Chapter 85 - The Sacrifice and The Trigger (2) (1/2)

I saw red, splashing on the bed and Amanda's body. The thick smell of iron invaded my senses. The cry filled with agony and pain made my whole body trembled in fear. Despite the horrid scene happened in front of me, my eyes were still wide opened, too shock to close my eyes. I could feel all the colors drained from my face.

Until today, I still have a nightmare because of it.

The glaring red of blood filled my sight and suddenly I felt nauseous. The body on the bed was now twitching in agony. Blood kept spurting from the fresh wound on his chest. His eyes rolled to the back of his skull and his face scrunched up from the immense pain.

I was so shocked with what had happened to Senior Rizal that my mind started screaming that it was not real; that I was only dreaming and I needed to wake up.

I didn't even realize the tears had formed two small rivers on my face and I had been chanting the same words over and over; wake up, wake up, wake up Jane.

Suddenly, the twitching stopped and I blinked my sore eyes to make sure I didn't see it wrong.

Yes, the twitching stopped.

And yes, he had stopped breathing, too.

There was a huge lump in my throat and my heart thumped even wildly. My whole body was shaking with fear as I reached towards his wrist. Unfortunately, I couldn't touch him and it made me even anxious.

”No, no, no, no, no...” I kept saying the same words like a broken record. My tears kept flowing on my cheeks.

”It must be a dream. It must be a dream. It must be a dream.” I whispered to myself.

Lunatic laugh filled my ears and I found the source was no other than Amanda.

Her right claws was still dripping with fresh blood as her eyes filled with thirst for blood. Her tongue peeked from between her slightly dark lips, licking the blood on her lips. Her current image was like a cold blooded killer combined with lunatic member of Satan sect, like a bloodthirsty psychopath.

”Too bad. I'll use your blood to nourish our child.” She said icily as she rubbed her belly.

I was still having a hard time to properly breathe. The only thing that could hold me back from breaking down was I believed it was only a dream and I reminded myself to treat it as if I was watching some gore movie.

Yes, I was just watching some bloody scene.

Then, I heard someone called my name; a very familiar voice.

”Jane...”

Turning my head to the source of voice, my eyes widened once again as my breath hitched.

It was Senior Rizal with his chest dripping with blood, standing not too far from me. I turned my head to look in front of me and I saw Senior Rizal lying motionless in his pool of blood on his bed.

”Oh, you're finally here.” Amanda smirked as she stared right at Senior Rizal in my back. ”Now you've met her, right? My last gift for you before I'll tie you up with me forever.”

That was my last thread of hope. I was not dreaming. I was in another dimension, the dimension where all ghosts and souls stayed which explained why Senior Rizal couldn't see me just now.

Now that he was dead, he was in the same dimension as I was in and he could see me.

But, that was it. As my last thread of hope vanished in my sorrow of losing the one I wanted to save, I felt something snapped inside me.

I heard nothing.

I felt nothing.

I could only see a very clear scene of Amanda pulling Senior Rizal with some sorts of metal chain. Her face was a description of evil being and Senior Rizal was her prey.
