They all decided to keep their nose away and did not appear around him so that he could keep his secret hidden until he achieved his aim. That was why he was sure that those witches were not from his coven.
But it only meant that they were dark witches, witches that had betrayed their decision to start a peaceful life and had chosen underhanded methods to gain power.
Many of them are working with humans against vampires and few of them are killing humans to dip their hands in the dark magic.
If that was the case, then could these witches be supporting that bastard who had tried to lay his hands on Hazel.
The thought was enough to infuriate him and he forgot about her visit to the town and soon she would be here for the carriage.
He walked straight towards the annex building where two guards were standing and making sure no one would enter..
“What are you doing here?” they asked in a stern voice when they noticed that he was noting but a slave, their expressions changed into contempt.
“This is not a place where you can hide from your master. Run away or we will make sure that you are not even able to walk for the rest of our life.” thinking that this much would be enough to scare him, they stared at him with a cold look on their faces and showed him their weapons but this time when they stared into his eyes, they were not able to look away.
His silvery eyes were enchanting that kept them spellbounded to him.
“You will guard the door and do not let anyone enter until I come back.” they both nodded while their eyes truend blank with their pupils shrinking a bit.
He looked around to make sure there was no one when he entered.
He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on whispers of spells and followed them.
As he took the steps towards the left side of the annex building the voice enchanting the spells became stronger and he could make out the meaning of the spell.
“Illusionary spell?” but why would a witch try to create illusions at a place that was deserted.
Most of the time witches create illusions around them so that humans do not remember their face or voice. They would only remember the scene witches had created.
Some illusions are just deceptions to keep humans busy so that they would get a chance to run from there but some illusions are strong enough to keep humans in a deceptive world forever.
It could be a dream that the victim always wanted to be true. They started living in it and could not differentiate between reality and their lucid dreams anymore.
“Thud!” just when he had reached the door and opened it. A strong sound of falling statues resonated in the air.
It must have been set on the door so that the witch could know about intrusion.
He ran inside as he was sure that the witch would run away as soon as she realized someone was there. When he found a girl staring back at him with her silver eyes.
“Who are you?” she asked as she stood up in a defensive look with an ice ball in her hands.
“Your elemental power is ice?” he asked in a shocked voice. Most of the witches who had dipped their hands in black magic had lost their elemental powers.
But not only the witch was using one elemental power, she even had ice that was rare. Most of them have water or air as their power.
“What does it have to do with you?” she asked in a cold voice as she continued to wave and roll her hands as if she was shaping a weapon and soon threw a pointed ice dagger towards him.
“Hey, why are you attacking me? Can you not see that I am a witcher too?
Are you alone? That is why you are afraid? If that is the case then i can take you to my coven.” he offered as he tried to take a step closer but the girl only narrowed her eyes and attacked him once again.
If the previous attack was just to scare him so that he would leave, this was to kill him. Her killing intent was so strong that he could feel it from the other corner of the room.
“Stop that. You will tell the whole palace that we are here and then they will send a knight to kill us.
I have already told you that I am not an enemy. Are you deaf or what?” he glared at the girl who was in no mood to listen. He couldn’t even tell how old she was since witches stop growing after a time and can control their appearance.
But one thing was sure, she was taking him as her enemy when it should be the opposite.
Whenever he tried to talk to her, she threw another dagger at him and it was taking all his strength to keep himself safe.
“Look, I have the power of fire. If you would not stop, I will attack you too.” he threatened as he showed her a fireball that was forming on his hands but he did not attack her.
The girl must be scared but how did she come here? Could it be that humans had kidnapped her? That was why she was scared and only trying to protect herself?
His eyes softened and he extinguished the fire in his hands and he took a deep breath, his voice softened and so did his expressions as he tried to convince her once again.
“I know that you are scared. Being alone is scary. That is why I am asking you to come with me. I promise that we will not hurt you.. We have many like you with us, you will soon realise that I am taking you to your lost home. Come with me dear!”
