SAUL AND ANYA WATCHED AS THE glass shattered and Terra rushed forwards, throwing things off the doors.
"Terra! What are you doing?" Anya asked, rushing over to the teary eyed girl who was obviously distressed.
"We're hiding when we should be fighting," she said and Anya shook her head, moving her away from the things.
"We'll fight when we have to. We can't put lives at risk," Anya explained and Terra looked at her with defeat.
"They already are and the only way to stop them is to kill those things," she said and Anya knew she was talking about Sam.
"Thats not as easy as you think sweetheart, I know you're scared for Sam, but we can help him," she explained.
She hated that Terra was going to have to sit around and do nothing whilst her brother died, Anya hated it too, but it was something that haf to be done.
Glass shattered and a Burned One fell from the ceiling, Farah rushing to it before it tore through the school.
"What just happened?" Terra questioned and Anya furrowed her brow, not knowing how to answer that question.
"They're leaving," Farah stated as the Burned Ones left, leaving them alone.
"They're all moving together, like they're following something," Saul explained as him and Anya walked over to Farah.
"Wheres Bloom?" Farah asked and she ran away, leaving to go and find Bloom.
It must have been half an hour later when they received the news from Farah. Anya rushed over to Sam, Terra, Ben and Musa as she heard that the Burned One had been defeated.
"Oh my god," she said and the girls all hugged, Anya smiling at them.
"Took you long enough," Sam said with a groan, looking at Anya who just smiled at him.
"I can't deal with your sacracm right now Sammy," she said as she gently pulled him into a hug, kissing him on the forehead.
Saul smiled at her, knowing that when - if - they had children, she would be the most amazing mother.
It was all he ever really wanted. A small family, a boy and a girl maybe, he'd be fine with just one child.
He could imagine it now, sitting around the table at Christmas with Sky and two little children who looked like the perfect combination of Saul and Anya.

THE NEXT DAY, ANYA, SAUL AND SKY walked through the grounds, looking at the aftermath of everything.
"Wheres Riven?" Saul asked and Sky rolled his eyes.
"Probably getting stoned somewhere with Dane," Sky explained and Anya chuckled, "Can't believe he knew this place was fucked way before I did, didn't even take a dead dad"
"One day, I hope to will see everything i did, everything either of us ever did was for your benefit Sky," Saul explained just as Solarian troops rolled into the entrance.
"Why are the Solarians here? I thought you told them that the attack was over," Anya said, looking at Saul confused.
The three approached the door, Solarian guards rushing out and cornering them.
"What the hell is going on?" Sky asked, reaching for his sword. Saul placed a hand on his arm, stopping him.
Queen Luna stepped out of the car door, smiling at them. "Your majesty," Anya said bitterly.
"Saul Silva," she said, approaching the three of them, "Its with a heavy heart I must place you under arrest,"
His grip around Anya's waist tightened as he looked down at her, neither of them understanding what she meant.
"For what?" Saul asked as he looked at Queen Luna again, his heart breaking as he imagined having to leave Anya and Sky here.
"The attempted murder of Andreas of Eraklyon," she explained and Anya shook her head.
"Attempted?" Sky questioned. He had just learnt Saul had killed his dad and now he knew that his dad had been alive this whole time.
The car door opened and Andreas stepped out, "Hello Sky," he said.
His voice echoed through her head and she couldn't believe she wad hearing it again after all these years.
"Dad," he whispered and Anya shook her head, her fist clenching.
She froze, her entire body tensing up at the sight of Andreas. She couldn't believe he was here and alive. But she couldn't let him see her weakness so she stood strong, her head held high.
Andreas started to walk towards his son and Anya stepped inbetween the two, her hand in Sauls.
"Take a step back Andreas," she said, staring up at him. He chuckled, looking at her like an ant he could tread on.
"Hes my son," he said, not even trying to defend the fact that he hid all these years.
"Hes more my son than he is yours," she said. In her moment of weakness, two guards rushed over and grabbed Saul.
He reached his hand to Anya, clutching a necklace in one hand. He held it out, "Take it," he said and she grabbed it.
It was a ring, the diamond ring his father gave to his mother to be specific. She looked up at him, tears in her eyes. "Don't go," she whispered as the men grabbed his arms.
He didn't try to struggle because he knew that if he did then they would make it worse.
"I love you," he said to Anya before looking over at Sky, an apologetic look on his face.
He looked over his shoulder at Anya and Sky before they pushed him into the car.
"I love you too," she yelled out after him but he resolve hardened as she saw the door slam close.
Tears streamed down her cheeks but she looked back at Andreas, shaking her head.
"Now get out of my way pumpkin," he said and Anya scoffed.
"Over my dead body, you took Saul away, you're not getting anywhere near Sky," she said, planting her feet and preparing for a fight.
He sighed before Rosalind walked out, looking at Anya who had her arms out in front of Sky, the ring in one hand.
"Sentimental like always," Rosalind said, looking at Anya and seeing the red marks around her wrists from training with Rosalind.
The lines were faint now but she could still feel the pain coursing through her.
On her back was a permanent reminder of her time in Rosalinds regime. It was a secret keeper, a small spider like mechanism that was dug into her back that stopped her from revealing Andreas' secret.
Rosalind slapped the bands on Anyas hands and she felt all her powers draining away, "You bitch," she hissed.
"Take her to the prison, maybe tomorrow she will consider my offer to stay and teach," Rosalind said and the guards took her away, dragging her off.
"I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna fucking kill you both for this - and I'll make sure you stay dead this time Andreas," she yelled out, tears streaming down her cheeks.
