Chapter 206: She No Longer Knows Who She Is

"Let go, Bella."

The Hollow One's voice was softer now.

Not demanding.

Not cruel.

Almost… gentle.

"It will be easier if you stop fighting."

Bella's fingers trembled.

Because she could feel it.

The line between herself and the Hollow One was disappearing.

She wasn't standing in a prison anymore.

Wasn't standing at all.

She was drifting.

Floating.

Slipping into something dark, something endless, something that had no beginning and no end.

"This is what you were always meant to be."

Bella's chest ached.

Because she wasn't sure if that was a lie.

And worse?

She wasn't sure if she cared anymore.
