Hellbound With You (WN)

As soon as the two witches arrived in the Black forest, Alicia hastily headed to the crystal cavern. She had planned to speak with Zeres the moment they were back, but at that moment, Alicia had to deal with the chaos in her head. She needed to calm down and settle her mind first and foremost, or else Zeres would also begin to question what was going on with her and what was it that she had seen.

However, before Alicia could start the chant to open the secret door towards the crystal cavern, Zeres caught her wrist.

”Let go, Zeres. We will talk once I step out. Just give me a moment, please, ” she said, and gladly, even though Zeres was hesitant, he let go of her hand.

When the door opened, Zeres just stood there, silently watching Alicia ’s back as the secret door closed behind her. Zeres sunk on the ground and put his hands on his head as if he suddenly had a sudden throbbing headache.

Inside the cavern, Alicia sat on the majestic crystal throne. Her hands were on the armrests while she rested her head on the backrest. She had her eyes closed, and her silver hair was glowing around her. She looked like a moon goddess carved or preserved in the crystalized throne.

The memories that witch queens receive from their predecessor weren ’t something that could flow like a river in the current host ’s mind anytime. They were akin to water inside a pipe. If the host doesn ’t turn on the faucet, the memories will not flow out. However, there were times when something triggers the memories to come out before the host could even do a thing. And when such a thing happens without warning, it would be dangerous for the host because it could overwhelm their mind and could even mess up the host ’s mental process.

As time ticked by, the lines between Alicia ’s brows slowly disappeared. Her face was starting to relax, and it seemed she had succeeded in controlling the chaos in her head. But she still didn ’t open her eyes for another long while and remained sitting there, completely unmoving.

After an hour, her long silver lashes finally fluttered, and she opened her eyes. Her hands gripped the armrests, and the look on her face showed many contradicting emotions. She looked as though she had just watched an intense, confusing, heartbreaking, and horrifying movie she wished she never came across with.

But as the initial shock passed, Alicia looked as though she still couldn ’t figure out how to feel about it. She was horrified, yes. But there were too many questions and confusing things that made her think something was missing, that something was wrong.
