Chapter 91: Ember’s Monsterization (4)

"How– how can I kill someone? I, I never—"

Her breathing quickened and the excitement that was present in her chest had already vanished.

She had just killed someone, and that person was human, a living and breathing person, like her.

He must have a family, a loved one, friends, and people who cared about him.

He must have a home where someone would be waiting for his return, but, Ember took his life away, and that person would not be returning ever.

"Why?"

Ember fell on her knees, and her face contorted into an expression of fear and confusion.

"I-I didn’t want to do it, b-but,"

She clenched her hands and closed her eyes as she felt her heart pounding in her chest.

"He was trying to kill me, I-I had no choice,"

The girl kept speaking and her body was beginning to tremble.

"He was going to torture me,"

Tears welled up in her eyes and the salty liquid soon ran down her cheeks, causing streaks of white to appear on her red-covered face.

"It is his— his fault,"

She was in denial, and her words were filled with self-blame.

"Yes, his fault,"

She nodded her head and wiped her tears, but, it was not enough and they just kept flowing down.

"He... He was a bad person,"

Her words were shaky and she was looking for any reason to justify her action, but, she was failing miserably.

"It was his fault, it was his fault,"

Ember kept repeating her words and tried to convince herself that what she did was right, and that person deserved it.

"Yes, he was a bad guy. Yes, Yes, Yes, he— he deserved it, he deserved it,"

However, her attempts were futile and the more she kept talking the more guilt she felt.

"He, he, he— No— I, I—"

Instinctively, she moved her hands and grabbed her head, before pressing the palm of her hand against her temples.

"I just killed him, I— I am a murderer,"

The girl was in a state of utter panic, and without her knowing her legs moved and made her crawl back until she hit the bathtub behind her.

There, lying against it, she hugged her legs and brought them close to her chest, before hiding her face between her legs and arms.

"Please, let it be a dream. A dream, just a dream,"

Her cries were echoing in the bathroom, and the smell of blood was lingering in the air.

"Please,"

The girl kept crying and kept pleading that everything was just a dream and would go away.

But, it was not, and the reality was too harsh.

It was all real, and Ember had just killed someone.

Her subconscious mind didn’t accept it, and the guilt was eating her up from the inside.

She was feeling like a murderer, a killer, a monster, and the smell of the blood was proof of her doing.

Just a few days ago, she was just a naive, innocent, and clumsy girl who was living her life.

Not perfect, not happy, not sad, not angry, but, a normal life.

She may have lived getting stomped on by unknown people, she may have lived being used and played with, and she may have lived her whole life being lied to.

But, she endured it, every single shit, she endured it and accepted it.

After all, she knew that is how the world worked.

The rich ate the poor, the strong trampled on the weak, and the innocent were sacrificed for those fucking selfish bastards.

In simple words, the poor were a type of stairs for the rich to climb the heights of the social ladder, and they didn’t even care about the person who was carrying them.

They didn’t give a shit and would just go on.

The same goes for the society, where the majority is always the dominant one.

When the minority raises their voices, they are called rebels and are crushed, either by the society itself or by their own people.

That is the life and a truth that Ember had known since the beginning of her life.

Being born blind wasn’t that much of a trouble for her since her family was there to help her through the hardest and toughest of the times.

Her disability didn’t bother her a bit and she just accepted it as a part of her.

She treated it as her charm, her specialty, and as a thing that sets her apart from others.

However, her charm soon turned into a curse when she was first exposed to the outside world and was called ’Disgusting’ by some unknown girls who didn’t know shit about her.

She was told to just shut her eyes and not make noise, and that she would only be a nuisance.

Those words were enough to cause her beliefs to shatter.

And after that, everything went downhill.

Ember, who was the brightest and kindest among her family, was always ignored by her own teacher, but, never by the bullies.

The girls would bully her, the boys would curse at her as if their breakfast wouldn’t be digested without a daily dose of swearing.

And even though her parents knew about her problem, they couldn’t help her as their family wasn’t rich enough.

She was a perfect example of the saying, "Ignorance is bliss."

But, the problem was that her ignorance didn’t last long and she began to question the things that happened around her.

For instance, why was everyone calling her ’Disgusting’ or ’Freak’?

She had a disability, and she couldn’t control it.

Why did people have to call her by shitty names?

What did they gain from it?

What did they want from her?

The questions were there, but, she didn’t have any answers, and they were only making her life harder.

The bullying would get worse and her life would get hell, but, she would endure it all and never complain about it to her family.

The reason?

Her family was too busy working day and night just to earn money, and they didn’t even have a peaceful night to sleep.

If she kept bothering them with her problems, then it would only make their life harder, and she didn’t want that.

So, she just stayed quiet and kept suffering alone.

And it would have been better if her disability wasn’t so obvious and noticeable, but, her eyes were fucking green and she had crimson hair.

It was like a goddamn fucking flag telling people that she was a special case and would be a target of bullying.

So, as time passed, she got used to it and became accustomed to the life she was living.

But, what happened now?

She was able to endure all and everything before, so, why couldn’t she do the same thing now?

Why did her personality change so suddenly?

To the point where she even killed someone?

What was the reason behind her drastic change?

Who or what was the cause behind it?

She was able to get over her family’s death, she was able to survive being homeless for 5 years, but, why can’t she just get the fuck over the fact that Nellas fooled her?

Why did she let it affect her thoughts, her mind, and her actions?

What made her lose her calm, and become a killer?

’Why? Why? Why? Why? WHY!??’

Ember kept asking herself about nothing in particular, it was just her mind needlessly running here and there without any specific direction.

It was all because her brain was trying to distract itself from the fact that she just killed someone.

But, the distraction wasn’t enough and the guilt was eating her up.

"I just can’t accept this,"

Ember’s lips moved and her words came out of her mouth, and they were barely audible due to the arms and the legs which were muffling her voice.

"I can’t accept this,"

Saying it, her right hand which was holding her left arm tightened and her nails dug into her skin.

"Please, make it stop,"

A soft plea escaped her mouth. She just wanted to stop the mental torment she was going through.

But, as the saying goes, "If God doesn’t have mercy on you, then the Devil has it."

"Please, please,"

Ember kept repeating the word ’please’, hoping at least the devil would listen to her.

"SYSTEM! MAKE THIS SHIT STOP!"

Her voice raised, and her head which was hiding between her arms and legs moved up and was now facing the ceiling.

The bruise on her face had already vanished due to the life force she got from the assassin.

Now, her face was just covered in her own tears and the blood that had splattered on her face.

"Please,"

In a low, but, audible voice, she pleaded again, and this time, her voice was full of sadness and grief.

But, there was no—.

DING!!!
