spell. Four portals then appeared.
"Ok, remember to work fast and don't change anything." Alex said. "If you change something even in the slightest, the entire timeline could be ruined."
"Wait so we're really going to travel through time...awesome!" Brighton said. "I'm ready let's go."

I've been writing for as long as I can remember, but I'd always been torn between different projects. That's why I decided to dedicate myself to a pretty strict schedule of writing and editing a single chapter every month since the start of 2019. This is an ongoing, work in progress novel that follows a ragtag group of sellswords as they delve into a lost city on the edge of the known world in search of their fortunes. Within, though, they find much more than they ever expected and find themselves in a race against time to unravel a mystery centuries old. For those who want to see my work months earlier than it will be released here, alongside exclusive artwork and other perks, consider supporting me and my work on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/atlaswrites

10 months. 10 months was enough to numb the pain. Bellamy hated it, hated how the pain lessened because his sister deserved more. She deserved the world, and he couldn't give her it. Bellamy hadn't cried for her yet. He was shoving everything Octavia related into a file in his brain never to be looked at again. He hated himself for it, for trying to forget, but he knew that he would shatter if he tried to sort through it. A part of him had died that day in the backyard, a part of him had died with Lincoln and Octavia in that car crash. Her funeral was the hardest thing he'd ever had to do. Him and Clarke had driven home in silence, and then he'd gotten home and sat on the couch, unable to move, unable to think, too numb to do anything except stare.Woohoo! Another Bellarke story! I'm sorry, these fanfictions just keep coming.
