A Witch's Legacy

"Ahhhhhhhh" Seraiya screamed as Alvera slowly sucked the power from Seraiya. "Dammit," said Alvera as she stopped and Seraiya fell to her hands and knees. "This is taking too long," Alvera said obviously annoyed. "I doubt that jar is big enough for the amount of power you're taking out of her," Serena said as she stood watching from the doorway.

"This jar is meant to hold the power of a god" Alvera snapped turning to her. "That doesn't matter now," said Serena. "We have a problem" Serena added with a slight tilt of her head prompting Alvera to follow her. "Take more blood," Alvera told a young blonde woman who only gave a slight bow to Alvera as she left the room.

Seraiya attempted to stand and the girl quickly caught her as she lost her balance. "Let me help you," said the young woman.

"Who are you," seraiya said weakly looking up at the young woman. "Elian," said the young woman. As she walked Seraiya to the chair.

Seraiya fell into the chair and adjusted herself as Elian grabbed a needle. "Ready?" Elian asked. "Do it" seraiya told her. Elian without hesitation stuck the needle in Seraiya's arm. Blood slowly went up the tube and into a bag. Seraiya laid her head back and closed her eyes.

It had only been a few days. A few days since she left the people who claimed to be her family, a few days since she found the hive since she found Alvera.

"You should really keep your eyes open," Elian said. "She's already taken not only a lot of your blood but a lot of your power" Elian added. "I wouldn't want to die because I allowed you to," she said prompting Seraiya to open her eyes.

"Sorry," Seraiya said simply. Suddenly a loud explosion was heard from outside. "What was that?" Seraiya said jumping up. "I don't know," Elian said turning to look at the door. "Take the needle out," Seraiya said. "I can't, and even if I could what would you do? You're not strong enough to do anything right now" she said.

Seraiya suddenly grabbed the needle still in her arm and ripped it out. "Wrap it" Seraiya demanded as blood poured out of her arm. "I can do one better," Elian said walking over to Seraiya and putting her hands above the fresh wound.

"Sana," Elian said as her hands suddenly gave off a light golden glow. "Just remember I tried to warn you," Elian said. Seraiya suddenly stood up. The door to the room burst open as she got near it.

When Seraiya got outside there stood Damien.

Damien's eyes went wide as he stared at Seraiya. She looked like a corpse. Her skin though already pale had taken on this almost green color bags weighed heavy under her eyes as well.

"So this is what it's come to Damien attacking an innocent coven," Seraiya said. "This thing is a parasite Rai it's messing with your head," Damien told her. "That's what they've been doing Damien," she told him. "All our lives all they've done is use us to intimidate those around them," she said. "After all who would want to mess with the family of the all-powerful tribrids right?" She added. "Rai this isn't you," he said.

"Isn't it?" She asked. "I've never been more me in my life," she told him. "And you would be too if you accepted The hive as well," she told him. "None of that is true," Amani said suddenly appearing beside Damien. "You have always been you," she told her with teary eyes. "Even when the world was against you you smiled when you wanted to smile cried when you wanted to cry and laughed when you wanted to laugh," Amani said. "The hive changed nothing in your heart only in your mind," she told her. "I know that just like I know I love you and just like I know you love me" Amani added.

"If you loved me you would come with me," Seraiya said holding out her hand to Amani. Amani looked at Damien before looking back at Seraiya. "I… you know I can't," Amani said. "Why not?" Seraiya asked putting her hand down. "Because this isn't you," Amani said. "But I know that the seraiya I know is still in there," she said. "I know that if you come back to us…. Come back to me" Amani said as she tried to hold back her tears "You can be you again" she added.

Seraiyas eyes became cold as she looked away from Amani and her eyes set on Damien. "repelle" Seraiya said making Damien suddenly go flying back.

As Amani looked back at Damien, seraiya fell to the ground. "SERAIYA" Amani yelled running to her and picking her up holding her in her arms. "Rai open your eyes," Amani said as she listened for her heartbeat. "Thank the gods," she said as she held Seraiya even closer to her chest and cried into her when she heard Seraiya's slowed heartbeat.

"We need to get going," Damien said rubbing his neck as he walked over to Amani. "GET AWAY FROM HER" Elian yelled going to punch Damien.

Damien quickly grabbed Elians fist, stopping her and pushing it down forcing Elian to look into his red eyes. "Like my mind-controlled sister wasn't enough now I have to take you with me too," he said. When suddenly Colton appeared behind Elian.

"Take her" Damien demanded. Colton quickly grabbed Elian and disappeared. Amani picked up Seraiya's limp body and handed her to Damien. "She's light," Damien said as he looked into Amani's eyes. Amani could only nod as she tried to hold back her tears again.

~ Let's just get her home~ Zach linked the both of them as he walked over to them still in his wolf form and covered in blood. "Did you find it?" Damien asked. ~No~ Zach said simply through the link. ~It as well as 70% of the rest of the coven fled, 10% attacked and were killed and the remaining 20% were captured and are currently being transported to my mother's pack~ Zack said simply.

"Then let us go," Damien said.
