Chapter 3 - Locked

Lucianne walked into her throne room after her meeting with the members of the council. The Queen of witches was the Mistress over the fortress of the elites a group led by Lucianne as a form of enforcer for the various witches cross the whole world. It had over 300 members with each of the various regions headed by the council sending 5 witches every few years to join them. They were all well trained in various parts of witchcraft and magic.

"Welcome back my lady" a voice called to Lucianne as she stepped out of the mirror of ibi.

"How did the meeting go?" Kim asked Lucianne curious as she saw a baby wrapped in her arms

"It went well commander Kim" Lucianne responded understanding the secret message in Kim's greeting. They were great friends which weren't a big secret, but they have always chosen to keep thing formal when it came to some serious matters.

"Take her to the room prepared for her". Lucianne said to one of the servants present "and make sure she's fed before putting her back to sleep". The servant collected the child and Lucianne walked past Kim who followed after her.

"I know you are disappointed at the council decision" Lucianne said after they had walked for a while

"I'm not disappointed Kim replied I'm just surprised they didn't try to take the child away from you"

"That was one of the reasons I suggested we killed the child at Ikuwamiri. We may have avoided a problem now but we both know each member of the council wants that child for one purpose or the other".

"Yes I know Lucianne responded and Wura (red) didn't hide the fact that she wanted to be the one to take care of the child but she knew the other members would rather chop off their right arms that agree to that".

"Even though she has the right being that the child is from her region they all consider the child a forbidden relic that can empower anyone who gets to keep her. And the fact they all agreed to let her live means they don't plan on letting her be". Lucianne said

"And you, Kim asked. What are your plans for the child"?

"Even though you said she not mine I plan on raising her like my child". Lucianne responded

"No I mean do you plan on using her as a weapon"? Kim asked as she showed Lucianne her bony left Left arm to remind her of the even that occurred as they were both leaving ikuwamiri while the others were 'cleaning up'

"That's creepy" Lucianne said as she saw Kim's arm

"The doc said it will heal, but it will take some time to dispell all the decay" Kim said

"They might have not have witnessed it but we both did and I must say that child is better off dead than alive".

"The boat for that has already sailed Kim, and that will be the end of it."

"But Lu-"Kim tried to reason with Lucianne

"No buts Kim, I understand your fears but with her powers sealed and me watching over her I believe there is nothing to fear.

"As for the event that transpired after she was born, I remember you promising never to bring it up or tell anyone ever. I'll deal with the issues as they come but I'll want you to remember your promise and keep it, do you understand"?

"Yes" Kim responded and Lucianne immediately left.

Lucianne got to her room and went straight to a wall she stood there and closed her eyes before chanting. 'Shi' immediately the wall gave way and she walked in. She walked down the stairs of the secret room and after a while she got into a room where she chanted again 'civer' and a part of her cloth covered her nose. Inside the room a doll as tall as a human child was seen on the floor with various chains sticking out her back connecting to a form of enchantment on the wall. Each chained was covered in blood. Lucianne walked up to the doll and the doll looked up noticing her visitor, the doll open its mouth and was bare able to speak

"Iiiit huuurts" the doll managed to say

"I know my love I know but just hang on a bit longer, I have found the perfect host for you but it will take a while before you can take her body. If we perform the spell on the baby she'll die. Just hang in there Abigail. Lucianne said as she caressed the dolls cheeks and wipe its tears.
