Chapter 24

"Leave me... from now on." I uttered with a serious voice as I was looking at her eyes directly. There were no emotions at her face, then slowly drawn with a wicked smile... that turned into a mocking laugh.

"Really? Should I?" She implied, completely mocking me. She let out a deep sigh, and suddenly there were no emotions at her face again. The car's atmosphere went colder than usual, and the goosebumps were too intense. “If I will die, you will die too, Alice." She said with those sly tongue.

"Why would I? It seems like you are still wanting to use my body? Why? Are you still weak? Can't you go and take that revenge yourself?!" I screamed. Tears were starting to moistening my eyes, and as long as I could help it, I'll never let her see any falling tears from my eyes.

The side of her lip rose. Here eyes were starting to get red, as her fangs were slowly coming out.

"I can take your life away, Alice. I surely can. I can even end it right now,, and just take over with this body... but there's something you needed to do. I know your curiosity would drive us here, so waited for this day to come." She responded, staring directly at my eyes. I instantly looked away as I felt some strange burning sensation around my eyes.

"Stop it, I commanded.

"Look at me, Alice. Stare at my eyes," she whispered. I instantly shook my head, fighting the feeling of being hypnotized. I felt like my world were spinning, and my head was breaking into half.

"I said, stop it!" I tried screaming yet, all I could feel was the feeling of being hypnotize. I

was feeling dizzy.

"Look at me!" She said in between her gritting teeth as she captured my jaws and forced me to look directly in her eyes.

The moment I came to see how bloody her eyes turned, I started to get frighten of her. Her presence is too heavy to handle; and she, herself is a complete danger. That monent, I came to see how frightening she were despite those angelic, and kind face. She is a total danger, no one... no one could avoid. Her prey will be capture by her, by hooks or by crooks.

I swallowed hard as I tried to fight with her in our staring battle, but seconds passed, I felt like my world were slowly spinning. I feel like vomiting.

"You're using a spell on me," I stated with a weak voice. I began coughing hardly, as I was grasping an air. I tried opening the car's window yet Shivana instantly locked it.

"Uh-huh? I really like your smart mind, Alice." She commented. I was desperate to breath some air, that's why I was slamming my hand against the glass, hardly. "But, I really hate it when you are trying to outsmart me. I did choose that site for you to know that I know what you are planning. I know, you are trying to get rid of me. And, if possible... you want me to disappear completely. And, by just thinking that 'you' want to end the life that I am still not able to fix completely drives me livid. I am a Queen. I should be the superior. And you? You should follow everything I say!" She screamed again as she put her hand at my neck, chocking me. Her fangs were showing again, and from that innocent looking face, she transformed into a someone who completely looks terror.

She was wearing something of a headdress, her eyes were covered with a complete dark color, and only her eyes were emphasized by its bloody color. Her fangs slowly showed up, with some traces of blood flowing from her mouth. There was something of a black veil covering a little portion of her face.

I tried struggling againts her, yet she indeed, became stronger thorough the years that passed while I was getting weaker.

" If I die today, remember that I'll never let your take my body. I know how you end up getting killed, Shivana! The man who loves you, was the one who stabbed you!" I screamed desperately as I was trying to get off from her hold. I noticed her brow knitted, but it was then already covered up by her scary aura. She didn't budge, but her grip at my neck lossen a bit.

"You're being crazy. I killed him. It was me who killed him." She said, under a gritting teeth. Her jaws were clenching as her eyes were getting more and more intense and bloody. She was indeed scary.

"That man wrote a book. A lot of books as he lived his very long and lonely life. He perished from everyone's eyes after he stabbed you. He was living by his own. No one heard from him. And, he wrote everything to ease his loneliness, and later found himself writing about you." I started talking, and suddenly she aggressively held my neck at his hand again.

"You're fooling me, right? He died with me. The three of us died. I killed both of them." She responded angrily as she tightened her grip. I tightly closed my eyes, as I was trying to pull myself together, trying to speak.

"W- why? Don't y- you remember the o- other man w-who lo-loves you? H-have you forgot something, Shivana?" I implied, despite getting out of air. I need to confirm it!

"Tell me. Tell me!" She screamed, livid. Thunder striked near the car, as I could see black smoke getting out of her body. She wasn't able to notice how her emotions were consuming her, that she even made tge thunder strike in a bright sunny day.

"L- let me g-go," I whispered. She was hesitant, and even held my neck tightly and I have no choice but to close my eyes. I will choose to understand her livid. She must have kept it for years.

And, within a few seconds... she loosened her grip and slowly tool her hand out of my neck. She was facing me yet she was completely looking at nowhere.

"Nicolas..." she uttered and disappered.
