The Alpha's Keeper

L: Stella

Seraphim stopped the car, and everyone got out looking in all directions, there was not a single human in the whole city, and that caused great anguish.

Edith continued to feel that strange sensation when she, lighting her eyes in black, said, “Soror!”

The image of her sister appeared. She was agitated and seemed surprised to see Edith when she asked, “Edith, you didn’t go into the city, did you?”

But Edith, somewhat agitated, said,“Yes, we all just entered!”

Stella snorted in frustration and, looking in all directions, her projection whispered.

“Listen, you must keep your guard up, the humans of this place were transported to a pocket dimension, and the city was locked up for all those outside of magic. There are witch hunters, and they come for me. If you are here, they will go for you...”

Edith looked at her companions and then asked, “Where are you?”

Stella, breathing hard, said, “I’m in the central tower, and we’ll see you on the top floor if you can avoid the fighting. Good luck, sister!”

And with those words, she disappeared. Edith looked in all directions and could not see a soul.

If what her sister said was true, they were in serious trouble. Seraphim tried to contact Eleonor, but the link that the witch had made had fallen, the barrier around the city was strong, and it would probably not let them communicate with the outside.

In just minutes, they were all in great danger.

Edith took a deep breath and, with her eyes, looked for the central tower. From where they were, they could see it in the center of the city and seeing her companions, she said, “For now, let’s meet my sister!”

Nate, looking in all directions, said, “Come on! I will try to locate the enemies and more information!”

Seraphim looked at him curiously, and the man said with assurance, “Don’t worry, and they won’t catch me!”

Saying that very calmly, he entered in his own shadow. That ability was perfect for stealth, and he calmly disappeared. Seraphim looked at Edith and, nodding, and both witches went into action.

They began to move with speed as he tried to keep calm. Seraphim wondered if the town was crawling with witch hunters because they hadn’t seen any yet when a shot rang out in the distance, and Edith’s leg felt the impact.

Seraphim saw her friend fall, and with speed, she said, “Fosam!”

A huge trench appeared around her, covering them from possible shots. Edith looked at her leg, but more than fear or pain, her eyes showed a lot of anger.

She forcefully touched her wound and put her hand into the hole, and she pulled out the bullet to say, “You think you’re pretty good, don’t you, bastard!?”

When she said that, she got up and, putting the bullet between her fingers, said, “Redi to Dominum Suum!”

The bullet was fired from her hand and flew all the distance to the point where it had come from. The hunter was watching her through the sight of his pistol when the bullet flew all that distance until it was embedded in his face.

Seraphim looked at Edith’s leg and touched it said, “Sanat!”

But it did not close. Edith shook her head and got up, and they began to run towards the central tower. Seraphim did not understand why the girl’s wound did not heal when she said, “What the f**k? Why doesn’t it close!?”

Edith, breaking part of her shirt, completely covered her wound, wrapping it around her while she said when she advanced, “It is Quarantine metal, and they do a special process to limit the magic around it. All of their weapons have that”

Seraphim saw it, and strong fear crept up her spine as they advanced as they felt movement in front of them. On the rooftops around the street, several hunters appeared.

Many of them pointed in the direction of the witches with crossbows or rifles, and many smiled.

In the street in front of Edith and Seraphim, a huge man appeared. He had a strange branch in his mouth and smiled, while behind the young woman, three women with swords covered the exit.

They were completely surrounded when on the roof, on the right side, a girl in shorts and a white shirt came forward. She was smiling, had a cowboy hat and a Winchester rifle on her shoulder.

Seeing the witches, she spat when she said, “Look at what luck brought you! Two more witches! We came for one, and we will have three… We’re in luck today, guys!”

All the hunter smiled when Edith, who had torn her white shirt to cover her wound, took it off. Staying in a top and looking at what it looked like the leader of the hunters, she said, “I hope you brought hundreds of hunters because you will need them!”

The woman gave a loud laugh when she, looking at Edith, raised her hand and caused all the hunters to point directly at both of them. Edith stared at her, and the huntress, with a smile, asked, “Do you have the last word, witch?”

And Edith, smiling, nodded when she said, “Yes! Ingenti Flamma!!“

Her eyes glowed black from her body, several marks appeared, and she spread her hands, throwing fireballs in all directions.

The fireballs were moving so fast and flying in all directions that the Hunters had to move to avoid being hit by the flames, and the huge man in front of them smiled and tried to move forward, but Edith looking at him, threw a fireball in his direction forcing him to run for cover.

Edith looking up at the sky, said, “Tentotium Fumigat!!”

And with those words from her body, an enormous amount of smoke appeared.
