Chapter 53 - Ticking Bomb

Selene ~~

I wasn't even sure who I was yelling at.

Everyone. No one. Myself.

And just when I thought I would break apart,

that soft voice returned again.

It whispered gently, almost like a lullaby:

"You can fight it, Selene. Don't let it take you. You're stronger than this."

But I wasn't.

I wasn't stronger.

Not anymore.

Whatever was inside me—

It was winning.

It was so much stronger than me.

And darker.

And angry.

Then… I heard myself speak.

But it wasn't me.

"Let me go, peasants."

The voice that came out of my mouth was cold.

Sharp.

Inhuman.

I was still awake in there.

Still fighting.

I could see what was happening, but I couldn't stop it.

It was like I was watching from behind glass, screaming without sound.

The monster had taken over.

It tried to rise.

Tried to stand.

But someone was still holding me down.

Someone stronger.

Whoever it was, they weren't letting go.
