Ch 119: What happened in Egypt [R-18]

[Viewer Discretion Is Advised.]

Blood was splattering and flying within the room. While everyone else still alive was screaming. Still, the lights were flickering on and off which made it hard to see what was going on. Throughout the room, I noticed bloody bodies on the floor. They were my team members! Blood covered their white coats and on the floor.

My neck kept turning in every direction. Trying to figure out who was killing them. Everywhere I look, blood is fleshly splashing on the wall whenever I hear someone dying in agonizing pain. Then I'd hear something scurrying and whipping around unnaturally fast.

One of the dead bodies was thrown across the room. His body was covered in blood as he hit the wall. I looked all over through the flicking darkly lit room. And I caught a glimpse of something that looked like a dried-out corpse. But it disappeared before I had any chance to see what it was.

"N-No! Noo!" I heard Tom scream before his voice gurgled into this creepy sound of him dying.

"Victoria! Come back to me!" Kai shouted like he was here with me.

"Kai?" I yelled over the dying horrified screams.

"Yes, come back to me!" Kai said again and I couldn't believe we could hear each other. Nobody can communicate with me while I am in between times.

Suddenly the screams in the darkroom were all but dead silent. The only thing I heard was the light voltage zapping.

"Get out of there, Victoria!" Kai hollered.

"I can't leave!" I cried looking around to only see bloody dead bodies along with blood covering the room between the flashing darkness. "I don't wanna leave, I have to see what happened in Egypt!"

"You don't need to see it!" Kai argued in desperation.

"I don't have control of this curse, Kai! I can't just leave and I don't wanna leave," I cried out to him as I heard something whip behind me.

I turned and saw nothing but blood on the walls. And things were quiet again till I heard a door open.

"Welcome back..." I heard this familiar voice but it was cut out by another voice coming through elsewhere before I could figure out whose voice it was.

"Victoria... come back to me," I felt something gently caressing my temples. "I can help you control it, my love."

I heard muffled voices talking but I couldn't make out what was being said anymore.

"No, I don't wanna leave," I cried when my eyes opened to see Kai gazing at me with his hands on my face. "I need to know what happened."

Kai gave me the softest look and said gently. "You don't need to know what happened. It will only further break your heart."

I lost control of my sobbing and he hugged me into his chest. I gripped underneath his ribcage tightly and cried harder tears. Kai held me as he rubbed my back and petted my hair while he cooed to soothe me.

I cried out for a good while until my crying stopped. "How did you do that?" I whispered when I slowly sat my head up from laying on his chest. To look at him lying comfortably back on the pillows.

"Do what?" Kai asked me like he was trying to avoid my question by playing dumb.

"Nobody has ever been able to communicate with me through the time gap.'" I said repeating my question. "How were you able to do that?"

Kai gave me this knowingly smile. "One day I'll explain that to you but not today."

I didn't bother trying to pry. Instead, I laid down on his chest and we both fell asleep.

~~~

During the next morning, Kai was gone but he texted to say he'll be back later around dinner. So I talked to Crystal for a bit after I took my shower.

After breakfast, I took my laptop to this private sunroom. I typed in the words blood-sucking monster in the search bar and waited for my results to load. Momentarily, I got the results of vampires and other demonic creatures. I borrowed around reading and looking at spooky pictures.

"None of these things would actually exist," I said to myself while scrolling through different websites. I tried to google what a blood-sucking monster would mean during the ancient Egypt dynasties. Vampire. This is the only clear result I could get. Vampire nerd or not, I know this isn't a logical explanation.

My memories flash back to seeing blood dripping down that Egyptian girl's neck. Her wound assembled that of a vampire's fangs had bit her.

"Lunch will be ready soon," I jumped out of my seat from someone speaking. I turned around and saw Mr. Collin there with a bright smile. "My apologies Victoria, I didn't mean to startle you."

"No, it's ok," I said, calming my heart rate. "I was so caught up in doing some..." My voice veered off when I looked back at my laptop that showed websites about vampires and images of them.

"I can see why I startled you," Mr. Collin chuckled teasingly. "I'd be creeped out too."

I couldn't help but chuckle with him. "I'll go return my laptop and have lunch," I said, shutting my laptop down before I stood.

"I'll see you in the dining room," said Mr. Collin as he turned his heel to walk out. Yet there was a question that nagged at me.

"Mr. Collin," I spoke so low and soft that I was surprised he heard me when I second guessed whether I should ask him this question.

"Yes, Victoria?" He turned back around asking me with a soft youthful gaze from those cosmetic surgeries. Now I thought about how I wanna ask him this question.

"I was curious to ask about what happened to that Pharaoh my team and I found back in Egypt?" I asked, nervously.

Mr. Collin didn't say anything right away before he answered with sincerity. "Unfortunately, the Pharaoh's remains that You discovered had been stolen after your team was murdered." I sorta gestured to understand before he touched my shoulder. "I am truly sorry for everything you have gone through. I know this hasn't been easy but I am glad to see you and Kai are doing better together."

Mr. Collin smiled softly and then he left the room. His kindness was a lot to take in. And I noticed how he empathized with how I found the Pharaoh. He's known I was the one responsible for finding the Pharaoh but he...

'I fired you to keep you safe.' Mr. Collin confessed. And that was the first time I met him after being bailed out of jail.

'You've woken the blood-sucking monster!' Again that Egyptian girl's words haunt me. As I can recall in my time-gap travel. Susie was trying to get out but someone on the outside locked them in. Like something nonhuman was in there with them but that isn't possible...
