"What?" Isabella muttered in shock. She didn't understand why Eva had suddenly changed so drastically.
"Are you deaf?" Eva said rudely and turned Isabella toward her.
Isabella was horrified at the sight of Eva. She no longer looked like a quiet and shy girl. Her eyes were as mad as the expression on her face.
"You're a psycho!"
Isabella began to understand why Wain had chosen Eva. It was in his style and exceeded even their wildest expectations.
"We're all insane. Just in different degrees." Eva said, smiling, and pulled Isabella to her. She grabbed her neck with one hand and her breasts with the other, "You have pretty big tits. I like men more, but I don't mind trying it with a girl like you. What do you say?"
Isabella couldn't answer as Eva miscalculated her strength and squeezed Isabella's neck too hard. She realized this and let her go. Isabella fell to the ground and tried to catch her breath. She looked at Eva with a menacing look, but Eva saw it as something other than resentment.
"Bitch, are you getting horny?" Eva muttered, licking her lips.
Isabella flinched. She couldn't believe that Eva had somehow figured it out. She couldn't let Eva think she was right.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Who could even get turned on by something like that? That's natural violence!" Isabella exclaimed.
In a normal situation, her words would have been true. Eva was actually being rude and could cause harm with her actions, but this situation was far from normal.
Whoooosh.
Eva threw Isabella to the floor and roughly took her by the chin, "Don't lie. You can't fool me, I get just as turned on as you do, but unlike me, you can only obey."
Isabella didn't know what to answer. Eva saw right through her, and she looked bossy and cruel at that moment. Isabella could not fight back but tried to fight Eva off.
Isabella punched her, but Eva easily stopped her hand with one finger. The difference in their strength was enormous, and Eva would take advantage of it.
"You're resisting, aren't you? I like it even better that way, though." Eva squeezed Isabella's neck again.
She didn't spare her and used enough force to make tears come out of Isabella's eyes in a few seconds. Isabella tried to fight back, but her blows were like mosquito bites to Eva.
Eva smiled and loosened her grip slightly. Isabella wanted to take a deep breath, but Eva suddenly kissed her. Isabella's eyes widened in shock, but she no longer tried to pull Eva away from her. She didn't know how to react or what to do about such a situation. It was crazy.
Eva was taking advantage of her weaknesses, and Isabella couldn't help that she was enjoying it. She was a prisoner of her feelings and cravings.
"Isabella, don't you want to be my bitch? I'm Wain's bitch, and you'll be mine. We'll have a vertical love triangle. Wouldn't that be fascinating?"
"What are you... I... I need to think." Isabella was embarrassed and threw Eva off herself and ran away.
Eva wasn't going to stop her. She liked the fact that the bold and confident Isabella was acting like an insecure girl in front of her.
After a few seconds, Eva's eyes returned to normal, and she covered her face with her hands, "What have I done? I was supposed to be friends with Wain's friends, not fighting with them. I hope Isabella doesn't resent me too much."
...
It took Wain quite a while to get to the top of the biggest mountain. He had to jump between the rocks and climb them like a rock climber.
Agnes was sitting in a lotus pose on the edge of the cliff. She heard someone coming and turned around.
"Oh, Wain, it's you." Agnes said smiling slightly.
"Yes, I have a question for you. It has to do with the Purgatory zones."
"Sure, I'll tell you everything I know."
"That zone you and I met in. You said it had to be destroyed after I took Soul Pearl from there. I want to know if the space remains in that case, or does it also disappear?"
"Hmm, if you want to go there, you can do it. However, right now, the place is nothing more than ruins floating in the air. After Soul Pearl disappears from the Purgatory zone, it is destroyed, it's true, but that applies to the things in the zone and the energy.
It is as if a small planet has collapsed. There is nothing alive on it anymore, but the wreckage keeps floating in space. It's the same situation in this case." Agnes muttered.
"I see." Wain nodded, "The entrance to the Purgatory area is in the same place as before?"
"Yes, it's there forever now. Only some sort of spatial anomaly can interfere with it, but I'd hurry anyway if I were you. Anything can happen in Purgatory."
"Okay, I'll hurry then. I won't get in your way." Wain said, and his silhouette blurred. He headed back toward Gisle.
Agnes nodded and continued to meditate. She felt peaceful and calm in this place. Unlike the others, she had no goal of becoming one of the pretenders and getting the island's greatest treasure.
She wanted a challenge and to be one with nature. Merge Island was perfectly suited to fulfill these goals.
"It's strange, even though this is the calmest place on the island, I'm excited... This rarely happens to me, would change be a disaster?" Agnes muttered, thinking about the 24-hour timer.
...
"Gisle, where's the plane?" Wain asked.
"Behind that rock, Vineta should be there. She'll explain it to you. Elsa, go with him." Gisle said, pointing north.
Elsa nodded.
"Wain, where are you going?" Eva asked. After 'talking' with Isabella, she went back to the camp.
"Overion, I won't be long, at least I hope so. Before the changes start, I'll be back."
Wain and Eva were a couple, and he wouldn't give that up. Eva was a unique girl and the only one who could make his heart beat so hard and so often. However, that didn't mean he had to spend every second with her.
He had his personal affairs, and so did she. Wain believed that everyone should have space. He didn't think it was necessary to be with his love twenty-four hours a day.
It was fraught with the risk of people getting bored with each other, not right away, but time passes quickly. Wain wasn't about to make such stupid and unnecessary mistakes.
"I see. I'll stay here, for now, I want to get to know everyone." Eva said smiling.
"You are always welcome here." Gisle muttered.
Isabella didn't answer anything. She occasionally looked at Eva and twirled her hair around her finger as if she were thinking about something.
Eva's presence made her unnaturally calm and insecure. Eva wanted to talk to her and apologize for what had happened, but she didn't think it was the best time.
'Did something happen between Eva and Isabella? Well, it's none of my business anyway.' Wain thought and headed for the plane.
He had about ten hours left and was determined to resurrect Forgotten.
