Increasing the powers of the girls that Hanna brought with her, Nathalie added new witches to their ranks. The faces of the girls looked as if they witnessed a miracle. The girls bowed down as they in unison said, "Thank you Miss! From this day onwards, my life is yours to do as you want."
Hearing this, Nathalie smiled to them. It was clear to her that the witches, who originally were mortals, are the most loyal to her. This is something that she should capitalize on.
Other things that Nathalie still had to do were to create a few more demons from the male mortals that were recruited. This all took the better part of the day. As night came by, Nathalie retreated to her bedroom. Emily was already lying on the bed half naked waiting for her. Looking a bit angry Emily spoke up, "I don't like this at all! You are really busy now. Especially now that we are growing. This means that we have less time together! We should change this around."
Smiling at what Emily was saying, Nathalie replied happily, "Whatever you want my love. I will do whatever pleases you!" Having endured all the hardships, Nathalie normally did not have any weakness or any feeling towards other living beings. However for some reason, after the incident, Nathalie could not stop thinking about Emily at all. She had created a weakness to her strong demeanor. Her feelings towards Emily could prove a difficulty in the future. However with her powers, Nathalie was sure that she would be able to protect her from any harm.
As she walked towards the bed, Emily got up, and holds onto the arm of Nathalie, pulling her towards her. Looking with a seductive smile Emily said, "I cannot wait anymore, I have been on my edge the whole day. I need you! Right now!" With those words, Emily tore off the cloths Nathalie was wearing and pushed her onto the bed. Kissing Nathalie, Emily slowly went downwards with her lips. As if Emily was reading Nathalie's mind, Emily stopped when she arriving at her belly. Looking up with a smile on her face, Emily said, "I will surely enjoy tasting you, but you will have to wait your turn."
Not being able to control herself, Nathalie decided to test her tail, as she tried to pleasure Emily with it. This aroused Emily more, as her actions became more intense.
…
As they were getting exhausted from their time together, they were about to retreat and rest for the night. As Nathalie was about to put her head on the pillow, she heard a heavy banning on the door. It was the voice of Liana, "Miss! Miss! There is trouble!"
Hearing these words, Nathalie got up with quickly and moved to the door. Not realizing that she was naked, she opened the door as she asked, "What happened? What is so important that it cannot wait till the morning?"
Shocked at the sight, Liana first tried to avoid her gaze. In the end she decided against this, as the current situation is more pressing. With a worried voice Liana replied, "Miss, the enforcers of the city are closing in to the tower! What should we do?"
Hearing this, Nathalie was shocked. Thinking, "How could this happen? The Union did not know about what was going on in her tower. So why did they decided to visit her now and at this time." Feeling uneasy about this, the voice in her head spoke up again, "They are here to capture you! Do not give them the chance! We should try to escape from them!" Listening to this inner voice, Nathalie looked towards Emily. Seeing that she was also nodding, Nathalie spoke up, "Call everyone into the laboratory. We have to gather everything up and leave as soon as possible. I will be there in 5 minutes. I expect that everyone is ready by the time and everything is cleaned up." With those words, Nathalie turned around walking towards the cabinet to get something to wear.
Hearing the orders, Liana bowed and replied, "Yes Miss, I will call all the sisters and we will start preparing everything. We will be ready to leave in less than 5 minutes.
As Nathalie was getting dressed, Emily hugged her from behind, "Don't worry, everything will be alright. We will hide for some time and continue to expand our influence from there." After speaking those words, Emily kissed Nathalie on the shoulder and also started to get dressed.
…
After roughly 5 minutes, all the witches stood ready to leave at any moment's notice. Nathalie looked to them and said, "Sisters, for some reason, the treacherous Union discovered our source of power and wants to keep it for themselves. Because of this, we will leave this place and hide further up north for some time. We will regroup over there and start to increase our powers again." With those words, Nathalie checked if everything was taken with them. Seeing that the notes as well as the mixtures were all on them, she walked towards the wall to pick up a torch.
Just as the group was exciting the laboratory, Nathalie looked back and threw the torch in it. Seeing the fire catch on, she exited and went towards the cellar. In the cellar, she had not much time left. In order to delay the witches that were approaching, she decided to release the demons. They had no way to carry the captive witch with them, so she left her behind, hoping the fire would consume her with it.
…
As the group left the building, shouts could be heard from the route was The Union witches were approaching from. The fire might have alerted them as they were moving in faster. Just as Nathalie was about to enter the woods a shout called out to her, "You there! Wait! In the name of The Union!" Ignoring these words, Nathalie rushed in towards the woods.
As the group was running, the shouts could be heard from behind them. Taking a quick glance back, there were some torches following them. However, Nathalie saw that the amount was less than what was initially approaching them. The group might have split and a part entered the tower instead of following. Happy with this, Nathalie though that she could delay them and gain ground on them.
After avoiding some difficult train, Nathalie stopped after she jumped over a small ditch, "You girls continue I will fill this ditch with some acid, trying to slow them down." With those words, Nathalie faced the ditch and started to use her powers to fill it up with acid. As her powers have increased several times, the task of filling in the task went rather quickly.
After a few seconds, Nathalie was pleased with her trap and turned around and started to run deeper into the woods. Not even 10 seconds passed by and Nathalie could hear screams from behind her. There were several different voices that shouted out, "I am burning! What is this! Help me!"
The trap worked, they were gaining some ground from their pursuers now. With that Nathalie relaxed a bit and slowly caught up with her group. Talking about what to do next while they were running, they decided to go towards the highlands in the North West, trying to find a cavern in which they could rest up and gather their strengths.
A long and difficult road was in front of them, as they had to make sure that they were also not being followed.
