"Do you know what you're doing, Bella?" Hermione asked. Bella glanced at her best friend. She nodded, slowly.

"I think I do I mean it's not much. Just carve the Runes in my skin and I'll do the magic, okay?" Bella said. Hermione bit her lip and took the knife from the middle of the circle they'd created in the library. There were candles set around Bella's ceremonial circle.

"I guess...should I start now?" Hermione asked, unsure. Bella nodded and she shrugged off her dressing gown, exposing the necklace around her neck and a tank top. She wore shorts and she was barefoot. She kneeled down and Hermione stood in front of her before she looked down at the book next to her. She began carving into Bella's back, creating red marks and carvings. Bella hissed in pain and tried to keep her screams of pain inside.

For the next three minutes Hermione winced as she carved the markings into Bella's skin. She could smell the blood and the scent was heavy in the air. Bella bit her lip and took out an incantation with a shaky hand before holding out her wand.

"Conjuro te

Qui eripiet

Det mihi posse

Delendi huius cantus

Eaque compedibus

Conjuro te" Bella murmured to herself, her wand glowing brightly. The magic suddenly interfered with the wards and Bella cursed to herself as she realized that it would wake Sirius and Maya. The alarms were sounding rather loudly. She could hear them running as her power swirled, summoning the Claimer's Son.

She watched as the room iced over and the door slammed open, revealing a heavily breathing Sirius and Maya. They watched in shock as an icy wind swirled and then their breath froze.

Standing in front of Bella was a pale blond man with silver eyes. He was looking down at Bella with a careful expression. He kneeled down next to Bella and tilted up her head.

"Anastasia, my sister" he said, quietly. Hermione squealed and ran up to the man and hugged him, tightly. He caught her and smiled at her. He hugged her just as tight and Bella looked up at him with shock written on her face. Sirius and Maya looked just as shocked.

"Mórrígan, a pleasure to see you always. Apollo sends his love" the man said, quietly. He tilted Hermione's head up and she leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. She grinned happily.

"I haven't seen you since last year! I mean really seen you" Hermione said. The man gave a small smile.

"Yes well. My prescence wasn't needed. Now, Mórrígan, I have business to attend to with darling Ana" he said, spitting out the nickname. Bella glared defiantly at the man and Hermione backed out of the circle. As soon as she stepped out, a barrier intensified around the two to ensure that no one would interfere.

"Thanatos."

"Anastasia. Never could do anything on your own, now could you?" Thanatos asked, his long finger tilting her head up. Bella gathered enough strength to slap his hand away.
