I'll protect you (S1 Ep.11-8)

In just over ten minutes Joan had arrived to the Ancient Library and there already was Mikhael…

Seth: Joan, how are you?

Joan: You were right Mikhael, I'm not in control. - Addressed to her grimoire. - To see them so fragile I realized I would never do anything to hurt them, how could I be so blind...

Seth: You still have much to learn, but don't worry, their lives are connected to Anastacia’s, only their bodies are weakened. You know what you have to do!

Joan: With those two at loose with the witch, this is my biggest concern. I couldn't bear to lose them. If anything happens to Rose... No, I don't want to even think about it! And... And if it had the same effect on Kat. Rose will be heartbroken!

Seth: You linked the stone to its guardian. He absorbed its energy, although briefly, was probably enough to protect him from the effects of your actions!

Joan: That’s it... I'm going to save them! We move today.

Seth: Rebecca, don’t act on the impulse.

Joan: No, my brother. – With the eyes in tears, remembering the state of the girls, lying, without reaction, continued. - I have done this and I'm going to fix it! Here's what I need. - Closed the book and went to the vault. Opened it with a spell. Elevated three of five stones, there present. - Mikhael, I need you, I need you to help me save them!

With Rebecca’s tears, Mikhael, saw again the sweetness in his sister, with her humble words, the hope that Rebecca would become once more the Great White Witch, invaded him.

Seth: I will be by your side always, Rebecca. Don't cry, you're making the right decision, you protect them.

The words of Mikhael, gave a sense of relief to Joan, because, until now, everything she felt, coming from him, were accusations of immaturity, of abuse of her condition, her wisdom. He was the only one who knew her secret, he was the only one with who she could be true.

Upon arrival at the hospital…

Joan: Are you ready?

Seth: Yes! - Reaching out his hand to Joan continued... - And you?

Joan's eyes revealed uncertainty. Never, in her memoirs, remember to perform a spell so powerful, being just an apprentice, but the lives of her best friends were in her hand and she was able to give her own life to save them. Grabbed the hand of Mikhael and continued.

Joan: Time Guardian, by hope in Life, by the Eternal love I pray to you a moment! - A white light, pure, sparkled between both hands. - Invisibilia!

Both were now hidden from our senses. Passed through the corridors of the Hospital without any trace of their presence.

Monic was back to the room with Sofie and Dianne. Connected to machines, the beep of their heartbeat was weak, the vision of their inanimate bodies was devastating.

Joan did appear the three magical stones, bringing each one of them in front of the girls. The blue-navy before Sofie, the green-earth before Monic and the blue-sky before Dianne. As separately the stones approached the girls, a crown, in respectively, was developing its appearance... Until they were suspended over their heads, with their full forms.

The cardiac signal of all three grew and continued to increase, that's when Joan started...

Joan: TIME! – Everything seemed to stagnate, stopped in time. - Guardians asleep, fearless guardians, I beg you energy, I beg you life, I beseech protection, guide me on this MISSION…

From each gem, energy flowed towards Joan. She absorbed their essences, the pure energy of their true forms.

Joan: TIME!

With the return of time to its normality, Joan, Mikhael and the crowns were gone.

Rose: Wow… Did you feel this?

Charlie: I have my mouth tasting like salt!

Miguel: Are you well?

Rose: Mario?! – Mario was smiling, completely focused on the girls.

Mario: The girls ... The girls are waking up!

We get up and followed Mario, who, upon seeing Dianne awakening, did not controlled himself and entered the room.

Mario: Dianne, don't stress, don't try to talk. - Touch the signal to call the doctor and with a concerned smile continued. - You are in the hospital, but it's going to be okay! Now, it's going to be okay!

Rose: I’m going to call your parents!

Dianne looked at me intensely. To see me leave her eyes followed me until I disappear by the corner of the window. With the realize that Monic and Sofie were connected to the machines, she realized that this was also her condition. With some effort in moving the right hand, she managed to reach the oxygen mask…

Dianne: Anastacia… Anastacia is in danger...

Dropping the mask, she fell asleep. Mario quickly caught it and put it in Dianne.

Mario: Dianne, Dianne!

Miguel: Calm down my friend, was the effort. She is recovering, believe me, she'll be fine.

Mario: Anastacia?! Who is Anastacia?
