Chapter 4

Anaya sat quietly in the woods, sketching a plant that she would record in her own Book of Shadows. She was now Twenty-four, and her mother had died a year ago. Anaya was dealing with it, and had develop her magical ability amazingly.

The coven which now consisted of Anaya, Helen, the old woman who had first helped initiate Anaya into the coven, and was the High priestess of the coven. Beth a midwife in the late thirties and Kate and Michelle, a pair of sisters in their late forties. One of whom was a widow.

Out of the five Anaya was the youngest by far, but since the death of her mother, her magical abilities had increased by so much that she was now a match for Helen. But Anaya would never question Helen's rank, as she was like a mother to Anaya and had ancient wisdom.

She had developed the ability to see slightly into the future, though not very strongly, and what she did see, were women who looked much the same as Anaya herself, in slight moderations.

She suspected that these were her future lives and she had the rare gift to see what they would be like. She also sensed their power and that it was much the same as her's only not as strong. Except for one who was very far into the future.

Anaya also had the power to shape-shift. Though none, not even Helen knew this. For she shielded herself from all of them who had learnt from Helen to sense a person's aura and power. Helen and Anaya were the only one's that could actually see a person's power.

Though deep in her thoughts and sketch, Anaya did notice the slight sound behind her. Though she did not react, her sensitive ears were waiting for the repercussion of the sound.

Then there it was. At the back of her mind, she sensed power, a strange power that she was unfamiliar with. She scolded herself for not noticing it before.

Just at that moment the Barloth attacked.

But Anaya was prepared. She leaped up from where she had been sitting and lunged out of harms way.

Whipping around the young witch faced her adversary with a calm expressionless face.

Barloth looked at the woman and smiled to himself, she was cocky, too cocky for someone with so little power. She would be no match for him. But the smile upon his face began to fade as he sensed her power grow stronger much stronger.

"Fool! She was shielding herself!" He thought angrily to himself, now facing a very, very much stronger opponent. He swore and attacked.

While he was thinking, Anaya was in full battle mode. She began chanting softly a spell to summon Helen. She then took out a small glass vial that held a potion to stop a demon from blinking, hence cutting off their escape route.

The demon hurled a fireball at her and Anaya leaped out of way. She chanted a curse to vanquish the demon.

*Wicked Demon in your turn, I vanquish you, Let your ashes burn, Cast away from my sight, Never may you see the light!*

Anaya watched the demon began to scream in pain but did not begin to burn up into nothing. She sighed. This was an upper demon.

She would need more than a simple chant to destroy him, undoubtedly a potion as well as a spell. But at the moment she really didn't have time to sit and brew up a vanquish potion. She was having a hard enough time avoiding those fire balls.

Feeling frustrated by her lack of speed she shape-shifted into a wolf and attacked him.

Barloth cried out in pain, as the magnificent creature sank it's fangs into his leg. He desperately tried to blink out of there, but the damn witch had prevented him from doing so. He felt a deep hatred begin to grow within him towards the witch who also had the power to shape-shift.

But Barloth consoled himself by telling himself that the power would soon be his, as soon as he dealt with the wench.

However at that moment, Helen came into the clearing, looking slightly puffed. She surveyed the scene before her and realised as she had always suspected that Anaya could shape-shift.

She quickly took out the vanquishing potion that she had put together when she had felt Anaya summon her.

"Anaya!" she cried out.

The wolf turned to face her and let go of the bloody heap that had formerly been Barloth's leg.

"YOU!" He cried seeing Helen, the very witch he had set out to gain revenge from. "The both of you will pay! Pay for what you have done to Melina and I!" He screamed.

Anaya who had changed back to her original self, replied.

"I don't think so Demon, not in this life time!"

Helen nodded and chucked the potion, and grabbed Anaya's hand. She chanted making it up as she went.

*All the pain you have caused, May you feel as time goes on.

Anaya picking up on her improvisation continued, as she saw him morph into a clear mist still screaming with pain.

*Be you trapped in that form, Within this circle of Air and thorn, Be this your prison where you will dwell, So no more blood by your hands shall spill!"

Barloth screamed as he felt himself begin to be sucked into the very earth he had been standing upon and turn into a large grey boulder.

Helen released a sigh of relief.

"He is trapped, for eternity I hope," She said.

Anaya nodded, but wasn't so sure if the prison they had made for the demon would hold for all time. But she shrugged off the feeling. Barloth wasn't going anywhere, after all there wasn't anyone that could help him was there?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Anya jerked awake. She looked around her not recognising for a moment where she was. Then as the dream began to fade, she realised that she was at home, in her lounge, and had dozed off while watching T.V. It also happened to be the weekend.

She looked at the T.V which at the moment showed that there had been heavy and violent storms during last night, and the night before.

She could hear the news caster reporting.

*(News Lady) "There has been a very strong disturbance in the weather patterns, with Violent storms throughout the city. Weather experts are baffled as there was no warning or hint, and they are uncharacteristic for this part of the year.

In other news there has been a series of disappearances around the Bay National Park Area. The park which originally hosted towns in the early 1700s and was declared a National Park in 1991 is the home of what some of a series of disappearances, some believe this to be the work of a serial.." *

Anya turned the T.V off not wanting to hear more depressing news. She felt extremely tired, as she had been getting next to no sleep. This Anaya from her dreams was really starting to piss Anya off. She had no idea what her dreams were about, only that they were important. That much at least she could sense.

She looked away from the couch and saw a painting of her mother that Anya herself had done.

At that moment she couldn't help remember the similarity between the death of her mother and the death of this Anaya from her dream's mother. It was weird how the woman from her dreams had been twenty-three when her mother had died. Just like Anya.

As she looked at her mother's calm and peaceful face, she couldn't help but feel that the woman knew something she didn't.

"What does all this mean?" She asked the painting hopelessly.

She however wasn't returned with an answer, not like she had expected one.

Anya sighed tiredly and joked to her self, "Maybe it means it's time to get some therapy!"
