Too Bad..3

Kimberly could be seen as she made her way through the woods, walking towards the direction of her car. When suddenly she received this excruciating pain in her lower abdomen.  The pain was so intense that she ended up tripping over her own feet and face landing in the dirt.

The pain grew more and more intense  until she couldn't handle it anymore. She lifted her cloak in a swift motion, looked at where the pain was  affecting her and found that her skin was  turning gray as dark veins started to  appear.

"Argh.." she groaned. 

"Clack.!" 

She heard a click from above her and  when she looked up, she saw no one. Glancing around no one seems to be in the woods except her. 

With a rough sigh, Kimberly groaned trying to lift herself up as the pain began to  intensify and when she managed to stand..

"I'm going to take great joy in killing  you... putting you down like the little bitch you are.." Kimberly heard a voice behind her and she snapped her eyes towards the person. It was none other than Lucia.

"You should have ran when you had  the chance.." she snarled earning a scoff from Kimberly. 

The snake had finally shown its fang... 

In Kimberly's mind, Lucia is just a cunning snake. She hadn't seen through her schemes at the cave and had fallen in to it. 

However...

Kimberly winced in pain. Air suddenly froze in her throat, the pain is beginning to burn her.

Lucia took a step forward. She fisted her palms hard, her knuckles turning pale. 

"Too bad.. You leave me no choice," She uttered and  raised her hand. Before Kimberly could do  anything to react or defend herself, Lucia muttered some strange spells and immediately grabbed her by the neck, her long nails digging into Kimberly's skin. It was after some minutes that she'd let go of her neck.

Kimberly stumbled. The pain piercing through her felt excruciatingly painful and it drained all the strength out of her. 

Her knees buckled and she collapse onto  the ground. The next moment, she heard series of hysterical laughter as Lucia's footsteps faded away. 

Kimberly clenched her teeth against  the pain, raising her head to look up at Lucia's retreating back. Her lips parted, as if she wanted to say something but  in the end, nothing came out, and she  closed her eyes.

Seeing herself like this hurt even more  than the pain Lucia inflicted on her. Kimberly still remembered this was only the beginning of her revenge but everything seems to be against her.

No. This can't happen. They had already  made her go through this five of years ago, and she can't let it happen  again.

Not while she's still alive..!

Kimberly's hand gripped on of the trees. Summoning all her strength, she pulled herself up and she gritted her teeth as she began dragging herself slowly out of the woods. 

The heavens has already given her the chance... then she choose  to live. She will cherish this second chance  and use it to pay back those that wronged her. 

"This is only a test.. from the heavens.."  She muttered feebly but clearly as she kept dragging herself weakly.

"It takes a lot more than this to put me down.. and it will never happen. I promise you all... I swear."

With those words, her strength finally  drained. Her head grew dizzy, probably  due to the spell Lucia muttered minutes ago and the world started spinning. 

Kimberly managed to take out her phone. She went through her contacts but she had no one close that could help her at that moment. She scrolled and scrolled until her eyes caught Mr. Stone. 

Lucas..?

She didn't want to burden him as he had already done enough for her in her past. But having no other choice, she dialed his number. It went through but he wasn't picking up.

Kimberly called and called him but it seemed that he was not taking the call anytime soon.

Just as she thought of giving up, she scrolled for the last time and unknowingly her hand dialed a number saved with "MMM".

Immediately, the call went through...

Life began leaving her slowly as her breath was hitching. It felt like all the life was being sucked out of her. Her breath was shakily and she felt a pain so excruciating that it almost was like she was being skinned alive.

"Help..." She muttered..

Kimberly knew she sounded ridiculous even to her hearing but she just can't help it.. can she..? 

The woods itself even seemed vacated... no one in their right mind would wander inside the tick woods by that time of the day. 

However...

"Help.." she muttered feebly again and all of a sudden... 

"Hello..."

She heard a voice from her phone and with her last breath she muttered...

"Help... help me.." 

Slowly, nature snatched her consciousness away...

~~ COUNTRY M,  NORTH MOON ~~

~ ALEXANDER'S ROOM ~

Alex just had his bath, and had just worn his night trousers. He was about wearing the shirt when one of his phones began ringing.

He walked to where he kept and his brows furrowed as he saw his private phone ringing. His private phone hardly rings and it is only few people had his private number. And the calling now was not save, so it could only mean one of two things. It could either be that one of the people that had his private number called with another number or that the person calling him was mistaken.

Staring at the number... 

"An unknown number" He muttered and picked the call.

"Hello..." he said at first but no reply came..

"Hello..." he said again and this time..

"Help... help me.."  A female voice sounded feebly from the other side of the phone.

At that moment...

Immediately, Alex heard that familiar voice.

Isn't that... His little sheep..?!

"Hello..?" He called thinking of what he just heard her say but no response came.

"Hello..?" He called again but the response was still the same and he hanged up the call.

Immediately, Alex copied the number of the call he just received and sent it to Ethan. He called Ethan and he picked up instantly.

Seems like he has already received the text...

"Alpha.." Ethan called respectfully from the other side of the phone. 

"Find me the location of that number I just sent to you... now." He said.
