voicesinmyhead 015 - Mistaken Identity
I'm not sure this even counts, but there has been one time in my life that stands out more clearly than any other about mistaken identies and such.

I was my future self. As in I was taken from our time and transported into the body of my future self. That was the worst identity crisis I think I have ever experienced.

I had a premonition about me being burned at the stake for some crime I had committed. I was freaked and my sisters were bound and determined that that future was not going to happen. So... as much as I argued with them not to risk themselves, too, all three of us cast a spell to take us into the future.

We were supposed to get there with enough time to find my future self and stop her from doing whatever it was she had done to end up on death row and then on fire.

Something went wrong. Something went very, very wrong.

Instead of us getting there a few days ahead of time to save my future self from whatever mistake she had made... we ended up as our future selves with only a couple of hours until my execution... for murder. The actions of my future self had also caused 21st Century Witch Hunts because she had murdered someone using her powers -- something I still do not understand how happened. How could we have murdered someone using our powers? My powers aren't active. I have premonitions of the future and visions of the past.

It didn't matter, though, because she had... and I was the one that was about to be punished for it.

No one believed that it wasn't me, that I would never do something like that, but the future's Leo... he showed me what had happened and why my future self had snapped and killed someone.

It was me that they fastened to the stake and set on fire...

Me.

Luckily, the Elders sent us back before the worst could happen... but it was damn close. I actually felt myself burning before they decided to send us back home.

That was a really bad case of mistaken identity.

I almost died.
