Chapter # 31 : Under control.

do I still taste of war?
Can you still feel the battles on my skin stiched across my back?
am I still rebuilding bone by fragile bone?”
             — what does forgiveness taste like? ( r.n.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adrienne's P.O.V.

The fact that I feel dead isn't shocking. I have felt like that majority of my life.

My limbs feel stiff as I move and it feels like my eyes are glued shut.

“ Wakey Wakey!!” An annoying off- kazoo sing song voice is there to greet me.

I feel my hands after a minute and I pry my eyes open with my hands.

Did they really glue your eyes? Moonile's voice reaches me.

It has been a while friend. I reply back.

My eyes open and sudden flash of very bright light enters my eye and GOD.

Dracula honey. Same!

I am here now. Forever. Moonile says.

I almost chuckle in the mid frenzy of opening my eyes.

I'm glad Moon. I really am. I sigh.

My eyes adjust to the area around me.
I am in the middle of the trees?

I look towards a figure sat at the far right.

“Lamarck.” Venom drips from my voice as I address him.

How the hell did I get here?!

The last thing I remember is falling into Vladimir's arms. And then nothing.

NOTHING!

I grab my head as immense pain shoots in my scalp. 

I fist my fingers around my hair and suppress a scream.

“ What the hell did you do to me? ” I hiss out loud.

I feel him next to me. “ I did nothing. Yet. These are just the flashbacks of what you've done.”

I hear a snap of fingers and I am teleported back to when I was in my kingdom.

Its like watching from a different body.
I see myself  flying above the clouds.
It is where I discovered the crown.

High up in the middle of the biggest crowd, I see a big buzzing. It's a blue circle and inside floats a box.

I approach it. This must be the crown.

I go forward and try to penetrate the blue circle but a big flash pushes me back.
And a voice comes into my head.
“ To unlock this you have to sacrifice.
Your soul, body and piece of mind.
But if you have a lie, I must warn
That at the end you will be torn.
The dagger of truth will make it clear.
If you have the love then pierce.
Nothing other than your loyal heart.
To show your lies and truths apart.”

What? And I see a dagger right next to the blue circle.
It has a purple back. I grab at it from the leather handle. I touch the tip of the dagger and my finger burns.
Iron!

I look up towards the blue circle.

Test. It's a test.

“ I love you Vladimir.” And I plunge the dagger into my heart. A searing pain rips through my chest. It was immense pain one second and then nothing.
