The dark sorceress

Chapter -8

As they went deeper into the forest,it became cold,it was normal since it was winter that time. They ride along their horses,their hooves sinking slightly in the snow bellow,the wind blew their hair back and Cassandra tugged on Snow's harness as Geralt spoke "I heard something." He looked around,his eyes scanning the area in front of them.

   Before they could get off their horses an grave hag came out the woods,her long tounged touching the snow bellow as blood was dripping off her disformed body. "Oh fuck."the black haired girl said as she jumped off her horse along with geralt. "The fuck is that?"Cassandra asked as the creature was walking around them like a tiger around it's prey "It's an grave hag, we're lucky it's a small one." Geralt said taking out his sword as the creature jumped at him,he sliced the hag's left arm off and Cassandra jumped in attacking the back of it's neck "Not so fast are we granny?~" she smirked and sliced it's head off.Geralt stabbed the head multiple times to actually get rid of it.

  Cassandra was covered in it's blood and so was Geralt,before the girl could go back to her horse an powerful wind came across her,forming a circle of snow behind her. An strong pull grabbed her back and was pulling her in the portal,but she holded on her horse's harness trying to hold back,she was panicking and her horse started screaming and kicking back and forth,Geralt heard turning his attention to them,he was busy with his horse so he did not hear the first time. He immediately ran towards her and was about to grab her hand but she was gone and so was the portal, the only thing he heard before she vanished was her screaming his name.

  "..FUCK!"Geralt screamed and got on his horse,he looked back at Cassandra's horse,it looked like it was in pain,he grabbed Snow's harness and dragged it along with him so he won't abandoned it.

   As he got out the forest he was walking by a lake, the two horses stopped to drink water and so did Geralt took a break to think of what just happened. Before he could even sit down on the ground he heard a voice singing,he recognised it right away it was the brunette bard. Jaskier also noticed Geralt and was shocked "Well hello there..what a surprise huh?!" He was still angry at him but looked the other way,he looked at the horses, Geralt's was there,and so was Cassandra's..but where was Cassandra? "Hey.. where's Cass?.."Jaskier asked in a low tone seeing the witcher's irrattated expression "I..lost her.She got dragged in a portal I couldn't safe her." Jaskier's eyes widen as he heard his words "We need to fucking find her." The bard said,pain could be heard in his voice as he spoke.

   Cassandra's situation POV:

   The girl opened her eyes only to see a stone floor,she immediately stood up and met the purple eyes of a beautiful woman with black wavy hair. "Who are you and where the fuck am I?"Cassandra asked the woman and she was about to grab her sword "I'm Yennefer of Vengerberg. I sensed a huge magic aura over you..are you a Witcher?A witch?"the purple eyed woman said as she placed a hand on Cassandra's face. "Neither of them." "Then why do you have magic powers..no one is born with them."

  "Have you ever heard of Varella Haynes?" Cassandra smirked as Yennefer's eyes widen at the thought of the name. "The witch who fell for the roughest Witcher..Varella. What's your relationship with her?" Cassandra looked into her eyes and said her expression turning serious "She's my mother,and this roughest Witcher my father. She's my mother..the one who cursed me and left me on the streets." Yennefer looked at her with a sad expression "So the legend is true..The great witch Varella has cursed her dear child." Cassandra felt her blood boil at the woman's words.

   Yennefer turned around Cassandra placing her hands on her waist and looked at her in the mirror at just now appeared in front of them  "Reveal your curse.See the monster you really are..and then rethink why people are scared of you." Cassandra tried holding the anger back as she watched the woman now walking around the room. "What the fuck do you want?"
"Everything."The purple eyed woman said looking at Cassandra.

    "You are pathetic."the blue eyed girl said as she Crossed her arms over her chest. "If I was pathetic could I do this?" Yennefer said as she threw a fire flame at her after muttering a spell under her breath,the fire flame was easily dodged by Cassandra. Another one flew and she dodged it as well. "You're pretty good..how about killing with your magic?" Three Nilfgaard soldiers appeared in the room and Cassandra shot icicles from her hands,the icicles stabbing all three soldiers in the face,leaving them dead on the ground.

   "You're good." Yennefer said and she made 3 more soldiers appear, Cassandra took them out by cutting their stomachs open with one big icicle that was sharp as a blade,the cut was deep enough for the soldier's organs to scatter on the floor in the pool of blood. "So your magic is ice based?" the witch asked "It's not,these are only some tricks I like to use"the girl said smirking at the witch "Interesting.." .
