Portal

Omniscient POV

Silas footsteps echoed as he walked down the dark corridor. The rain fell in torrents and the wind strongly agitated the scanty flames of the torches illuminating the corridor.

Guards dressed in leather armors walked down the corridor, surrounding Silas who was dressed in a long purple robe and hood.

"Open the door." Silas instructed and the guards quickly went to open the door of the cell.

The rattling of the chains echoed through the silent night and it was followed by the loud creaking of the silver doors being opened.

The cell was completely dark and the figure picked up a torch, the wind threatening to blow the flames out.

The light of the flames faintly illuminated the cell and a part of Silas' face beneath the hood.

Inside the cell was cold and silent, but there was a man at the end of the cell. He wasn't injured nor did he look tortured, but there was frustration, agony and depression written all over his face..

He opened his eyes as he noticed the new presences in his cell and he stared at them blankly.

There was a collar on his neck, the material of the collar was unknown, but it had a green glow. Harmless it appeared, but it seemed to be the nemesis of the prisoner.

"Let's start again, shall we?" Silas said and his voice filled the cell with dread.

Silas grabbed one of the torches as he moved closer to the prisoner until the flames were few inches from the prisoner.

"I have no intention of harming you, all I want is a little bit of information and you can go," Silas said in a convincing tone.

The man slowly raised up his head, looking pained and angry at the same time.

"Tell that to the Signum collar around my neck." He gritted his teeth and let out an low sigh.

"Oh, that's just a little precaution. I don't want you getting all witchy. It's better than torture don't you think?" Silas asked and bent down so he could be at the eye level of the prisoner who was sitting on the cold floor.

"Geralt. I just need to know how to make a Tribrid," Silas said in a soft tone and he used two fingers to raise Geralt's jaw slightly.

"Or if you don't know how, atleast tell me how to unlock one and Tame her," he added and Geralt seemed to get enraged.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on Natasha!" Geralt yelled and he tried to move closer to Silas, but Silas simply pushed him lightly on the shoulder and he fell back on the wall.

The signum collar was not only breaking his magic circuits and preventing him from using magic, it was weakening him and causing pain.

"Natasha? I might have been referring to another Tribrid," Silas said with a sly smile.

"She's the only Tribrid and I locked her powers away myself you monster!" Geralt retorted and Silas' smile grew wider.

"There, so tell me how to unlock it." Silas voice quickly changed from soft to fierce and threatening.

"Just kill me already cause I'm not going to say a word!" Geralt yelled and suddenly spat in Silas' face.

Silas stood up and wiped his face with an handkerchief, walking back a bit.

"Fine. I'll be back and then, I won't be so gentle." Silas turned around and walked out of the cell.

"Lock it up."

***

Natasha.

I groaned as I opened my eyes. My eyes hurt and my throat burned so badly. It was the silver dust.

I looked around me, I was in a dark room and my hands were cuffed behind my back to a pillar.

I have to get out of here. I grunted and sharp claws slowly extended from my fingers. It was painful because of the silver poisoning.

I moved my fingers slowly using my claws to cut through the silver cuffs.

After a while, the cuff finally broke and fell to the ground. I signed in relief and moved away from the silver pillar, rubbing my wrists.

I walked to the door and grabbed the doorknob, but instantly took my hand away as I felt my palm get burned.

Ouch. I looked at the doorknob closely, it wasn't made of silver so why did it burn. I noticed that there was a liquid on the door knob with a faint green glow.

What was that?

Fuck it! I grabbed the doorknob quickly and broke I almost immediately. I hissed in pain as I felt my palm burn. I looked left and right not sure which way to go.

Left, I guess. I immediately ran in the left direction of the corridor as silently as I could. I knew I had to be in a place filled with Vampires, their scent was the only thing I could smell.

I suddenly stopped running as I got to a point where the corridor forked into three corridors. I was about to go left again, but I stopped and I looked at the corridor on the right.

My gaze landed on the door of a cell. I felt a pull to the cell that I couldn't explain. It wasn't Dante cause I'd be able to tell it was a pull to my mate.

Someone or something was there that could possibly be important to me. I wanted to check it, but I knew I had to get out of here quickly before someone sees me or notices I am gone.

I turned to the left corridor so I could leave when I heard a voice behind me.

"Look what we have here." I stopped moving immediately and I slowly turned around to see the same man from my visions and the one who attacked us at the pack.

"Were you leaving without informing me?" H asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Who are you and what do you want?" I asked, taking a step back with every step he took forward.

"The name's Silas. I'm Kiara's father," he replied.

Kiara? Oh Kiara! A smile lit up on his face as he saw the look of realization on mine.

"Look, I don't care what went up between you, Dante and-"

"Oh, you're here for a different reason and I can't let you leave," Silas stated and he pulled out a sword from his robe.

I moved back and in that moment, I felt something strange build up inside me.

It felt like power, but it also felt like it was taking me over. I looked down and saw that the tips of my hair were turning dark blue and slowly moving up.

My eyes felt like they were changing too.

"Oh, not so quickly!" Silas immediately zoomed forward and he stabbed me in the neck with a syringe.

The power was still growing in me, but I began to get dizzy and my vision blurred.

I pushed Silas back with the heel of my palm and I staggered back.

I felt power flow into my palms and my hands stretched out into the air on their own.

Blue energy burst out of my palms and exploded into a portal in the air. Wait, a portal?!

I was getting more dizzy and I saw Silas try to stop me, but my hands shot a blast at him on their own.

I quickly staggered into the portal, trying to stay awake and as I fell out of the portal, I landed on the floor.

I looked up and with my blurry vision, I saw that I was on a side walk of a busy road and the last thing I saw before passing out were moving cars.
