Krill raised an eyeshade, "A backfired spell, eh? You expect me to believe that?"
~~~~~
Ebony and EJ were closing in on the town. The Viper could pick up voices coming from the diner.

"Do you really think we would have just up and left," Phoenix said. "Me and your mom made plans to let me pick you up from school after we had our lunch at the backyard."

"That never happened," replied Krill, "It was Dad who came to pick us up. When we came back to find that you and Mom were gone, we just thought that you both had something to do out of town, but when hours turned into days and days into weeks and so on that was when we realized that you had gone missing without a trace. That hurt alot."
~~~~~
Ebony slowed down as she heard her son's angry voice and stopped short of the fence that was behind the diner so that she could listen in. She didn't want to reveal herself now, as she felt somewhat afraid of what she might encounter.
It is all my fault... she thought sadly.

"We realize that Krill," Phoenix said. "We never wanted to let you grow up without a parent. I especially know how it was without my parents. They couldn't come back. We come back and see that you are all grown up and moved on. How do you think your mother feels about missing everything."

"We had no choice," answered Krill coldly, "And Mom, wherever she is, should feel guilty for deserting us!"
~~~~~
When she heard that, Ebony started to withdraw into herself again. Everything was her fault. It was always her fault. She held back her tears, though, and wondered how Phoenix was going to get Krill turned around to listen.

Phoenix narrowed her eyes at her nephew as she pulled closer, pale blue eyes flashing. "Krill Sanders you listen here; you think we had a choice of going on with the spell, we didn't. Do you know who she thought of every night before she went to sleep when we were in time limbo, every time we jumped, and every time we ended in another time. She thought of you and Mave. This was no ones fault with what happened. Especially you Krill..."

Krill blinked in surprise and felt a little intimidated. "What? Time-jumping? What do you mean by that?"
~~~~~
Ebony stayed where she was and would only come out when she would be told that it would be okay.

"They day we left was because someone tried a time spell and we got caught up in it," Phoenix said. "Ever since then we've all been trying to get back home after trying over and over again."

"But the fact that you keep trying over and over again is because you haven't found a solution yet," Krill pointed out, "I only know a bit about magic from watching Mave."

"Yes," Phoenix nodded. "But now we have her and she thinks she knows what the problem is. We can go and make sure that none of this never happened. We can go back home."

"Well, she would know what to do in such a situation," agreed Krill, "So, what about Mom? Where is she?"

"Behind you," Phoenix said gesturing towards the fence. "She's been listening to everything we've said."

Krill suddenly felt very guilty. He hadn't realized that his mother had been listening in and could vaguely recall how sensative she was to any kind of accusation.
"I've got to talk to her," he said suddenly, "and.. apologize..."

"Go for it," Phoenix said. "This is something you both need."

Krill nodded and pulled out of his stall and headed over to this fence. As he came around the side he saw Ebony leaning dejectedly against the side of the fence.
"Mom...?" he asked as he pulled up to her, trying to sound as calm as he could so as to not startle her.
Ebony looked up and swallowed as she saw Krill. She gave a fightened little yelp and tried to pull back. Krill was quick and blocked her escape.
"No, please, don't run, Mom," said Krill, "I didn't mean to upset you so much. I'm sorry."
Ebony paused and opened one emerald green eye to stare into her son's amber ones. "Y-you are...? But I... left you and Mave without a mother... I should be the one who's sorry..."
Krill should his front, "No... it's not your fault. Never was. You had no control over what happened and I... Well, I don't blame you for it... I love you, Mom..."
Tears began to flow from her eyes as Ebony listened to her son. "I love you, too, Kril..." she tried to hold back her tears and pulled Krill into a snugging, which the grown-up tuner didn't mind at all.
