Chapter 337
Here was the chance Jasmine had.
To say that Anna was the daughter of her father and finally get rid of her.
It would be a very easy job and she would finally get rid of her once and for all.
Anna on her own part would get what she truly deserved.
Jasmine signed heavily. “Her name is Anna. Her parents and family were kind to take me to safety after I escaped from the war. I work for them p>
Then Jasmine cleared her throat. “So what am I? Please tell me p>
The woman reached out to Jasmine once again and touched her cheeks and held her.
“There is nothing.” The woman said. “I can’t feel or see anything. Who are your parents? What is your origin p>
“I have never seen my mother. My father is dead.” Jasmine said disappointed that once again she had no identity.
“I can’t seem to put a hex on you.” The woman said in awe. “Have you ever been under a spell p>
Jasmine remembered her incident where she had almost died.
“Yes.” Jasmine nodded. “Once. But I was cured p>
She didn’t want them asking more questions lest they pried further into her life and find out that Bale was her father.
“That’s impossible.” The woman said quickly. “Because I am the strongest mage of my sect and I can hex anyone. Including the royal family. If you once had a hex placed on your head, then I should be able to do even better p>
Jasmine had no idea what to say.
“Something must be really wrong with me.” Jasmine said to herself.
“Nothing is wrong with you.” The woman said. “I have never met anyone like you. And I have been existing for centuries. It’s like you have something blocking anyone from using magic on you. That made you impenetrable. Has anything happened to you recently p>
Jasmine vaguely remembered the incident on the ship.
“Yes there was something that happened to me p>
Just as Jasmine was about to speak.
There was a loud rumble.
They all stood still.
Then it happened again.
And it became louder and all of a sudden building began to disintegrate.
“What’s happening?” Jasmine asked panicked.
The woman walked to the balcony and overlooked the city before returning back
“The city is under attack.” She said. “Dark magic is here. You need to leave this very instant p>
The woman tilted her head at Rashida and Calline. “Take them away from here. I’ll go and defend the city. Thank you for bringing this to me p>
She pointed at the paper that Jasmine had given her and in a split second she had disappeared.
Rashida and Calline rushed her and Anna who was still behaving like a little puppy out of the tower and back to where the horses were.
“Ride gat ahead. Don’t stop until you arrive at your destination.” Calline said as they put Anna on the horse and snapped her fingers.
Anna completely went to sleep.
“Is it going to wear off?” Jasmine asked worried.
“Yes.” Rashida said. “If you ever need us summon us p>
And then Rashida pressed a small totem on her palm.
Before Jasmine could ask how, the horse rode off on its own.
Jasmine held firmly to the reins of the horse and tried her best to prevent Anna from falling off.
It was like the horse knew where it was going and kept on riding incredibly fast.
Ana began to stir awake.
“What’s happening?” She mumbled slightly annoyed.
They dodged a hanging tree.
“We’re going back to the forest.” Jasmine told her.
“Why don’t I remember anything?” Anna demanded in anger. “What did you do to me?! Once I get back I’m going to tell my brother EVERYTHING p>
“You can’t be shouting!” Jasmine hissed at her. “We can discuss this later. There was an attack and I don’t think we should be making any noises in the forest. We’re almost close p>
“I don’t care!” Anna screamed as she snatched the reigns of the horse from Jasmine once again. “You did something to me. If you didn’t, why can’t I remember anything huh? Why can’t I remember p>
“You were weak and-” jasmine started to
Lie.
“Bullshit!” Anna hissed.
“Look we would discuss this later. This isn’t safe. It’s late anything could attack us.” Jasmine warned as she collected the reigns of the horse.
Anna grabbed the reins of the horse. “You
Imbecile you’re going to get us killed! Who told you to ride this horse? Do you have any experience in your miserable childhood? Give it to me p>
The horse neighed in pain and at the shock she had used to grab it.
“Stop you’re hurting him!” Jasmine said.
But Anna refused to pay her any heed.
She kept on struggling with Jasmine to gain control of the horse.
Finally the horse couldn’t take it anymore when Anna yanked him so hard to the side the horse landed on the ground with a loud thud and flung them away.
Jasmine’s head was spinning and tried to slowly get up as she watched horse run away.
She saw Anna who was tossed to a different side of the forest and staggered to her.
Before she could get to Anna, she heard the gallops of horses approaching them.
She had no idea who could be coming and she had barely made any friends here.
She rushed to her.
“Anna get up get up!” Jasmine said as she finally got to her and urged her up.
Anna remained on the floor.
Her dress was torn and she was bloody.
Jasmine tried to pick her up and drag away to hide behind one of the large trees at least until they passed.
She didn’t go far.
The horses finally came to them.
It was dark and the moonlight struck so she could hardly see who they were.
“Stay away from us!” Jasmine warned as she dragged Anna further back.
One of the riders came down and landed on his feet.
A panicked Jasmine pulled out the small dagger she had and pointed at the intruder.
The man walked and finally came to full view of the moonlight.
It was none other than.
“Xaden p>
“Jasmine p>
