Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 352 The Sacrifice

“Why are you trying to kill me?” she asked with a pale look on her face, her body was burning with fire and they could feel her nerves getting quicker as if she would burst soon, “it could not only be about burning the black market since you never it at the first place.”

“Curiosity killed the cat, do you not hear that?” asked the witch who chuckled, “but then you are already going to be dead. Aren’t you?”

Other witches joined the laughter as they teased the young witch who thought of herself as above them.

“Alright since you are dying, i will take it as your last wish!” said the witch with a nod of her hand and many started marking a circle around her.

“You are part of the sacrifice!” said the witch, which did not surprise Hazel at all, as she could already see that they had prepared to perform a ritual.

“So, all this was a trap to deplete my energy so that you can take me out easily?” she asked with a chuckle as the witches had already taken away her crossbow and the heat rising from her body was proof that she had turned much weaker to fight so many.

The witch placed her hand behind her back. Looking down at Hazel as if she was a fool.

“At least you know now! I thought that you would never be able to get our trick.” the witch shook her head while others sneered looking at Hazel as if she was a fool.

“I have thought that you will be smarter since your mother had warned us again and again that you will be stronger and cunning. So we will never let our guards down.” the witch tilted her head and then stared at the hands of Hazel that did not have any spark left. Her eyes filled with disdain. “I wonder how someone could be such a fool when she had so many powers in her hands!”

“So you only want to sacrifice me because my mother told me. Just that and you call me a fool!” Hazel clicked her tongue as if she was disappointed with the reason when the witch glared back at her.

For a long time witches were taken as a foolish being that had so much power but still trampled by both species.

The words work as the sore spot for those who were holding her.

“Ha! Still acting cocky, are you?” She pulled the hair of Hazel to insert some pain in her body and scare the witch but she did it get the relief she wanted since Hazel stared back deep into her eyes that felt challenging.

“Well, we will not let the death of the strongest witch go in vain.” said the witch with a proud look on her face as she stared at the ground.

The markings were almost done and once it was completed Hazel would not have any way out. She would be trapped in the hole while they would cast the spells to get rid of her darkness.

“Once you are sacrificed, we will get all your powers. Each one of us? Would it not be better to have this power by so many instead of one? For the welfare of your coven, you should be sacrificing this much.”

She said as if letting her die was a favor they were doing on her.

“And that was told by my mother?” asked Hazel with the tilt of her head, “that woman hated me since birth since i am a dark witch. What if she was lying so that you all will help her in getting rid of me.” she said with such confidence that the old witch blinked.

She looked at her friends who stared back at her but then shook her head.

“The legends and the sacred book could not be manipulated. Your sacrifice is written on each one of them.” said the witch with surety that Hazel wondered if she had read those books in the past and had forgotten about them or she was still clueless about the reason for her death.

“Your mother had sacrificed herself by letting you catch her. She was sure that you would follow her and soon come to this place to free all the suffering humans and witches you will see.” chuckled the witch as if it was a joke.

“We never trusted her as those were pathetic humans. But she said that you both are too kind for your own good. Now I can see how right she was!”

The woman took a step back as she looked at the marking with her eyes glinting. An evil smile on her face as she looked at Hazel with malice.

“It was nice meeting you and talking to you but the time of chatting leisurely is over.” she smiled at Hazel and then looked away towards the other witches.

“Since you have been so calm and supported us for so long, I will give you a goodbye gift!” said the witch as she smiled at Hazel. She placed her hands in her pocket and then took out a small amulet.

“Your mother had told us that you were holding it last time when you were brought for the sacrifice. This must be precious to you” it was? Hazel caught the amulet that was thrown into her direction and then stared hard at.

She started to feel dizzy and she was sure it was another even when she was going to see a part of her memory as a movie in front of her.

But this was not the time to fall into a dream or she would never be able to wake up from it and die as a sacrifice.

Just as the witches bid her goodbye and took a step back, Hazel stood straighter and her face had a smile. She looked beaming and howling.

Her body looked like it had woken up after a long nap, she was looking fresh and smiling hard that surprised the witch?

“What happened to you? Did you get such a shock after being told the truth?”
