Chapter 42 - Odd

Retaining witchy abilities after being dead was equal to performing black magic. Or else she did have had a beating heart just like her and there must be something. If Ophelia has a beating heart… then it's very likely to confirm Ophelia was involved in this case. It means Ophelia directly or indirectly was helping the murderer. At this very thought, she got angry. Her eyes started shifting from silver to red.

"I am turned into a Vampire but the Great Emperor Azazel Laroch used some spells to keep me allow while being both," Ophelia said.

She got instructions from that person already to not mess with Elphaba. And she didn't dare. Because Glory line witches were someone who couldn't be messed with.

That's it, Lenora lost it. Her fangs were threatening to come out to taste her blood, her were turning into blood red. Just then someone held her hand, she knew the touch. It's Eudora. She gradually calmed down. It's not the time to show her anger at least now. Lenora calmed down.

Even Eudora understood the complexity of Ophelia's existence. And seeing Lenora's expression and the reaction she knew there was something odd.

"At least, you know how to be honest," Elphaba said with a snort as she walked to her chair and sat there in a most unladylike way.

Elphaba was a beautiful woman. She has sharp features. Pointy nose, chin, soft luscious red hair, skin as soft and smooth and white as milk, beautiful crescent shape eyes, plump lips, and her demeanor made her look very beautiful. Even as a woman Adira felt attracted to the witch. She batted her eyes at her dazedly as she watched the beautiful woman do the things in a most unladylike way. But those things didn't make her any less beautiful but more beautiful. Adira came into reality when she heard her voice. If only she were a man, maybe she could have a chance to get this beauty. A woman like her was worth being battled and fighting. Men will line up for her to marry only if they get to see her. Such a shame… she sighed softly.

"Their marriages can be held on the full moon day. Which was a month later as the last full moon day was three days ago," Elphaba said.

"Lenora Serafina Valorine," Elphaba called as she looked at Lenora. She shifted her leg in a way that made her dress ride up above her ankle. Naturally, a woman wouldn't let anybody see at least a bit of her skin but Elphaba let them.

"Truths… they were hidden for enough time. Nature will help you in uncovering them. But finding truths can be fatal not for you but for the people you care about. Careful yet don't stop. Fated or not, being with him is nature's course. Don't let anyone crack it," Elphaba said.

"You are walking in the right way. Don't let the things that came to you slip away if you let them… then it can destroy the entire world. Trust nobody but yourself. Even your shadow can walk and talk at times," Elphaba added looking at Lenora.

Lenora couldn't understand her words. Because many truths were with Lenora. Before she could say or ask something she was interrupted by her again. Seeing others' expressions, Lenora guessed nobody heard the witch's words except her. She stepped back and stood beside Eudora.

Then she spoke to Adira too but she couldn't hear a single word. Does that mean no one heard a single word except her when the witch spoke with her?

This was good. It means she helped her with Ophelia wantedly. And also mean she knew about her situation. From this situation she understood one thing, the witch may not help her but guide her.

Maybe she can trust her.

But what reason does she have to help her?

It looks very odd and new to her.
