Chapter 7 - CHAPTER SIX

They silently stared into the void, quietly waiting for someone they were expecting, trapped in a cell they couldn't escape, their hands bound in an unseen restraint.

 

"When can we get out of here?" "Asked a woman who is with them now.

 

Felicia didn't answer, she quietly looked around at their surroundings, she didn't hesitate to say that she would return to them when she passed away.

 

Leah has long been gone from the world, but due to revenge, she has become a soul that keeps returning to the world of the living.

 

How many decades have passed? Felicia used to ask himself. She had spoken to her before and asked for her to help because she had the ability to communicate with and see her past.

 

"Are you reminiscing about the past, Felicia?" She heard a gentle voice, looked at her, and she was smiling happily at her.

 

She didn't answer the question thrown at him. She stared at it intently.

 

"Until when will your revenge end, Leah?" she couldn't help but ask the woman.

 

She laughed softly at her. "When?" she thought for a moment.

 

"Until I get tired of looking at your faces."

 

Leah sat down and looked at them with crossed arms, her outfit a mourning dress, her face full of greed, wearing black shoes as well.

 

Queen of darkness, as they say. Description of her mind.

 

"Leah, I'm begging you, we've been imprisoned here for decades, don't worry, we won't forget the promise we made to you back then," Fredrick said.

 

She smirked at the man, stood up, and approached them.

 

"Oh no, I won't be swayed by your pity anymore, Fred," her voice still sweet. "My pity for you was completely exhausted when I was still alive." She looked at him sharply.

 

She stared at the person next to Fredrick, Angely, who slowly smiled.

 

"You're with the one you love, Fredrick." She said, still pondering.

 

"Don't worry, your sister is okay. You know I can't hurt a living person, she really inherited that from you, Angely." She laughed mockingly at the person in front of her.

 

"Sheila really takes after you, sister."

 

"Don't involve my younger sister here in this, Leah," Angely said angrily.

 

"As I said, I just visited her, I didn't do anything wrong to your sister." Leah shook her head.

 

"Why did I get caught up in your revenge, Leah? I have nothing to do with this." She interjected to grab Leah's attention.

 

Leah just looked at her silently, raised an eyebrow, and slowly smiled.

 

"Are you having an amnesia now, Felicia? Have you forgotten what you did to me back then? My soul wanted to be at peace, but you failed me, and voila – this is what I have become now," she asked her back.

 

Felicia was about to speak when she spoke.

 

"I know your adopted child will be affected, right?" she just sighed.

 

"People, people, people, you really are using others to escape from here."

 

"Don't worry, you won't escape from here no matter what you do, you will never escape from that cell,"

 

"I told you before, I am your karma."

 

Little by little, it was consumed by darkness.

 

"Find a way, Felicia," Frederick ordered her.

 

She just sighed at the one who ordered him.

 

"I know Sharlene will help us; we just need to wait." That's all she could say.

 

They didn't say anything more.

 

"Sharlene will save us." She said with full conviction that Sharlene would help them.

 

Even though the child she raised back then was not her real grandchild, she knew Sharlene's nature; she was ready to do anything for her.

 

"Ah, I can smell your greed today, Felicia." Leah suddenly appeared, smiling at her.

 

"I can really smell your ambition, I know you and Felicia are just waiting to become a soul, right?" she even chuckled softly at them.

 

They felt a hot steam rising from the ground, Felicia felt her breath being chased, even though she was already a soul, she still felt fear.

 

"L--- Leah, stop it – already." that's what Fredrick heard while looking at Leah.

 

Little by little, their cell was shrinking, little by little, he was losing air in his lungs, they were chasing every breath they took.

 

Their sweat dripped, and the three of them lay down as if being placed in a coffin.

 

"My body hasn't even been buried in the ground yet, are you going to bury me again?" she asked even though she was having difficulty breathing at that time.

 

Leah just smiled at them, and laughed, delighted that they were suffering at her hands.

 

"Y – you won't be able to enter heaven, you'll fall into hell!" She shouted at her, fighting against what she couldn't see before.

 

"Heaven?" this made Leah laugh again." "You probably think that you will go to heaven?" No, my dearest friends, you will fall and fall into hell."

 

He looked at them with a sharp gaze and her face became serious.

 

"I told you before, I will fetch your souls from hell."

 

"We will play here, just like you played with my life before."

 

Felicia's breathing stops, she will lose consciousness, something will suddenly fall on her body, a sharp object.

 

I'm dead, I shouldn't be feeling this pain. She could only say it in his mind.

 

"Ah!" "Angely's scream echoed.

 

"It's so hot! It's so hot! I don't want too anymore! "It seems to be burning because it is struggling to escape, its whole body is on fire, it is screaming due to what it feels in its body.

 

She looked at herself, saw blood on her hand, she was scared, she saw images.

 

Images that she is desperately trying to forget. She sees young Sharlene, hiding as if fleeing from something, she saw someone chasing her, but she, she was holding a stick back then.

 

"Oh, what a passionate grandmother you are, look at that, you were oppressing a little child back then." She laughed and looked at her meaningfully.

 

"I bet," Leah said in a whisper, "that child no longer remembers how you mistreated her. Don't worry, I'll remind her again." Leah laughed.

 

Every hit and abuse she inflicted on the child, she felt it; she never thought she was hurting Sharlene so much when she was young, because she was adopted by her child, she didn't recognize her as a grandchild. All her anger towards the world back then was absorbed by Sharlene, absorbed by a defenseless child.

 

"F--- Forgive me." Felicia just whispered, her body battered and she was crying in. pain

 

She heard loud laughter.

 

"We're not done yet, we're just getting started, Felicia. Now that the three of you are here, my palace will no longer be lonely." Leah exclaims with excitement in her eyes.

 

Her body collapsed, she couldn't feel each of her muscles anymore.

 

She looked around again, now she shouldn't give up, she needed to get out of here, she secretly glanced at Leah who was sitting and looking at her, grinning at them.
