Farewell

Liz stood in the kitchen of Anna’s Coven house. She’d helped heal the members of Anna’s Coven, tidy the place up and deal with the remains of the Nomads. After a brief hunt through the mind of Patience to find out a little more about this Nomad Coven and what had happened to Richard, Anna had wasted no time in putting a bullet through her head.

They quickly disposed of the bodies, able to use their Magic to leave no trace of them before they finished the clean-up of the house.

They had also retrieved the body of Richard which they planned to bury in the woods later. Such was the secretive life of the Magi.

In the end, only Richard had died, despite the best efforts of the Nomad Coven, but it was a loss that was hitting Jenna the hardest out of all of them. Liz didn’t want to stay too long, she did her bit to help out and clean up, but after that, she quietly mentioned to Anna that she had better be on her way.

Jenna had noticed her imminent departure and thanked her for everything with a hug, leaving Anna to walk her to the door.

She’d come back to London to take a view on her life, to think through the recent events in New York with Amanda and her friends. She’d thought that seeing her old home and reliving some of those memories was what she needed, but in fact that had only served to bring her mood down, to depress her. That’s not to say her past wasn’t important, it is, and it informs her future and who she needs to be, but wallowing in it was not healthy. Her past was filled with tragedy and the deaths of those who had been closest to her, but she had come out the other side and found a new life with new friends who loved her just as much. She would never forget Francesca, her sister, and she would always have the happy memories of their life together as they grew up.

She also knew that if she could speak with Fran, she knew that Fran would not want her to grieve for the rest of her life. Fran would want her to take this new
