“The portal’s open.” Zaviera said as she looked at Deyanira. The portal was to an alternate reality in which Deyanira, Lieta, Aubrey, Andy nor anyone else on Earth existed—it was where they were sending Deyanira so that she would be unable to harm anyone she knew.

Deyanira sighed, “No, I’m ready.” Deyanira turned towards the portal and took a deep breath. She hesitantly strolled over to the opening in fabric of time and space. She took another deep breath and rested her hand on the edge of the portal. With a quick, “I’ll miss you guys” over her shoulder, Deyanira dived in the portal.

“It’s gone!” Deyanira exclaimed to herself, “The timer is gone!”

“No…” she said to herself, “It can’t be gone!”
