Chapter 66 - Thirst For Vengeance (1/2)
Before Sailles could form another thought, her figure was pulled out of the realm again. This time, she did not appear in any village, cliff, mountain, or cave. This time she appeared in a red room with machines and tubes containing many mutilated and dissected dismembered races.
”What in the Nar is this!” She shrieked in terror.
Never in her three lives had she ever witnessed such a sight.
The separated and cut up pieces of fleshes and limbs.
The organs, eyes, ears, noses, and fingers stored in tubes.
And the heads floating on glass cylinders, sickened her to her stomach.
She had lived many years as a vicious serpentine, witnessed many horrendous sights as a cold-blooded beast, but had never seen such a horrific deed before.
If she thought the Nar realm was a burning hell before, now witnessing this room, she realized what damnation was. A creature operating such a place would probably never know the meaning of salvation. This sort of creature was beyond redemption.
”Ahhh!”
The heart-wrenching shriek pulled Sailles out of her reverie, attracting her attention to a red machine. Thousands of black tentacles wriggled and waved as they tightly stuck to the machine, greedily sucking out the energy of the agonized figure inside. With a hanging heart and shallow breath, she moved to the machine.
The instant she reached it, she froze.
Her eyes teared, her head span, her heart dropped, and her soul shuddered.
She desperately wished for, anyone or anything, to pull her out of whatever nightmare this was!
She did not have the strength to remain on her feet, weakly falling to the ground, her body leaned against the red machine.
Her eyes were vacant and lost as she sat in a daze.
”How...How, can that possibly be me? How?” She stammered, as tiny as a flame mosquito.
She was not able to understand how any of what she saw was possible. She did not have any memory of ever being in such a machine. She did not remember being sucked by thousands of black tentacles. Moreover, she could not recall going through such a horrific and agonizing experience.
So, how was it possible for her to see a sight she did not remember.
Then it hit her.
Her lost, incomplete memory!
”I don't remember this memory because I lost it or it was erased?”
If she had not seen this room, she would have never considered the possibility of her memory being erased. However, after seeing this room and its horrors, witnessing herself shrieking in pain and despair, the unobstructed thought entered her mind.
”How much longer before you are done?” The indifferent voice drifted in the quiet room, pulling Sailles out of her trance.
She knew this voice. Recognized its owner without having to see his face. But she was not able to believe her ears. The implications were great.
”Hehehehe.....Just a little more. She is more stubborn than I thought.”
”I want to form the mate-bond with her the moment you are done.”
”Hehehe...Of course.”
But once she heard the other voice, the voice that had been haunting her, her hesitation disappeared, her dilemma vanished.
If it was really Luke that she heard, if he was in cahoots with that voice, then she would destroy them both!
Turning decisively, her gaze fell on him and her outlook changed.
The same Luke that had been caring and gentle. The same Luke she felt was sincere to her. The same Luke she thought would never hurt or harm her.
That same Luke was indifferently standing by the side while she shrieked her lungs in a machine
That same Luke was indifferently watching by the side while she thrashed her limbs in agony.
That same Luke was indifferently questioning by the side while she convulsed from an unimaginable torture.
”Good. Very good. Although I was suspicious of you and your motives, I never once suspected that you would be the one to hurt me. Although I was skeptical of your reasoning and claims, I never once imagined you to be the representative of shadow in the darkness.” Her voice was calm, devoid of all emotion.
”I was right to believe in no beast but myself. However, I still made the mistake of considering you as an ordinary supreme elder of the Bloodsucking clan. I never once suspected you would be in cahoots with that shadow. That is my mistake! Hahahahah.....” Tears of blood slid down her face as she threw her head back and laughed with madness.
She remembered. She remembered everything now.
She was not Sailles. No.
She was Versailles Skyler. The gold serpentine of the Snake clan, the proud mate of the Werewolf King.
She was Versailles Skyler. The venomous snake, out for vengeance for the slaughter of her family, friends, and loyal subjects from her first life. She was the resentful witch out for vengeance for her failed revenge and the planned conspiracy of her death from her first life.
