Chapter~Three: A plan is laid
Enya walked through a darkened forest filled with snow that was as silent as a grave making her inwardly shudder. The sounds of something rushing around in the darkness made Enya tense though she continued to walk. The sound of something walking behind her prompted Enya to glance back and see a man wearing an long, cream-colored, hooded jacket, which is lined with zippers on the left and the right breast. He was looking around with a frown on his face and told her, "Miss Enya, I dislike this place."
"I know and we'll get out of here soon enough," Enya spoke to the man soothingly, "Are you sure that they spoke of this forest?"
"Yes, Miss," The man told her.
"Th-" Enya was cut off by something exploding in front of her.
Enya was sent flying and landed roughly against a nearby tree. She hissed as her mouth filled with blood and her side's throbbed in pain. Enya spat out the blood just as a cry of pain followed by something warm splashing against her face. She lifted her hand and gasped in horror at the sight of the crimson colored substance now decorating her formally pristine white gloves.
Enya jerked awake with a low hiss and groaned, "What the fuck kind of dream was that?"
She ran a hand through her hair and grimaced at the sweat covering it knowing that she'd need to take a shower. Getting out of bed slowly, Enya listened carefully before sighing as she noted that her relatives were still sleeping. Grabbing her clothes for the day, Enya slipped out of her room and into the bathroom where she took a regrettably quick shower. Enya pulled on her clothes and glanced into the slightly foggy mirror. The last three days since her return from Hogwarts had been trying for Enya as Petunia had done everything in her power to keep Enya out of the house and away from her son. Enya would have been surprised that she hadn't gotten a sunburn had she ever gotten one before. Enya just didn't burn in the sun, but that didn't change that fact that the days had been far hotter than last year. Enya noted that her scar looked slightly pale compared to how inflamed it had been the whole of the school year. It still didn't stop her head from hurting a lot.
Lulu Bell placed the file of information the Earl requested before him, "This is everything I could get."
"Quite a large file for someone only in the mundane world until she turned eleven and during her summers," The Earl commented as he opened the file, "Did you find anything odd?"
"From what I can tell, she reportedly constantly ran away from her relatives from age six until she turned nine where it stopped completely," Lulu Bell informed him, "All I could find on those is that she always ended up back with her relatives within a week to two weeks until she turned 8. At that point in time, she completely disappeared until a week before she turned nine,"
The Earl blinked before commenting, "She must be fairly slippery if she managed to avoid being found for a year. Did anyone say who found her?"
"Most of the time, it was Albus Dumbledore," Lulu Bell replied as she leaned against the desk, "I managed to find a few links to the magical world and followed them. Apparently, Dumbledore put charms on the Dursley house to prevent Enya from running again,"
The Earl frowned darkly, "If it turns out that this is our Enya, I am having a full physical done on her along with a complete scan of her magical core."
"Do you wish for me to arrange that or do you wish to wait?" Lulu Bell asked him while frowning.
The Earl looked at her carefully as he recalled the Noah of Lust had spent quite a bit of time with Enya while not on missions when Enya was either on the Ark or at Sheril's mansion. It was often that the two along with Tryde spoke of various matters and the two Noah had been quite happy to get Enya to speak with them on topics they thought were important. Thinking about Lulu Bell's question, the Earl came to a decision, "I believe that it would be best to allow Enya to decide if she should have one. I do want you to alert the clan's healers that there is a possibility that one of us will be requiring it, but do not mention any names for now. I am quite aware of how easily information will be passed onto everyone what with Wisley's ability."
"I'll go do so now," Lulu Bell left after she said that and the Earl leaned back into his chair.
He looked down at the first page of the file and sighed as he began to work his way through it. He really hoped that it was their Enya reborn.
