Chapter 254 - Investigate

"It's a shame what happened to Clove" said a witch in a green cloak.

"What happened??" asked another witch who was wearing a lighter cloak.

"*Gasp* You mean that you don't know?" asked the witch in the green cloak

"Know what???" asked the witch, the other witch looked around as if checking whether if they were being watched or listened to.

"Stop looking around like that" said the witch in the lighter cloak, as she was annoyed.

"We are the only one's here, and besides we are inside the tent area, so nobody can hear what we are talking about from the outside" said the witch as she reminded her dumb friend, who just wanted to raise suspicion to themselves.

"Ahh yes, I forgot" said the witch as she smiled sheepishly.

"*Sigh* Just tell me what happened to Clove already" said the witch as she face-palmed herself, she would have gone and heard the news from someone more reliable, not this clown in front of her.

"Oh yes, Clove" said the witch.

"Well Clove's she's dead" said the witch

"*Gasp* No" said he the witch.

"Yes" said the other witch.

"No what happened??" asked the other witch

"She was a nice woman, although I never had any personal contact with her, but Azazel seemed really fond of her with the way he treated her" said the witch in the light cloak.

"I know right" said the witch.

"And her servant girl, was it Nia or Mia??" asked the witch

"I am sure her name is Mia" said the witch

"Anyway her servant girl was also nice, she did not call for trouble or ask superior just because she was serving the Master's wife, she was a very quiet girl" said the witch

"I agree with you" said the witch

"Poor girl, what is going to happen to her now that her master is gone??" asked the Witch.

"It beats me, I bet that Azazel would probably send her away or kill her" said the witch.

"Harsh, but that is Azazel for you" replied the witch

"A shame" said the witch

"The poor woman, I had not seen her go out for a while now, she always used to send her servant girl to run errands for her, and now poof she's gone, poor thing" said the witch in dismay.

The truth was all the other witches had nothing against Clove, she was more or less just a figure, the follower of Azazel, there was only one certain witch in particular who truly despised her.

"But what actually happened??" asked the witch in curiosity.

"It beats me, all I know is that she was found dead, and the only witness was her servant girl" replied the witch

"Apparently it happened during yesterday's crisis" said the witch.

"Are you sure that the servant girl of hers did not commit the crime?" asked the witch

"After all she was the closest one of us to her" said the witch.

"I highly doubt that, if it was true Azazel would have killed her in vengeance by now" said the other witch.

"Then just who could have done this??" asked the witch.

"That person must really not be scared of death, because when Azazel's finds out who did this, that person is already dead" said the witch.

"I tell you, the drama in this camp never ceases" said the other witch.

"First reports of some witches that died from blood loss surfaces in the camp, and the a vampire dies, and a few days ago the leader of the vampires I think his name was Liam, he also died, and now yesterday Azazel's wife dies" said the witch.

"I am sure that there is a curse of death over this camp" said the witch

"Then that curse better be broken, and the camp better be cleansed because I did not come here to die" said the other witch.

"Neither did I" said the other witch as she waved to a witch who was passing by and the witch waved back.

"You know what?? what if all the killings happening in the camp are caused by one person??" asked the witch.

"OH no, if that is true, we are dwelling with a killer, and all out lives are in danger" said the witch.

"You would think it would be the Grey girl killing us and yet it's someone from the inside doing it all" said the witch.

"I know, it's ironic is it not?" asked the witch.

"No what if Selene killed Clove?" asked the witch as she gasped.

"Are you stupid, shut your mouth!! do you want to actually get us killed??" said the other witch as she put her hand on the mouth of the witch who just said nonsense.

"Get your hand off me" said the witch

"What it's the truth, Selene never hid her disdain for Clove in the first place, so she is the main suspect" said the witch.

"I highly doubt that, Selene has fear for Azazel even more than we all have because she had worked closely with him" said the witch

"There is no way she would put her life in danger just because of her dislike for Clove" said the witch.

"She could not be that crazy" said the witch

"Yes you are right, she possibly could not be that crazy" said the other witch

"What was I thinking??" she said as she face-palmed herself.

"I do not know for you" said the other witch

"You know what we might soon get in trouble if we keep on standing here aimlessly talking" said the other witch as she noticed that it was almost rush hour, and many witches started to pass by.

"Yes I guess so" said the other witch.

"Yes so goodbye, I will see you later this evening" said the witch.

"Okay then, Oooh and remember to bring your cousin along" said the witch.

"Ha, no way, so you can drool over him, and think about feeding him a love potion?? no I would rather leave my cousin be" said the other witch.

"You are not fair, why don't you want us to be cousin in laws??" asked the other witch as she looked offended.

"Well because I know my cousin deserves better and not someone who loves to gossip" replied the witch

"Oh is that so?? well then I will keep my gossip to myself" said the witch as she looked annoyed.

"So much for trying to share the news and keep you updated, I realized that you do not appreciate it anyway" she said as she walked away angrily.

Meanwhile in Selene's office.

"Selene bad news, bad news has spread all over the camp, I cannot believe it myself" said a witch as she looked destabilized and shocked.

"Can you calm yourself down and tell me what you want to tell me, if not you can walk out the door, it's wide open" said Selene as she angrily pointed to the door, she did not look like she was in the mood for nonsense.

"Okay Selene relax" said the witch as she was annoyed.

"Anyway the news is that Clove is dead" said the witch.

"She's what????" asked Selene as she could not believe her ears.

"Selene she's dead with a capital D, cold, lifeless, gone" said the witch as she emphasized.

"Don't tell me that you didn't know??" asked the witch.

"Of course I didn't know, what kind of question is that?? I have been in here all day" said Selene

"What happened??" she asked.

"Well during yesterday's episode she was killed amidst all the chaos" said the witch.

"Oh no, oh no" said Selene.

"Selene are you alright?" asked the witch

"NO of course I am not alright, what sort of injustice is this?? Who would dare do that to the great Azazel's wife!!" said Selene

"Do they have a death wish or something??" asked Selene.

"Selene calm down" said the witch.

"No I cannot calm down, justice has to be served, an investigation needs to be carried out" said Selene.

"And I will do it personally, and make sure that the truth comes out" said Selene as she looked dead serious.

"Umm Selene I admire you loyalty, but slow down, that area is off limits" said the witch.

Ever since news of what happened spread around the camp and beyond, all witches had ignored the area in the camp where the tragedy happened, it was even nicknamed the death alley.

"Not to me it isn't" said Selene.

"In fact I am going there right now" said Selene as she stood up aggressively.

"Whoever did this will not go unpunished, I will make sure of it" she said with seriousness.

"Umm okay Selene" said the witch as she was confused on what just happened?? Was this not the same Selene who truly hated Clove??? then what was with this sudden surge of finding justice for her??

The witch shrugged off her thoughts, maybe she was just overthinking, and maybe Selene finally had a change in heart?
