A/N: Hello everyone this is my second main multiple chapter story and this is completely different from anything else I have ever done. This story is set in the 2017 series universe and I got the idea for this story from the Mists Of Time episode. I thought it would be interesting if we had seen Hecate when she was younger too. I hope you all enjoy and please review.

An Journey Through Time

Chapter One

It was an few weeks into Mildred Hubble's second year at Cackle's Academy and Mildred was glad to be back at school with her friends Maud Spellbody and Enid Nightshade. After she saved the school last year from Agatha Cackle and Miss Gullet her expulsion had been dropped although her potions teacher seemed to have forgotten that over the summer as she was still being hard on the girl although Mildred did not expect her to turn into an lovely, kind, caring teacher because that would be way to weird. Mildred had left lunch early not feeling hungry and wanting an little time alone.

Her friends did not always understand how it felt to be discriminated against for not having an magical family. It was not her fault that she was so behind everyone else in her studies. As her mother had been reading her fairytales like Sleeping Beauty her friends had been told stories about powerful witches that had saved the world. As Mildred had been baking cupcakes and biscuits her friends were learning how to make potions. Mildred hated feeling like it was her fault for not knowing the basics. Sometimes the girl honestly felt like she was living in an different country and everyone around her was speaking an foreign language and she did not understand an word of it. Sometimes Mildred thought she was crazy to attend an school where she knew nothing about the world but there was good things about the school too and she couldn't bring herself to leave.

Mildred walked down the corridor to her bedroom wanting to cuddle down with her cat, Tabby. She felt like the animal was sometimes the only one to understand her as the cat had to deal with being discriminated against too because he wasn't an standard black witches cat. Mildred threw open her bedroom door ready to fling herself onto her bed only she realised her beloved cat was not anywhere in the room.

"Oh no Tabby not again" the girl said to herself as she turned back around and started to run down the corridor.

Unfortunately the cat was very much like Mildred herself. The cat had an habit of leaving Mildred's bedroom which is very well as the cats are allowed to wander around the castle but Tabby always got into something he wasn't supposed to get into and it normally got Mildred into trouble.

That is how Mildred found herself running around the castle during an lunchtime when everyone was still eating. She whispered the cats name every few steps she took. She looked all around the castle looking for the familiar grey striped cat that stood out from the other black ones.

"Tabby where are you?" Mildred said as she tried to remain quiet, the last thing she needed was Miss Hardbroom to hear her and to receive another detention. As she was walking down the corridor where her chanting class takes place she noticed the door to an storeroom was half opened.

This was unusual. There doors were usually always locked and Mildred knew an teacher like Miss Hardbroom would make sure she closed the door if she had to of gone in there. Mildred looked around to make sure the corridor was still clear and then pushed opened the door.

"Tabby there you are" Mildred said as she spotted her cat sitting on the floor of the storeroom. The whole room was an mess, Tabby had clearly knocked an lot of stuff of the shelves.

"Tabby look at this mess" Mildred said as she stood over an box to reach her cat before she picked him up.

"Come on, let's get out of here before HB arrives" Mildred told her cat as she stroked his head.

"Too late" someone said. Mildred looked up fearing the worse as an blonde haired girl walked into the room.

Ethel Hallow. The girl was an perfectionist and stuck up. She always made Mildred feel like she was useless and was always finding ways to get her into trouble. Mildred actually really liked Ethel's older sister, Esmeralda Hallow, who was the complete opposite from her sister and Mildred still sometimes was amazed the two girls were related. Mildred, in an way did feel sorry for the girl as she was clearly suffering from an lack of affection as her parents pretended most of the time she didn't exist but it was not Mildred's fault she had an loving mother.

"Ethel? Were you following me?" Mildred asked annoyed.

"I heard you calling for your cat and I wanted to see what he could possibly have done this time, how can one cat make such an mess?" Ethel asked walking further into the room and looking around.

"I don't even know how he possibly got in here, don't they keep these doors locked?" Mildred asked trying to keep the girl talking so she would not think of going to Miss Hardbroom.

"I don't know, let's see what Miss Hardbroom has to say" Ethel replied smirking. The girl was an teacher's pet and would always go running to an teacher.

"After everything you caused last year I think it would be wise not to drawn attention to yourself" Mildred replied.

"I saved my sister!" Ethel replied as she took an step nearer to the girl.

"Yes after you tricked her into giving up her powers, got Agatha Cackle and Miss Gullet to take over the entire school, nearly trapped Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom in an painting and nearly caused the school to collapse, somehow Ethel I doubt Miss Hardbroom has forgotten all that yet" Mildred replied. Ethel glared at the other girl.

Mildred had let go of Tabby when she had been arguing with Ethel and noticed when she went to pick him up again he had something dangling from his mouth.

"What is that?" Ethel asked as she picked it up.

It was what looked to be an clock but the hands and display looked different than normal, the metal was very rusty which would imply that the clock had been in the storeroom for years. The clock was the size of an pocket watch and could easily be carried around.

"This thing is useless, look you can't even read the time" Ethel said showing it to Mildred.

"That is probably why it was in an storeroom Ethel, most of the stuff in here is old junk" Mildred replied.

"I wonder what this means" Ethel said as she tried to read the display which seemed to be in an language she had never heard of before. Instead of numbers there was symbols but they were not from any sort of language Ethel knew to exist and instead of two hands their was four.

"I don't know let's just get out of here lunch will be finishing soon" Mildred replied wanting to get out of the room before someone realised they were not at lunch and came to look for them, but Ethel wasn't listening.

The blonde girl looked at the pocket watch fascinated almost as if she was in an trance, then she clicked the button on the top not expecting anything to actually happen because of course the watch was years old so she didn't even think it would work anymore.

All of an sudden an bright white light shined out of the watch and Tabby once again jumped out of Mildred's arms and ran off not appreciating an light being shined into his eyes.

"Ethel what have you done!?" Mildred replied as Ethel clicked the button again trying to get rid of the light but it didn't work, in fact the source of light only seemed to get bigger and Ethel grabbed Mildred's arm as they felt like they were being pulled.

The two girls screamed as the room they were standing in disappeared to darkness neither of them understanding what was happening but before they had time to panic the strange sensation ended as soon as it had started and they landed hard on an ground both falling flat on their faces from the pressure of the landing. Mildred was the first to get up and looked at Ethel annoyed.

"What on earth did you do? What was that?" Mildred asked angrily. Ethel stood up the pocket watch still in her hands and looked around.

"I think an better question would be, where are we?" Ethel asked

Mildred then turned to look around. In front of them was an large building that did not seem to have any colour to it whatsoever, even the sky seemed to be an black cloudy colour. The building was large and the two girls were stood an few feet away from it. Both girls stared at the building realising that wherever they were they were not at Cackle's Academy anymore.
