Anna felt shaken... She had wanted to keep Anya from he and Sebastian. Now though, it was looking like that wasn't an option but if she admitted seeing Anya then he would know about her remembering more than she was letting on. She bit her lip, her friends were more important than her fears of her own emotions so she took a breath. "I... saw Anya... last night." 

She cut him off before he could ask her about the dream, "It wasn't a dream... I really saw her. Serena was there, Anya threatened her and made it pretty clear she wanted us all back as a 'family' again... I didn't say anything because I didn't want Sebastian running off and doing something stupid, getting himself killed. I... also didn't want to be the one to break that kind of news..."

She tucked her hair behind her ear, "I didn't want you knowing because I was worried you'd see it as your duty to go after her and we aren't ready... We still have the stake training coming up, we know the basics but we'd... we'd get ourselves killed. I don't even know if she is alone, the Strigoi have been traveling in packs." She knew he was probably going to be angry but she'd done what she'd thought was best for all of them.

She spotted Basil and looked at Gunner guiltily one more time, "Don't tell Seb... you know he'd do something stupid and he has been so happy lately..."

She took off after Basil, calling her name.

Sebastian smiled, enjoying her laughter. "Well, I suppose you pass. I don't think the Guardian actually expected me to actually fight back either... most Moroi probably still freeze up despite the lessons."

He ran a hand through his hair, "I wonder why they're attacking this early in the year though... it makes no sense. You haven't even been through stake training..."

Jordan shook his head, "I didn't know her..." As she excused herself he shrugged, "I don't have a ward... I'll just follow you around as a far guard for today till they figure out what to do with me... If you don't mind."

He sighed, "I feel bad for their family though..."
