"There's a reason for your choice. I know a sacrifice is necessary for the ritual to work, but I saw you when Victor first knocked on the door. You know I'm not a fool."
"No, you aren't, and I wish it hadn't been them, but someone with new magic was always going to knock on the door."

"No, you aren't, and I wish it hadn't been them, but someone with new magic was always going to knock on the door."
"Anne always connected more with our parents through the lifetimes."
"You kept your distance, the way you did when you were younger."
"For me it's easier, because something I have to make hard choices, for her."
"Like with the Fitzgeralds?"
"Anne always connected more with our parents through the lifetimes."
"You kept your distance, the way you did when you were younger."
"For me it's easier, because something I have to make hard choices, for her."
"Like with the Fitzgeralds?"
"Regaining her memories hasn't been easy, and it's not just one life, Mother. We've been together a long time."
"How did you still have them if she didn't?"
"I needed to protect her. Now we're days away from the ritual she they're necessary." Titus studied Marion. "She's still your Anne."
"Regaining her memories hasn't been easy, and it's not just one life, Mother. We've been together a long time."
"How did you still have them if she didn't?"
"I needed to protect her. Now we're days away from the ritual she they're necessary." Titus studied Marion. "She's still your Anne."
"Possibly. It's her decision to make." Titus shrugged. "She might not even tell you about her memories returning, and if she doesn't then it would probably be best not to bring it up."
"You're asking me to lie to my daughter?"
"No, I'm asking you to be gentle with her."
"Possibly. It's her decision to make." Titus shrugged. "She might not even tell you about her memories returning, and if she doesn't then it would probably be best not to bring it up."
"You're asking me to lie to my daughter?"
"No, I'm asking you to be gentle with her."
"How?"
"The ritual, because it was the last time we saw each other." With a sigh, looking down for a second, Titus shook his head. "It's not a story I want to tell."
"You know I'd be willing to listen."
"Of course I do, but... honestly, I know all about mistakes."
"How?"
"The ritual, because it was the last time we saw each other." With a sigh, looking down for a second, Titus shook his head. "It's not a story I want to tell."
"You know I'd be willing to listen."
"Of course I do, but... honestly, I know all about mistakes."
Looking a little closer than before, able to see the scar her choice left, Titus nodded. "That's normal, Mother."
"Mother again?"
"What would you prefer? In this life you are my mother. Anne cares deeply about you, and that's not going to change."
"Does she remember?"

"Mother again?"
"What would you prefer? In this life you are my mother. Anne cares deeply about you, and that's not going to change."
"Does she remember?"
"Then I'd do it."
"How much danger are we in?"
"None, Marion. You're Lockwoods." All Titus could do was hope Marion didn't hear the lies the way Anne would have done. Then he always had to be more careful. "Gregor didn't know what he was doing. You made the right choice."
"Then I'd do it."
"How much danger are we in?"
"None, Marion. You're Lockwoods." All Titus could do was hope Marion didn't hear the lies the way Anne would have done. Then he always had to be more careful. "Gregor didn't know what he was doing. You made the right choice."
"From a journal no one should ever have found, and I don't know how he did. I could look into the past to see, but there was no reason for me to, because I can't change it."

"Are you?" Marion looked down. "None of us matter to you, do we?"
"Hurting people isn't something I enjoy, Marion, but I made a promise a very long time ago that led me down a path I didn't understand was inevitable at the time. Those are words I truly mean. I am sorry."

"Not going to happen, because this isn't about you. It never has been." Titus regained control of his anger. "My focus is Anne."
"So Isaac was right?"
"You didn't want him to be, did you?"
Marion bit down on her bottom lip. "You're my son, Titus."
"Not going to happen, because this isn't about you. It never has been." Titus regained control of his anger. "My focus is Anne."
"So Isaac was right?"
"You didn't want him to be, did you?"
Marion bit down on her bottom lip. "You're my son, Titus."
Marion sighed. "I don't love him. He knows that. Thaddeus loves me. Sometimes I feel guilty he chose me when I'm probably never going to feel the same way, and immorality, should the ritual work, only makes things more complicated. We all make mistakes, Titus."
"What do you want?"
Marion sighed. "I don't love him. He knows that. Thaddeus loves me. Sometimes I feel guilty he chose me when I'm probably never going to feel the same way, and immorality, should the ritual work, only makes things more complicated. We all make mistakes, Titus."
"What do you want?"
"A Lockwood to free you from the future Gregor wanted for you, only it didn't work out quite the way you hoped it would."
"My choice doesn't mean I don't care." Fortunately Thaddeus knew that, even if Titus did tell him. "I was young, and, yes, saw Thaddeus as a way out."
"A Lockwood to free you from the future Gregor wanted for you, only it didn't work out quite the way you hoped it would."
"My choice doesn't mean I don't care." Fortunately Thaddeus knew that, even if Titus did tell him. "I was young, and, yes, saw Thaddeus as a way out."
"Pretending you care about him, Mother?"
"I do care." Marion glared at Titus, and he felt his own anger spike. "You have no right to judge my choices."
"Oh, I have every right, because I know why you chose Father in the first place. He doesn't."
"Pretending you care about him, Mother?"
"I do care." Marion glared at Titus, and he felt his own anger spike. "You have no right to judge my choices."
"Oh, I have every right, because I know why you chose Father in the first place. He doesn't."
"Yes, well, he never stopped to think for a second about why I was doing this, and he doesn't care."
"Yes, well, he never stopped to think for a second about why I was doing this, and he doesn't care."
Titus cared, but more because he needed Thaddeus with him, and that wouldn't happen if Marion walked away. "How about I be honest with you? Will that help?"
Silence followed his questions, as Marion stared at him. Accepting the offer wouldn't be easy for her.

A smile touched his lips, which only strengthened Marion's anger. "I know what I'm doing."
"That might have been how you convinced your father to go along with this, but it's not going to be that easy with me."
"Of course it's not."

"Mother."
At first she didn't say anything, still focused on the circle, but then she turned.
