Chapter 51: Blood Thirsty Fiend, Rose Eagle Thorn

A flow of stuttery steps resounded through the alleyways.

Like the drops of a broken damn falling on the sink, seeking to drown in the waste, relentlessly, non-stop.

Even as her entire body persevered in peak condition, Vera's soul continued to draw her down to the abyss.

It had been two days already, despite having food in her backpack, she hasn't eaten, for the past two days, she has seen nobody... not a single soul.

'Why do I still live?' 

Those words, she had repeated them in her mind for so long.

Why not just go to that creature, and fall there as well? perhaps that pain will be better than what she's currently feeling.

As if she just had her soul mercilessly torn like paper, even when she arrived in this damned place, recalling her last moments with Anastacia... she didn't feel like this... this torn and wretched.

'Why do I still live?'

'Whenever a situation wants to drag you down, that's your best chance, Vera... congratulations... you have gained a stepping stone, now stand up, beat it and come out victorious... by the end of it, you won't be the same, you will be better.' Fayette's words voyaged through her neurons as she recalled that moment... the moment she defeated her first wolf. 

'Why do I still live?'

'You're always bound to find yourself in difficult situations, life isn't easy and we won't be with you at all times... there is always a way, Vera... if you can't find it... make it.' His words came into her mind, like a self-preservation mechanism.

'Why do I still live?'

'You are one of the best women I have ever met, what you have done is not filthy... it's bravery.'

'...W-why do I... s-still... l-live?'

'I didn't train a coward, Vera... if you ever think about taking your own life after everything we have gone through... I will haunt you... we will haunt you.'

"..." No matter how many times she thought about it, how many times she sought motivation in their words, it only did the same... make her feel worse, sadder, more warmth-deprived.

More abandoned.

*sob*

*sob*

"Please, haunt me! please... come and haunt me!"

Once again her knees gave up, taking her down onto the filthy ground, the same way it had happened dozens of times already.

Even then, she couldn't take her own life and surrender herself to that creature, it would go against their wishes, their effort, their sacrifice...

The epitome of a cracked soul is depression, one that burns yourself to ashes and deprives you of happiness.

What Vera is currently feeling.

As she sobbed, she held her Rose Eagle Thorn tightly, her gift, the gift she had gotten from them... from Valentine.

She felt so much regret... that she hadn't become strong enough, that she hadn't taken a proactive stance in their relationship, that she hadn't said her feelings clearly... to the two of them.

It's all gone now and she feels so much regret and so much...

ANGER.

"We've finally lost that damned Mahogany tree."

"Ahhh... H-How long has it been already, how much longer will we have to run!? THIS IS HELL! HELL!"

Two individuals just came out from an intersection wearing rags, they're humans... they panted and were covered in sweat and blood, who knows how long they have dwelled across these cursed paths or the atrocities they have committed to survive, but even then... they're still here.

"SSHHH!!! l-look..." He swiftly shushed his partner when his eyes regarded a figure in the darkness across the corridor.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you see that? there in the distance..."

"No... could it be a demon?!"

"Be quiet! and no... it looks like a girl... let's get closer..."

"Keep silent..."

When the two men with rags approached the figure, they realised that indeed, it was a woman... a woman that seems to be crying while kneeling on the bloody floor.

"We're lucky today... we haven't eaten in months..." The second man whispered, licking his lips even when he saw the woman who not only looked quite hot from this angle, but she even had clothes and a backpack!

That dagger she has in her hand too... were it not for the lack of wings, tail or horns... he'd believe this is a demoness, with the century he has spent in this accursed place after that test, this is the first human he has seen wearing such clothes.

"Approach friendly at first and then..." The first one also snickered as they approached, trying the most gentleman smile they could muster, the hunger... the sorberb... aside from anger, those were their common sins.

Sins that didn't allow them to think rationally, right now, in front of them... there is not a person that shouldn't be wearing those clothes... no, it's just a hot girl to fuck and then devour...

"Hey, girl, are you alright? can we help you with anything...?"

"..."

"We don't have any bad intention, we just want to talk... there is this creature moving around, it's better if we work together to survive in this place."

*THUMP*

'PERFECT! PREY...! KILL THEM... KILL THEM AND EAT THEM...'

