Wicked Reincarnation

A dull sound of something falling faded and was replaced by a loud crunch that tore through the silence. Tears fell from her eyes and touched the broken glass pieces and shattered plastic. She stared at Elder P, not managing to bring a word out as the grip on her throat intensified.

Instead, she weakly mouthed a 'help' but Elder P's indifferent face cut deep into her heart before it fell to the broken glasses and the destroyed flower ornament Elder P gave her.

She gave everything of her. Loved him. Admired him. Helped him. Yet why was he just idly standing by, watching how another male touched her with the blazing intent to end her life?

Sera didn't understand. She didn't want to. Now without her glasses, she could barely see the outline of Elder P's figure and with the tears in her eyes, it only became more blurry.

She had long heard the rumours of Elder P's personality but believed she could touch his heart. In the end, she signed up for the facility and Tom assigned her to Elder P's floor.

Yet because of the sudden staff change last minute, she had to work for Second P and could only barely see Elder P when she secretly worked at his floor.

Yes, Sera coughed, it was all Kim's fault. That damned woman arriving and destroying everything.

She gave Lia a last hateful look and wished she was the one being strangled by Elder C while a sword tore her chest open and her wide eyes became misted with sadness seeing Elder P casually removing the sword from her.

"You were useless," these final words of his echoed in her mind and wrapped her in a hellish nightmare that she would never escape from in the afterlife. She didn't deserve this, she sobbed and the glint in her eyes disappeared.

Lia and Nessa still stood at the door and witnessed the scene before them. Nessa wanted to rush forward but Lia held her back.

It was still dark and Lia was sure that the elders didn't recognise her yet. Sera's dull body fell with a thud on the ground, lifeless.

And then it was silent.

So silent that no one could even hear their own breathing.

Lia now regretted to have brought Nessa along with her. She could neither use her powers nor was strong enough to protect her and take on both elders. She pulled Nessa to her side and then shoved her through the door, "Leave."

But Nessa shook her head, "I can help," she whispered back but she was also aware that she was a burden.

"Find Tim and help him."

"Kim, I won't be able to survive going alone through the ground floor," Nessa was decisive. She didn't want to leave Lia's side. She wanted to be of help in any form.

Without any warning she ran towards Elder P. Caught of guard by this, Lia cursed and commanded her corpses to come to her.

Lia ruffled her hair and rushed back to Nessa. Elder P and C didn't anticipate someone foolishly attacking them and briefly froze. Nessa took the moment and stole the bloody sword from Elder P's hands while at the same moment, Lia caught her arm and pulled her back before Elder C could lash out.

Elder C managed to pull out a few strands of Nessa's hand before only catching air. In anger, he threw the loose red strands away and reached into his robe. Lia caught his slight movement and jumped with Nessa back.

Her limp arm still didn't heal at all and she could only count the seconds it'd take her corpses to arrive. She squinted her eyes at Elder C when Nessa excitingly whispered, "I got the sword."

"Good. Keep it and protect yourself," Lia's voice faded and a cloth was pressed into Nessa's face.

A second before that Lia saw what Elder C pulled out and was stunned, the next it was thrown on the ground between them and white smoke quickly filled up the room.

Lia would have never guessed he possessed something like a smoke bomb. She calculated the options and decided to shield Nessa from it while the smoke entered her eyes as she frantically tried to detect and trace the movements form the other side.

When the smoke faded, Lia realised that both of them had escaped. This time Lia told Nessa again to stay here and protect herself. In case of anything, she left a few corpses at the entrance, so they could help Nessa but she also wouldn't see them.

Nessa finally agreed and holed herself in the office after Lia promised she would come back to get her. Then she moved to the spot where the two elders stood, close to the laboratory and felt around the walls.

At one wall, the same location as on Elder P's floor, her hand glided through. That was the secret passage Elder P used to traverse.

Lia entered and found herself in a similar room as the one from before. She kept quiet and tried to discern any sounds. This cat and mouse game was getting frustrating.

She decided to head to the fifth floor. If they were to go anywhere, it must be Elder P's own floor.

"Come," she told her corpses. Since Nessa was in the office, she couldn't see the undead walking around.

