Chapter 606: Saved or not?
Elliana lay flat on her back as she looked at the sky, her eyes feeling too tired. Her vision was already blurred out.
Keeping them open was a task that she didn’t want to do anymore.
Maybe it was for the welfare of everyone. If she died today, this power war would end, and no one would come for her husband or his kingdom. No one would be brought back from the dead, and no rules would be broken.
Elliana smiled softly, the pain-numbing her thoughts.
"Boss! Please keep your eyes open! Please don’t close them. For us, for your vampire women’s team, for your husband that you love so much, please keep your eyes open," Jasmine’s voice was nothing more than a distant noise in the background, like someone banging the walls of a soundproof room.
"It’s the end?" Elliana asked herself.
There was no doubt it was all because of the smell in this forest and her siren powers wanting to be free. She knew she needed to fight these thoughts, but how was she supposed to do that when even her body was screaming at her to let go?
Elliana coughed more blood as she lay there, letting nature take its course. She has been fighting for so long that she needed some rest, a well-intended and prolonged rest.
She started to close her eyes slowly, her actions scaring Jasmine, who sat with her boss’s head in her lap.
"No. Please don’t close your eyes on me. What will I tell others? What will I say to your people? I couldn’t protect you from your own thoughts? Boss, please don’t do this. We all need you," Jasmine rocked Elliana in hopes she would open her eyes, tears brimming her own eyes.
As she looked around helplessly, the tears started to fall on Elliana’s face, and the cold drops immediately brought Elliana out of her daze that wanted her to lay back and not fight.
