41 A Close Secre (2/2)
Ana stepped out looking ready for war. Her hair was piled up and she changed into black jeans and black tank. Marie could never get over how beautiful Ana was and from her brothers' sudden tense body he was obviously thinking something along those lines
”Ana, are you okay?” Marie asked softly taking a step towards the girl she saw as a sister. Ana cut her angry eyes briefly to Seb before looking back at Marie.
”I'm just great” She replied rather sarcastically. Oh Seb you really pissed her off
”Where are you going?” Seb demanded. Marie just wanted to hit right now. For some reason he could never say the right things to Ana. He was the smartest man she knew but when it came to Ana he was a complete idiot. Ana's eyes flashed red with anger
”That's not your concern” She said walking off
”Ana please don't leave like this” Marie begged. She knew her friend was hurting but she really didn't want her to be alone. Ana slowly turned around to them giving Marie a small smile
”I need answers. I'm just going to see this woman named Helia. I won't be long” Ana said
”I'm coming” Seb jumped in. Ana's body froze
”No you're not” Ana's voice was filled with anger but Marie knew it was really to cover her pain
”You are not going to see a great witch alone” Seb told her sternly. Ana raised a brow
”Witch?” She questioned
”Yes. Helia is a great witch. One of the most powerful witches alive. Marcos tried to contact her for a spell years ago but he couldn't find her. That's the thing with witches, you can only find one when they allow you to.” Seb ended taking cautious steps toward Ana. He better be careful before Ana zaps him, Marie thought. But Ana seemed to be thinking over something hard; too hard to notice Seb now stood next to her.
”Helia is a witch….Helia knows the truth about me…I have to see Helia” Ana rambled more to herself than to them. Marie was curious about Ana's thoughts but didn't ask
”Hey, did you say you have to see Helia?” Jace asked coming from the room closing the door behind him. Marie gave her brother a stern look and mouthed ”Behave” to him.
”Yes. And no you're not coming” Ana told him snapping from her thoughts. She finally realized Seb was next to her. With one look she had Seb taking a few steps back.
”Why do you need to see her?” Jace asked very suspiciously. Almost like he knew something
Ana sighed in frustration
”What's it matter to you Jace? Do you know something about her?” By the tone of her voice Ana was on edge. Marie saw her get like this when Talon would taunt her. If Ana didn't calm down her ability would start leaking out. Too many emotions make her go haywire
”Yeah, I know everything about her” Jace said seriously. Everyone stopped and stared at him. What does he mean by that?
”How?” Ana asked taking even strides in Jace's direction.
It was silent for moment....
And then Jace said the last thing any of them expected to hear
”Because she is my grandmother...
