Chapter 2 - Part 4

Part 4

“That is your plan?”, asked Tabitha while standing from her chair after listening to Alyss for some time. “It’s more of an improvisation than a real plan. Will it even work?”

That witch girl was one of the two who actually tried to cast a curse on Alyss and Sonya, who were for now under the fake identity of Laura and Elena. Despite Eldritch convincing all of them to set aside their grudges, Tabitha and her friend Stella still hold great animosity towards the two Christian girls and won’t ever miss a chance to contradict them.

She probably knew her opinion wouldn’t help much because she lacked the necessary arguments and the Christian Girls already got the support of the four of them.

For the first time in her life, Tabitha felt betrayed and alone. She sat silently on her chair, avoiding the gaze of all her friends, not even considering to ask if Lilim would agree with her.
