Chapter 27 - This Time I Will Fight For My Love

Mike quickly took the various parchments containing Alex's face from different angles. Whether it's his smile or anger, his every emotion was beautifully drawn out. Janet found a small booklet from the trunk which had many scribblings inside it.

" I think it is best to give this to Alex, it must be Lamia's personal journal. He might be able to recognize it."

Jordan and Janet eagerly left with the book, considering it as the best gift for Alex who was struggling to find his beloved all these years.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the manor, master Rotrigues asked Alex to wait outside Emmy's room before they began the process for retrieving her memory. He wanted the environment as quiet as it can be, so one person must guard the room properly to minimize the disturbances.

Watching Emmy, who suddenly became edgy and defensive, the master once again tried to discourage her. However, she was adamant to complete the process at any cost. She wanted to find out about her parent's murderers but now, she wanted to know more, how her family was connected to Alex's beloved.

" My child, please sit calm and focus on whatever I'm saying with your eyes closed. You will be falling into a deep sleep. Don't get panicked if you start seeing any images or people while you are at it because those will be your memories fragments. Just relax your body and try to accommodate those instances in your brain."

Emmy nodded to the master who then raised his right hand over her head. Closing her eyes, Emmy could feel an electric current surging on the top of her head. She felt it tickle her skin, then slowly the current started to penetrate through her scalps making it painful minute after minute.

Emmy closed her eyes tightly, her body started to shiver, her hands were trembling but she clenched her jaws to endure the pain. Slowly, her conscious mind drifted away, taking her to a deep slumber. Master Rotrigues saw that Emmy had fallen asleep, as his part was finished, he called upon Alex to look after Emmy while he went to replenish his energy.

" Alex, keeping aside all the grudges between us, Emmy is now in a deep coma, she is tackling with the energy which I passed on to her body. Make sure no one shall try to wake her amidst the process, she may scream or shout for help. If anyone tries to wake her up, then Emmy shall lose her conscious mind forever making her mentally retarded."

Alex did not respond to the master's words immediately, he was watching Emmy struggling and an intense heart-wrenching pain shot in his heart. He gave a gentle bow to the master and silently kept Emmy company.

As master Rotrigues came out of the room, he was welcomed by Jordan and Janet, they wanted to meet Alex but was asked to return by the master.

Inside the room, Alex saw that the trembling Emmy suddenly became stiff, he became nervous and his first reflex was to poke Emmy to wake her up, but then he remembered the master's warning. After ensuring that she was breathing, Alex sat back on his seat to continue his watch over her.

Meantime, Emmy found herself running towards a beam of light, it was the same light source that was in her nightmares. When she touched the light source, she found herself standing on the eerie graveyard of the Envoy Salian campus.

Emmy thought about the master's words, she might see people or any things which are connected to her past. Even so, she couldn't relate to seeing this graveyard before she started her college days. She followed her guts and walked forward to see whether the college and hostel were the same as in the present but to her surprise, there were neither any buildings nor any constructions.

This place was like a piece of barren land with a beautiful lake on its side. Emmy walked towards the lake but suddenly she heard a high pitched laugh from the other side of the lake.

Emmy could not see through the fog clearly, a little while later when the fog got cleared, she saw an angelic beauty swaying in the air and that attractive woman was straight looking at her.

" Oh look, who am I seeing? I told you before, you can never win over me sister."

The woman who was dressed in a white-clad robe had diamonds studded on it and she was wearing a necklace of pure white pearls. Her inky hair highly contrasted with her white clothes. Altogether, she was looking like a celestial being, however; the disdain in her eyes clearly showed jealousy towards her sister.

Emmy couldn't digest a pretty woman calling her sister. She was sure that this sister purely hated her sibling as her behavior was utterly mocking this helpless one. She looked up to the lady and involuntarily, her mouth began to voice out.

" Sister, it is true I cannot win over such a scheming witch like you. In the past, I gave up everything, you know for whom. Mark my words sister, next time I won't let down my strength thinking about anyone who never cared for me. This time, I will fight for my love."

Emmy was shocked inside as she felt someone else was controlling her, but she relaxed her body to calm down her emotions. In the next instant, she found herself in the clifftop manor, with blood all over her body. There she saw her parents, her father was crying out loud holding her mother who had passed away. A sword was pierced into her father's chest, but still, he was holding up.

Then her father looked at her, he bravely removed that sword which was pierced through his chest with great difficulty. With blood oozing out of the wound, he tottered towards her, falling on his knees in front of her, he gave her the same sword.

" Avenge my family."

Emmy felt as if her heart was torn into pieces, her father pleaded with her in his last moment to avenge his family. She looked at the sword and tightened the grip on it. Soon, the sword got smashed into fine powders.

" I will kill each one of you."
