Pearl stirred but didn't wake and the next time she did,she found herself in the clinic. There no one there or so she thought until someone hugged her
"You're fine now"came Anastesia's voice,she preferred to remain in the embrace than reminding herself of the things she saw in her sleep
"Did I sleep for too long?"she asked
"No__only dead for a day. But now you r Tues have been cut you'll no longer be seeing any of them when you soul travel"Anastesia smiled. Pearl wanted to talk but she was hushed "the healer said you shouldn't talk too much for now. I brought you your uniform and a glass of milk"Anastesia said stretching out for the glass of milk that sat on the rosewood table. Pearl accepted it gratefully and after she was through she spoke calmly "what's my blood type now?" "Fully belonging to the covenant but your talents still remains. Pearl please try not to define like the bad bloods it'd save you from trouble. We have our own rules and norms"
"When do I resume?" "Today if you can meet with the guidance and counseling in an hour"
"I love you"she said to the woman who smiled brushing her hair lightly like a true mother would "I love you too"
***
The giant looking glass was conjured by the definers and soon Ellie was called to stand Infront of it. The other waited a few distance away waiting silently as all the chats were said and then the brown cloth that was used to cover it from view was pulled down like a wig coming off from a bald head. Ellie opened her eyes when she heard startled gasps from behind. She was surprised herself when she saw her reflection__it wasn't hers but that of a lady about twenty five or so. Klaus' lips parted while Anastesia was able to find her tongue "Geny!"
Jury's heart sank...well well he was still going to die anyway.. mostly because he was starting to admire Ellie. Her curious blue eyes were what she fancied despite her young age and she was doubtlessly beautiful. Ellie turned back to look at them, Graciana swallowed then cleared her throat as if to clear the tension "all is well. All is ..very well indeed"she stated. Ellie was worried now and so Jury spoke "we'll take you Goodman's rest then maybe you'll start the college"
... Graciana and Klaus were now alone outside,she had been thinking severely of everything__everythung that concerned Klaus who stood quietly beside her
"Will you still love her?"she blurted finally, Klaus turned to look at her face. "Love her?the affection I showed Geny was nothing of love" "but you slept with her here and even In hell"
He sighed "Grace, let's not go into this again" her cheek was stained remembering something she concealed at the back of her mind "I knew you didn't take me serious but the night we shared is rather hard to forget" "but I told it was going to be one owl night fling and that was it"he stated as fact,she put on her I-am-in-command tone that Klaus was familiar with.
"I know. I just wanted to let you know but have it in mind that I love you even after I heard of your escapedes with the other women folks"with that she walked away Klaus to stand alone by a large statue of a wailing woman almost striped naked. He couldn't help but sigh women,will they ever understand?
Central coven
Hilda,head of the central coven and head of the twelve most powerful witches was just done dispatching bad bloods to the major cities when four of the twelve heads came in visibly annoyed. " A report from the cephines! I told you about this Hilda, but you gave no heed to it"her sister, Olivia said
"And what was that?"she asked rather nonchalantly but Hilda ignored it
"Give us permission to work on the major cities but you wouldn't listen and now one girl;Pearl,has cut ties with us. She literally knows all the techniques and she'll soon work against us"
Hilda looked at her "what do you propose?"
Holda when of the twelve spoke before Olivia could "the main people of covenant, isn't there a way we can cause confusion"
Hilda frowned,she knew Pearl_Pearl Strawman,daughter of Helena and slave to the Cephine head. Helene was rather devoted unlike her daughter "I am so provoked and I am ready to unleash it on anything"Olivia said angrily "oh poor Olivia_well_i can take you to the discipline unit. We have a lot of defaulters there"
Olivia smiled wickedly, a sadistic pleasure flowing through her veins "how far can I go?"she asked their head. "I want the thirteen of then dead. Share their bodies to the others for their rituals. Olivia sweetie I play my cards close to the heart,I will soon let you know what I intend to do but first complete your task"
Olivia bowed,she only did when she found delight in her sister's orders and soon she found her way down to the cell in which the sneering witches stayed in their dark form wailing and pleading for forgiveness. They all had their necks chained. Olivia took up a little knife "you thought going back on your word would be easy to escape?"she asked stroking a girl who cringed nervously from the touch "forgive me senior_i was only tempted I'll never do it again"the girl said "of course you won't"she said acidly shoving her into her throat and getting hold of her tongue. The girl tried to struggle but dlshe was more hurt instead and soon the cold blade sliceh through depriving the girl of a taste sense. Blood flowed quickly like spilled jam then the blade came down again and the girl was dead. The others realized their fate and panicked yelling and shrieking at the top of their lungs which soon increased to a blood curdling scream as each punishment was matted savagely on them until they were nothing but dead piles of bodies.
Lena,slave to Margaret listen quietly to their discussion as she washed her mistresses feet. She was aware they were talking about Pearl;her sister and in a way she was worried for her though provoked that she traded all of them for the covenant__the committee who were wholly against them. "The mother of the rebel wishes to deal with her herself"Alice was saying and Anna shrugged "but how will she, covenant has no connection with us"
"She's only safe for now. A device will soon lead her to her own pit"Flora,a pretty blonde said fondling with a candle stick "and the other rebels?" Elizabeth spoke in a displeased manner" " it's a matter of time Elizabeth, most high knows what to do"Magdalene replied "Klaus" Holda stated in disgust. "Ahh__that one? he's rather with the covenant"Mary said "infact the entire of hell is with them"Priscilla the youngest of them spoke finally
"On the contrary, I am working on Dulman. Soon we will be getting sorceries from them"Hilda said coming in with Olivia. The women rose in greetings while Lena knelt nervously with her head low_she feared Olivia than any of them. She was__dreadful but some how she realized her mother was more stone cold than she was
"The demon is rather willing to give us their best powers because he loves me"she smiled, the women laughed wickedly knowing what Hilda meant. Hard slap stopped all of them and took their attention to Lena who was already crying, Olivia had slapped her
"You worthless bit of shag how dare you remain here as we speak?" She dared not reply or it'd cost her head. Hilda lifted her head rudely"Pearl's sister. This one is rather a loyal dog"she said. Lena quivered
"Your sister is unaware of the problem she brings upon herself and when I finally have her__"she paused and tsked "__i will be first to drink her blood"she threw her face harshly that the girl fell
"Get out!"Olivia ordered and she obeyed quickly. "The covenant is secured with all of them in one place"Hilda went on "so I'll pick some of us to relocate,build up devices to force the covenant brothers away from them. I know Graciana will not hesitate to give out orders to them."
"The covenant brothers are not the only strong ones there especially now that they have that casualty with them"Elizabeth spoke
"I know. I want Klaus at Selevania so that he won't get in touch with the others immediately"
"The reform head and the young man?"Priscilla asked referring to Anastesia and Jury "I will share you to work on them. The young stag will surely be easy to handle"
"Please let me work on Anastesia. I know just how to get her" Grace said evily. Hilda looked at her "how?"
She chuckled in a sinister manner "children" was the response
..Lena finally hid from view running down the damp steep stairs so that the women will be unaware of her prying. She was worried for Pearl and it was because of her that she was still alive. Cold shivers ran down her spine as she thought of involving herself. Pearl must have gone for a reason but she doubted she was fine wherever she was. Pearl had always spoken of dying with a worthy curse and at that point she thought if being a slave was being worthy could I do something? She thought leaning her back on the wooden door
Could I do something? She asked again and this time she lifted her eyes with certainty. It was not without hope__just a little glint of hope..