Enya pulled another weed from the garden as the front door opened to reveal Dudley. While she mostly ignored the whale-like teenager, she kept an eye on him to ensure she had time to react in case he tried something. She was proven correct to do so moments later when Dudley attempted to kick her as he walked towards where his gang of thugs was currently walking. She easily moved out of the way and Dudley growled under his breath. Enya was careful to make sure he wouldn't attempt anything else and was pleased when they'd left. Pulling another weed from the bush, Enya was surprised to hear a meow and turned her head to see a rather pretty looking black cat. While she was rather curious about the scar-like marking that sat on the middle of the cat's head, Enya immediatly stopped what she was doing to coo at the pretty cat, "Hello, sweet one. Aren't you a beautiful cat."
She held out her hand and the cat trotted up to sniff at her fingers. Enya smiled as the cat allowed her to pet it. She rubbed under the cats chin as it purred. She fiddled with the bell and ribbon for a few moments before jerking as the cat hissed when Petunia shouted from inside of the house, "GIRL! You better be weeding the garden!"
"I am!" Enya called back before looking at the cat, "Sorry about her, Petunia isn't a nice woman at all," The cat meowed as if to agree with her and allowed Enya to pick it up, "She's a really bitter bitch, so don't be surprised if she gets angry at you for being around me," The cat rubbed it's cheek against Enya's before she put it down and scratched behind it's ears, "You should get going before Petunia finds you near me. She'll probably assume your someone's familiar and attempt to hurt you. I wouldn't put it past her,"
Enya quickly shooed the cat before returning to weeding the garden.
The Earl looked up when the door to the study he was sitting in opened and Lulu Bell walked inside, "Is something wrong, Lulu Bell?"
"I visited Enya's residence," Lulu Bell informed him, "I went up to her in my cat form. When she touched me, I could feel her magic and it felt almost like our Enya's did only with some minute differences,"
"You've come to a conclusion," The Earl realized as he leaned back in his chair.
"She is our Enya reincarnated," Lulu Bell told him firmly, "I'm sure of it,"
The Earl nodded lightly, "Good. I wish for you to send Sheril to me. After that, I want you to watch Enya's residence. I want to know everything that goes on in that house, everything that her relatives do, and if Dumbledore has anyone watching her."
"Yes, Earl," Lulu Bell left immediatly.
The Earl ran a hand through his hair as his eyes settle on the image of an ten year old Enya. From what he'd read so far, the Earl knew that Enya's home life hadn't been good to her. The multitude of times the fire department had been called or her relatives had ended up in the hospital with mysterious burns showed that her innocence was protecting her. The fact that she had Inari's Wrath with her was a bit of a shock, but it also relieved him. It would provide her some much needed protection even if it would strain her body. He would have to find some potions to ease the strain it would cause. Reaching for his cup of tea, the Earl spoke as Sheril walked into the room, "Sheril, I wish for our company to get into contact with Grunnings. I don't care how you do it, but we need to meet with the Dursley family."
"May I ask why?" Sheril asked with a raised eyebrow, "Isn't Grunnings a drill company?"
"It pertains to us finding a certain member of our family that has remained missing for far too long," The Earl told him making Sheril frown before the Noah of Desire's eyes widen.
"Enya?" The man breathed, "You've found her?"
The Earl took a sip of his tea before replying, "I believe so. I am very certain it is her reincarnation. However, I doubt she has her memories back just yet."
"I assume the meeting with the Dursley family is to get into contact with her?" Sheril asked earning a nod from the Earl, "I'll get right on it though are we going to tell Tyki?"
The mention of the Noah in question made the Earl sigh. Tyki hadn't taken Enya's death well at all and laid much of the blame on the Earl once the cause of her death had been dealt with. The Earl knew it was very much his fault for making that absolutely dumb deal with Death, but at the time he couldn't bare to lose anymore of his family. The Earl finally nodded, "Yes. Inform him, I also wish for you to inform Road and Wisley. When we meet with the Dursley's, I want them there so we can both better assess the situation and help Enya unlock her memories."
"What about Allen and Nea?" Sheril asked him curiously.
The Earl frowned before saying, "Once we've gotten everything set up, I will inform the rest of the family. As it stands, I do not wish for those two to get involved."
