Chapter 132: DELULU

The next time I opened my eyes, it was already evening. I could hear chatting outside, so I stood up, strolled to the terrace, and stared down.

My Beastmen had camped there, just exchanging words with each other, and Liora with Malachi was also there.

"The sky is beautiful. It reminds me of Raven’s eyes," Azrael said, and this made a smile curl to my lips hearing his heartfelt words, but then...

"My love," I heard the hypnotic whisper of Kael, and I fell down to my knees, holding my head. It hurt so much, It felt like radio waves moving through my head.

Just then, I knocked a flower pot over, and when it shattered, everyone stared up at me.

"Raven, are you okay?" Thyrian asked, and seeing I wasn’t responding, they disappeared into dust and appeared in front of me.

They all stepped forward, but I stretched out my hands at them, and a gushing wind hit them, holding them back and stopping them from getting closer.

"Didn’t she lose her power?" Veyra snapped, and they exchanged confused looks... I didn’t understand whatever was happening. I just felt a threat emanating from their bodies, and my body reacted before I could.

Azrael appeared right in front of me using his demon powers, but then a black dagger suddenly appeared in my hands. I moved towards him and straight-up plunged the dagger into his tummy. He froze.

I stared straight ahead with anger, cruelty flashing in my eyes, and my lips curled into a smirk. Then I heard Liora scream, and I snapped back to reality.

"What’s wrong?" I asked, staring at her pale, shocked face. Then hot red liquid dripped onto my arm, and I slowly shifted my gaze to the side. I froze and slid out the dagger I was holding.

Azrael poured out a mouthful of blood, his eyes fixed on mine. There was no shock, nor resentment, just confusion.

"What did you do?" Liora asked and rushed to him. The others did too. They didn’t spare me a glance and placed a cloth on his tummy, trying to stop the bleeding.

"What are you doing here? Help us!" Liora screamed, and I snapped out of my shock. The tears kept sliding down, though. I rushed down, holding the soaked cloth.

"Did I do this?" I asked, staring at my hands covered in blood. Nobody said a word, and then Liora and the others stretched out their hands. Different colours of their magic shimmered and went straight into the wound. Just like that, it closed, but it still left a mark.

I just stared in confusion and horror. Did I just become my ex and sister who killed me? I almost killed the man I loved.

"Are you okay?" Liora asked. Her hand reached to hold my elbow, but I crawled backwards.

"Don’t touch me!" I said, exchanging glances with them. My Beastmen just seemed puzzled, but they had no hate in their eyes. Only sadness lingered.

Azrael gasped, and then his gaze shifted to the dagger. No ordinary dagger could make him bleed this much.

"The dagger... it injured me, and that’s rare. It’s not ordinary!" he said, and the others’ eyes dimmed.

"Was she controlled, or was this a mission by the system?" Ryker asked Liora, and she sighed.

"The system only joins you guys in harmony together. It wouldn’t tell Raven to stab one of you," she said and looked up at me, but all I felt was nausea.

"You bitch, in this next life, you wouldn’t get happiness!" My sister Rosy’s words echoed in my ear.

"No one will accept you, you monster. You hurt everyone next to you!" Danny’s mocking words echoed, and then finally—

"Finally, I will have them. They were always mine to begin with... you imposter... you time traveler!" Elowen’s voice echoed, and I placed my hands over my ears, trying to shut out the words that kept ringing in my head.

Veyra reached out, but instead, I stood up and walked past them.

"I’m okay!" I said hurriedly and shut the door behind me. I slid down and buried my face in my thighs. I could remember Kael’s words. That bastard... what the hell did he do to me?

And then I scratched the spot where he had marked me and gritted my teeth. I stood up and walked to the mirror. I picked up the knife resting on the table and placed it against my neck.

"You bastard, you want me? I wouldn’t dare give you the chance!" I thought and settled the sharp tip next to the mark.

Just as I was about to stab, Azrael appeared and held my wrist.

"What are you doing? Let go!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and turned towards the door as I heard the floorboard creak.

"What are you doing? How dare you try to hurt yourself? Did you even think about us?" Liora asked and rushed to me, then collected the knife from my hands.

"Why try to kill yourself? You did something wrong, but clearly, you weren’t in control. But still, you can’t hurt yourself!" she snapped, and I raised a brow.

"Hurt?" I asked, and then she burst into soft laughter.

"Did you all think I wanted to kill myself?" I asked and turned to my Beastmen. They nodded and rushed towards me before I could say another word.

Why were their eyes suddenly filled with grief and even tears? Veyra scolded me.

"How dare you try to hurt yourself?" he said, and the words I wanted to utter died down.

"We love you. Don’t you dare try something stupid!" Thyrian said, and Ryker just nuzzled against my cheeks.

"Is that what you also think?" I asked Azrael, and his eyes dimmed. He stepped closer, his face gloomy and I swallowed hard. Does he hate and not trust me anymore?

I closed my eyes waiting for his hurtful words, but instead his hand gently patted my hair and my eyes snapped open "Don’t hurt yourself" he said, and I just stared in disbelief.

"I stabbed you!"

"Well, you chose to stab me. That’s a win!"
