"Really, Sarah? The men from the Lens family? You've had them all?"
Sarah laughed.
"Don't be jealous, miss. It was your destiny to meet them all, too."
"Answer me, Sarah." Anna ordered without changing her voice.
"Of course I was. They're so alike, the young ones, of course. I could only tell when it was Allister who was touching me. His hands were wrinkled and his penis wasn't very firm."
"You've been with Adam, Ryan, Max..."
"Oh, you think there are only those three? No, my dear. There are many of them. And they're all the same. They liked to blindfold me so that I'd try to figure out whose penis was being shoved up my vagina. Obviously, I never got it right."
"You... I thought you loved Adam..."
"I did. I wanted a family, and he's the most decent man in the Lens family."
"Max..."
She let out a laugh.
"Max?" She asked, still trying to control herself. "Do you know what species you crossed with and had offspring with, Anna? I knew you were a nymphomaniac, but you should choose better what goes inside you. When you find out... I wish I could be here to see the look on your face..."
"You can tell me now, and know my expression. You'll die satisfying your will."
"I, like you, have taken unbreakable oaths, Anna. I can't say anything that has been revealed to me by the spirits."
"I didn't swear unbreakable oaths..."
"Oh, yes, you did."
Anna looked around.
"Are you enjoying your new accommodations?"
"It's a nice change. At least it's cleaner than the room I was living in." She replied mockingly.
Anna gestured for her to turn her gaze to the instruments of torture in front of her and said happily, wanting her to refuse the offer she needed to make before she began.
"Do you know what for, and why these instruments are here?"
Sarah looked at everything indifferently, then stared at Anna sarcastically.
"Do you intend to use all this on me? I think we're going to spend a long time together... What an honor?"
"You have no idea how much... However, if the idea doesn't appeal to you, I can skip this whole process with the instruments you can see, and get right to the end. If you tell me all about my mother willingly."
"Something tells me it'll be better for me to go through all the steps you've planned, to get to the end..."
"It's your last chance, Sarah."
"My girl... You're sending me to be with my son. Yes. I had a son, with your father. He... What is there in this life for me that is still worthwhile? If you offered me an elegant place and guaranteed my comfort forever, I'd find a reason to live. I could cling to something in this life... But I'm alone, just like your mother said I would be one day. I have nothing and no one. What's the point of living?"
"I can give you what you want."
"Anna... You're not good at lies. You only deceive those who don't know you and where you come from. You would never hand over a happy, comfortable place to the murderer of your mother, who tried to kill you with your child in her womb. No, Anna. I'm not a fool."
"It's true. What you've done has left a gaping wound in my chest that will only close and heal the day I bury you. But you can escape torture, since you have nothing to lose, tell me what you know and die peacefully. You seem to be keen on torture."
"And I do Anna. I could tell you everything I know, but then I'd die, without leaving an eternal mark on you. Do you think there won't be consequences for your actions? You torture me today, and your soul will burn tomorrow. You'll never meet your mother. You started hell when you sentenced the witches. You deprived them of their positions with the werewolves. You're going to live your hell here, and I think it's going to be a lot worse than what I'm going to live."
Anna took a deep breath.
"All right. If that's the way you want it, I'll leave. Tomorrow I'll be back, and I won't accept making a deal with you anymore." Anna said, looking at her in disgust.
Anna couldn't believe what that snake was saying. In her simulated way, she was trying to escape her punishment. She knew she was the avenger of her mother's blood, and she wouldn't shirk that responsibility.
"Are you really going? I thought we'd spend an afternoon together..."
"Not today. It's been an eventful day, and I feel an overwhelming desire to go back to the mansion and see my son. But don't be anxious. I'll be back after lunch tomorrow." Anna said and left. Adonis followed her in silence until they had finished climbing the stairs, and after he had locked the door leading to the basement, he stopped in front of Anna.
"Beware of this woman. She's a person dominated by strange convictions. It would be better if you cut out her tongue so that she doesn't curse you."
"Reassure yourself. Her words have no power over me."
"But she made a boy fall in love with her."
"I know that. But I'm not going to drink anything she's done. And I need her to be able to talk. That's the biggest reason I'm going to make her suffer."
"I hope not. There's one thing you don't know about Leon."
"Then tell me."
"When he was in love with Sarah, he described her as a young woman with long, straight hair that was red at the ends, and eyes as green as emeralds. He said she must have only been about eighteen, and he didn't understand why we kept making jokes, saying that he had dumped his girlfriend, in the freshness of her age, to be with an older woman, this is not abnormal among werewolves, but Sarah exudes a bad smell, of something that is already dead, and we told him that she had nothing to add to his life. We only understood what was really going on when Mycon went to a sorceress to find a solution to remove the veil covering Leon's eyes. And Leon didn't understand why he saw her like that either." Adonis stopped talking when he noticed the tears Anna was shedding. "What? Did I say something wrong?"