With them in tow, she quickly climbed the stairs to the fifth floor. However, there was no one. Lia called out, "Elder P. Elder C."

Soon afterwards voices appeared from outside, "You heard that? Someone's calling us."

"No way," Elder P spat.

"But it seems like it came from your private chamber."

"No one knows it."

"Elder P that damn girl clinging onto you knew, so stop trying to deny everything!" Elder C was fed up.

Lia's face blanked for a second. This… sounded way too childish. To think that mere clowns were responsible for her family's downfall.

Before Lia left the so-called private chamber, she removed the glasses and ran her fingers through her hair, briefly pushing the choppy bangs back and revealing her forehead.contemporary romance

A mocking smile graced her cold face and she stepped out. As she came out of the wall, she ordered two corpses to head to the door and the other two to stand in front of the wall so the elders couldn't escape.

The office light was casting shadows onto the wall and illuminating everyone in a dim shine.

"Elder P, Elder C," Lia repeated and this time the two males who stood at the table next to the windows turned to her.

Lia was still a distance away and they narrowed their eyes to make out her appearance.

"See someone bloody knew of your damn secret place," Eder C pointed at Lia and mockingly glared at Elder P.

Elder P, on the other hand, didn't reply and held his head up, "And who are you? What do you want?"

Lia stopped walking as she deemed the distance appropriate enough for them to recognise her if they concentrated and for them not being able to make a move without her having the leeway to escape.

She had thought for a long while what she would say to Elder P yet she couldn't prevent the next words from spilling out

"Indeed who am I? If you tell me the purpose of the facility, I might…" Lia remained quiet.

Both elders waited patiently for her to continue until their faces turned ugly,

"Dammit! Finish your sentence."

Elder P had a crude mouth but after Elder C shed off his pretence of being dignified all sorts of dirty slurs would come out of his mouth.

Lia remained unmoved and kept quiet. Elder C stepped forward before Elder P held him back.

"What the fuck you doing?" Elder C was incredibly short-tempered. All these years he had to pretend to be amiable and now that his mask finally fell, he felt much better and didn't hide his true nature.

Lia's lips curled up and under the dim light cast from the office, half of her face was hidden by darkness, making her look compelling yet dangerous.

She touched her short hair and said, "So, you've seen them?"

Elder C cluelessly stared around until his view fell on the corpses behind and in front of him. All kinds of profanities leapt from his mouth and polluted the air.

"Why don't you let them have a go with you? Elder P since you love it so much to stick it into others, why not have a change of pace and let it being stick inside of you? How does it feel to have a disgusting, erected thing viciously pounding your helpless form?"

Lia's voice was calm but tremendous anger seized her body and her eyes exuded extreme bloodthirst.

She heard First P's voice constantly echoing in her mind. It almost drove her insane and now that she stood in front to the culprit, her blood was boiling to the point it could even melt lava.

Elder P dared to defile her mother. He dared to.

Lia balled her fists but forced herself to remain levelheaded.

"You have a dirty mouth for a young lady," Elder P narrowed his eyes and fixated his gaze on her. She seemed very familiar.

"What a charmer," Lia laughed, "I never thought you would be able to produce normal words, Elder P."

Lia took a step backwards and her face mingled in complete darkness.

"No, will you tell me the purpose?"

"The more you want-"

"The more you won't get it," Lia finished his sentence.

"Elder P, Elder C please look at these gorgeous corpses, which one is to your fancy?" Lia behaved as if she was selling them goods,

"This one?" she pointed at the corpses at the door but neither of the elders moved their heads along, instead, they were looking at her,

"Oh, one of those two?" Lia clapped her hand and then talked to one of the corpses,

"Come here, I have something good for you."

To both elder's dismay, the corpse moved at her command.

"What's this power?" Elder P pursed his lips.

"How about a deal? I tell you if you tell me what I want to know," Lia's voice became gradually cheerful.

"Fuck that," Elder C hated her guts, "You think you can leave alive after messing with us Elder?"

"Elder C aren't you too old to be acting like a teen in puberty?" Lia smiled and stepped into the light, she pushed her bangs back and her smile grew wider and wider until it was brilliant enough to let the elders who already stumbled backwards, completely trip.

They couldn't believe their eyes. Why… Why was she here?
