Chapter Twenty-Three

They had gone down to the beach. The girls spread out the large white candles in the manner that Brian had instructed.

"No matter what happens. No one. And I mean no one. Leaves this circle," Brian told them looking them one by one in the face. They nodded.

"Tony, lie down in the center," Brian told him leading him to the center.

"I'm going too," Trey said.

"You won't," Tony told him.

"Papi, no," Isabella cried grabbing his arm, tears falling down her face.

"I have to fix this," Trey said wiping her tears.

"You didn't do this, Trey. I did," Tony said.

"You might need help," Trey called to him as Tony took the center of the pentagram they were making with their bodies as Brian positioned each of them.

"Sarah, Sam, and Emily in the center," Brian said pulling them in.

"But the pentagram?" Sam asked confused.

"You are the center. The rest of us are the points. You will form a circle joining hands around Tony and Trey."

Trey looked at him and nodded.

"He's staying," Tony said.

"He's a part of this. He needs to go back. To understand."

"He was six!"

"He won't be when he goes back."

"Do you know that for sure?"

"No," Brian said looking away at the ocean.

"It's my decision. I'm going back," Trey said lying down on the ground in the center.

"Demetrio."

"You're not changing my mind. Brian, do it."

"Let's do it then," Brian said with a sigh. "Start now," he said taking his position.

"Earth," George said running sand through his hands.

Raven lit the candles around them. "Fire."

"Water," Ray said poured water from a bowl in front of him

"Air," Jake said.

"Elements of being we call upon thee. Send your brothers back in time. To the time their hearts desire to ease their pain. We ask thee to give them the time they need and send them back safely to us," Brian said from his place in the pentagram. He nodded at Emily.

Emily lifted her hands and raised them out to her sisters. They looked at her nervously and she nodded at them. They lifted their hands and they linked together. A lightening bolt struck the center of the pentagram sending a blinding light. When they gained back their sight, Trey and Tony were gone.
