"This pendant is enchanted." She explained. "It warms up when I need to talk to her; every member of the Sisterhood has one when they travel for order related work." The sound of breaking branches alerted them of the arrival of the second witch before Ginny could make any further inquiries. She was a little shorter than Astrid and her skin was dark; her eyes were the color of copper, Ginny realized startled. She also noted both women were very beautiful, in an ethereal sort of way. Kind of spooky too, she added.
"Did you call, Astrid?" She asked, her voice warm. Michaela was around the same age as Astrid, no more than twenty five, but she looked more open, more relaxed. Her copper gaze travelled on Ginny with interest. "Is this the tamer you were talking about? Have you already told her then?" Tell me what? Ginny wondered. That I'm a tamer? I thought she believed I was already aware of that.
"I tried but then I found her putting a dragon to sleep." Astrid stated humorously. Michaela just seemed confused while Ginny looked at her shoes self consciously. "With her voice." Astrid clarified, making the other woman gasp.
"A siren too?" Ginny lifted her eyes from the ground to find Michaela looking at her in confusion. "That's… unusual." She then smiled at Ginny, a real warm smile that put the girl slightly at ease. "And what is your name?" She asked.
"I'm Ginny."
"Well Ginny. We have a proposition for you." Michaela announced. Ginny just stared back blankly.
"Do you know what the Sisterhood is?" Astrid asked. Ginny nodded. "After I saw you this morning, I contacted our leader and she wants to offer you a position in our ranks." Ginny's eyes widened like saucers.
"A what?" Michaela laughed as Astrid continued.
"If you were to agree, you would be marked as a novice for a year. Then, should you agree to join us, you will be given all the information about our order and will perform the initiation ritual." Astrid stated. "You have a year to change your mind, no strings attached. But this is a one in a lifetime experience and a chance to learn and harness your abilities with the only people in the world that can help."
"I know it sounds overwhelming at first." Michaela interjected. "But it really is the chance of a lifetime; once in the Sisterhood you can go on with your normal life but you'll have someone to turn to when the need rises. You're young now and your talents haven't evolved yet. But you'll grow up; these gifts tend to be… burdening at times." He eyes clouded over and Ginny wondered what her gift was. "Take that from someone who knows."
Ginny forced her mind to stop reeling for a few moments so she could think about what was happening. She had just been offered a place in the Sisterhood, to train gifts she didn't even know she had, up to moments ago. It was crazy to say yes. Then again, if she could control her gifts, she would be able to take care of herself. She wouldn't have to lie on a cold floor of a secret chamber waiting to die. She would never be used again. She wouldn't feel helpless. And she could prevent others from being found in her place.
"We understand if you need time. But bear in mind we'll be leaving at sundown and…"
"Yes." Ginny said, looking at the two women. Michaela smiled while Astrid just looked at her surprised.
"Yes? Just like that?"
"I've been in a situation once, when I couldn't defend myself; I felt the same pull I did today, but I didn't know what it was." She explained. "People's lives were endangered that day, including mine. Maybe if I knew what was happening I could have prevented that. I want to learn how." That was probably not the explanation they were expecting from a barely thirteen year old girl but they both seemed to find it more than sufficient. Astrid moved closer to her smiling.
"Then we'll be more than welcome to have you." She muttered something in a language Ginny couldn't understand and her right palm shined light blue. Ginny's eyes widened. "Don't be afraid." Astrid told her and touched her forehead. Easy for you to say, Ginny thought, trying not to consider how fast everything was going. A wave of power traveled from the spot she had touched to her whole body and a strange warmth surrounded her left shoulder blade. Later, when she'd look at her back in the mirror, she would find a black rune tattooed at that spot.
"Done." Michaela stated as the warmth subsided. Ginny couldn't say she felt any different.
"And now?" She asked the two women. They looked at her smiling.
"Now you wait. In a year's time we'll come to find you for the ritual and your initiation, if that's your choice." Astrid said.
"So, we will be knocking on your door next summer." Michaela added, laughing.
"There will be no need." Ginny stated, smiling back, the beginnings of a plan forming in her mind. "I'll be here, I believe." The two women nodded and resumed walking back to the sanctuary; Ginny asked them not to tell her brother yet and they assured they weren't going to. She was afraid of how her family, especially her mother would react if she knew; she might even try to convince her otherwise and Ginny couldn't have that. She had her own secret now, the girl mused. And she would make the best out of it.
