Fixing The Problems

Some Witch Problems

Anna came her home to try to talk to her aunt. She really didn't expect to see Celestia sitting with her aunt looking at her angrily. If looks could kill...

"I see you're finally home then." Elsie, her aunt told  her knowingly.

"Auntie." She began to say: "I need..."

"Well, to be perfectly honest, we don't really care what you need." Celestia told her in a low voice, making her scared. "But let me tell you what we need." She said, pointing between herself and Elsie. "An explanation as to why a 16-year-old would practice necromancy on some human."

"She knows everything, dear." Elsie said, making Anna look at them in shock.

"And why would you drag other witches in this reckless plan?" Celestia continued.

"I did it for Henry." Anna tried to explain.

"Really?" Celestia asked, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "I don't suppose he asked you to do it?"

"No." Anna said after pausing for a second.

"Because no one in their right mind would do this." She stated. "How could you possibly know which spell to use?" She asked in genuine wonder.

"Ms. Agnes." Anna said making Celestia pause for a second. Agnes was the one that helped the Time Lady to have more control over her powers, but she never encouraged her to do something as stupid as this. Why did she do it with Anna?

"She gave you the spell?" Celestia frowned.

"No, no." She denied. "I took a book from her office."

"So you're both murderer and a thief." Celestia realized.

"Murderer?" She asked, confused.

"Didn't you kill a witch to save your boyfriend's brother?"

"Just for a few minutes." Anna defended herself. "Then I brought her back using another spell."

"Do you think this is some kind of a joke? You messed up the balance. When you sacrifice a soul, that soul has to stay dead so you won't risk anything. When you don't do this, naturally, they won't hold their end of the bargain either. They're gonna claim what's been offered and then taken from them. They won't stop until they get a soul." She explained, trying her best to be calm.

"I'm going to fix this and I'm gonna save James." Anna insisted.

"Fix what?" Celestia scoffed. "There's nothing to fix. And he can't be saved either." She said. "I'm sorry but he has to go. It won't be hard considering that his body returned only, not his soul."

"Not if I pass over into the human limbo and bring his soul back." Anna still tried to find solution. "I'm half human, I can go there."

"What in the Rassilon's name are you talking about?" Celestia asked. Did she really teach her nothing at all?

"I just need someone to anchor me here on the physical plane." She insisted.

"Anna..." She sighed, taking a deep breath. "This isn't something a 16-year-old half witch could do. Even if you can, there's still gonna be a trouble. Myrna is still gonna have to die. It's not even her time yet." Myrna was the witch that Anna sacrificed in order to get James back.

"So James has to die?"

"He's already dead." Celestia said in a "duh" voice.

"This wasn't some natural disaster. Lorelei and Raven used their magic to kill James."

"It doesn't change the fact that this is supposed to happen to James. Even if the witches didn't do anything, he was still going to die that day. Maybe from a different reason but the result is same." Celestia tried to explain.
