Just wanted to comment- I really enjoy how you’re portraying Elspeth’s lack of experience with making decisions and how she’s reacting to it. It’s obvious she’s been damaged by her parents, but she’s reacting maturely. That matureness was somewhat shocking- it’s rare that someone is the first person to think that they should grow up- but shocking in a good way. It’s hard to show damage instead of just moping, and you’re doing a good job of that.

Unlikely. Alice saw Bella, so unless someone is doing a remarkably good job of spoofing her (which is something that has not yet been mentioned as possible) Bella is alive. The only way I can think of, barring some entirely new witch, to spoof Alice that makes any sense is that Adelaide copying Alice can spoof her, in the same way that she can Jasper, and we know that Adelaide was last seen with an entirely useless power (Elspeth’s) and has not touched Alice since.
