A Witch's Legacy

A night had passed since Anya last spoke to Seraiya.

"Лесли" (Leslie) Anya said calling out to a woman with long dirty blonde hair and tan skin. "О, Аня, я не ожидал тебя сегодня" (Oh Anya I wasn't expecting you today,) Leslie said turning to her. "Мне нужна твоя помощь" (I need your help) Anya said.

"В чем дело" (what is the matter?" Leslie asked concerned. "A young girl needs to get in contact with Alpha Aaron Woods of the Sibris pack in England," Anya said. "I'll be taking her with me when I leave for England but I think it would be better to inform the alpha of who she is before she arrives" Anya explained.

"And who is this girl you speak of?" Leslie asked, suddenly deciding to speak English as well. "Her name is Seraiya Mason," Anya told her. "The Tribrid?" Leslie questioned. "One of them, yes," Anya told her.

Suddenly Leslie pulled out her phone and dialed a number before holding it to her ear. "Alpha Aaron Woods of the Sibris pack," she said. "I have someone who wishes to speak with you" she added before handing the phone to Anya.

Anya took the phone from Leslie and held it up to her ear. "Who is this" a deep male voice echoed through the phone. "My name is Anya Skillcavetch do you know a young girl named Seraiya Mason?" Anya asked. "And what if I do?" He asked. "The day after I will be bringing her to England," Anya said. "She wishes to be put into your custody" Anya added. "What are you talking about Seraiya is in the U.S. with her pack and family," he told her.

"I hate to tell you you're wrong Alpha, but you are," she said. "Seraiya told me her pack was destroyed and she was kidnapped and brought here to Russia" Anya explained. "She only escaped when she lost control of her power and burned the slave auction to the ground killing…. Many" she told him.

"Is she ok?" He asked. "She's a 12-year-old girl who quite possibly lost her family. She was kidnapped and put on a supernatural slave auction which she burned to the ground killing who knows how many" Anya said. "She is far from ok" she added. "I'll see you and Seraiya in 2 days at the airport," he said before hanging up the phone.

Anya handed the phone back to Leslie. "Thank you," Anya said. Leslie gave her a quick nod, and the two suddenly began a slow walk. "How is the girl?" Leslie asked.

"Honestly…" Anya said with slight hesitation. "I haven't a clue" she added. "But I believe she is the type who will do whatever she needs to in order to survive," Anya told her.

"Seraiya," Maria said holding a tray of food as she stood in the doorway of the guest room where Seraiya stayed. "Тебе не нужно заботиться обо мне, я в порядке, просто остаюсь один" (you don't have to take care of me I'm fine just being left alone) seraiya suddenly said in Russian.

"Ты быстро взялся за Русский Оффали, ты ничего не читаешь, кроме книг, которые мы тебе дали?" (You've taken up Russian Offaly quickly have you done anything but read the books we gave you?) Maria asked.

"No," Seraiya said simply "but I thought it might be nice to learn" she added. "Then I'll leave you to it," Maria said setting the food down and leaving the room.

2 days passed and Anya and Seraiya were sitting in the airport waiting to be called. Suddenly seraiya saw a familiar face. "Amani," Seraiya said standing up from her seat. The black woman turned around. "Seraiya," the woman said before walking over to her. "I can't believe you are alive," Seraiya said. "I can't believe you're alive either you were right in the center of it," Amani said. "I was the center of it," Seraiya told her. "Did everyone make it out?" Seraiya asked. "I'm honestly not sure," Amani told her. "It was…. Chaos" she added.

"Where are you going?" seraiya asked. "Back to my pack in England," she told her. "Any you?" Amani asked. "I'm meeting with an alpha who may be able to help me find out if my pack survived or not," Seraiya told her. "Also in England" she added "Great so then we're traveling together," Amani said with a smile as she suddenly grabbed Seraiyas hand.

A flash suddenly entered seraiyas mind making her rip her arm out of Amani's grasp. "Are you ok I didn't mean to surprise you" Amani said with concern. "I'm fine… I'm… just gonna go to the bathroom before the flight" Seraiya said before turning and walking away.

"Don't mind her too much" Anya said walking up to Amani. "What's wrong with her?" Amani questioned "ptsd?" She asked. "I think so," Anya said. "What she went through… killing all those people… watching them burn alive in front of your very eyes and knowing you are the one responsible for their deaths even if they were bad people…." Anya said. "I think it would traumatize anyone," she said.

After Seraiya returned from the bathroom it wasn't much longer before their plane was called. When it landed in England and they finally got off the plane Seraiya just stood there.

Suddenly a man approached the 3 of them "Amani it's good to see you alive and well" he said to Amani who bowed her head to him. Before he turned his head to look at Seraiya. "It's been quite some time Seraiya," he said. "The last time I saw you, you and Damien weren't even 7 yet," he said.

Seraiya looked up at Aaron. His gaze was cold and almost lifeless. "What do you know of my pack… my family?" She asked in a dark tone. If he hadn't heard the words come out of her mouth he wouldn't have believed she was the one to say them.

Aaron looked up at Anya who gave him a nod before looking back at Seraiya. "I haven't heard anything, unfortunately," he told her. "It isn't a good thing but it's also not bad" he added. "It just means their radio silent," he said. "How do I find out if they're ok?" She asked her expression serious. "You don't," he told her. He then knelt down to her level. "Your job is to stay here and heal both mentally and physically," he said. "I'll handle everything else" he added
