Hellbound With You (WN)

Alicia had decided to wear a black cloak to conceal her hair. She didn ’t want other witches to see the changes in her. That would further complicate matters, as even she did not know what was truly happening, much less explaining to the others in detail. There would definitely be loads of questions coming her way if she were to allow it. Everything was getting confusing and what Zeres told her bugged her to no end. She found it extremely hard to believe. But then, the fact that he was willing to take her with him to see for herself if he ’s saying the truth made her feel even more confused.

In the end, despite the suspicion and confusion, she could only decide to go along with him in search for that fabled cave that would restore all her lost powers. She had no choice and she had no reason not to go. It was better than confining herself inside the cavern and let her body weaken day after day as more of her powers are drawn out.

However, what she didn ’t expect was the presence of Ezekiel in the Black Forest. She heard he was leaving his kingdom a few days ago so why was he here?

With a questioning gaze, Alicia approached the men. Her eyes fell on the red-haired vampire for a moment. ”I didn ’t know you have company, Zeres. ” She said as she returned her gaze back to the stoic man nonchalantly standing before her.

”They ’re going to join us in this journey, Alicia. ” Zeres answered, causing Alicia to whip her head towards him, even more surprised, confused and suspicious now.

Questions filled her eyes but she didn ’t dare to probe further right there and then, knowing that the witches were still gathered around them and their eyes and ears are all on Zeres, Her and the vampires. She would speak more on this with Zeres and this vampire prince later once they were without prying eyes and ears. Slightly lifting her hood, she raised her eyes to look at her subjects and Alicia slowly swept her gaze over everyone, looking at their faces as if committing them to memory.

The witch queen then spoke and told the witches that she would be leaving the forest to embark on a special journey. When a witch suggested that she should be taking along the two best fighters of their tribe with her, Alicia declined, telling them that there was no need as she had Zeres with her. The witches could only agree, knowing that there was no one else that could protect their queen better than the immortal Zeres.

While Alicia was talking with the witches, Zeke and Lucas had already left the Black Forest.
