Madam Spellman || CAOS

Satan say whaaat?

"She's been out for hours now.. I've patched her up and as far as I can tell the wound is small and will heal, but head injuries are very serious, even for witches.. shes got a grizzly recovery" Hilda said worriedly

"What are we going to do in the meantime?.. we cant just keep her here, she's not who she says she is! she could be dangerous, think of the family.. think of Sabrina I will not put her in danger!" Zelda spat back

"I know.." Hilda returned with an unsure huff "We'll see what she's like when she wakes and then we'll decide what to do, but until then the council of witches cant know about this"

"Agreed. Satan knows what they'll think of a high ranking demon walking free in Greendale" Zelda returned

"One of us should check on her" Hilda suggested

"I'll go, you take care of the mess in the living room before one of the young ones find out" Zelda ordered her with a nod

Once Hilda had scuffled off along the corridor Zelda was left alone outside of Edward's old bedroom.. the room currently obtained by the woman she had loved.. still loved.

Satan knows she hated Mary for lying to her, but she couldn't deny the affection she still had for the witch.. if she even was a witch

With one last huff.. Zelda's hands made their way around the wooden door frame and she bit her lip as she opened it a crack and stepped inside before closing the door again and pushing her back against it.. observing the unconscious woman from a distance

As if she sensed her presence in the room Lilith's eyes opened and a deep breath escaped her lips.. without taking a moment to asses her situation she immediatley attempted to sit up but felt an in immense pain shoot across her body

"No! be careful!" Zelda scolded her rushing over to sit beside her on the bed and assist her head back down onto the pillow

"You have a serious head injury you have to take it easy!" she scoffed "You're damned lucky Hilda was there to help you or you would have bled out on the carpet!"

"Zelda.. I'm so sorry" the brunette cried, gazing up into those gorgous green eyes that she loved so much, but that brought her such sweet sorrow as now she could only associate them with the feared look she saw in them last

Zelda couldnt bring herself to say anything she just turned her head to the side and closed her own eyes for a moment in a desperate attempt to console herself and hold back the tears she could feel were threatening to spill

Turning back she uttered "You lied to me.. our entire relationship was what.. you just using me to cause some unknown damage to me, my family, my coven.. what?"

what broke Lilith the most was that Zelda didn't sound angry.. she sounded hurt. Lilith could tell that the woman was sharing her genuine emotions and she knew how rare and out of character that was for the witch.

"I lied to you about so many things yes.. but I never once lied about my love for you, I didn't plan to fall for you" Lilith returned raising her hand to Zeldas cheek and caressing it gently.. knowing full well that the woman was holding back tears

"Then tell me this.. what is your purpose in Greendale? Were you sent or are you here of your own accord?" Zelda asked still weary of the womans intentions

Lilith took a deep breath in but proceeded to answer Zeldas question, after all the truth was the least she deserved; "I was sent by the Dark Lord.. my orders were to lead Sabrina down the path of darkness.. to make him seem inevitable to her" Lilith answered lowering her head in shame

"Sabrina!?" Zelda yelled, her maternal instincts for the girl prominent as ever, "I swear to satan if your intention was to hurt her in anyway I'll kill you myself and have your head mounted above the fireplace!"

"Of course not! I would never let any harm come to her!" Lilith returned, "I was sent to guide her to him, for she is crucial to his plan, he intends her to be somewhere in his highraky of Hell, perhaps in my position once I ascend"

"What.. why Sabrina? What position?" Zelda asked a million questions flooding her mind

"The position of his concubine, his right hand woman. as for why her, I'm not certain" she answered

"Concubine.. wait.. unholy fucking shitballs" Zelda spat, a vicious word vomit she couldn't hold back as the realisation hit her

"You're her.. arent you, you're.."

"Lilith" the brunette answered

"No!.. you're lying again!.. this cant be.. why Mary Wardwell?" Zelda asked her curiosity overwhelming even her

"I needed to be someone Sabrina knew well in order to gain her trust, and well.. bless her damned soul Mary Wardwell had one Hell of a body" Lilith answered honestly but it brought Zelda a soft giggle none the less

"I won't argue with that" Zelda responded

"But why.." Zelda went on before stopping herself as she saw that Lilith was struggling to keep up with her, she was beginning to turn flushed in the cheeks and her eyes were becoming hazy like they were a few hours prior

Zelda ached so desperatley to ask the million questions that were burning away in side of her but noted that the rapid questions were too much for her to handle all in one burst

"We'll need to discuss more later but for now you should get some rest, I need you well.. Lilith"

Zelda stopped herself as she said the name; "It feels strange calling you that after knowing you as Mary for so long" she admitted

"I understand.. you should take it at your own pace" Lilith said with a small smile, though she was fighting to remain alert in order to acknowledge what the other woman was saying

"Hilda will check on you later with some lunch and I'll be just down the hall so shout if you need anything" Zelda assured her, raising from her positon beside Lilith and leaning forward to kiss her out of instinct but having to pull herself back, she made her way up and out of the room without saying anything more or looking back

and with that Lilith was left to sleep whilst Zelda paces the corridor, so many unanswered questions.. so many emotions.. so much now making sense.
