Chapter 147: She was coming for them
***AURHOR’S NOTE: SORRY I’VE BEEN AWAY. MY DAD CAME TO TOWN AND I WAS SPENDING TIME WITH HIM. BUT BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED UPDATES***
A chill settled in the air around them as they all stared at Violet. The hostility that sat under those words.
"So, who’s the first target?"
Was deeply unsettling.
Those were things you could usually expect to hear from Ash, but not from Violet.
The girl at this table was someone entirely knew to them.
"Um, this is the village of the she-wolf you interrogated. It’s closest, and currently the only lead we’ve got." Lilith announced.
Violet shot her a sharp look "That’s the only lead? There’s nothing else?"
"Nothing has come up with our spells or scrying. It’s like she’s been completely shielded from us. I don’t know how they’re able to keep her hidden, but they are. The other seers, they can’t see her either. She’s just gone." Arya admitted dejectedly. Guilt blanketed her voice. Arya felt like she failed Violet and Odette. And herself too. She was such a powerful witch and belonged to a powerful coven, yet there was no magic she could use to locate her future daughter in law.
"We did find they are similar stones to what was used to kidnap you all the years ago. They’d been tweaked to transport more people or further distances, or both. I did also discover the other stones left behind where stones designed to imprison powerful beings." Jeremy offered "It means, someone planned long and hard for this, and someone knew they were trapping something strong. The magic that fused these stones, it’s no novice working with them, they’re the real deal."
