It has been two months since Abby disappeared into the shadows, away from the fallen form of her uncle. Abby Potter was currently sitting on the cliff-side with her beautiful snowy owl perched on her shoulder, gazing up into the night sky while reminiscing about everything that had happened since her disappearance and reappearance in the middle of the forest in Northern Canada.

~~~~~~~~

FlashBack

Her beautiful snowy owl startled Abby awake the next morning of her change. Taking stock, Abby soon found herself next to a beautiful black longbow that was roughly the same size as she was, with it was a black and silver quiver filled with all kinds of arrows. Furthermore, she found a small bag with unlimited space, with some food and hunting clothes, and a grimoire of some kind. Opening the book, Abby found a letter attached inside, which read:

Ms. Potter,

Thank you for bringing to my attention the issue of one Tom Marvolo Riddle, and for your part in rectifying this matter, I have given you a grimoire that you will find most illuminating as well as a weapon based on your magical essence.

Good luck and until we meet again.

Thanatos

This confused her. Why would anyone give her all these supplies? Abby was someone who would never turn down such a wonderful gift, even if she believed that she did not deserve it.

Looking up, Abby found her owl perched on her shoulder, with 3 letters tied to her talons. With some trepidation, Abby removed the letters from Hedwig only to find that the letters were from Dumbledore, Sirius, and Gringotts. Abby took hold of the first letter, pulled it out from its envelope and read:

Dear Miss Potter,

Please accept my deepest apologies for my mistake regarding your placement at the Dursleys. I deeply apologize for not fulfilling your parents' wishes regarding your placement at the Dursleys.

I let you down, which was the last thing I ever wanted to do. I can now see how upsetting this whole situation has been for you and understand that you are now dealing with the consequences that will haunt you forever and for that, I am truly sorry.

It was my error, and I take full responsibility for this. I made the mistake of believing that you would be saved and loved at the Dursleys. But I see now how truly wrong I have been. I never wanted you growing up being hurt and hoping to live long enough to see another day. This should have never happened.

I promise you here and now that I have taken all necessary measures to ensure that your aunt will be punished; you do not have to worry about being punished for Vernon's death. I have taken care of clearing your name and ensured that you are free to live your life as you should have.

It is highly important to me you find love and happiness; I have asked the goblins to send you your belongings that were left at the Dursleys. I would like for you to travel and stay safe. I do not think you should return yet. You need to find your inner self first.

This is my first step to regain your trust. I would like you to forget Voldemort for now and only think of yourself. You need to be selfish occasionally.

I once again would like to apologize for everything that had happened and hope that one day you would find it in your heart to forgive an old man.

Sincerely,

Albus Percival Brain Dumbledore

Reading this letter, Abby could only think of one thing; 'He knew what sort of people they were, and yet he did not help me.' She was angry and hurt because of this, but she also knew that one day she would forgive him. After all, he was a sort of grandfather to her.

Taking a breather to calm her emotions, Abby moved on to the next letter that read:

Greetings Lady Potter-Black,

We at Gringotts would like to congratulate you on achieving your Creature Inheritance earlier.

You are now considered an adult in the eyes of magic and the ministry; this allows you full access to your Family Vaults and you can now use magic without any problems.

Please find enclosed all your belongings that Professor Dumbledore requested we send to you.

You now have full access to the Potter and Black family vaults in any country. Enclosed is a list of all Gringotts' locations. Please ensure to visit one of the locations as soon as possible.

Good luck and may your enemies fall by your blade.

King Ragnarök

Head of the British Isles

Setting the letter aside, Abby removed the miniature trunk from the envelope, as well as the list of locations. Pushing some of her magic into the miniature trunk, Abby hoped to resize it into its original state.

Abby soon opened her trunk. She needed to ensure that all her belongings were in it. What she found within shocked her; she now had more stuff than before. Maybe she should read her godfather's letter first. It might give her an idea of why she received new stuff.

Opening the letter, she began to read:

My beloved pup,

If you are reading this, then something terrible has happened, and do not worry, I am still alive. I was informed by the Goblins that you went through your creature inheritance early, and for that to happen, you would have been close to death and that worries me.

I will have a serious discussion with Dumbledore about your life being in danger like this, but for now, I am happy that you are still alive. Please promise me that you will stay alive, little one. I cannot lose you.

Now, I know you are somewhere in America. James did tell me that you will most likely end up there for training and finding yourself once you go through your inheritance.

I know you need time alone, but I will not forsake my godfather duties now that I am free. I have asked the Goblins to fill your trunk with a brand-new wardrobe both muggle and magical. You will also find a magical mirror that your father and I used to communicate with. Just say Padfoot and I will always answer. I have also instructed them to add the Potter and Black grimoires - I want you to learn as much as possible about your heritage.

My sweet girl is safe, be happy, and beloved.

Your loving Godfather

Sirius Black

PS. I will visit you once every month to test your magic skills and help train you in any way possible.

Folding the letter up, Abby went back to her trunk. Within the trunk, she found the new close Sirius wrote about, as well as the mirror and both grimoires. She also found her invisibility cloak, the marauder's map, and her photo album. She had everything important to her. This calmed her anxiety. After all, she was afraid that her aunt would take her revenge on Abby by destroying her only connections to her family.

Removing her wand from her holster, Abby used it by reshrinking her trunk and placing it safely inside the bag she received from Thanatos.

End Flash Back

