The witches looked at her as if she was their meal.
“You should not have come back after taking one of us with you.” said the group that stared at Anne and Hazel with a look of disgust and challenge.
With that a woman jumped to attack on Hazel while Anne was held by two witches. But before the witch could catch the hazel, she jumped and shot the witch with her crossbow.
The witch frowned, she waved her hands and the arrow fell on the other side before it could touch her.
She took out a dagger and then touched the tip of it with her tongue. It created a sound like a spark of electricity passed through it and then threw it towards Hazel who dodged it again.
Just when the witch was about to attack her again, she felt something pulling her from the bottom and she lost her balance and fell on the ground.
To make the matter worse the plant that was holding her started burning with her ankle still in its grip. The witch screamed and the two witches holding Anne ran to help her.
Hazel casting another spell and more plants coming to creep out of the ground and held the witches in their hold like chains.
One of the witchers snickered as he used his elemental power of fire and burnt the plants to the crisp and got himself free.

He stood up and helped the other witches in standing up and then they attacked Hazel together.
All three of them had the same elemental power and soon the whole place started to burn but Hazel had a protective sheet around her that she did not even feel the warmth of the fire.
“Anne go and secure the slaves!” Anne stood up and nodded her head as she ran without worrying about hazel or her condition.
Soon the fire started to spread around and the witch attacked Hazel with her dagger again.
“You are making a mistake!” warned the witch again but Hazel only chuckled and used the spell agan. This time their faces contorted when she tried to attack them with the same plants again.
They all looked at each other as if agreeing to a plan and ran in the opposite direction.
While the witch ran where Anne had gone. The witches ran towards the left and right of Hazel but no one came towards her to attack.
Hazel follows the witch, after her intrusion would affect Anne in saving others.
“That was not a good decision now, was it?” she asked as she pressed more pressure on the witch but she chuckled as if she won.
When Hazel stopped, she felt the intense pressure and stared at the roof from where she felt something was poured over her.
“Kerosene?” the strong stench of the oil covered her body and then the witch smirked at her.
‘It was indeed not a good decision to follow me.’ said the witch as her fingers sparked.
The flames of light were dancing on her fingers and challenging Hazel to burn her to the crisp.
“You should not poke your nose at things that have nothing to do with you!” said the witch as she leaked on her with the intention to burn her but Hazel stabbed the witch with a dagger as soon as she moved closer to her.
The witch was not expecting the sudden attack,. She fell to the ground instantly with her heart bleeding.
“You are not one of us!” said the witch before closing her eyes when Hazel snorted.
“Who even wanted to be like you.” She looked around but did not find the two witchers around.
So, she followed the direction where Anne had left for.
More than seven witches were attacking Anne at once before she could even open the first cell.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Helping humans or vampires even when you are one of us. Are you not ashamed of yourself?” asked a knight as he tried to choke Anne to death.
His hands were holding her neck with full force as she continued to struggle. She tried to cast a spell but she was not able to move her lips and her hands were covered with the protective shell made by her own mother.
“You have kept one of us in the cell so that they could be sold like commodities. Are you ashamed of your actions?” she snapped back when the witches chuckled.
“They are too weak to be caught like that? If one wants to die, what could be done about that?” with that they tried to stab Anne to death when hazel took hold of the dagger.
A faint light was formed around it and it flew in the air before it could touch anna.
“You are a stubborn kid that never learned it?” said the witch as she leaped on Hazel who just took a few steps back.
All the witches lunged at her for once with the intention of holding her and then killing. All of them had taken out their daggers while casting the spell from the other side.
But hazel just snapped her fingers and the rain of flames started.
Instead of drips of water, the small flames of fire were falling on the witches that stopped in the tracks and looked at it with shock but that was only for distraction.
Hazel knew that witches could not be killed by the small ball of fires. So, when they stopped to see one, she took out her crossbow and shot them again with full force.
She saw how they all staggered a bit before falling on the ground. They all burnt to ashes and she moved forward to her sister that was already injured.
“Are you okay?” she asked with a hint of worry when Anne nodded her head.
“Lets just take them out and then leave.”
