Dante POVExhausted, agony, broken. These were the words to describe my current state. The witch hunters didn't take it easy with me. They all kept hitting every part of my body and just like their leader had said, I could only help but stare at my blood, which was splattered across the place.Despite the beatings, I was committed to never going to reveal the witch's coven to them. I was determined further to leave this place and return back to the coven. The door suddenly burst open and the witch hunters stepped back in alongside their leader, whose name I had learnt to be Colton."Such beautiful art I must say." Colton's statement was referenced to the witch hunters. "I am glad that he is in this state." His smiles immediately dissipated, while he leaned down at me."You can be saved from this torture my friend. I don't need you to do anything other than letting us know where these witches are hiding." He stood back up and walked up to another witch hunter, grabbing something from h
Nadia POVArriving at my hut, I sighed feeling already exhausted from the day's event. While I lit up the candles across the room, I couldn't help but reminisce about my conversation with the old witch. It was quite odd knowing that my destiny has been written, and while I am curious to know what it could actually be, my gaze went across to the book of shadows on the table.There was something about the book's energy. I could feel a pull to the book and furthermore, the urge to open it up. Despite the urge, I remained calm, realizing the fact that it could be actually dangerous.I walked over to the kitchen and set up my plates, ready to feed on the meat I had cooked earlier. Trying to scoop a morsel into my mouth, the desire to open the book returned, and this time, I couldn't hold back. This was beyond being in suspense and it led me to drop my plate of meat and eventually flee the kitchen.I rushed back to the couch and stared at the book for a moment; what could possibly be inside
Third POVAnabelle stood before the council locked in chains. From afar, she could see the face of her best friend Alina, all cloaked up in disappointment. After the incident, Alina had no choice than to perform her duty, knowing it would be sacrilegious to harbor a murderer."How could you Anabelle?" The queen asked staring disapprovingly at Anabelle. She had been dumbfounded by the news of the killing. "Whatever had come over you?"Anabelle hadn't figured out the right words to portray her thoughts. She couldn't imagined herself taking a member of her coven's life. Regardless, it couldn't bring to life the Witch doctor."I think I have an answer to that." Everyone turned towards the far end of the council, where Anabelle's beloved cousin stepped in graciously with a smirk directed to Anabelle.Anabelle knew that the news would thrilled Imade and her cousin longed for her to be dead and the opportunity had presented itself."Earlier this morning, I had come to check up on my cousin a
Dante POVExhausted. That was simply the words to describe my current state as I stared up and watched the raising sun. All through the night, I was moving ensuring that they never catch up with me. I knew I needed to go back to the coven, but it would only be feasible if I was able to get them off my track.Dropping down from the valley, the entire environment was new and everyone seemed not to have woken up from their sleep. However a little flicker of light coming from what seemed to be a bar, caught my attention. Surely whoever owns the bar was certainly awake and letting people know about it.Approaching the bar, I set my eyes on a black truck, which had a symbol of riffle on it. I became conscious of the fact that the owner of the bar would likely be a witch hunter as well. Regardless of his status, I didn't care, I needed water to stay alive and that would be my only source of strength to continue on my journey.Opening the door, I noticed a figure at the counter cleaning up a
Nadia POVDay turn into night and night into day as I walked through the deep forest. I had so many things going through my mind. The look from Alina few days ago had reality dawning on me. I had been naive enough to fall for a simple speech from an old witch.Reaching the brink of the river, I took a moment to rest and while I laid my head in the ground, staring into the sun which was little less scorching, I wondered whether I would evet see Alina and so many persons in my pack again. It was apparently looking impossible, but it didn't meant a thing.Closing my eyes and inhaling the fresh air from the trees, a figure suddenly appeared in my vision, blocking the path of the sun and before I could react, I began to feel dizzy and eventually passed out.Cold water splashed across my face, bringing me back to reality. It was night and the set of people standing before me had the look that depicted they were witches. I couldn't move as I felt my hands tied against a tree."Who are you gu
Third POVThe night was dark and still, with only the soft glow of the moon illuminating the forest. The boundary guards of the Valve Coven stood at attention, their eyes scanning the tree line for any sign of danger. They had heard stories of other Coven trying to invade and claim their territory, but they were determined to protect their home.As they stood guard, the sound of yells filled the air. At first, it was distant, but it quickly grew louder and closer. The guards exchanged worried glances, their hands gripping their weapons tightly. They knew that whatever was coming was not friendly.The yelling grew louder and louder until it was right upon them. Suddenly, a coven of witches emerged from the trees, their eyes glowing with fierce determination.They had weapon stacked across their body and it was a terrifying sight to behold. Their attire was matted and unkempt, and their eyes glowed with a sinister hunger. They moved with deadly grace, each step calculated and precise.
Third POVThe confusion that followed was without parallel.The morning after the attack, Valvet Coven was thrown into confusion and despair. Things had been going smoothly in the morning, but that all changed when the guard who had been spared from the invading witch ran into the mansion, panting and covered in blood.The guards who were stationed at the door wouldn't let her in easily, having seen her state. They tried to prevent one of their own, which caused a mild scuffle. She still managed to bully her way into the mansion in a bid to see the queen.She fell at the feet of Valve Coven's Queen, who was in the middle of listening to a complaint from one of her the member from her pack. The queen's expression was one of shock and horror as the guard began to speak, her voice filled with fear and urgency."We were attacked at the boundary my queen." She said, her breaths coming in fast gasps. "They attacked us," the guard repeated, her voice trembling. "They killed everyone but thei
Nadia P.O.V."Great to have you once again in Oakwood" The King indicated as we walked with him towards the chamber."Please do have your seats" He gestured once we arrived at the well crafted chamber."We are here because we have no where to go. I understand that it is important that everyone pays homage to you, and we apologize for not doing that quite on time." Dante explained in a rather calm voice as the room seemed to echo everything he said."It is never a miracle that both of you are here. I need you to understand that for over the past two days now, we have been waiting for you all to come and now that you are here, we would be glad if you kindly introduce yourselves" His statement caught me off guard. It became less confusing that Bella and her brother had ushered us into their place."My name is Dante and this is Lil.. Anabelle." I rolled my eyes at Dante as he attempted to place another identity to my name.The door suddenly burst opens and a huge figure stepped inside the