Sheril nodded in understanding. It was no secret that the two would immediatly sneak off in order to get into contact with Enya before they could put their plan into action. Considering Enya's current position, The Earl had no doubt that Dumbledore would involve himself and most likely hide Enya away if word got to him about her being of interest to the Noah clan. Dumbledore had been quite insufferable since he came to power and was the main reason why they didn't have much contact with the magical world. Sheril frowned slightly before saying, "I'm aware that those two would likely freak Enya out, but I feel that there is more to this situation than your telling me."
"She is the 'Girl-Who-Lived', Sheril," The Earl told him making Sheril blanch, "I'm fairly sure you understand just why I wish to be very cautious with this,"
"Enya's luck really sucks," Sheril commented, "I'll go get started. It'll likely be a day or two before I can confirm anything,"
"So long as it is done soon, I don't mind," The Earl waved him away and Sheril left.
Enya smiled as the mirror Sirius had given her heated up and spoke, "What do you want, Siri?"
"How are things back there, Pup?" Sirius asked her in concern.
"The usual," Enya told him, "I'm fine though,"
She was currently settled at the base of one of the large trees that grew in a secluded section of the park. Dudley didn't even know this place existed which made Enya glad because it offered her a place where she could really relax and allow Hedwig out. Sirius frowned at her, "What about your head?"
"It hurts, but that's usual for me," Enya rolled her eyes, "Honestly, I'm fine. Voldy hasn't been attempting to sneak in my head since I burned him during the whole Ministry incident,"
"Your scar isn't bothering you?" Sirius asked her making Enya shake her head.
"I haven't felt anything from it," Enya paused before telling him, "I think I'm going to speak to the goblins about it before we leave for our trip,"
Sirius looked at her in surprise before telling her, "That's the best plan I've heard. They know a lot about cursed stuff, so I'm sure they'll be able to help you. If you want, I can speak to both our account managers about this and probably come up with some type of plan."
"That would be great," Enya sighed softly before checking the time on her watch, "I gotta go and head back in order to make dinner. I'll talk to you later, Siri,"
"Be careful, Pup," He warned her, "The Snake's still too quiet for my liking,"
"I will be," She promised him, "I have no plans on getting into any trouble,"
"But trouble always seems to find you," Sirius shook his head before asking, "Have you started on meditating?"
"I've tried, but can't do it with how much my head's hurting me," Enya told him, "It seems to get worse when I try,"
Sirius frowned deeply, "I'll mention that to the goblins. If anything, I'm sure they'll have you see one of their healers. They might have a solution for you."
Enya smiled at him, "So long as it get's rid of my headaches, I'll be happy. See you, Siri."
"See you, Pup," The mirror returned to normal.
Sheril found his brother in the library of their home in England, "Tyki."
"Yes?" Tyki didn't bother looking up from the book he was reading.
"The Earl," Sheril watched his brother tense, "Believes that he's found her,"
Tyki's head shot up and stared right into Sheril's eyes. Sheril could see the multitude of emotions swirling around in his brother's eyes and was fairly sure some of them belonged to the Noah within his brother. It wouldn't surprise Sheril since Tyki had seemed far closer to his inner Noah since Enya's death. Inwardly swallowing at the weighty stare, Sheril listened as Tyki demanded, "Where is she?"
"I don't know yet," Sheril told him making Tyki growl under his breath, "Tyki, the Earl is going to meet with her relatives family. He's taking Road, Wisley, and me along-"
"I'm coming," Tyki decided immediatly making Sheril chuckle, "Why are you laughing?"
Sheril smiled at his brother, "Neither of us expected you to remain here."
Tyki smiled slightly at his brother before asking, "Anything I can do to help?"
"Go get a room prepared for Enya," Sheril told him, "Don't tell Nea or Allen about what's going on,"
"Wasn't planning on it," Tyki replied with a roll of his eyes, "I'm aware of what they would do. Where's Lulu Bell?"
"The Earl most likely has her watching over Enya's residence if not Enya herself," Sheril turned and began walking out of the library, "I need to go set everything up so that we can actually meet with Enya's relatives,"
Tyki watched Sheril go before smiling to himself as he murmured, "Soon, Enya. We'll be together again very soon."
