"Sadie!" They heard someone yell from outside.
"Who on the actual earth is that?" Sadie questioned. She got up and the others followed her, even Stanley and Stanford. She opened the door and there stood a stout woman with long, fiery orange hair that matched Sadie's. It was pulled back into a bun. The woman's face was covered in wrinkles and in makeup. She wore a dark colored dress that contrasted with her light eyes and skin. "Grandma?" Sadie said, shocked.
"Yes, now are you going to let me in?" The woman said, tapping her foot.
"Uh, yes, come on in," she said, showing her inside. The woman hobbled inside and sat down at the table in the kitchen and started eating the pancakes that were there. "Grandma, why are you here?" Sadie asked.
"Because, the family was mourning and I knew you were still here, so I went looking and here you are," she said.
"What do you mean our family was mourning?" Sadie asked.
"Because they think you're dead," she said.
"What?!" Sadie exclaimed.
"Haha, about that," Shian said.
"What is it, wizard boy!" She yelled. Then she realized her mistake. She just called Shian a wizard in front of her grandmother. Who didn't know about magic, or so she thought.
"Wizard, huh?" Sadie's grandma said.
"Aren't you shocked, scared, surprised?" Sadie asked.
"No, I know about these woods," her grandmother said, "When I was younger, I fell for a young man, who happened to be a siren, he almost killed me after showing me the magic, but I escaped and met your grandpa."
"Interesting," Sadie said, "Well, back to the big problem at hand, Shian, why does my family think I'm dead?"
"Well, everyone that knows all you three thinks you're dead," Shian mumbled so nobody could hear him.
"Speak up," Sadie groaned, "I can't hear it when you mumble."
"Everyone that knows you three thinks you're dead," Shian said.
"What?!" Sadie, Beatrix, and Hayden exclaimed.
"It's true," Sadie's grandma said.
"Why do they think this?" Beatrix asked.
"Because so they weren't worried about you, I put a spell on them so they think you're dead," Shian said.
"What about after the war?" Hayden asked.
"If you're still alive, then you will go back to your families and the thought of death will be replaced with you just went on a vacation together to Europe," Shian said.
"I wish we were in Europe," Sadie muttered.
"What was that? I can't hear your mumbling," Shian mocked.
"Oh, shut up Shian!" Sadie said.
"Well, I'll go home and tell them you're alive-"
"No you don't, old woman!" Shian interrupted.
"Thanks for reminding me I'm old," Sadie's grandma muttered.
"Sorry about that," Shian apologized, "But I can't have you worrying their families, so I will take away these memories and return you home."
"Oh, no you-" and she was gone with a puff of smoke.
"Will she be alright?" Sadie asked.
"Just a little confused, but yes, she'll be fine," Shian assured.
"But all our families and friends think we're dead?" Hayden said.
"Yes," Shian said.
"My poor sister," Sadie said, remembering her little sister.
"They'll be alright, I mean, you're just their friends, siblings, daughters, son," Shian said, "Okay, maybe it's not great, but it would be worse if they were worrying about you, would you rather know somebody is dead, or worry about them being hurt, sick, or dead?"
"Probably them just being dead," Beatrix said, "I would hate being sick with that worry."
"Exactly," Shian said.
The four of them sat down at the table and finished breakfast in silence.

A/N they're dead! Not really tho😋 anyway, question time!
How did you come up with the idea for this story?
Well, let's go back to about a year and a half ago, I wanted to write a story. I knew it had to have magic because I am a , fantasy freak, and I wanted it to include animals so forest. I put those together and came up with the magic woods. And then came the prophecy because it was after I read the HoO series, so duh it needed a prophecy to be cool. And then and then came the characters and their personalities, and boom! The woods was born.😋
So, I have a question for you guys, next chapter I'm debating doing one about Kalina, tell me if I should!
Anyway, thanks for reading and remember to same questions!
