Chapter 6: Digging Her Own Grave
She closed her eyes and took in a whiff of the wheat field around her. Having the sword in her hand made her feel like she has finally achieved something she yearned for a long time.
[But what is this upsetting feeling in my heart?]
And followed by that came the sinking feeling in her heart. She felt her chest feeling heavy and her ears started to feel stuffy.
’You are not needed anymore... You’ve lost your purpose!’
It was the same sneering voice she heard over and over again. The arrogance and mockery in that voice made her skin crawl.
[How can he think that lowly of me?]
And then came a crushing pain in her heart. Her heart hurt so much, she thought death was a better alternative to that pain.
[No! I will live!]
She opened her eyes.
[Guess I am back!]
With the shovel in her hand, she was digging. Lucy was behind her, throwing the mud out of the hole they are digging.
She wasn’t even thinking about what she was doing as she was in deep thoughts. The ground was a bit easy to dig since it rained some time ago and even then, her hands hurt a lot.
