Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Ten minutes later she had a few boxes of various sizes, placing them on the table she began to open them up. Smelling the food Willow opened her eyes and slowly began to sit up, "I don't think I got the chance to tell you my name yet...." she shook her head eyeing the feast before them. "My name is Anastasia, but you can just call me Anna. Oh, and if you're worried don't be...it's just me. I don't have anyone else here with me, so you two can breathe easy while you are here." 

Xavier did start to relax more as he took some of the pizza, he hadn't had a real meal in weeks. This was almost like a dream and he didn't want to wake up from it. After not having it food and warmth were something he'd never again take for granted. Willow took a bit and seeing that she was having a hard time moving Xavier just brought some pizza to her and moved a chair beside the cot. Smiling Willow began to eat starting with the breadstick that Xavier had brought her.

"Now that spell you were talking to me about, it sounds more like a curse than a spell. Love spell books are sometimes like that, and the people who sell them well they might help put in a curse or two without thinking about who they are going to sell" Anna said as she took a bite of her pizza."Now if it is a curse I may not be able to help you, and if it's the one I am thinking of there really isn't anything to be done about it" Eating more of the pizza she tried not to look at them like they had no hope. "Now I am going to go annoy some people I want you guys to finish and go get cleaned up. If you need anything just say so, " she pointed towards another room. She then walked out of the room to make some calls, and she was not going to be put on hold this time.

"Anastasia! You better have a good reason for needing me right now, and saying that you miss me is not on the list" a half-naked man yelled while trying his best to not kill someone for interrupting his good time.

"Remember that curse you swore up and down to us that you had gotten every single copy of and destroyed them?" He nodded," Well, in the other room I may have two people who are under that very curse so can you tell me how that is possible" Anna looked like she was ready to kill.

"Dammit! And I was going to go out tonight," running his fingers through his hair."Alright, let's call up someplace for them to go. We will need someone to take them and they will need new clothes. Also, check them out physically. We don't need to send someone out covered battle marks. How old are they," He asked her picking up his phone and bringing some papers to him.

"The girl is 15 and the boy is 17, this happened a year ago, so they look well they you like scared little rabbits," Anna said with unease in her voice. "Not only that there might be something wrong with them but I can't get close to them."

"Alright, alright, we will need to check for amber alerts. If these are kids then we might have some trouble, but there are some ways around some of the big ones, and we will need to get a cleanup crew out to where they lived to get that book."

"I'll find out where they lived, just call and send everyone for the rest," Anna never liked this part, "No I am at the store, Alex? Well he's great. Thanks, I am sorry you know" and with that, he hung up. She did miss Alex from time to time, but not enough to give up what she has, a home, a business, and some of the best relationships with the nearby werewolf pack. It's just too much to give up, for that stupid jerk of a brother.