'And I should care why?' Enya internally rolled her eyes as Vernon went on about how a new company had taken an interest in Grunnings, 'It's not like you'll actually have me around,'
"And we might soon be hosting a dinner," Vernon informed them making Enya roll her eyes.
"Vernon," Enya spoke up making the walrus glare at her as Petunia and Dudley did the same though neither of them turned purple, "Why am I even here? I'm obviously going to be stuck in my room or wandering around outside until they're gone, so why have me here? I don't particularly care about this,"
Oh she knew it was probably because he wanted to gloat over how successful his company was. It wouldn't surprise her if that's the only reason he was doing it. Vernon glowered at her, "You will give me the respect I de-"
"Vernon do I really need to remind you of the fact that I can easily burn down the house?" Enya pointed out lazily making her relatives freeze, "I'm quite willing to do so if you don't get to the fucking point,"
Vernon's skin whitened before he told her, "When we have the dinner, you will be in your room and it will be like you never existed."
"So like always," Enya turned and began to leave the room, "I'm going to bed,"
With that said, Enya headed up to her room and shut the door behind her. Laying her back against it, Enya covered her face with a hand and groaned softly as her head ache seemed to worsen. Hedwig hooted at her and Enya uncovered her eyes to look at the owl. Upon seeing the state of Hedwig's cage, Enya realized that she would have to clean it at some point. Deciding that it could wait until tomorrow, Enya walked over to her bed and sat down while pulling her book of Norse runes out from under her bed. Leaning back against the wall, Enya opened the book to where she left off and hoped that she could find some runes that might be able to help her with the headaches she was getting.
Sheril walked into the Earl's study and told the man, "I've set up a meeting for Friday. Apparently, Vernon's a fan of hosting dinner's at his house."
"At least that takes care of ensuring Enya is there," The Earl held out the file Lulu Bell had given him, "I want you and the others to read over this file. I'm going to go check on Lulu Bell as well as Enya,"
Sheril took the file while commenting, "Tyki seems a lot more in touch with his Noah now a days."
The Earl sighed softly as he stood up, "That isn't surprising, Enya's death most likely did it."
"The question is why," Sheril murmured making the Earl shake his head.
"Considering the fact that she is not only the reincarnation of Enya, but of Ena as well, I'm not surprised," The Earl told him making Sheril freeze, "I hadn't realized it until after Enya's death when I was going through some old records in the Ark and uncovered a painting of Ena along with her journals,"
"Ena," Sheril's eyes closed for a few moments before snapping open as he whispered, "How could I have forgotten?"
The Earl didn't reply as he left the room leaving Sheril staring at the file in his hands in shock.
Lulu Bell transformed back into her human form as the Earl came to a stop next to her. They were currently standing on the house sitting across the street from number four Privet drive where Enya and her relatives lived. The Earl spoke softly as he focused on the window of the room that contained Enya, "What did you find out?"
"Dumbledore is watching Enya," She informed him, "Every six hours, the watcher is exchanged for a new one and they all wear an invisibility cloak to hide themselves,"
"That could pose a problem," The Earl commented, "What else?"
Lulu Bell gestured to the gardens, "Her family has her do all the outside work. When she isn't doing that, she's often outside of the house and travels to a secluded area of the nearby park. Her cousin does whatever he can to cause her pain though when he can't, he along with his friends head to the park to bully the younger kids," Lulu Bell's normally calm voice showed her disgust, "Her aunt is a gossip hound and constantly spreads lies and rumors about Enya being a heathen/devil child," Lulu Bell's lips twitch, "Enya hates her. Her uncle is an adult version of her cousin. He often threatens her though Enya's usually quick to reply in ways that make him back off," Lulu Bell's tone turned a bit pleased, "She got a mirror call from her Godfather. From what I can tell, he cares for her deeply."
"Did anything of interest come up?" The Earl asked as they watch the lights in Enya's house turn off and Enya allow her owl out to hunt for the night.
