Not long after, the heavy wooden door burst open.
A cold-faced woman strode inside, followed by three men.
It was Akira, the same demon who had killed the two men holding Leila captive.
One of the men beside her was the wolf who had seen Wanda when she first arrived in the forest.
"There she is," he said, pointing at Wanda.
Akira's eyes narrowed. "Take her."
Chaos erupted.
Serenya rushed in front of Wanda, fighting with everything she had to protect her. But the three men quickly overpowered the witch.
Wanda knew she couldn't escape by running.he had only one choice.
Closing her eyes, she began whispering an ancient spell.
Her physical body went limp, collapsing to the floor as her spirit broke free, drifting through the air like smoke, searching for somewhere to hide.
Only Serenya could see her. Across the room, Serenya's little daughter, Leila, was hiding in the corner.
The glowing spirit drifted toward the child and disappeared into her chest.
Serenya froze.
