The Villainess's Great Revenge

"What...what are you talking about?!" Stood up and backed away from Harper. Her face had turned incredibly pale and terror filled her eyes.

"Why are you avoiding me, sister? Harper slowly rose to her feet and asked, her eyes looked strangely obsessive. "What's wrong? Aren't you excited? Us sisters can now reunite after two lives!"

"No, no, no! I don't want anything to do with you!" Evelina's back hit against the wall and she was completely cornered. Harper just kept approaching her. Just as Evelina and her were close enough, Harper let out a soft laugh and appeared to have calmed down.

"I never knew I could scare you to this extent. Now I know why you loved the frightened look on my face. It really is satisfying seeing the person you despise the most scared of you." Harper sighed and played with a lock of her long brown hair. She smiled at the quivering Evelina before placing a hand on her bloody knee. Suddenly, a bright light glowed from her hand and the bloody knee seemed to have healed.

"What..." Evelina couldn't believe her eyes. It took her a few seconds to realize something.

Harper caught on to what was on Evelina's mind and sneered. She didn't say anything after and just left the room. She closed the door behind her and from the corner of her eye, she saw a feminine figure standing against the wall of the door.

"So you're really her?" Angelina questioned. Not appearing to be shocked.

Harper just stood there, silent. Only after a few seconds did she respond, "Yes. I guess this is the first time you've met me. But I actually know a lot about you, Lilith or... older sister."

"..." Angelina thought she had uncovered Harper's secret already, but it seems there's more to discover than what she had previously expected.

"... Why don't we go somewhere a little more private?" Harper suggested. Soon after Angelina agreed. They chose the empty lounge and locked the door.

"How do you know all of that?" Angelina asked.

"Well for short, I've been watching you. Um, not as in stalking! But more like... Hm, maybe it's better to just tell you the full story." Harper sighed, looking conflicted on how to go about explaining. She took a deep breath and warned, "This is going to take a while. You sit down, older sister."

Angelina sat down on one of the armchairs and Harper sat on the other side. She took a deep breath once again and began explaining,

"The last thing I remembered when I was still... Um me, it's just cold. Very cold. Then I felt my eyes become heavy and my body was so sore after all the medicines I consumed for my illness. It reached the point where I didn't have the strength to keep my eyes open. My vision faded to black and the surrounding was still very cold. But then something warm held me into an embrace. It was akin to a warm hug. I was able eyes after my body cooled down and I was met with a very beautiful woman. Her eyes and forehead were covered by a white cloth but she was smiling. Even though I couldn't see her full appearence, I knew she was friendly and didn't mean any harm."

"Wait. Your, pardon me, at that time...dead, right? Is that woman possibly the... Goddess?" Angelina pieced things together and asked.

"Yes, that was the Goddess. She goes by many names in the tales people have created, however she told me she has no name but prefers to go by Tertisha." Harper patiently answered before continuing. "She held my hand as she toured her grand palace with me. It was the most beautiful sight I have ever laid eyes on. The heavenly palace contained an infinite amount of rooms and halls. I thought we were alone, but it turns out there were other people. They were the past Siennas."
