When the amulet was ready, Mary slipped back into the clearing. She was able to sneak behind Jo and grabbed her mother before those in control of Jo could react. She got the necklace around her neck and said a few words in Latin. Jo struggled at first and then went slack.
Mary knelt and helped her mother to the ground. She was unconscious for now, but that was a sign that it was actually working. She hurried over to her dad and started to untie him.
"You okay?" she asked, once she checked to see if he was awake or not.
