This will be slightly shorter than the others but I deemed this chapter necessary lol Salem might be a bad guy but she is very beautiful.

Lily poked the small gaping one in her body. It was an absolute bitch to heal giant holes like that. Blood dripped out slowly but it was bearable. She had noticed she looked a lot older than she had and that was the price she had to pay for her family's immortality.

Giant wounds like that took almost a hundred years off her life. It felt like it took a hundred years to heal but it had been a week barely. She rubbed her face. She had about eight hundred years left- give or take.

"Stupid bitch. I can't believe she attacked me like that. With her being mellow..."

"It's because you were careless."

The platinum blonde looked at the red eyed Queen.

"I don't need your lip, Salem."

The dark looking woman glared at her.

"You think liping off to me is the best thing for you?"

Lily's yellow eyes flashed dangerously. Salem stayed quiet as the witch's eyes bore right into her soul. Or what was left of it anyways. Salem watched Lily rewrap her midsection easily. She showed no signs of pain as she did either.

"What is your next move?" Salem asked.

The witch sighed, "I haven't decided yet. Healing myself seems to be slightly more important."

"Should I decide for you? Why don't you go after the other witch?"

Lily snorted in response and stood up getting into Salem's face.

"I have no desire at all to indulge in my family's issues. If she gets in my way then yes, she will be done away with. I don't care for the bad blood between them."

Salem turned around and started walking away. Lily had been around a shorter time than her but she was straight over powered. For that silver eyed girl to land a hit... She rivaled them both. Summer Rose definitely had to be dealt with because once she got in the middle this would be the end of her plan.

"I want Summer Rose with us or dead. Pick one."

"Do it yourself if you want to rush in."

Lily sat down in the chair and closed her eyes. It was a warning Salem better leave the room. The door clicked shut and she took in a deep breath. She was in it for herself and Salem's opinion didn't matter much for her.

Salem took her own seat, tapping her nails on the table. She needed Summer Rose on board or for her to be dead. Or for her to even kill Lily. It would be better to have one powerful enemy than two.

Salem knew all about Summer. The moment she came into existence she knew about Summer and her mother, Airis. Airis herself was a prodigy and she was powerful on her own. Then she had a child young.

"Little girl."

The raven haired girl turned around. Her silver eyes darkened seeing Salem's shadow coming closer. Salem knew the girl was displeased with seeing her but she wanted her under her. She had plans. Big plans.

"I'm no where near little. What do you want?"

"I am Salem-

"I don't care who you are- what do you want."

"Straight to the point."

Airis had no weapons in her hands but there was something about her Salem couldn't put her finger on. Another girl with a similar looking face came out. She had blonde hair and yellow eyes. They had to be twins.

"Claire, go inside."

"Not until she leaves."

Salem stared at the two sisters.

Of course the silver eyed one had more of an intense aura but the other was just as strong. She didn't look like a push over either. Her yellow eyes looked like mini, angry suns. She would need to separate them to get Airis alone. She would come back again.

Salem watched Lily walk out of her room. She looked very similar to Claire, she had almost mistaken Lily for her. She never asked her if Lily was related to Claire and Airis but she wouldn't answer anyways. Wouldn't hurt to ask her anyways.

"Witch?"

Lily stopped in her tracks and stared at the Queen of the Grimm.

"What?"

"Are you related to the one who was the Winter Maiden? The one with the silver eyes?"

"I haven't a clue. I came from a large family. She could be a descendent from another relative. I never had any children."

"Such a shame. You could produce strong offspring."

Lily glared at her, "Evalyn was the only one for me."

"She must have been quite special."

Lily smiled to herself.

"I take it you want to bring her back?"

"You don't have that kind of ability," Lily said and headed back to her room.

"You do... Don't you?" Salem asked.

The witch froze in her tracks, "Reviving the dead comes with dire consequences. The theories are there, but you need an enormous amount of life force to do it. No one has done it."

She slammed her door shut behind her and leaned up against the door. Lily slid down the door until her bottom hit the floor putting her face in her hands.

Salem tapped her chin. She had plenty of time before she needed to make any moves towards Ozpin but she couldn't have a guarantee that Lily will follow through to the end.

It's a shame, really.

I unintentionally forgot that Claire had blonde hair and yellow eyes. Oh well lol i always keep notes on my stories until I finish but I somehow lost them for this story during my absence. After this chapter, my story has hit 100,000 words. Genderbend Rosewick was 2 stories in one so... it of course didn't count that high.

See you at the next chapter!