~~~~~~~~

Abby never stayed long in one place, her constant moving allowed her to forget about what happened that night with Vernon and the fact that her friends had been ignoring her ever since they left Hogwarts, this had caused her to fall into depression and worsened her PTSD. Hedwig helped by being there and helping Abby with her hunting. They also completed a fully familiar bond, which allowed the two to speak with more ease.

Much has changed in the last 2 months, first was her appearance, for starters, Abby no longer looked like a perfect mixture between her mom and dad, second, she shot up and she finally gained some weight and muscle - she no longer looked like a starved teen. She quickly adapted to living in the wild, growing up in constant fear of her relatives caused her to be on constant alert–this would be an ability she would not be able to turn off, and this helped her rather quickly to become a well-rounded hunter.

Sirius arrived two weeks after Abby disappeared, but he never stayed longer than a week with her at a time. So far, he only appeared twice, every second week of the month. Sirius made the best of his time while with Abby. He helped her train in her magic, increasing her knowledge in all areas of magic, be it light, dark, or grey. He also helped her to use her creature inheritance fully, this included showing her that she had more than one form; this, of course, happens the first week of his first visit.

Her first form Sirius had her master was her human form - this would help her blend in when she needed to visit a town–yet her human form still looked different from what she looked like before the change, you would find it difficult to see her as the famous girl who lived–she no longer looked like that, Abby would find it easier to blend in the Wizarding crowd when she does return to London one day, her second form would be her base form, what Sirius called her hybrid form–this would be the form she would be the most comfortable in, this is the form she changed into when she went through her creature inheritance and finally was it her full wolf form–this form she had a beautiful sleek black coat with small specks of red - according to Sirius the black would represent her father and the red would be for her mother–this was a reminder to her that her parents would always be near her heart, in this form she was a little bigger than a dire wolf but smaller than Remus Lupin her werewolf uncle.

The Potter–Black duo also learned with Abby's change, she received new abilities that were linked to her creature side, for example, she could travel through the shadows to anywhere in the world, and she could also sense if a person or an animal is near to death–Sirius believed that this would be because of the Peverell bloodline, after all, they were children of Lord Hades.

On Sirius's second visit, the two concentrated on the history of the Gods, and finding out that these legends are true only shocked Abby a little after all. She was used to weird. Sirius did warn her to be careful around the Demi-gods and the hunters of Lady Artemis when she is in her hybrid form or wolf form, after all to them she is a Demi-monster, and they would attack first and ask questions later.

It was a week after Sirius went back to London the second time that Abby decided to move on from the northern Canadian woods and start her journey to the south, towards Maine. Abby stayed mostly in her wolf form - which her godfather named Anubis, stating that the daughter of Prongs and Tiger-Lily would need her own Marauder name. As Anubis, young Abby started her journey to the next part of her adventure, knowing that something was about to happen that would be the starting point of her destiny.
