Cissia November

I can feel the words rolling on my tongue but the one thing that I always said to myself was that 'what that has to be said should be said'.So I spitted the words out

"Yennefer,I am talking about Yennefer,Orman.I chose her.....but I didn't give birth to her"

I could see the horror on Ormans face,but I was even more scared of Yennefer.The man with the golden eyes stood there smiling wildly but it was all blurred by Yennefers dark face,it was filled with anger,confusion,betrayal,fear,questions filing in her eyes,she took a step forward to me and asked in a hoarse tone

"Do you mean I am not your daughter?"

I closed my lips and shaked my head as the answer.I can see her hands shaking slightly,then she suddenly cluched them into a fist,like she was trying not to do something bad.I couldn't see her like this so I slightly touched her arm but she retreated away from me and asked

"Who am I then?Who are my parents ?What happened to them?Why me?Why did you lie to me,Mother?Why?"

I looked into her eyes and then answered

"They died.They died in a home invasion.Your mother was a close friend of mine,her name was Naria Gracia"

She looked at me with knowing eyes and said

"My name...my name is Yennefer Naria November,you named me after my mother"

I smiled and said

"Yes,I did you were just three months old when your parents died,I was with them in Questa when they died,your mother handed you to me before her last breath I had to stay in there for another seven months and when I came back to Eustace I made Orman believe that you were our child and I gave birth to you in Questa,for he didn't have any doubt because of the potion I used on you to make your eyes blue green"

I could see Yennefers breath getting shallower,I could see her rage rising in her but Orman looked at me and asked

"If she was not her daughter then why did you hide it from me?

I answered with a question

"Are you going to let her go?"

He looked at me and asked skeptically

"Of course,she is nothing but a defame to the family.Why would I knowingly let a stranger in to my house,Cissia?

I smiled and answered

"This was the reason I didn't tell you the truth because I know you,all that you care about is money,fame...at least you would have loved her a bit didn't you,Orman?

For that it was Lilac who answered

"I don't care who loves Yennefer but I am not letting my sister go anywhere"

Indigo looked at her as if she was a stranger and said to her

"You are making no sense at all Lilac,she is not your sister didn't you hear mother?"

Orman joined in too and said

"Yes my dear,Indigo is correct.Yennefer is not your sister,so she is not ours to claim"

Lilac looked at her father angryly and said

"Don't you dare say that,she is my sister and mine only and I am not letting her go"

Lilac took a step to Yennefer and took her hand and was leading her to the living room when Indigo grabbed Lilac and started dragging her away saying

"She have done nothing but ruin our lives so she has to go"

Yennefer started towards Indigo and said

"Let her go Indigo..."

But by that time Orman has started dragging Yennefer away.Lilac shouted at him saying

"Get off of her you bastard!"

But all was stilled by a slight vibration in the ground,like the mother nature was angry at us,like she was threatening us,the man with the golden eyes who stood there watching the fight,smiling now was alert and looked at Yennefer,there was something wrong with her eyes it had a slight shade of red.The man suddenly started pulling Yennefers arm and started walking saying

"We have to go"

Yennefer screaming

"I don't wanna go.....mother please let me stay....there is something I want to tell you mother.....pleaseee mother"

I ran after them and asked the man

"Please if you have bit of humanity in your nature,please tell me at least your name"

The man smiled and looked at Yennefers tear streaked face,it was dark but I could tell that her eye colour was blazing red but I ignored it and looked at the man hopefully and he answered

"You can call me The Umbra"

And he disappeared,just disappeared.I looked behind me to find them all appalled just the way I a was.

Indigo released Lilac,and she walked straight into Ormans face and said

"You...you are going to pay for this"

And she walked in and slammed the door of her room.Indigo looked at me and he too went inside the house.Orman came to me and said

"You did this...this is all your fault....like I used to tell you there will be no one but you to clear the mess you  yourself made"

And he left too.I stood there gazing at the garden,looked into what that I said tonight.I felt like I betrayed myself.I thought of it over and over but an image stood there plastered in my mind,the colour of my daughters eyes,red as the blazing fire and then I smiled to myself and stood in front of the window glass and touched it,and there it was the darkest ash that could ever be formed.

PS: I would be delighted to know what that you think of the chapters.
