Sure I will get that that done. The blue haired girl had gathered the candles and began to place them carefully in a circle around the room. She was sure that this had to be set up perfectly so that nothing would go wrong. So the young woman made sure that every candle was evenly spaced apart. She could feel herself getting more excited by the minute. Okay, now to light the candles.

Ishtar quickly moved around and light the candles each in turn, Please feel free to start the incantation when I'm finished. I trust you to perform the ritual. This is going to be so cool.

She read the incantation to herself as Ishtar set up the candles. Then as she finished she beckoned Ishtar into the ring. "Now concentrate, I need what mana you can supply. Focus on me, my thoughts and trying to perceive them. Here we go. Hamanais, klato veni ..." she began to read from the tome.

Supplying her own mana to the casting as she focused on matters at hand. As she read though Ishtara felt no different, nothing was happening though that had been because Aegir was playing with Linda's mind and causing her to mispronounce things.

Still he acted, issuing forth an illlusion, the scenery changed around the pair, the walls and pictures there vanished replaced by the yellow wallpaper with the flower pattern on it. A bed materialized and other furnishings. Her old bedroom ... it took a moment to realize this but it was. Then, quite suddenly, a phone began to ring.

There was a cordless one on her bed that was now going off.

Okay. I just have to focus my mana on your thoughts. I will do my best. Ishtar walked over to next Linda and slowly began to try to draw her mana. The blue haired girl concentrated on her green haired friend's words as she try to focus on her thoughts. The words echoed in the young woman's head as she could feel her her mana began to flow through her and on to Linda. Ishtar closed her eyes to enable her to focus on Linda's words and thoughts as the incanations continued...

It was only after a few moments that Ishtar opened her eyes to see what was going on. Immediately the blue haired girl new something was wrong, the room was completely different. The room was covered in yellow wallpaper in a sunflower motif. This looks like my old bedroom.....wait a minute it is my old bedroom. What in the world just happened? It was then that her cordless phone on the bed rang, making the young woman jump in shock. She looked over at Linda briefly in confusion, before picking up the phone. Mushi, Mushi?

"Get you're lazy ass out of bed girlfriend," the voice was familiar to her, Nina from her old occult club but Nina was ....

"We've been waiting on you for half an hour at the old boat house down by the pier incase you happened to crawl out from beneath those blankets and thought we were meeting at Crystal's house today." Crystal, also killed on that fateful day long ago.

Linda waited and listened as she glanced at Ishtar in silence as if trying to decipher what was going on here.

N-nina? Is that you? We are meeting at the old boat house? Ishtar could believe her ears. It was Nina on the phone, Ishtar had not seen Nina since that the incident, the period she couldn't remember at all. It was like she had gone back in time, the time before the incident. Okay, let me get ready and I'll be there shortly. Ishtar held up her finger at Linda to show she would explain what was going after she was done on the phone.

Patiently Linda waited for some sort of explanation as she pieced together what happened. Nina. Something about a boat house. A meeting?

"Yeah, you now the place that Brenda brought us to a few times. We've been doing little things to pass the time while waiting for you but I think the others in the coven want to move on to something a bit more juicer but want everyone present for it, we'll need everyone for it."

Um, okay. I'll be right over as soon as I get the opportunity to get ready. I will see you there. Ishtar had the look at shock on her face, she couldn't believe what had happened. Unsure what to do she still couldn't just hang up. Instead she put her hand over the microphone so she could talk to Linda, I-I don't know what happened, but we seemed to traveled back in time. We are back at my old school. This is all just to weird.

"Time travel? That doesn't make any sense. The incantation was in no way similar to such a spell and I wouldn't even know how to do it anyway." Linda pondered matters, she could be in denial all she wanted though the truth seemed evident enough to Ishtar though it was her past that they revisited not hers which made it a bit harder to grasp for her.

I don't understand either, but I don't have any other way of explaining it. It was her room, it was her old friends, it was her old life. We did some how traveled through time. We are going to need to figure out someway to get back, but right now we are stuck here, Linda. Ishtar did think it was weird that it teleport them back to her past and not Linda, but some how fate had conspired against the two to send them back to Ishtar's past.

"Then I'll see you in a bit."

Nina hung up leaving the two to ponder what had just happened. Why they had been here and how. Linda frowned as she turned over matters in her head. "Maybe since you were focusing your mana the backlash targeted you more drawing you here. Of course we're left to figure out how this all occurred based off of a simple incantation. I don't think that we'll figure that out.

"Next we have to consider how to get back. Do we have do something specific or invoke another ritual? I have no experience with time travel and don't suppose that you do."

Ishtar shook her head no, Unfortunately, I don't have the slightest clue on how to get us back. My experience with rituals are rather limited. Ishtar then thought of her conversation with Nina. However, I do have friends who are pretty experienced. Perhaps they know of a way to get us back. In fact, they are meeting an old pier even as we speak. If we go now, they might be able to provide some help. Ishtar wasn't sure if they would be help out, but maybe she could at least warn them about that incident...

"Yeah, that's a good idea. Maybe one of them has some knowledge about it or in the least can point out a book that they read about it. I have no other ideas as to what we should do so that is a start at least."

But what did she hope to warn Nina of since she did not quiet remember about what. She had no recollection of what blanked her memory, if it had been something she witnessed or trauma. But Linda did not give her much time to ponder since she was already going towards the door.

"The pier? How far away is that?" She questioned a hand resting on the door knob getting an answer before she threw it opened, orientated herself to the house and began heading towards what she perceived as the front door.

Um, it's not to far away, we can get there walking. Wait up and I lead the way, I know where it is. And for the first time in a long while, Ishtar knew exactly how to get there. She hadn't even been there before, she had just heard from Crystal on how to get there one day. But all this occured before the event, before she had her memories problems that still plague her today. She didn't even know the exact details that of what caused it, only that it did happen. I hope we can get some answers of what to do. Ishtar quickly followed her friend out the front door as began to walk to the old boat house.

Linda fell slightly behind her as she let Ishtar lead the way, She nodded in response to what she heard. "I hope so as well though I suppose we could try to find alternative ways if this pans out."

Before long they arrived at the boat house. Lit candles were set up in a circle about the room and a pentagram written in pig's blood was on the floor. A few girls were present; Nina and Crystal along with Sarah, Becca and Mildred,

"It's about time," Milly said as her arms crossed her chest underneath her breasts, eyes rolled over to Linda. "Whose this?"

Oh this? This is my friend Linda. She is also interested in the occult so I invited her with me. I hope you don't mind. Ishtar remembered that she was the new girl in the coven and had the least experience with it. She wasn't sure what the other girls would think about her bring a friend. Hopefully they wouldn't have too much of a problem with her. They looked like they were ready to start a ritual so they probably didn't want to wait. So it looks like you are ready to start something?
