Chapter 4: (Ayana)
Ayana was a respectable woman. She had secured an honorable place of her own in society and everyone was well aware of her authority and dominance and admired her for it. As brave, strong and confident a witch she was, people close to her knew her life lacked meaning. The problem was that she wished to have a child. However after years of trying she still couldn't conceive .
So the day Tatia came to her was probably the day both of their lives changed forever...
After her rendezvous with Niklaus, Tatia had found herself carrying his child. As troubled and worried as she was of the consequences that would follow especially after her husband's threat, she still told him everything . Her husband ,even though was infuriated at first,was not at all astonished at his wife's infidelity and he made her vow to give the child away as soon as it was born and leave town with him forever.
"Ahhhh! Aaaahhh! Aaaah!", she screamed. This was even more painful than she had thought.
"Just a little more Tatia, you're almost there" said Ayana
Tatia had asked Ayana to be the midwife and help her with her delivery. Although she didnt want to give up her baby as soon as it was born she liked having the powerful witch close to her at a time like this...
"Aaaah!" she screamed again ,and after that she heard a soft cry...
"Its a girl" Ayana exclaimed. "And what a beautiful child she is ! Just like her mother", she smiled.
"Let me hold her ."
"Please Ayana! I beg you ...as a mother, let me hold my little girl..let me have the honour of naming her"
" Don't worry Tatia! I'll take good care of her. And for her name...she shall be called Qetsiyah."
"Ayana wait! Please don't take her ...Please!"
And with that the witch disappeared with the bundle of joy that she now claimed as her own...
