Hellbound With You (WN)

As soon as the car passed through the school gates, Alicia sighed out in relief. Ezekiel did not stop the car or gave any reaction at all. So she thought that Ezekiel most probably did not notice Lilith who was there at all.

And even if he did catch a glimpse of her, Alicia told herself that there was still no way Ezekiel could have recognized Lilith in that crowd and in just a single short second, because Lilith was in her perfect human disguise. Alicia could recognize Lilith in an instant despite her disguise because she was in her spirit form and this form allows her to see through the outer disguise that was put on by any spells. But it would be very hard for any other creature even for their fellow witches to be able to recognise Lilith to be a witch.

The disguise spell Lilith used was a spell that only witch queens could cast perfectly. Even her original appearance had been changed and not only that, her powers and aura were even tightly locked down and there were no fluctuations of her powers at all. Alicia had made sure that Lilith ’s disguise was perfect before she left her. And since Lilith had been practicing the spell for quite a while now, she had finally perfected it.

Now that Alicia thought about it, the Lilith she saw a while ago really looked so human that if she could not see through that spell, she would have not even guessed Lilith was not human. With the way she looked and carried herself a while ago, no one would ever suspect that she was actually a witch.

In the past months, Alicia had made a decision and told Lilith and the other witches who were living in the Black Forest to start spreading outside of the forest. Alicia had decided on this because of the danger that might fall on them in the future. And because of the fact that in the memories she saw, all of the witches that had been killed that time were the ones living in the Black Forest. So just based off that, she had inferred that maybe it was time they did not just convene and gather just there and spread off.

Ezekiel had somehow managed to turn the Black Forest into his personal hunting grounds, and it seemed as though he must have found a way to immobilize the entire forest and that was why the witches, even the Queen, could not escape back then. That memory made Alicia decide to tell Lilith to have everyone leave the Black Forest for now and finally go outside and learn to blend in with the humans. Though it would be tough on them, they could only hope that the little hardship they are facing now would reap them more benefits in the future.

To Alicia, this was also a form of a precaution. Just so in case that one day, their enemy ends up coming after them, the witches were already scattered and not just centralised within the confines of the Black Forest itself. That way, the queen would also not be found in such an obvious place.