"The scar she has isn't normal and she's planning on speaking with the goblins as soon as possible about it," The Earl frowned upon hearing that while Lulu Bell continued, "She also has chronic headaches and from what I've gathered, it's prevented her from meditating. Meditation apparently makes it worse,"
"Which adds evidence to her being our Enya," While the thought of her in pain troubled the Earl, he was pleased to know that her awakening would happen soon enough.
"Her uncle apparently has her either stay in her room or go out whenever they have dinner parties," Lulu Bell informed him, "She apparently has to act like she doesn't exist,"
The Earl frowned as that would make speaking with her harder, "Which are they doing next time they have one?"
"She's to stay in her room," Lulu Bell informed him.
The Earl was pleased to know that she would be inside the house. All he would have to do was find someway to force them to bring Enya down for dinner. They would also have to ensure that Enya wasn't sitting near her relatives. Nodding to himself, the Earl asked, "How's her mental state?"
"From what I can tell, she isn't happy being here," Lulu Bell smirked, "She even threatened to burn down the house earlier if her uncle didn't get to the point while he was attempt to brag,"
Chuckling, the Earl commented, "Still a fan of using fire to threaten people, I see."
Enya walked through a rather bustling city that she didn't recognize. A yelp left her as she was pulled off the street and into a nearby ally only to giggle as a blurry figure breathed in her ear, "Wandering around a city such as this all alone, you could get into a lot of trouble."
She shivered slightly before replying, "Perhaps, but it is broad daylight and I doubt anyone would have the balls to do it besides you-"
The blurry figure chuckled and released her from their grip allowing Enya to turn around. The only thing she could really make out was a pair of eye catching golden eyes that bled away into warm brown and the top hat they were currently wearing. The figure told her, "I would never when I'm in your company."
"Uhuh," She rolled her eyes before asking, "What are you doing here?"
"It's been awhile since we've seen each other and I've been dying to take you out on that date I promised you," The blurry figure winked at her, "Will you allow me to take you out, my dear?"
Enya let out a soft laugh as she replied, "You just dragged me into an alleyway just to ask me on a date?" She shook her head, "Only you, -, only you."
"That doesn't answer my question," The shadow pointed out and Enya could make out a grin that made her heart beat a bit faster.
The shadow held out a blurry gloved hand and Enya placed her hand in it, "I would love to."
The shadow brought her hand up to it's lips-
"Wake up, Girl!" Petunia shrilly shouted and banged on the door making Enya groan softly.
For some reason, Enya had more of an urge to toss a fire ball at Petunia than usual. The fact that her headache was already present probably played a huge roll in that. Shoving her thoughts of fire related harm, Enya called out, "What's going on?"
"I need your help to get everything ready for today's dinner," Petunia snapped through the door, "So get up,"
'And my friends wonder why I have little patience with bossy people,' Enya stiffly got out of bed feeling abnormally cold and immediatly turned her head to see that she'd left her window open last night, 'Fuck. I fell asleep before Hedwig got back from her hunt. At least the runes keep bugs out,' Enya walked over to the window and closed it even as she noticed the beautiful black cat from a few days ago staring at her from the house across the street, 'Odd,' She grabbed her clothes for the day and headed towards the door as she called out, "I'm up,"
When she opened the door, Petunia sneered at her, "I will not have you ruining dinner tonight. After Lunch, you will go to your room for the afternoon unless I say otherwise. If you do not comply, you will get no food for three days."
"I know," Enya moved past Petunia towards the bathroom, "I'll be down in twenty minutes,"
Petunia huffed from behind her, but thankfully left her alone. Enya was not looking forward to tonight where she would have to listen to Vernon entertain his guests. They would probably be much too loud and she'd get an even worse headache as a result.
Next chapter is now up. I will have another chapter up by Saturday which will most likely be longer. If you've read my one shot of 'A phoenix is found' you'll like have an idea of what will happen. Until then, I love you guys and please review. They make me happy and more eager to write the next chapter!
