The dark sorceress

Chapter-1

The brown haired woman grabbed her dear husband's arm crying "Why?!Why are you leaving me..? It's cause of the child isn't it..?!"the tall shadowy man did not pay attention to the crying woman at his side,he tossed his bag over his shoulder about to leave when she cried again "You gave me this child and now you'll just leave me to deal with it?!..I thought you were better than this..Kael.." he did not muster out a word,placing his hand on the doorknob slamming the door open then back closed leaving the poor woman cry and bang her hands on the wooden door in front of her.

The man called Kael,was a Witcher,he fell in love with a witch,leaving her pregnant and then leaving her to deal with the child alone.He felt bad for the child but he couldn't live with her under the same roof anymore.

The witch oh so called Varella gave birth to a beautiful daughter with blue eyes and beautiful little black hairs.Varella took care of her,but once she grew older she looked more like her father,her mother did not like that.

She treated the little girl like a piece of useless clothing,once the girl named Cassandra became 10 her mother was driven crazy by her magic,only seeing Kael in her daughter's eyes.She cursed the poor child using magic "Everytime you'll feel anger the same I do,your pupils will turn white as snow,your arms will be dark as the night.You will be weaken by the stung of iron in this curse."Varella spoke her words as the girl covered her ears,screaming in pain as the stuff around the house flew in every direction,her arms burned,her eyes were bleeding,she was turning in the words her dear mother described.

The things around the house all fell onto the floor as Varella took a step further to Cassandra,she picked her up by her collar and threw her out in the mud. "don't ever try to come back home.The only one who can lift your curse is your dear father,which is probably dead by now."as she said that she slammed shut and went back to her room.

The poor little girl didn't know what was happening,she watched as her arms came back to normal,her eyesight coming back to normal view.She slowly lifted herself off the muddy ground,she only wore a white little nightdress with a black cape over,she was barefoot which only made the situation worse.

She didn't want to make her mother sad so she didn't try to go back home,she began walking towards the city centre,everyone walked past her, whispering and sharing looks.She looked at the food stands,her stomach grumbling as she looked at the delicious warm food that was just now selling.She didn't see the seller that was giving her a dirty look "Aye!Get out of here kid! You're covered in mud you'll ruin my food with your dirty hands!"the seller raised his voice at the small kid,she snatched her arm back and looked down and continued walking,she felt like crying,she didn't understand anything that was going on,she was too young to do so.

As she was walking around an empty alley her feet started to ache,walking around barefoot in the winter was horrible,even for a little lost girl.She saw a wooden box and took a seat trying to rest her feet,she heard a man spit on the ground and another man laugh.Her eyes widen as she saw the two man now approaching her,she tried getting off the wooden box but fell on her face in the mud,the man laughed at her and one of them grabbed her hair forcing her to get up.She looked scared, too scared to notice the tears running down her cheeks. "Pff..a little girl,are you lost princess?Y'know she'll be a good price.."the man with blonde hair said smirking,the other just laughed "She will indeed.." the scared girl tried escaping the man's grip but nothing worked he was too strong. A man voice was heard behind them "Hey!What do you think you're doing to the poor girl?!"a Cintra soldier said,he was probably on patroling around the town. The man dropped the little girl in the mud once again,this time she took on running faster than she ever did "Hey get back here!"the soldier screamed but it was too late to help the girl.

She was still running when she got tired and fell on her knees,she was exhausted,no child should go through this.An old man saw her and reached his hand out to her so he can help her get up,she hesitated but seeing his warm soft smile she let him help her "Oh my! You're full of mud darling!You must be hungry too!Where are your parents?" The old man said worried looking at the girl. "mommy.. don't want me..back home.." the little girl said trying to hold back tears.

The old man gave her a head pat and offered her a piece of warm bread,she took the bread in her little hands and bit down into it,her eyes sparkled at the sweet taste in her mouth,she took another bite and gave a little smile to the old man,he gave a smile back. "Do you want to come with me?" The little girl turned her head towards him "You have nowhere to go..I can take care of you." she looked at him then back at the ground,then she nodded her head and he smiled.

After he fed her,he picked her up and placed her in his cart after placing a small blanket on the wheat so it'll be comfortable for her. "Hold on tight ok?I don't want to lose you on the way!"he laughed and she smiled. He jumped in and started going on the road ahead,she fell asleep good with her stomach full,a sweet old man that will take care of her. As the old man arrived home he carefully picked up the sleeping girl in his arms and brought her inside. "Oh dear you're back.. What's that? Don't tell me you brought another puppy!"his probably wife said looking at him "don't worry, it's not another puppy, it's actually a little girl..poor kid she was left on the streets by her mother,she was running away from bandits.." he carefully placed the sleeping girl on the sofa in their little house,the old woman took a look at her and covered her with a blanket "she must be exhausted..once she wakes up I'll give her a bath and will clean her clothes..".

Blood.Blood everywhere,on her hands,her clothes,her face.Her arms burned and she had her vision blurry.She wanted to scream in agony and pain. But suddenly she woke up,tears on her face,sweat on her forehead.The old woman instantly stood up from her seat next to the fireplace and hugged her "Don't worry.. you're safe here.."the girl slowly calmed down and looked at the old woman. "T-thank you..."she uttered the words.