'N-NO... N-NOT EAT...' Aside from Valentine and Fayette's flesh... she didn't want to eat anyone else... it's a ritual, it's their ritual!

'EAT THEM... EAT THEIR SOULS, YOU WILL BECOME STRONGER... YOU WANT TO SAVE THEM, NO? THE MAN THAT YOU LOVE, VALENTINE WAGNER... YOUR BELOVED, YOUR BELOVED 'SISTER'... THAT WOMAN THAT'S TAKING YOUR MAN... YOU WANT TO SAVE THEM...'

'B-BUT I DON'T WANT TO EAT ANYONE ELSE... J-JUST...'

'EAT THEM... THEY'RE STILL ALIVE... YOU JUST NEED TO BECOME STRONG ENOUGH! EAT THEM! EAT THEM, STAB ME INSIDE THEIR FILTHY SKULLS, DRINK THEIR DISGUSTING BLOOD! DEVOUR THEIR LIVERS AND THEIR BRAINS, INGEST THEIR SOULS, DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING LEFT! NOT EVEN THE BONES! EAT THEM!!!!'

*THUMB!*

*THUMB!!*

*THUMB!!!*

Her heart palpitated, her hands clenched so tight around the knife's handle that her nails sunk in her flesh... her pair of brown eyes went bloodshot as the unceasing feeling of bloodlust crept her mind like never before.

'Stronger... become stronger to save them!' 

The Russian beauty knows she's being influenced... but... as long as she can see them again, she doesn't care.

SO BE IT!

...

"I think she's traumatized, Jack... n-now is the-!"

The man was about to simply lunge now that the woman seemed to be in this weakened state, she's rather beautiful, after having some fun with her and de-stressing themselves, they could have a nice meal like the one they had a few months ago.

They needed to survive, nothing else mattered.

But Vera stood up slowly at that moment as if she was a puppet being pulled by strings.

"... so you're finally going to..."

*SLASH!!*

"..."

*THUD*

One phantom bloody haze and half of a head fell, leaving a spectacle of blood that stained the entire corridor.

"L-Leo... y-you-!"

*SLASH!!!*

Another slash and another head fell lifelessly on the filthy ground... just like that.

The knife went through their bodies like butter... if it could damage the though skin of a demon to such an extent

'Disgusting... they're humans... they're weak... demons, we need to eat demons... but for the time being... eat them... eat their crystals!'

'w-who... are you...?' Vera's legs quivered as she fell down on her knees yet again, her body stained with blood as she crawled to those corpses.

'I'm the blade you're holding... I can give you power! I can make you stronger! but... there are conditions... otherwise, you're not qualified to be my host and I will kill you!!"

'If I become stronger... can I stay beside them...?' As if being controlled, she sought those tattoos, because she knows that's where the crystal is... she needs to eat it!

'You can... that's the only way you can stay with them... stay with Valentine... our beloved Valentine, his blood is so delicious and he brings me... memories... AS YOU'RE NOW, YOU'RE TOO WEAK! EAT THEM CRYSTALS! I'M HUNGRY! DEVOUR THEM NOW!!'

!!!

*SLAP!!*

'DON'T ORDER ME AROUND, THIS IS MY BODY!' Once again anger flourished as Fayette fiercely slapped her own cheeks to get a grip, this thing is trying to gain control, she can't allow it to gain control!

'If you want to see them again, you have to cooperate with me!'

'...'

'Now eat their souls! you will become stronger if you eat them! DO IT NOW!'

Biting her lips and with shaking hands, Vera extracted the crystals and ate them... it's not her first time doing it, but... it's the first time she doesn't do it out of hunger.. but rather... something else.

Unlike before... they didn't taste horrible, no... they tasted so well!

!!!

Her mind suddenly became a little sombre as the sadness and sorrow moved to the second stage as if she had just taken a whiff out of something green and natural.

It felt so nice to not be sad, to not feel broken.

'It feels nice, right? eat the other and you will feel better... don't stop... eat their flesh too, eat it all! EAT... EAT... EAT..'

Smiling lightly, Vera took her Rose thorn... and cut a piece of flesh... yes... it's tasty.

She took it... and she devoured it.

And.... she didn't regret it.
